17. A Lawn Mowing Company
In my recent blog article, 5 Incredibly Boring Ways to Make a Lot of Money, I covered the basics of how to start and grow a lawn mowing business. You can get the equipment new or used for under $5000. this will leave you with enough to buy some locally targeted search engine advertising. The audience can be people who are on the internet and looking for your services. If not, the best approach to growing a lawn mowing company anyways is getting your friends, and family to hire you. Then you can learn and use the profits to start putting ads up everywhere and growing your client list. When you grow big enough you can start hiring some workers to actually mow the lawns. Then you can devote all your attention to managing and growing the business.
This business needs someone who likes working outdoors. The individual should have a lot of experience working with flowers, trees, shrubs, and gardens. It involves designing, planting, and managing the gardens. It’s significant to get an idea from your clients exactly their expectations of the ideal garden that they want. Other things you may need to know, include the design of landscaping, their budget, and time frames. The job will then involve placing the plants, soil, rocks, and fertilizer. The garden can be done in phases depending on the client’s requirements. You can charge for your services anything between $25 to $50 per hour. This business works well with repeat customers and therefore, you need to give out your best services. You can advertise your services in a local newspaper and online. Getting to know the garden retailers will help you find more customers.
