Follow as I grow a window cleaning business

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

My 9-5 is (finally) ending after 5 years. My boss has changed my end date no less than 5 times in the past couple of years.

My last day is May 9th and I’ll get severance pay until the end of September.

Starting a window cleaning business as there’s a serious lack of good ones in my area.

Follow along as I grow it!

@loigwine @irentdumpsters @topher4235 @StrykerDigital I hear you. I got on a call with @irentdumpsters when my business was ~2 months old. Had a great first year and saw massive growth against companies that have been around way longer than me. In year two, I'm top 3 (and number 1 in most spots) in my primary service area.

@loigwine @irentdumpsters @topher4235 @StrykerDigital Nope! I run my own meta ads. Great companies deserve shout outs and Stryker has done great things for my SEO.

@topher4235 @irentdumpsters @StrykerDigital Hey Chris! I do my own meta ads.

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

I changed the smallest thing and I went from getting 1-3 reviews a week to 1-3 a day.

Instead of marking the job complete (triggering my review flow) and then sending the invoice, I started sending the invoice and THEN marking the job complete.

Mixing local SEO with paid marketing channels is really how you can grow your business quickly.

He was a perfect example of a business we have helped increase its revenue by combining the two!

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

@irentdumpsters Meta ads and working with @StrykerDigital has absolutely exploded my business in year 2 and I’m scrambling to hire (been owner/operator until now)

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

@irentdumpsters I’m running ads for window cleaning (somehow I’m the only one in my area doing this) and I’m making an absolute killing. ROAS hovers around 6-7x and ltv:cac for March was 22:1.

@HSchenewark Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

I clean windows for a living and I love telling people that.

The reactions are funny. But here's the thing: I supported a family of 4 in my first 7 months working for myself, set my own schedule, and spent zero days in an office.

"Just" a window cleaner though.

@DivysQueen @Fidelity @RobinhoodApp If you have significant margin you could reach out to fidelity about lowering your rates.

@WeddingVenueGuy If you need the windows cleaned when you get moved in, I’m down to help out!

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

@WeddingVenueGuy saw you’re taking over a spot in Clive! Excited to check it out.

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

@RosserJobs I got 4 months. Started a home service business and left!

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

@DougFlips Primarily spring and fall!

[Paul 🌞 @paulsellsstuff]

I actually made it! Finished at my 9-5 last Friday.

Today was my first day of full time window cleaning.

$1100 revenue day and a packed schedule for the rest of the month.
