I already know i need to change my keywords.. I send some of my proceeda to help Vets in need... Maybe i should remove the word Veterans all together?

try "veterans strung up with christmas lights". you'll start getting clicks

>>1631461
Your veteran keywords are the only ones getting clicks. Why would you remove them?

Also who the fuck pays to have Christmas lights hung? Terrible business idea.

You wouldn't happen to be Riley would you? Sounds like one of his ideas.

Door to door sucks. I would outsource it.

I knew a guy who would take a ziplock bag and put a rock & his biz card in it. Then proceed to throw it into people yards. Primarily people with big yards because that's more money. You can spin this a bit and make a sales flyer and place it on peoples yards/doorstep. Just put a rock on it so it doesn't fly away.

Bandit signs tend to work very well. Same with flyers up on communal boards.

It's winter though. Don't expect much biz until the next season comes in.

It takes quite a while to build up enough clients to gross 100k because the only real way to get clients is word of mouth. So you are likely to spend a year making very little profit as you try to hustle up your first few clients using every trick in the book to advertise and get leads. But if you do a good job and are RELIABLE you will find that you end up with more work than you can handle as word spreads. But it takes a lot time to build up that first foundation of clients that can spread you further. It is rare for somebody to be reliable so if you show you are then you will be remembered and people will mention you to their friends over time.

But the reason it is rare for people to be reliable is they are always trying to bite more than they can chew. You want 100k gross in 12 months. That means you haven't got time to start with only a few hours a day to work your way up to a routine where you easily have the stamina to do 8-12 hour days. You will try to overload yourself and end up letting everybody down. Also, if you are not highly-experienced, you will have to charge less than fair rate for your first few clients. You are not looking for big profit from these clients, just to impress them for referrals and also to gain more experience so you produce better results when you start charging more.

I wouldn't waste my time with b2b (real estate agents and the like) until you had more experience and maybe figured out a specialty area. All established businesses will already have landscaping contacts, getting b2b service contracts is much harder than getting regular customers. You are better off waiting until you get referred to small businesses by your home clients. Trust me, offering services to businesses through cold-contact is a real nightmare.

>>1631460
Interesting you bought up b2b. Real estate in particular. It may be hard to sale those leads, but prospecting them is super easy. I'll show you how.

1) Search these strings in google..
inurl:contact <your city> realtor
inurl:contact <your city> real estate
Add any other keyword you think would work. Construction companies maybe?

2) Write up a sales letter. Google "email copy writing tips" for help on that.

3) Copy + paste your sales letter to every website contact form that came up from your search query.

There's bots to do this. There's Indians to do this. It doesn't take much time to manually anyway. Spend an hour a day and you'll hit everyone before the week is over. Get a sale and it's a win.

Word of the wise is create several sales copy emails and split test them all. Assuming you have a website, make a bitly link unique to each sales letter. Then simply track which link got the most clicks. Once you establish which letter works the best, ditch the inferior ones.

Fuck the public, just tell me! Let's see what happens

if you did come up with such a thing, you would be smart enough to figure out why it would near instantaneously fail the moment you went public with it.

That's why the "stockfags" are laughing at you.
Bust your ass a little more, sucker.

I bought a short-sale 1100sqft condo for 90k. Spent 2k to fix little things
-painted the ceilings and the easy rooms with contractor left overs from sherwin williams...had Mexicans do the rest,

-spray painted the light fixture trim and heating vents white,

-installed white light switches and outlets,

-had the carpets stretched,

Sold it for 150k. Should have rented it for a year or two and then sold it...the value was about 240k on zillow last time I checked. Not sure how accurate they are, but I sold for about 30k more than zillow was appraising at the time.

You need to get a fucking job

You don't even have enough money to open a checking account

You should have enough for two shares of KNPD. Its a biz favorite, solid track record and really good annual returns. Its a service oriented company.

Where my BAS bros at? Let's shoot for one more round.

Really? You don't think a lack of sociopathy is a factor?

>>1631125
>which is my best guess to why so few people do it.
Lots and lots of people do it, it is just that the failure rate is extremely high. It doesn't require "disjointed interests" or any other autistic shit to run a cult. It requires a deep understanding of human emotion and how to manipulate it without generating resentment or violent sexual-based conflict. It is extremely difficult to pull off, even Carlos Castaneda died broke.

I own a wedding invitation business with my girlfriend.

All you have to do to "start" a small business is get calls and make money in my opinion. You should only worry about anything else later.

Promote your business on instagram, facebook or whatever is most popular in your area. If you get too many jobs, hire someone.

I once did a trade show and it was expensive, tiring and it didn't get us many customers, but we did make some good business contacts.

That's all I've learned I think.

>>1631081
Take the calls and then show up and take their money. Shit it's not that hard. Second thread I've seen today where someone is offered money for business and they come here and say "wat do i do biz"
