Okay , here’s my advice .
You can’t do a half arsed “ I just want some cash money brah “ kind of business - you are in business or you are just fuckerising around .
In saying that , there is very good money to be earned $80k plus but it is very hard work .
Don’t involve yourself in Airtasker or any of the ilk - why are you giving money away ?
Advertise in local paper ,put a sign on your car , do your lawns and gardens in high vis with a sign written vehicle out the front - this will work faster than any other promo ......letterbox drops are a giant waste of effort .
My history with this kind of venture is sound - I did it for 6 years .
And yes I bought a franchise - took me 6 months to earn the initial purchase price back ( over summer )
My average week was 25 hrs , average earnings pa approx 80k .
In winter I still worked , doing gardening and handyman - in summer it was flat out keeping up with the bloody lawns and gardening !
Best job in the world , but physically exceptionally demanding - my hips and knees are buggered .
Yes , you could structure yours days around children / lifestyle .
Most people are honest and will pay , real estate agents are proper karnts , some customers like to bargain - walk away , if there is a barrier to paying in the beginning- wait till the bill needs to settled - never goes well !
Go for it , with eyes open - very rewarding , always achieve a result at the end of the day .
