we sat and did the figures last night when this guy approached me and the numbers don't lie.

being a window cleaner pays.



i was talking to this guy who solicited his services to me this morning. 15 dollars a week. he does about 11 plazas. each plaza after you avg it out has 10 stores That's 6600 bucks a month. Working 2.5 days a week.

let's see a few bucks for a squeegee a bucket some cleaner and gas in the car.

what are some of y'all waiting on????
 
Was the guy an older cat? Young cats think labor jobs suck. I tell all my cats thats on the streets to get a skilled/non skilled labor job. This place in ohio AK steel they pay cats 20 dollars an hour to haul metal from one side of the plant to the other.

no, he was in his early 20's. but i know what you mean. I'm like this though, unless your making that already, nothing's beneath you.

let's see 6k a month.....or 10 bucks an hour doing what i wanna do.
 
It's a lot of ideas and some that you can make great money with for the simplest things.

I swear I use to have the best ideas in the world when I was broke.

Nas song is true


Imagination is what they lack
It stops niggaz from getting stacks


That's doesn't really apply to me. At least not fully. I have a great job doing what I love and I also have my side internet ventures which bring in decent money, but I'm not gonna get rich when my main job is working for someone else.

So much knowledge, just gotta apply it.
 
Yeah imagination and motivation I been trying to motivate my 2 brothers for years dream big and you will have big things. And for the record 24's is not my idea of Big (Young cats)

what kind of math you doing ?
 
The window washing thing is cool and you can make some good money at it. When I was about 17 I started washing windows and picking up in front of stores. I made decent money for a couple days a week after school more like enough where people thought I was slinging. I actually got put out of school because the school didn't think I was making all that money honestly. Lucky for me my Mom was handling things and got me right with receipts...anyway it's a good hustle.

Things you have to know if you are going to do this is that you can use deionized water because it doesn't streak and dries quickly reducing the time you have to spend drying the corners. Also Sam's Club or Cosco is the best place to get cheap supplies. Very mild soapy water works best and make sure to keep a couple of backup scrubbers with you as they will get nasty after about four store fronts. It's not that hard to build your clients and the work is respectable and you get time to think if you are working by yourself. Rd you took me back on this one. Always a good hustle if you are not working.

:rolleyes: Wtf? How did they find out u had the money. U brought it to school or something.
 
There is no easy way to make money and become your own boss. Even in this example you're talking about working 60 hours a week for a few thousand dollars, if you lucky. Truth is there is only so much money printed and circulated. So you don't make money, you take money. If you are going to get a million dollars you got to take it from someone who already has it. You got to be a Big DOGG or a Soldier.

The good thing about our commerce system is you can choose your comfort level. If you don't like competing or conflict your can settle for that 9 to 5 and be thankful for what you got.


You can start a small business take that couple of thousand dollars and call it a day.

If you want to get rich, live in a house so big you can't see one side when you on the other, have so much money the bank calls you when they need a loan then you are going to have to go to war..You got to associate with Soldiers, make a plan and be a Big DOGG, there's no other way of doing it.

damn da don u know some of us aint math genius lol
allow me to break this down (thanks Mom for teaching me how to read math word problems)

yall da don said the cat want to do his windows for $15 a week, that would only cost da don $60 a month. he know the value of having a clean window.

the cat does about 11 shopping plazas

each plazas has an average of ten stores

so he get permission from 10 stores owners to do their windows twice a week for $15 a week.

that comes to a total of $150 PER PLAZA
11 plaza = 110 stores under your contract
now if he a hustle man

$150 per plaza x 11 = $ :dance: $1650 in crispy cash PER WEEK!
there are four weeks in a month

4 x 1650 = $6,600 a month

it doesnt take long to do a big ass window.. usually most shops has one or two big windows and the doors. it you train yourself... it would take about 10 minutes top to do a damn good job. 10 minutes per shop x 10 stores per plaza is a good hour. then if you do 11 plaza u are talking about a 11 hours per day. which isnt bad because you got to only work 2 days out of 7 days which is shure as hell better than a 5 work days.

damn that aint bad for a one person operation.. think about if you run this mofo like the drug game.... gotta get them corners dawg

lol

hell i might do it myself....cuz strokers and ayana angel becoming expensive as fuck :lol:


da don what kind of cleanser are good on windows .. you better not say windex man... lol

shyt if i fuck aroudn with this i gonna have to take a picture of my own safe with rubber band money and said da don taught me how to fish for dollars lol :dance:
 
nittie 60 hours to do 110 shops??? i disagree unless u talking skyscrapers lol

with the right tools -- i am assuming the shop owners would want the outside and inside clean.

twice a week a no brainer ... monday and thursday.

some will some wont

but it the drive that lead you to bigger things...

time may be tough but there something wrong if we dont try to make an dollar out a nickel
 
Great thread. I wonder if I can get a few cats I know that work temp services all the time and start them doing this?
 
just saw some white boys doing windows for hooters on peachtree street... i said damn... them mofo are there at least twice a week but i found out they dont have a contract.... hmmm but i heard they charging hooters $30 to their windows twice a week... keep in mind them mofo just got the basic.... so i sorta follow them and saw them mofo getting in a mofo hummer h3!! i said damn.. i hollar at them and i ask if they were hiring but he said nah but they got enough money coming in and cant take on anymore subcontractors i said word? but i ask them how much they making he said well we average between the three of us about $12,000 per month... i said what???? i was like how many stores yall got? lol he said it about 200 to 300 per month.. i was like damnnnnn

i ask them how they got into this business.. they said they are just college student at ga tech and they use the money to pay for their tutution...

I don't know the facts about window washing but I find it hard to believe anyone would pay you $30 for ten minutes work.. Not in America unless you are a CEO or a pro athlete.

nitte you must be broke and young. DON gave you a good idea and the math on how to get it done. Maybe you dont like the hustle but someone making a killin doing it. Business will pay you 30 dollars for clean windows. Once you come every week and knock it out they gonna be like cool my brother own a shop over there go clean his windows.

Nittie u remind me of Ned the wino from B-more.. Ned the wino has such a self-defeating attitude.. he would think everything is the WHITE man's fault and that he should get 40 acres and a mules... DONT FIND IT HARD because if you are skilled at something you can do what you do.

I did some research on this shyt firsthand and I was skeptical but Da Don wouldnt be schooling us if it wasnt the truth.

Lawyers make $750 an hour..


You need to start thinking outside the box...

As a business owner you are a CEO of your own business...

I gonna break it down for you...

You can make $15 to $30 a week doing ONE STORE's windows twice a week.

If you dont believe it then that is on you. I seen it firsthand and hell I am working on my 3rd contract already. I just got 2 stores easy - could got more but the damn rain messed up my plan. I rather do it in person.

I got about 108 more stores to go before I make my $13,200 a month cleaning windows. Granted nobody is going to give you a free ride but if you have a vision and mission then the rest is gravy.

it takes time to build a client's base.

It all about having a products or service that is in need.

Think about it......


And you wonder why Black folks never want to get ahead because they either scare to take risks or want to be corporate slaves for the rest of their lives.

fuck that! i rather be enjoying life on my own terms... let me ask you this

if you have to get up based on an alarm clock then you are not living life.
 
I ain't gonna lie, I thought the idea was a lil crazy, but done right it can be another stream of income. There is a reason his name is Da Don.

I've made twice that in half the time.
Just because YOU cant think of a way to do it,
doesnt mean it cant be done.

And as for all that whoo-haa about your "stores",
don't mention it if you can't back it up.

You dont have to tell us your name.
What's the name of the clothing line?

Any self respecting business man would jump at the chance to plug
his product.
I've got a platinum card, whats the name of the site?

My guess is you are a hater.
Your insults seem very familiar...kid.

He's been doing this on this board for YEARS...since before I dabbled in having my own business...he will come into a thread and drop negative comments that are totally unrelated to the topic...no Nittie chances are good no one will become a multimillionaire scrubbing windows...but $1500 for a decent amount of work is nothing to sneeze at...you never create any insightful threads just drop nagging remarks like some old stuck up hating ass gold-digging bitch that used to be cute...
 
By the way this is a great idea...I know a few friends catching their tails to make a buck...this is a good idea...I'm thinking about renting a van and buying some equipment and sending them on their way with me as a "supervisor"...

nittie.. i honestly think you dont understand a damn thing about READING.

aint nobody say shyt about $30 for 15 minute of work.. but then again i know some strippers making at least $40 for 15 minutes of work..

Anyway I am out doing it now... shyt i got some accounts.. it a nice extra part time job at the moment... I get $30 dollars for doing one store's windows twice a week. I make my own hours and shyt.

Your negativism is really uncall for, if you dont want to contribute i suggest you shut up and move on. And if you are really wealthy and shyt, I dont believe you because one wealthy people dont brag and second helpful people like Da Don help.

Seriously I could give a flying fuck if you own 50 dollars store or whatever u own.

so Ned I mean Nittie the Wino shut the hell up!!! and dance ya ass outta here with that negatism :dance:

Who's stores do you do?

And did you have to do much convincing?
 
Anyone got any tips?

I have been calling around but everyones either taken or not trying to hear me...
 
crazydawg, don't be taking all the store accounts!! I want some too!! What side of the ATL you working on so I can take the other side? :D

My only concern is that "window washing" is one of those stereotyped jobs...sort of like how some people would feel more comfortable having Mexicans cut their grass than let's say a team of Chinese dudes...I know it sounds fukked up but that's how some people think...also they may be more likely to give this job to a dude that seems out of his luck or like Deaf Dawg said to college grads "trying to scrape a buck" together...bet you they didn't show up to the job sites in their Hummer...
