best way to earn a grand

« **on:** December 30, 2012, 10:19:15 am »

just for fun and because of the guy selling 3hrs for £90 i thought I would start a poll

any other ways to earn a grand?

I'll give you my answer.

3 rooms for £90. Simply as it should take less than 3 hours to complete.

Lets say it takes 2-2.5 hours. 30 mins travel between the 2 jobs. That makes a max of 6 5.5 hours a day. Still leaving enough time to market.

Do you mean a week or a day?

I would aim for hall, stairs, landing and lounge / diner at £250 to take 2 hours x twice a day x 2 days and chill for the rest of the week

Options 1 and 2 probably the most viable.
Option 3 you could spend 4 days and still
not get one.
Option 4 probably not an option either for
most people, depending on your location
of course.
Option 5 too much like hard work.

Of the 5 main options I like option 4 as it is
probably the easiest of the options.
Think option 3, for most anyway, isn't an option.

In my opinion if you own a truckmount costing 40 grand plus you should employ or Contract out to a Sales Team who have to find you Big Jobs with Miles of Carpets throughout UK

If only it was that easy.

It takes a lot to knock a Norfolkman over.
I come from the east of Norfolk.
Keep the pecker up- keep climbing all those hills.

AS you know we have not got many round hear so I walk up and down stairs etc as its raining a lot.

I remember you said you also come from Kings Lynn . Its changed a lot but still a small town compared to others.

The Incomers keep complaining about it growing thats why the roads are useless and takes an hour before we hit National Networks

That's the charm of the place- except if you live there.
I visit a couple of times a year to clear my head.
It's a very different place to that I knew in my youth.
There's always Redgate hill into Hunston.

Yep came off my bike there at 40 mph when a kid on doward slope.

But they cut it away so its not as steep as was.

Used to Paddle my Connoe from Heacham to Hunstanton during Summer.

Not sure why I came back

I spent my boyhood either playing on the steam engines on the scrapyard on the Boal Quay where the pld man used to come out of his shed and shout- now go away you young rascals- or something to that effect, or mucking around in boats at Snet beach. Now I live as far from the sea as its possible to get.

Glad to hear you are on the mend Ian.

Just out of curiosity for those of you who replied "none of the above" does that mean you don't know how you would achieve £1,000 per week or would you have another plan to get there, if so what?

£1000 per week = £250 per day (5dayweek). None of your poll answers covered that figure.

£1000 per week = about £48,000 (turnover) per year. Deduct operating costs from that and you have your profit/takings. Properly managed, this should make the owner/operator a small living wage.

Errr.. £250 on a 5 day week is £1250

If you earn £48,000 and half of it is expenses then your small living wage is more than a qualified nurse, police officer, and many other occupations

I think we should all aim for that magical 1 job a week @ a £1000 because now & again we will find it... Not every week but sometimes.

But all the effort we wil put into finding it will have a magical side effect, while waiting for that £1000 job to appear our marketing will bring in lots of £150, £200, £350, £500 jobs
