There are very few of us that are not thinking of ways to earn some extra money. But most of us just think about it without ever finding a way to earn a dollar. Many times it requires that you swallow your pride and take what ever work is available. If you are the type of person that is willing to get down on your hands and knees and scrub toilet floors and bowls you can make that extra buck. There are millions of people that don’t have the time or patience for giving their toilet a good scrubbing. You must let people know that you are willing to clean their toilet. Just follow my instructions and you will get customers.
Now that you have decided to be a domestic toilet cleaner the first thing is getting supplies to do the job. A long handled brush for the toilet bowl and a flat scrub brush for the floors is standard equipment. Lots of rags and assorted detergents are also required. You must also have a shopping wagon to put the supplies in. Make up a cardboard sign with large letters reading “Toilets Cleaned” It will be your banner. Put a large metal pot and a long wooden stick in your wagon because they will serve as your drum. The next thing to do is go out and find the customers.
This woman knew that there is nothing worse than being broke and she did what she had to do. With her drum beating and her banner showing she marched slowly past rows of houses. Residents peered out their windows to see where all the noise was coming from. They saw a sight that shocked them. It was a lady wearing a bandana loudly beating on her metal pot while yelling: “Toilets Cleaned“. Soon there were people coming out to ask her what she charged. They found her price reasonable and she had more work than she could handle.
This unique way of getting business was used by a woman that was out of work and desperate for money. It took her a few years but she now is the chief executive of a professional and domestic cleaning service that employs over a hundred workers. They all wear uniforms and drive vans. On her desk there lies a large metal pot with a long wooden stick, she is ready to use it again if she ever needs an extra buck.
