Hey everyone, big fan. First time poster here.

Anyway, I recently got fired from my job so I started a cleaning business (not fastlane, I know) to get some income in. Adwords is expensive and confusing so I want to go the flyers/sales letter route. I'll post my copy and feel free to rip it to shreds. Any advice is appreciated.

Not Enough Hours in Your Day?

Picture this. It’s 8 p.m. on a Wednesday night. You worked all day, then you had to go to the store to pick up groceries for the family, then you had to cook for the family, then you had to help the kids with homework. Now, with a couple hours left in your evening you have to decide between cleaning your home or spending some time for yourself.

If the scene above sounds like you, then you’re not alone. 70% of Americans wish they had more leisure time for themselves. At our company, we have a solution that will help open up your day and give you hours of your time back.

Schedule a cleaning with us for as low as $120 and discover how much time it will save you.
