House cleaning business tips- business websiteLooking for fresh house cleaning business tips? Here's one that'll really make you shine: Use your business website to help people find you quickly. Make sure your website is creating a sparkling good first impression. Clicking onto your homepage is like establishing eye contact with a stranger. Think about it. When you click onto a website for the first time, you immediately begin formulating an opinion of the person or company behind it. Put yourself in your customer's shoes. Is your website a place that offers what they're looking for? Does it invite communication? Your goal is to rank on popular search engines. Getting in front of new customers is the idea here. The website can't do all the work - you must drive customers to it first. Use its potential to turn web surfers into your new clients. Make it work every day, 24/7, even while you're out sunning yourself on the deck, sipping a tall cool one. We've got oodles of ways to help you get your website ranking. For example, put it on Google Maps. When you do, your business website will come up at the top of the page for your area. A lot of cleaning businesses might not think to do that, reasoning that it's not important that people know where their company is located. While it may indeed not be important, the real reason you should use this strategy is that your business website will rank higher.

Permalink -- click for full blog post Free Google tools for youAs you've no doubt figured out, the phrase 'working for yourself' can be a tad misleading. You may work alone or with a partner in a small operation, but in reality you work for your clients. They're your boss. When they need you, it's your duty to respond. Imagine for a second that you've got a desk job (if you're still at your desk job this won't be a big leap). The boss rings for you. You probably wouldn't ignore the call, right? Not if you value your job. Now imagine this - you're in business for yourself. Suddenly, the phone rings. What do you hear? You should hear the sound of cash drawer popping open - Cha-Ching! Every phone call, each email, and virtually all communication between you and your customers is an opportunity to grow your business. Want to know the fastest way to blow it? Don't return calls. Ignore their emails. Act as if they're concerns are less riveting than a TV rerun of Alf. Fortunately, unless you live in the wilderness or you're sailing the Atlantic, it's fairly easy to remain accessible to the folks who need you. Between cell phones, email and social networking online, your people should be able to reach out and touch you, so to speak, without wasting time. Yours or theirs. Want to save some money immediately? Take advantage of Google's free tools, beginning with basic email. Gmail, which stands for Google-mail, is the preferred Suze & Ev email program. Why? Because 1) it's free, 2) it cheerfully manages spam and 3) it allows you to organize your emails conveniently in several different ways. For example, gmail has a function that lets you keeps a running thread of conversations bundled together. It wisely offers the option to change the subject line whenever you need to. You need this because in a pack of back-and-forth emails, you may change subjects more than once. But you won't lose the overall thread, and important contact info won't be buried in a blizzard of Working for your customer gets easier when you keep the communication lines open. Google tools can open those lines, and in addition, help you get and stay organized. Watch this column for more Google tool helpful hints. Flyers drive new customers to youFunneling money into projects gets people working. Working people can afford to buy goods and services, which keeps people working. Can you stimulate your cleaning business using the same principle? Yes. Do it with flyers. Why bother? Because it's hands-down the fastest, most direct and inexpensive way to a paycheck we've ever found. When flyering is a central part of your overall marketing approach, it can be the ticket to your very own small business stimulus package. However, lately we've noticed a problem. Many first-time entrepreneurs invest in a business web site, then sit back and expect the web site to do their work for them. The good news is that a well-designed web presence will help lend your business legitimacy in your customers' view. It offers them a place where they can check out your business and decide whether they want to hire you. A good web site will definitely bring you business in the long-term, but it's a slower way to get results. The bad news? A web site can't replace flyering. It's not supposed to. Your best marketing strategy is a strong one-two punch: A flyer with your web site address on it. (Actually, this is only "bad news" for lazy entrepreneurs, and that's not you, if you've bothered to read this far!) A flyer is like a handshake. A web site is like a conversation. Introduce your cleaning business with a flyer that directs your potential customer to your web site. Then encourage them to start the conversation through an easy-to-access contact form. Make a good first impression. It will only happen once. Whenever a potential customer picks up your flyer, goes to your web site or shakes your hand, they're formulating an opinion of you. It takes only a few seconds. Remember, we're continually creating an impression on the people around us. Take the time to craft your company image. Follow through with this overall image when designing your web site, business cards and flyers. The government stimulus package is designed to revive the slacking economy. Funnel a portion of your marketing budget into a well-designed flyer and watch your cleaning business snap to life. Planners and FirefightersThe other night as we were casually hanging out with visiting family, I glanced over to see what Ev was up to. He was quietly studying a pad of paper on the table in front of him, thoughtfully tapping a finger to his chin. Uh-oh, I said to my brother. Whenever Ev buys a new pad of grid paper, I know my life is about to change. Ev is a planner. He's a master at creating efficient systems. At first, though, they look like hieroglyphics. His pages of doodles are impressive - he draws late into the night highlighting with yellow, blue and pink. I take the firefighter approach, dousing flames wherever they happen to flare up. When we go out, I'm usually dashing around trying to find my keys, purse, sunglasses, whereas Ev can be found waiting by the front door. Sometimes I try his method, which feels virtuous though foreign. I secretly crave more organization and order in my life and business. No one but me is going to achieve it, so whenever I spend a morning (or even ten minutes) filing a stack of receipts or updating my books, I swear I feel inner peace and tranquility. In our cleaning business methods we include a truckload of tools for helping organize, so you can feel the love too. Sometimes Ev takes my approach and loses track of his wallet. I can't say I really enjoy seeing him frantically running around searching everywhere till he finds it (nope, it's not in the fridge!). However, there's a certain satisfaction at watching him handle an unexpected twist on the fly. Are you a planner or a firefighter? Integrating both methods seems like a sane idea. I plan to work on it, as soon as I can find my notebook. It's around here somewhere. Vacation, not recession, for Jenny's clientsA friend of mine, Jenny, wanted to put herself through chef school. She needed to make some good money to cover tuition. She loves gardening and thought about doing landscaping, but needed a truck. She had asked me a ton of questions about house cleaning for a living, and I think she was intrigued because of the free time I always seem to have. She decided to give a whirl. Since she started cleaning houses, she has targeted only wealthy neighborhoods and has always had steady work. She recently received her chef's certificate, and while she decides what her next move will be, she's still dependent on her cleaning biz to pay the rent. Last week, two different clients left messages requesting that she return their calls a.s.a.p. Worried that the recession had finally trickled up to both of them, she tried to prepare herself to lose two good jobs at once. Instead, her fear turned to relief when she discovered that the reason they were both calling was to tell her that they were going to Europe on vacation -- two different clients at the same time. Apparently these people aren't being affected by the recession. They wanted to know they could count on her to clean while they were away in Italy and France -- and one of them offered her the job of house-sitting for ten days. Here she was freaking out that she'd be losing income while she's in transition, and in reality, her clients are worried about losing her! Although for the past year-and-a-half, the U.S. has been mired in the worst recession in fifty years, cleaning businesses run by people who target the right market are still going strong. In our books and on our website, we claim that cleaning is a recession-proof small business. I loved hearing Jenny's story because it's definite proof of that. The trick is in knowing just how to land those steady clients, and how to gain access to the upper-crust communities where the steady flow of work is. Jenny followed our advice, and now she's wishing that I would write an eBook about how to start a restaurant.

March and April have been much stronger, April was the strongest month in 9 years! But here's the thing, you want to get your cleaning business ready now, not after everyone agrees the recession is over. People argued whether there was a recession happening at all for over one year. Now, in hindsight, it is clear that it started in October of 2007. Will it be clear in April of 2010 that this was the beginning of the recovery? When the momentum starts to build (and I believe it will) you want to have all of the business requirements and your first jobs in the can, so you can focus on taking advantage of the up swing in the economy.

The last time we launched a new cleaning business in California, we had disaster after disaster for about 2 weeks and then it just started to flow. I had a similar thing happen in New Mexico as well. In Colorado, it went smooth after the first job, so go figure! Basically, in the first month, there are going to be a lot of challenges, but then you will settle into a set clientele and a system for running your operation. The last time we launched in Cali. it was rough at first, but after we had a set group a clientele it went smooth for the next few years, very smoothly. The worst thing you can do is over re-act to the initial challenges and assume it will always be that challenging, it will not, once you are in the flow and once you gain confidence. Anything worth doing is going to be a challenge! Permalink -- click for full blog post Q & A with EvHi Charles, I had the same concern when I started, it seemed like there were cleaning companies all over the place. I quickly realized that was a trick of perceived scale, you only need a dozen accounts as a solo cleaner and a few dozen as a full blown cleaning service with crews to make a good living. Also keep in mind, the demand is increasing far more than the supply. This will continue to be as the boomer generation gets older. The other thing I learned is, most cleaners are not very good or professional, so I quickly landed clients switching over to me from already established cleaners. In fact in this economy, there is a shortage of cleaners for the wealthy and that is who you should be targeting if you want to have security and a nice profit. There was a boom in the middle class cleaning market starting in the late 90s, but that is returning to pre-boom levels. You want to target those that make over 75K a year.

I started my second during the dot com crash and I'm starting another type of business right now! I love recessions! We have hundreds of Suze & Ev Method clients that are doing very well with their new businesses because they used our method that recession proofed their cleaning business from the get go. Right now, some cleaning businesses are going belly up, not because we are in a recession/ depression, but because they didn't really know how to run a cleaning business anyway and when it got tight and the credit dried up so did their business. If all of your clients were middle class living high on easy (and stupid) credit, then when your clients reality went poof, so did your cleaning jobs. I guarantee you, that there is a cleaner shortage right about now, especially since the rich didn't stop having their house and office cleaned because of a drop in their long time investments, but their house cleaner just disappeared because they are in bankruptcy.

If you have cleaning crews you can even continue to earn money while on vacation. Even if your just a small one person cleaning service operation you can squish your jobs on either side of your trip to keep your income the same while away. I did this allot the first few years, I would clean two jobs a day two days before and two days after I got back. This way I could plan 5 day trips with less than two weeks notice. The nicest part is of you just want to take a day off because a friend dropped in town, it's easy to just call and reschedule. No guilt, no hassle, no upset co-workers.

Don't let all the hype and fear-mongering about a so-called recession stop you from taking action. Sure, this economic slide is a big deal to millionaires and billionaires. However, the real reason it may be tight for you is mainly due to your JOB (Just Over Broke). JOBs aren't keeping pace. I doubt they will anytime soon. Think about it. What is a typical pay raise in one year? 4%, 6%, 8%? And your gas and food bills are doubling? Entrepreneurs know that with the same effort you pour into getting that promotion or raise, you can double the profits of your own cleaning business -- within the same year's time frame. You must be self-disciplined. You must have a whole lotta faith, but that is why we are here! Let us help you get started -- and help keep you rockin' -- on your way to self-employment and self-empowerment. Start a cleaning business part-time, and keep your regular JOB.

Good fortune,Ev Permalink -- click for full blog post Starting a cleaning business the recession proof waystarting a cleaning business can be recession proof. In a recession the businesses that usually tend to fair the best are the one's dealing with necessity. Now you may think a house cleaner is not a necessity for most home owners and you would be right. But when starting a cleaning business you should not be catering to the average home owner. Unless you prefer to increase the risk factor and failure potential of your new business to make it more exciting. One mistake newbies make when starting a cleaning business is worrying about reaching the most people (span perception) instead of reaching the right client for your stated goals (depth perception). Depth perception is a much smarter focus when starting a cleaning business because you can only physically clean so many house in a given time frame. SO make them really good clients, not average clients. What is a good client? Well, if financial security is your goal and you want to cruise through a recession like nothing happened, then a rich client is the best client! Don't assume that all people get frequent cleanings because they are obsessed with cleanliness either, rich people get frequent cleanings for an entirely different reason. Can you guess what it is? So your time will be much better served by finding the perfect clients, that will pay you well, pay you often, not be effected by economic ups and downs and spread the word to their clan through their well protected networks. Impress one wealthy client with your work and you will get two more within a month. It happens like clockwork. Why? More on the next time. Do not start your cleaning business from the notion that you are doing this only to serve your fellow man. you are doing it to become a success too. Do not give into low self esteem planning. Listen, there are plenty of cleaners out there working for $10 an hour and feeling like they are doing the right thing and more power to them, but if you want to be a success with your business and have financial security, well that is a different game and you better learn the rules so you can win it!
