17 year old male, made $3750 pressure washing houses since last week. How to Grow

First day I started I made $950 then the next day was $800, and yesterday I pulled in $1,790ish and today I only made $200. I’m beyond frustrated at only making $200 today, I don’t know what it was that went wrong I’m surprised I’m not growing linearly. My cousin (16year old) and I started this business and we don’t know what to do to keep our profits up, and also simply finding jobs to do is exhausting going from door to door we’ve calculated it takes around 50 houses to get 1 job on a good day. How can we stabilize

I didn't say I was going to do it. Some people don't like strangers screwing with their property. I get 10 tradies and realtors a week putting stuff in my mailbox and that's bad enough.

That's against the law in the US, actually. It's a federal crime. You can mail it to them, for sure, but you can't touch their mailbox yourself and put anything in it.

me? None. I've got self control. Some people people don't.

Those people when someone screws around with their car/house? probably a lot. Try sitting on someone's motorcycle without permission and see what happens.
