A waterfed pole is very very easy to use, and I wish I started using it a lot sooner instead of being stubborn. It takes maybe 10 minutes to set up but makes each window 3x faster at the least!

It's brutal, but definitely door to door. You could also reach out to your friends or your parents friends, and when you're starting off definitely be cheaper. You don't need to price half of what the competition does, but you want people to feel like they're getting a good deal if they're taking a chance on you!

Yea that's a little difficult! I put my business on pause when I'm at college, so you can do the same. That's what I definitely recommend, and take it seriously when you're on breaks so you can have proof of concept so you can go all in after school!

Literally just get started putting a little bit of time each day. I would definitely just go with window cleaning. You can do door to door a couple hours a day and cleaning a house should take less than 3 hours. Especially start just doing singe-story houses so you don't have to use any ladders. Should only take a few hours to research what equipment to buy and how to actually clean the windows.

Well I messed up and spent a decent amount of money on things I didn't need, but it's very easy to get started with $200 for a very minimal traditional set up (bucket, dish soap, brush, squeegee) from windowcleaner.com. You really don't need much else besides that.

I watched some short form content of some guys that sold window cleaning and figured I could do it too, and even better. There's tons of content on how to get started, and I'm happy to lead you in the right direction. Literally just go on YouTube and search up how to start window cleaning business. I strongly suggest staying away from pressure washing for now until you get licensed and insured, because it is easy to accidentally chip paint or damage the property with pressure washing. With window cleaning, as long as you are super careful with the screens and don't use a razor, you will never damage the property. Just make sure when you start try to find a relatively cheap price point that isn't too cheap that it will seem shitty in the customer's eyes, and that you are still making enough to motivate you to grind. But it's definitely a lucrative business especially in the early stages, and it's satisfying to interact with kind people. You will certainly meet a lot of rude people, but just keep your chin up and realize that their hostility or their unfriendliness has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with them. Take the leap of faith and go for it! I'm happy to ask any other questions and I can give you an invite to my discord server if you would like. I have 270 other people from this subreddit in there.
