    I’ve been running my pressure cleaning business for a bit over a year now and been getting probably about 95% of my leads from facebook group posts. I highly recommend writing down a list of facebook groups near your area that you post in every 2-4 weeks or so. Don’t want to post in them too often because it becomes a bit spammy but yeah it’s definitely a good tool to get free leads and scale beyond just door knocking and word of mouth.

    This is the first video I've watched from you, so I don't know if you've seen other channels filming content and providing free washings because it's used as marketing. SB Pressure Washing (he also has a mowing channel), if you haven't seen the videos. He might give you some tips, seems like a nice guy.

    15.3% for social security and my federal is 12% so I use 30% for all taxes. Youll be short if your saving for only ss tax. Driveway should be right as so long as I charge per retention lines squaring around $29 per sq. Good luck and keep up the work!

      15% of total gross is good. 15% of gross typically ends up being around 25-30% of net in this business.

    • @HartBoysPowerWashing
      @HartBoysPowerWashing 8 месяцев назад

      30% net but you’ll get a lot of that reduced down with a crap ton of write offs over the course of the year I imagine. Especially starting off you’ll be able to report such a small revenue profit that taxes after all your business expense write offs should even potentially be in the single digits % wise

      I personally think being in my second month of business that these $1,000+ jobs are really big to me even if I took me 9 hours that day to do it, it’s worth it to me because I don’t have enough jobs coming in to where I’d make that if I didn’t get that job you know.

      @@Jacobjordanpressurewashing the real problem with deep discounts, like $100+, is that the customer may view you as trying to put one over on them for charging let’s say $1200 and then offering to do it for $950 or so… first month in business and sounds like you’re on the right path at least
