Hi how long did it take to get up llc
@@billyray8888 The LLC process was pretty quick. I was able to do it online easily in less than a half an hour. I did have to wait 72 hours to apply for my federal ID number after I registered for the LLC
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin OK great
I’m binging all your videos and taking notes! Very informative and definitely helping me get a sense of direction. I was aimlessly looking into everything That I need to do in my state and it’s pretty easy to get confused with all of the different start up jargon. Keep up the awesome work!
You got this! Thank you for watching =)
Wow! So informative. Well, quick and to the point, but your list really helped see what is great to get started. I'm seriously considering starting this business and you have helped a lot. Thanks.
You’re welcome 🐕💩
BBB Accreditation is huge. People look for companies with this as a sign of them being upstanding companies worth doing business with.
Hi Erica, your concise information in this video really helped me when I started my own Pet Waste Removal Business! Great video!
Thank you so much for letting me know, this is exactly why I started this channel.
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin Keep up the great work!
After my vacation in North Texas area this past summer, is when I realized that scooping poop was a thing. There was advertisement everywhere it seemed like lol! Told my oldest kid that this was going to be our side hustle. Started looking into it and came across your videos. I just want to sincerely say THANK YOU!! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge in starting up the business and what not. You are awesome!
My brother lives in Texas and YES the poop scooping industry is booming out there. He actually ran into one of our community member wile our working and they called me. It was so cool 😎
Good luck with your start up. Do you have a name yet?
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin K9 Doodie Duty. "Your dog's doodie is our duty" We live in SoCal (Inland Empire) and there is NO competition out here. I figured, "Perfect!"
Excellent information! I am trying to convince my husband that I can do this. Thanks for sharing.
You can totally do this, it doesn’t cost a lot to start up And offers lots of flexibility.
Yes Very Helpful and Thought Out Thx Erica!!!!
Thank you
Your presentation is awesome 👏 n your voice is great 👏👏👏
Thank you 🐕💩
I'm nervous about getting that 1st call from a customer and making sure I'm ready and have everything organised. But excited at the same time.
I Hope all is well with you and your family.
Kyle Smith thank you, we are taking it one day at a time. Fortunately he doesn’t see total darkness, he has some sight in the middle part of one of his eyes.
How did it go?
Thank you soo much! I’m getting one started here in Oklahoma City!
You’re welcome, good luck
I just used you as a referral for jobber!! Thank you!!
When you registered what did you register under?
I don't remember. Maybe Waste Management? Was that an option?
Nice! Thank you =) I has taken me 3 months to really het the hang of it. I guess I'm a slow learner. lol Let me know how it works out for you =)
Hi erica thankyou again for all your information it's a great help.
A customer with a massive front and back garden with 4 dogs has asked about the service. How on earth do I go about pricing that kind of job up. I'm charging £12 a yard and £1.50 extra per dog for a standard garden. But this area is huge with plenty of hiding spaces for dogs to do there duty. Thanks!!
Are they asking for a one time clean or a weekly service? How long do you think it will take you? Do you think it will take an hour? What do you want your hourly rate to be? That’s how I usually price large properties. If I think a property is going to take me an hour I charge them at minimum $60
They are in need of a one time clean and then a weekly service and I would say it would take at least an hour to complete. Would £50 per scoop per week be reasonable to ask from one customer? Would I charge them a one off clean 1st and then a weekly fee of £50? I'm thinking there would be less waste to pickup next time but it's still a large area to walk to cover ground.
Also I notice most peoples prices mainly just differ on number of dogs. Would it be a good move to charge based on type of house I.e bungalow,terrace,semi detached detached etc.
Hope your going well
Hi Erica, Great videos. Thanks for doing these. I just started a pooper scooper biz. I currently have a window cleaning business that slow during parts of the year so this should make my income more even. Handing out scooper flyers tomorrow. Can you tell me where you bought your scoop bucket (I guess that's what it's called) and the name of it if you can. I saw you are going to be creating a course on starting a scooper business. Let us know as soon as it is even partially ready. I'll buy it and put it to good use. 😀Don
Hey Don, I got mine from Lowe's.
I loved the information you shared today. Thank you as I’m in the process of starting my poop scooping business myself. I know you stated in one of your first videos that you were working full time and doing your scooping business by yourself, how did you schedule you scoops and work full time? What was your schedule like ? I also work full time and trying to figure out how to do both by myself.
Genea Sain Thank you for watching! My business started off kind of slow, for the first four or five months I only had about 12 customers or so. I would only do scoops on Mondays and Tuesdays when I first started. Then I dropped down to part time at my hospital job, working 2 10 hour shifts. I worked midnights The entire time. Sometimes I would get off from work at 7 AM and go out and do my yards. Sometimes I would go home and take a three or four hour nap then head out. Once it got to be too much that’s when I drop down to part time, then I eventually decided to transition full-time because it was becoming way too much to scoop and work midnights.
You need to have a specific day that you scoop on, you can’t be bouncing your house in between days. Customers do not like that.
Kroopin’s Poopin Scoopin thank you so much this was super......... helpful! Did you set specific times with your customers or just days?
Genea Sain I do not give specific times, as soon as I give a specific time all hell breaks loose and I’m late
Kroopin’s Poopin Scoopin ok thank you that’s what I was thinking. Your the best! Thank you!
Genea Sain you’re welcome!
Music in the background, the audio and the intro...yo girl I need some tips 🤣🤣
❤
One thing. Do you leave the trash with the customer or take it with you.
Do you get a lot of business from FB, or is it more of a “hang out” for customers? I just started today and boosted an ad. It’s getting plenty of attention, just no customers yet. Where did you get your first 10 customers? Thanks for these videos, having an outline is really helpful!
Wesley Frank I will say most of my customers Were from Facebook at the beginning. A lot of times people have to see you, see your business and get to know you before they want to invest in you. You are going to their house and scooping their dogs poop, in a weird way it’s kind of an intimate service. Just let them hang out, have fun and eventually they will start biting. Maybe they don’t, but they might tell their friend about you. Just be patient, keep posting, and every time somebody comments, try and respond back... in the beginning this is much easier, but eventually it gets a lot harder. I try to respond back within the first 20 minutes of want to post goes live. Start developing that relationship with them
Thank you!
Hows your success rate with flyers? I ask because as of next week once uniform arrives and want to get posting my 1st 5000 flyers in targeted areas if I got 5 I would be ecstatic
What type of insurance did you get and what level of deductibles do you recommend? THANKS
I have business insurance and workmen’s comp because I have employees. My deductible is $500 I believe. I have premium insurance because I want to me fully covered WHEN something happens.
State Farm is who I use in the past, but recently changed a few months ago. It’s suggested it shop insurance companies every year.
Hey ? When you started all you need was dba... did you need a sales tax I’d or a license or sellers permit ????
No sales tax, I just charge them a flat rate. As for a sellers permit, there is only one city around me that a permit is needed. I don’t go into that city
I’ve been thinking about doing this for years I am a dog breeder and this will go hand-in-hand with what I do I sell americanbullys I have puppies coming up 11/ 30/ 2021 Merle colors coming up soon
Definitely give it a shot!
Great video. Question, Is the insurance necessary? What if you want to do it on your own?
You won’t need to carry Workmen’s Comp. insurance if you are solo, but you do need to have some type of business insurance. This will cover you just in case something happens and you get sued. Enough to Cover all of your business supplies and your vehicle.
If you want to start doing corporate accounts such as parks or HOA’s many of them require a minimum insurance amount and that depends on your state.
At the end of the day you could totally operate with no insurance, no coverage, but then you have no protection when something goes wrong.
Hope this helped
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin thank you for your response. I appreciate it. When applying for a DBA, is it necessary? Also, did you guys apply as an LLC or corporation?
I did not need insurance to apply for my DBA.
I applied for my DBA first, worked for a little bit then applied for an LLC. Opened up my business bank account and got all of my business stuff set up. Insurance, phone, marketing material, Routing app, and invoicing app.
I have worked this way for about 3 years and last week I converted my LLC to an S-Corp.
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin so to make sure I'm correct, you applied for your dba first, and once you received it, you then started your scooping business? And from there, once success started coming along, you then got your LLC..am I getting that right? Would you say it was a bit risky starting the scoop business without the llc, since your personal assets were not covered? Sorry for the all questions I'm just trying to get started, you inspired me 🤣
Im getting ready to start my pet waste removal company....Are the links in this description, for the bucket, trash bags...etc, is that still the same equipment you use to this day??...I see this video is 3 years old?
All of those links are still relevant, the only difference is the trash bag. I don’t necessarily love that brand, but it will fit the bucket. I personally use a 13 gallon trash bag from Sam’s Club.
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin Awesome, thank you so much.
You’re welcome
If Kroopin’s Poopin Scooping was already taken 😅😂

Autocorrect doesn’t know how to be cool
Had to be prepared! Lol
Where did you got your LLC from ?
Where the he'll did you file for LLC for $50?? I paid $700 for a company not legal zoom as i should have but I have 1 year business advice.
Online through our state site LAURA. It took me an hour or so, but got it all set up by myself.
I had no proper business experience, but I did have a good friend help me navigate the site
Hey ! Could you please give me some advice . I’m wanting to start this business in my area, but i don’t want to start an LLC until i know I’ll have at least 10+ clients. It’s also a business im not trying to pursue my whole life. Just something to make some money for a good few years . Thanks
File for a DBA then ( Doing Business As) It should be pretty cheep and makes you ligit business. That's what I did before I filed for my llc. Look it up on TY for a full explanation between a DBA & LLC
Fr. Esp here in California where you pay $800 per year for your LLC, REGARDLESS of whether your business is making any money.
👍
question i may start a poop in my business what containers to you use to store the poop while you travel in my car
I wouldn’t suggest putting the dog poop in your car or in your trunk especially during the warm months. Your car will be so stinky. I would suggest adding a small cargo trailer onto the back of your vehicle. You will need to add a hitch to attach the cargo trailer, but totally worth it.
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin how do advertise your business i am on a shoe string budget
Facebook, business cards at gas pumps, business cards or flyers on Cork boards at local small Bussiness.
Hey 1 ? Do you need a sales tax ?
I don’t charge sales tax on top of it, everything’s just included in their flat rate price.
What about unfriendly dogs?
This is a tough one for me to answer via comment. There is a lot that goes into answering this so I'll need to make a video. The main thing is communicating with your customer so the chances of an unfriendly dog getting out is low.
This is my main concern rn as I’m planning. I literally found out about this business model today and already watched a few Cesar Millán videos haha but yeah, my goal is to not overthink it and get the basics in place and just start.
Do you charge hourly? What if you finish early?
I now pay per stop, we just started this pay model last month.
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin Thanks!
What happened to the why you started?
I can make a video on that.
What with all these services that you pay for , insurance, bbb, chamber etc........ and you say you have employees wow you must be raking in some money. Give us all hope of what kind of money can we expect 🎥📼👍
I'd defiantly be making way more if I was still a solo scooper , but I wanted to work myself out of scooping to do other things. I try to keep my expenses low, but it's hard because I'm trying to automate the business as much as I can now so when I hit 200-300 accounts things will be so smooth. Done right you can make excellent money.
And us wp jelly word press for website u will love it makes life alot easier it's simple watch a few RUclips videos
I'd have to have someone else do that for me. I know my strengths and web design isn't one of them. Thanks for the suggestion, I know I need to move that one sometime soon.
I'm the same way it does all the coding for you super easy . Maybe ya can check it out one day
Yes for insurance
What's the price for your services?
They range from $17.5 to $75 per scoop. All depends on the size of yard and number of dogs.
Larger cleans can be up to $150
My man hour rate is $60 an hour so if something takes me 30 minutes I want to at least price them at $30.
My average is 3 houses an hour: 45 minutes of scooping, 15 minutes of travel time.
Thanks

For insurance?
@@KroopinsPoopinScoopin yes it might be cheaper just trying to help and ty for video I trying to start me a poop business to lol I have lawn care business
