If you clicked on this article to read another story on Medium on how you can Dropship another product, become the next crypto/NFT Millionaire, or how to make a youtube channel. This is not for you. IF you really want to make money online, I recommend you read my article on how to make $5k-$50k through real estate investing here. Just so we’re clear, I’m not doubting the success stories from each of the fields mentioned above, and I’m sure there are fortunes to be made in each one of them I just don’t have the formula or the heart to sell you a bunch of BS with false hopes that you’ll be rubbing shoulder with Jeff Bezos next week. What I do have are tested and already laid out, methods I have tried myself that have made me thousands of dollars at one point in my life or currently.

NOT ONLINE!
The hard truth is everyone nowadays has forgotten about the hard work, and I don’t mean surfing the internet all day “hard work” I mean, the real labor-intensive trades that many people are still making six-figure incomes, and supporting families, going on vacation, buying homes, buying cars & putting their kids through school. These trades require you to go outside and sweat and get mud on your jeans and boots. If you want to make a six-figure income and you are not afraid of basic marketing strategies and hard work, then keep reading.
The Side Hustle
If you’re still reading…. The side hustle is power washing driveways, back patios, sides of homes, sidewalks, garages, and fences. I know what you’re visualizing a Super-Duty F-250 hauling a custom 16-ft trailer and a 600-gallon water tank. Yes, that’s the mecca for doing this job faster and more efficiently, but that’s a $30k investment (not including the truck). The reality is you can start with a more simplistic machine, you hook it up to a water source and you’re in business! Small machines start at $200 dollars and a gallon of power washing detergents go for around $12 dollars at your local home depot or lowes. There are lower price point machines, but you want to go for at least 2500 psi and a gas-powered one, the electric power washer is doable but not recommended at all; you’ll spend way more time and energy to complete the job with an electric powerwash. Price points vary depending on the machine’s PSI (Pounds Per Inch) the faster it spits out the water, the faster you complete the job, and the less water you use.

To get started all you need is the machine, hoses (they come with it. I recommend your own water hose) good waterproof boots or overalls, business cards, and flyers, and to walk around for about an hour handing out your flyers in neighborhoods close to you. You can also market yourself online on the Facebook marketplace, Craiglist, Instagram, etc…. I recommend walking around with flyers at hand and your truck/van nearby since you can get work on the spot and charge that very day instead of waiting for them to DM you through social media, and that conversation will go like this “Hey I’m looking to powerwash my driveway, how much do you charge? “ “You answer $100 bucks” They ghost you, as opposed to you having a friendly conversation with them right there and then handing them your flyer and explaining what you do and for how much. If they don’t need your service there and then they’ll more than likely tell you about someone they know that needs it in that neighborhood. You don’t need to sell anything or be pushy you’re offering them a service they may need or they might not need, if they don’t need it then kindly tell them to tell a friend or save your number for when they may need it and you move on to the next door.
It’s not simple and it’s hard work; a driveway may take about 1.5 hours depending on the size and if you do it correctly. I suggest at the beginning you tell everyone you come across or door knock that you’re power washing driveways in the community for tips and anything they may want to give you is fine. You’re just starting off and you need all the referrals you can get. I started by complete accident I got one for personal use then asked my neighbor if I could do their driveway since i had no more use after completing my driveway. They then referred me to their cousins, then to friends than to more friends. Once your work speaks for itself, you’ll be getting calls here and there. You always have to market and keep the work coming. You can then start charging $100 –200 per driveway or more if they’re huge or need extra areas of their property treated. If you get one to two jobs per day, you’ll be making that six-figure income in no time!
