How do I start my own mobile detailing ?

Rafael

I'm 20 years old live in Los angeles I have a truck & some experience in detailing/washing & some clients!

What are the basics things too buy just too start ? Any heads up ?

I was thinking pressure washer vacumme Busines cards flyate generator & washing utensils & water tank?

I have $500-700 budget!

Answer
You just about got the list right, this actually was the very first business I did. You can get lots of the stuff at Pawn Shops or on Craigslist used for a good price. I would say a good vacuum first, washing utensils and then a pressure washer generator, try and get a quite running one.

What I did was start in the residential areas, in that way I could use the clients power and water. As my funds and clients built up I got into washing at commercial spaces where you would need to have your own everything. The key to this business is trust, people have to be able to trust you with their vehicle and it's contents. So make sure you look presentably, get maybe one or two shirts with your name and some simple logo so you look legit and just market like crazy and do a good job. Always ask for referrals, and give out tons of business cards in the areas you serve.

You can also rent equipment you don't have for now as well, so book several shampoo's in one day and rent the machine from HomeDepot for the day, same with the generator and pressure washer. Also put a nice heavy orbiter and buffer on the list as well. Look to buy your stuff also wholesale if you can as this will save you some money and you get commercial grade stuff which typically perform better.

Hope this helps if I can be of additional assistance please let me know.

How can i earn some money?

pressure washer business names image

Q. I`m 17 years old,and i want to know is there any way to earn some money,because i need around 500euros to buy a keyboard,but i don`t have money for that.....Any answer will be appreciated....thanks
I`m from Serbia

Answer
1) Print first aid information on a single page. Include phone numbers for hospitals and national numbers such as the poison control center. Sell them door-to-door. Since you are located it a tough area, you might even inclued the number for a local UN representative.

2) Speak with neighbors. Offer to clean around, and under, the washer and dryer, with special emphasis on getting out the built-up dust in the dryer's exhaust vent. Include information from your local fire department about the risk of fire from accumulated lint now remaining in the vent tube.

3) Look up stocks that have paid dividends every year for over eighty years. I assume there is a stock market operating somewhere over there, so stock brokers are in need of clients. This means they have paid through recessions and the big depression. Sell this information to adults as a news service. (If you try to offer investment advice, you will be breaking the law. This information should be sold as news.)

4) Call investment professionals in your area, if there are any. Call life insurance salesmen in your area, too. That is, if companies will still write policies over there. Offer to clip the press releases printed in your local papers (especially the business press). Tape each release to a single sheet of binder paper. Look up the phone number of the person in that news release. Sell the information to one agent for five dollars per person after he makes his first sale; one dollar per person before that first sale. You can even raise the price to ten dollars per person after the third sale. This payment arrangement offers the salesman the opportunity to earn from your efforts without going broke. It also allows you to establish a clientele.

5) Learn how to set a sprinkler system timing clock. Go door-to-door offering to re-set the clocks as the seasons change. Keep the names handy, as you will return every quarter for resets. Fifty clients once each quarter, youngster, and you can start making plans for college.

6) Offer to drain the hot water heater of the sediment. Since one of the chief causes of HWH failure is the build-up of the sediment, you can save your clients from replacing their water heaters soon. You can also offer to leave an inexpensive hose attached to the drain valve. Then, when you return every six months, you only need take the far end of the low pressure hose out of the garage, turn on the spigot, and let five gallons out. Leave that thin hose extended and against the wall of the garage.

7) Offer to read a chapter of the Holy Bible to families in the area. They can even work in the kitchen, as an example, while you read.

OK. You have a few of my thoughts. And a little bit of my humor.

Are there any jobs in Portland, Oregon NE for teenagers?

Markila

I'm 14, and I would like to have a job. Except I don't know any where. I've asked people older than me, but they've said no. Thank you for any answers!

Answer
Currently, unemployment is at a very high rate: about 8.5% officially in Oregon and realistically around 23% nationwide. There are many adults, parents, college graduates, artists, and others who want to work but who cannot find enoughâor any at all. This makes almost every "entry level" job to be in high demand: employers can expect high standards for new employees because many people are available.

Unfortunately, you are subject to minimum wage which means that anyone who employs you must pay at least minimum wage which is $8.95 per hour (in Oregon) since January 1st. While many people believe that minimum wage is a good idea, yours is a prime example of how it hurts workers. Unless you have valuable skills, no one is inclined to pay an inexperienced, unskilled worker that much. Maybe receiving $5 per hour for office gopher would be fine with you and many potential employers would gladly pay that for certain kinds of work. However, that rate of pay is illegal.

There are several things you can do to earn some money and circumvent the minimum wage law. Babysitting and mowing lawns are time-honored teenage work. Offer to mow lawns near where you live for a reasonable amountâlike $10 for a small yard, and $40 for a huge one. This time of year many people with houses do outdoor chores which are a strain for middle age and older adults: rototilling, spreading mulch, pulling stumps, fertilizing, sowing new lawns, cleaning roofs and driveways.

If you have access to a power washer, rototiller, or garden tools and are willing to do this kind of work, go door to door at the nicer houses which could use some work and ask. Bid an enticing fixed price upfront for the work: "Hello, my name is Joe and I noticed your vegetable garden could use rototilling and preparation for Spring seeding. I am willing to do that for $15. How about it?"

Expect to hear "no" a lot with this approach, so keep trying. It is sometimes hard to know if you are asking too much or if they really don't need the work doneâor maybe they don't like something about you or your appearance. If you get a long streak of "no" (like ten in a row), ask a few what you can do to win their business.

To get any repeat businessâthe very best kindâbe sure you know what you are doing. Damaging tools, blowing little holes in driveways with a pressure washer, mowing flowerbeds, or making the sod lumpy are not going to make happy customers. Be sure to ask someone knowledgeable (like your parents or parents of friends) for instructionâmaybe formal lessonsâfor things you do not know well.

Where can I buy boat cleaning supplies in bulk?

Questionma

I would like to start a boat cleaning business and would like to buy big 5 gallon or 55 gallon drums of cleaning supplies and waxes and polishes. Is there a website or supplier? Thanks for the help, I am a college student and just wanting to make some extra cash in the summers.

Answer
Cleaning supplies for boats are not really much different from most everything else. Ok! Guys calm down! Yes, there are a ton of "Boat products! Special care should be exercised when it comes to environmental issues. (Green Products). Vinyl plastic, Canvas parts, Fiberglass, some upholstery issues.

But, Soap is Soap.

Other than some "caustic" products I've found you can do about as well at Costco, as from "wholesalers". I even find useful things at the Dollar store.

I once bottled my own brand of Boat wash. I bought drums of a pretty good cleaner, bottled it and labeled it. it retailed for about half the price of Name brand "boat cleaner".

The trick is to "know" what works and what doesn't.

You can buy wax and rubbing compounds, from "Automotive Paint" wholesalers. Like Sherwin-Williams Auto Paint stores. (Different from their regular paint stores.)

But you can also get set up to buy from boat stores, like West Marine or Defenders Boat supply. The more you buy the better the price. However the bulk savings are small in comparison to other businesses. (Read: "are not worth the effort")

I think the biggest thing you need to know about is the use of buffers, pressure washers, etc. Be very mindful of safety. Wear goggles. Rubber gloves, long sleeve shirts etc.

Im going on a people to people ambassador trip and need $7000 what are some good fund-raising ideas?

Beatrice L

ive been invited to go to an people to people ambassador trip to australia and need $7000 to go ..what are some really good reasonable fund-raising ideas????...i really want to go HELP!
and i need it my this summer (june)

Answer
You do not let us know the time frame.

Here are some thoughts. If you are competent enough, I would even suggest that you become licensed as a consultant and sell either investment advice or insurance advice. The seven thousand could be earned with just a few clients.

In fact, if the other ideas do not comport to your situation, contact me through Yahoo Answers if you know some individuals who have not yet put their financial affairs together in such a way as to lessen income taxation. I would consider funding your trip through a legal contract...if you are old enough to satisfy your state's requirements for acceptance.

Other methods:
1) Print first aid information on a single page. Include phone numbers for hospitals and national numbers such as the poison control center. Sell them door-to-door. You will need about seven thousand buyers.

2) Speak with neighbors. Offer to clean around, and under, the washer and dryer, with special emphasis on getting out the built-up dust in the dryer's exhaust vent. Include information from your local fire department about the risk of fire from accumulated lint now remaining in the vent tube. At twenty dollars per home, you will need about 350 customers.

3) Look up stocks that have paid dividends every year for over eighty years. This means they have paid through recessions and the big depression. Sell this information to adults as a news service. (If you try to offer investment advice, you will be breaking the law. This information should be sold as news.) Especially helpful to local professionals could be local stocks that have long track records, even if they do not meet the big depression requirement. This is probably too hard a method, but it should be considered. You can employ that information for yourself.

4) Call investment professionals in your area. Call life insurance salesmen in your area, too. Offer to clip the press releases printed in your local papers (especially the business press). Tape each release to a single sheet of binder paper. Look up the phone number of the person in that news release. Sell the information to one agent for two or three dollars per person after he makes his first sale; one dollar per person before that first sale. You can even raise the price to ten dollars per person after he makes his tenth sale. This payment arrangement offers the salesman the opportunity to earn from your efforts without going broke. It also allows you to establish a clientele. The number of clients will depend upon their effectiveness. You may only need fifty or a hundred professionals. If you become licensed, the state will allow you to share the fees. You could have your seven thousand in a matter of three months or less.

5) Learn how to set a sprinkler system timing clock. Go door-to-door offering to re-set the clocks as the seasons change. Keep the names handy, as you will return every quarter for resets. Fifty clients once each quarter, youngster, and you can start making plans for buying a car for cash. This could require 700 clients. Yuk.

6) Offer to drain the hot water heater of the sediment. Since one of the chief causes of HWH failure is the build-up of the sediment, you can save your clients from replacing their water heaters soon. You can also offer to leave an inexpensive hose attached to the drain valve. Then, when you return every six months, you only need take the far end of the low pressure hose out of the garage, turn on the spigot, and let five gallons out. Leave that thin hose extended and against the wall of the garage. Twenty per home, with the cost of the hose paid for by the homeowner, you are looking at 350 customers again.

7) Offer to read a chapter of the Holy Bible to families in the area. They can even work in the kitchen, as an example, while you read.

TIP: Have a spending, investing, and cash handling system in place!!!
