Hello i'm trying to start my business and getting the word out there but i don't have the money to do so, i live in the houston area and would appreciate the tips and help in getting it out there, can someone help me understand how i can start with this dream i want to make true.
Congrats on trying to make your dream come true! Try letting your close network know what you are trying to do and ask them to refer you if anyone needs this type of service. Also, seak out some smaller renovation companies and see if you can strike up a partnership. Do door knockers.
Social media is going to be key for you, my brother no matter how far if you have a truck in the trailer go make the trips. Find you a local dump. Get a relationship built and you’re off to the races.
Create an email about your services and include Photos, Information of what you offer and a reason to give you a call. I seriously recommend using AI to help you learn how to advertise using social media, local websites, landlords who need clean out business and local contractors who need dump services. Start Small! Grow Large! You Got This.
Great advice — starting small and staying focused really does make a difference. I followed a similar approach by keeping messaging simple and clear around what I offer, which helped people understand when to reach out.
Starting with little money is hard, but many successful businesses begin exactly that way. Focus on serving a clear local need, use free community channels, and stay consistent — momentum builds faster than you expect when you keep showing up.
Grind it out my friend! Don't give up! Once you get yourself going you will feel so amazing. If you have identified that there is a need for your services in your area, you will succeed. Explore all options, get creative, get some cards to hand out.
1.) google business profile(free) 2.) business social media pages 3.) website, make it yourself and save some money
make a post from your personal account letting all of your friends and family know that you're open for business (you'll get some jobs here, do the jobs, take photos, and ASK for a google review). Add those photos you took to the google page and social media page. Once you've got $150 go get some vinyl decals made for your truck (look better than magnets, and for that little money, it'll make you stand out and payoff in the years to come). Yard signs, keep them short and sweet (business name, phone number and short tag line, think "Junk Removal") I've got a short youtube video on this same topic I can send you if you want, I'm in lawncare/landscaping industry but grassroots marketing is going to be the same for all of us.
