Brand new junk removal biz grossed $9k from June 1 - June 22nd

I was learning how to market while trying to rent websites to businesses (set up a lead generating website and sell all the leads to an exclusive partner on a monthly flat rent) and realized I wanted my hands on that blue collar service. I always wanted to run a business that genuinely helps people and the community and found that junk removal could do just that.

Making money of course is important. I want a good life just like everyone does. So here is what made our junk removal business start paying the bills in our first month of ditching W2.

  1. Verified Google Business Profile
  2. Clean website with SEO/Keywords
  3. Google search ads (pay per click)
  4. Google local service ads.
  5. Meta Ads
  6. Posting organically
  7. Begging on Facebook marketplace (actually got a good amount of jobs but is not super reliable or consistent.

I know that customer acquisition is tough but so necessary for running a business so really focus on your online presence!

    Brendon, this is exactly the kind of post that makes this community worth showing up to! $9k in your first 22 days AND you came with a breakdown of what actually worked? This is awesome. 

    The fact that you led with Google Business Profile, local service ads, and organic content over anything fancy says a lot. Just shows that new starts don't have to invest thousands of $$$ to get started. Sounds like getting the fundamentals down is key. 

    We've got quite a few junk removal business owners here who are either just starting out or trying to figure out their marketing mix, so I know this is going to land for a lot of people. Thanks for being so open about your journey!
