The part nobody teaches you
You can learn to clean a gutter off a video this afternoon. What no one shows you is how to get the first person to hand you money for it, and that is the part that decides whether any of this happens.
Someone told us: a car · 5 to 10 hours a week · under $100 to start · a ladder in the garage.
01Gutter cleaning
- what you drive already clears what this work turns up in
- you can already lay hands on what it needs
- on-demand jobs fit a thin week
What it asks, next to what you have, so you can choose on fit
- Getting there: it wants a way to get gear to the job. You told us you have a car.
- Up front: $200 to $500 of gear, and there is a way in at $0. You told us you have under $100 to start.
- Rhythm: one-off jobs you can book around a schedule, and a thin week is enough for them. You told us you have 5 to 10 hours a week.
Realistic starter kit: $200 to $500. Renting or borrowing for the first jobs cuts the front cost.
Or price a job without an account first.
