    Hey new here

    INTRO 
    *Knock knock* "Hi my name is Arvin! Do you want your driveway power washed?" On a more serious note, social media like NextDoor and Facebook can help you get your first customer. Make a post in your neighborhood introducing yourself and offering your services. I got my first $150 booking for...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well I've decided to partner up. Me and a friend from work decided to go 50/50 on our details. Last detail took us 60% of the time it would take alone but it's fun working with him so I don't mind the tiny loss of efficiency. He's organized, has good time management, and doesn't need someone to...

    Car Detailing Business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Wouldn't call it a business yet. Mostly a side hustle as it's just me, my daily driver, and my tools. Gonna start d2d soon as school just ended. Gonna go to the rich neighborhoods and see if they need their Bimmers or Benzes cleaned haha.

    Car Detailing Business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    When I made my first post, it was basically along the lines of My name is Kevin. I go to ____ high school. I do car detailing on the side. Please reach out for estimates. I personally didn't put any price in the post. Putting price in might weed out all the low ballers and attract more serious...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm gonna assume you're a teen/young adult. I've just started myself and the best advice I can give you is to advertise on Facebook/Nextdoor. You'll get tons of leads from just one post introducing yourself and asking people if they need detailing. I would recommend starting door to door but I...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well mini update: I haven't done door to door yet but so far I've gotten 2 successful bookings and 3 soon to be bookings just from social media like Nextdoor, Snapchat, and Instgram. While I am happy to be making progress, I am not making as much as I would like per hour. I started off strong...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    UPDATE: Well I got my first booking. Went pretty smoothly just took longer than I expected. If I had my tools and chemicals organized I could have shaved an hour off my work time. After the first detail, I took some pictures and posted them on Instagram/Snapchat. Posts ended up getting me a few...

    Someone asked me to take their car to get gas and then do an exterior/interior detail. Would this be a liability concern? I would love to take up the offer but it seems like too much risk to take on.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's been one day and I've had two people reach out on Nextdoor. One of them has two cars and I have already set up an appointment to give them an in-person estimate. The other person I am trying to get an in-person estimate ASAP to make it easier to close the sale. When I finish I'm gonna ask...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is my rough draft for a Nextdoor post. Any feedback is appreciated: Hello! My name is Kevin and I go to _____ High School and detail cars on the side. I was wondering if anyone would like to receive an estimate for an interior detail. All it would take is a few pictures of your interior...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm 18 and graduating high school in basically a month. I'm pretty sufficient in interior detailing but the exterior needs some work. I have a pressure washer and foam cannon as well but I am in no state to do paint corrections or ceramic coatings yet. I'm probably gonna practice exterior on my...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well I've been reading other threads and I've decided tomorrow I'm gonna knock on some doors and ask if people want their cars detailed. I've been doing my own interior detailing on my families cars for a while, so I have a steamer, carpet extractor, shop vac, etc. Some questions I have: -...

    You said it yourself. Time management. Social skills will also help. Not sure how social you are but I was incredibly shy at that age.

    EXECUTION 
    I don't have enough money to pay someone to create it for me. I do know people who program but I'm unsure how experienced they are. I could probably ask people for pointers but I feel getting someone to invest their time and energy into a business idea which they have no clue of chance of...

    INTRO 
    I am in my last year of high school. This is my advice to you as a teenager who also fell down the self improvement rabbit hole. First of all don't cut off all your friends because they want a 9-5. 99% of people in high school are going to college or trade school of some sort. I would find...
