Title: Domestics only?
Post by: Davew on May 23, 2007, 08:02:13 pm
Lots of claims of high earnings/turnover on this site. Does anyone on here make good money on just domestics? I only have them at the moment and really enjoy most of them but will I need commercial?

Aside from a local dentist surgery and a community hall that I've done for 15-20 years and a large office/factory unit and the stairwell windows of a large block of flats that I did for a couple of years some years ago, I've been a trad domestic window cleaner for 30 years with no complaints when it comes to wages.

All my work is domestic. I'm not prepared to discuss my earnings but i'm very happy.

Its not only the earnings i make out of wfp but i would never change my job now i've switched. 18 months ago i hated work, now every Monday i ready to go.

Good on you Macc I always wonder why people feel the need to post their earnings on here. I certainly wouldn't good or bad.

ITS ALL how you price just dont get to greedy you can earn good what ever route you go, only if you loss a house for a£10 thats not to bad but you loss a job for £150 thats not good is it and it can be a pain getting your cash i look at it like this as long as i enjoy doing the job and i have priced it right then it does not matter what it is moneys money after all                      marc

what some say on this site about earning I would advise anyone to take with a pinch of salt.  Sure, some days I'll earn £40/hr wfp but many days I'll average £25/hr, some jobs are £60/hr+ while others are £15/hr - its what you make in the month that counts.

Earnings, income whatever, if you are happy and stressfree with what you do, that is worth a million in itself! As for which type you have, domestic or commercial, stick with what you are happy with for every fay bread and butter work, have a dabble at other types, see how it goes, if you like it great, if you don't don't go there again! ;D
