Just finished the first 40 ov 170 builders cleans today. All the tradesmen and i mean all who i spoke too where worried about there jobs and the current climate.
The only one without any worries was ME. the lowly window cleaner. I do have worrys tho. ~Getting all my domestic customers cleaned!
Seriously MATT
I have done all sorts and I meen ALL sorts, from owning an off licence to car lott/garage to financial advice.
My window cleaning business is the best!!! BY FAR way of making a living!!
Just a thought. Have a good hard think. You probably have had many BUT have another!!!
Best of luck whatever you choose

Really suprised Matt, wishing you all the very best at uni, you have always been a great help to me, infact you sorted my brand new RO when i first got it.
Was great to meet you and Susan in Cov earlier in the year.
Really hope you carry on posting on here even when your at uni.
Matt give me a shout if you want to sell your pressure washer bud.

Thanks guys, I am going to study photography, I am also going to clean windows but just not everyday, I am going to use my backpack and work from a car.

I am working on placements with professional photographers as an assistant, I will also be photographing weddings as of next summer.

It doesn't matter what industry you are in, it all comes down to building a customer base! I can earn £200 per day window cleaning, but I can earn £600-£800 for photographing a wedding, most of my work will be studio work taking portrait photographs ( in the warmth) lol

sounds good matt but is the work hard to come by? as you know its easy to get window cleaning work .

Title: Re: Van and DIY system For Sale!
Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on November 21, 2010, 02:37:10 pm
I will be looking at working at a studio like Olan Mills etc until I have built a reputation and a customer base.

One good thing about window cleaning, is the fact window cleaning customers are fairly easy to get, so I will always have that to fall back on.
