How to Start a Cleaning Business While Working Full-Time

A repost of a step-by-step playbook for starting a cleaning business while keeping a full-time job. The thread suggests using ChatGPT to scope target cities, calling local cleaners to copy pricing, posting hiring ads, doing a test clean first, DMing your network to land the first clients, then scaling by outsourcing the work, collecting before/after photos and reviews, and eventually adding Facebook ads and more cleaners once profit reaches about $5k/month.
The main point is that the owner does not need to be on site: the cleaner does the job while the operator focuses on sales and growth.
