No, Robert, I have the motors sat at home boxed and waiting for the courier since Thursday >:(

I used my other machine to clean a pub this morning but I kept thinking, if this machine decides to bugger up too, I'll lose this job and possibly others!!! It held out and the job was a good'n!

Skywalker:

No doubt the force is with you on this one. I ageee with you that delivering flyers yourself keeps you fit and also give you peace of mind.

For me it does genuinely work out at 5 jobs per 1k of flyers.

However in order to get to that point you have to delivering in the same areas every 2 months for at least a year.

Your right on that :)

its getting your name out there regular so they keep seeing your leaflet :)

Just put 750 out last week and had e mail from 1 asking for the offer with free carpet when you get your suite cleaned.

Hi Colin

Im not wafer thin myself but an hours walk a day will soon get you trimmed up in a few months!! Honestly mate £250 extra a week makes £1000 per month, £12,000 a year for an hours walking a day! It's hit and miss. Some weeks you may get nothing, other weeks you might hit on and get some major jobs! Thats the name of the business!

Did my first job today from my personal leaflet deliveries. Did her small 2 seater sofa, 6 dining room chairs, stainguard and 2 bottles of spotter. £110.00. In the house about 90 mins. Going back in a fortnight to do her leather 3 piece and a small rug. Thatll be another £170.00. So £280.00 for an hours leafleting every day.

Went out for another hour this afternoon. Was half way in to leafleting when a guy called and sounds like hes willing to spend a good £200+ on getting his house sorted. He said I got your leaflet about 5 minutes ago!!  There are no easy ways to get work but get your a$$es out for an hour a day and youll be surprised at the outcome!

Nice one Clinton! Do what I do...when you go to an area that you like stick an hours worth in the letterboxes while your there (preferably before the job). That way if anyone rings straight away you can nip around and do the quote while your in the area. This saves on fuel and time.

By the way the second job I got was worth £260.00 so get yourselves out for at least an hour a day and  you will see the difference in a few months I promise!!
