Business Idea: Address Painting for Houses

In this video, I'm going to show you seven businesses that you can start right now with zero experience, and they work really great from small towns and medium-sized cities all the way up to big cities. The best part is these will bring you in subscription fees after you complete the job once, meaning residual income for you for years to come. Derek Lions here is a great example of the first one. He makes $110 in 2 hours with just a couple of cans of spray paint and some stencils. Here's another example of what you can make with this: $300 in about 3 hours. You can see start-up costs are around $30. You want to focus on neighborhoods that don't have mailboxes. What they're doing is painting the address of the house on a curb where it's not easily marked or seen. In a lot of suburbs, if you're driving down the street, it's very hard to see the address on the house, and if there are no mailboxes, then having the address on the curb will help delivery drivers and visitors find the house easily.

Business Idea: Lawn Aeration Service

For the second business idea, let me tell you about a man from Albany, Oregon, who charges $99 for this service, and all it requires is a piece of equipment that you can easily fit in the trunk of your car. What this does is, when you roll it across someone's lawn, it punches little holes in the lawn to let air go in and really increase the health of the lawn. It's called lawn aeration. You can find a steady market for this among homeowners, golf course owners, even businesses with large front lawns, since those customers are always in need of this service. Now you can go to Home Depot and get a lawn aerator from anywhere between $30 and $100. Most homeowners do not own these, so they're not going to be able to complete the service themselves. Once you get going and if you get a lot of clients with this, you could buy a more expensive aerator that can let you get the jobs done much, much more quickly. But I'm just trying to show you how inexpensively you could start this business. Again, similar to the address painting, all you have to do is go into a neighborhood with large lawns and just knock on doors and get started. The advantage of this one is that you can offer it as a subscription service where you come back every month or every couple of months to complete the service. Then you have guaranteed clients in the future.

Business Idea: Mulch Spreading Services

Now, this third business idea requires zero equipment. This guy Sam that I'm showing you started his business from the back of his wife's car, and they grew it to over $100,000 per year. He charges $290 for this service that takes around 2 hours to complete. First, you just do a search in Google for a town near you, and then down here on the bottom you click on these little layers so that you're looking at satellite view, and then you want to zoom in and find a neighborhood with a lot of trees. The more trees, especially in the front yards, the better. You can actually see if they have trees in their front yards by dragging this little guy wherever you want to look and looking at the street view. In this specific example that I'm showing on my screen right here, do you see this little circle that is going around this tree and how it's just dirt right there? This is a great example of this service in action because what this tree needs in that little circle is mulch. Mulch helps the surface of the soil retain moisture, regulates the temperature, and increases the overall health of the soil. Like Sam, the example that I showed earlier, you're going to be offering mulch spreading services, spreading mulch around the trees in people's yards and even throughout their gardens.

Business Idea: Driveway Sealing

For number four, I want to share the story with you of Adam Chapman. He used this business idea to make over $100,000 in a single summer. The equipment is not that expensive and it can easily be paid for in just one or two jobs. It's called driveway sealing, and that's where you apply a protective asphalt sealant to driveways to protect them from the elements. It's really simple. All you have to do is clean the driveway off and then apply the sealant with a squeegee. It extends the lifespan of the driveway, and after you do a couple of driveways, you can have some amazing before and after pictures to show people that will really help sell the service.

Business Idea: Pressure Washing Services

Now, speaking of pressure washing, that leads us to number six on my list. Mike here started out with a company that offered pressure washing services. However, he started doing this next business idea and realized he can make almost as much or even more. It's extremely simple to do. With this other business idea, he charges over $3,000 per house. So that means in one day doing three homes, he made $9,000. How did he do this? By installing gutter guards inside the gutters of people's homes. There are a lot of companies that offer gutter installation, but there are not very many companies that offer gutter guard installation. These gutter guards save homeowners a ton of time and money in future years where previously, they had to climb up on the roof or hire someone to climb up on the roof to clean all the leaves and grass out of their gutters. These gutter guards eliminate all that work with just a simple installation.

Business Idea: Solar Panel Cleaning Service

Number seven on my list can be actually paired with gutter guard installation because you already have everything that you need to do it, whether it's ladders or whatever it is. Six-figure entrepreneur Spencer Claz makes $200 per hour doing this next one, and he packaged this service with some other things related to gutters and made over $1,200. Now this is an essential service that around 4.2 million homes in the United States need on a regular basis. The homeowners don't have the equipment or the know-how to do it, even though it's pretty simple to do once you see what I'm talking about. So here's a little trick for how to identify people that need this service. Just go to zillow.com in a city near you, and on home type, you want to make sure all these blue check boxes are checked and under here, you want to check the box sold.
