Hello there!\nThumbs up to you for starting your own business!\n\nWhen I started my candle business my trainers told me I should include my own first name in the business name. This gives your business a very personal touch that people can relate to.\n\nAlso if you are going to be using a website, be sure to use your first name also.\n\nPeople like to feel like they are dealing with a real person.\n\nHope this helps!\nLove, Tammy\nTammy's Candle Corner\nwww.tammyscandlecorner.com\ntammy@tammyscandlecorner.com\n\n(Your Name)'s Chocolate Corner\nWe could join forces and call it:\n(Your Name)'s & Tammy's Chocolate & Candle Corner\n\nI can get candles at a good price and we have a killer Creme Brule scented candle.\n\nJust a thought :-)\n\nSuccess to you!!!

You can start by reading the article "Starting a Janitorial and Cleaning Service Business" at http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol95/janitorial.htm . The article contains information on startup strategies, operational considerations (prices, manpower, finding suppliers), and marketing the business. \n\nFrom the article, here are some tips:\n\n1. The first step to marketing your business is deciding who your potential customers are and determining the types of services you could offer. \n\n2. The best way to market this business is through cold calling. Drive through the area to look for newly opened businesses, buildings or facilities. Then introduce yourself to the landlords ­ your potential clients ­ and request for an opportunity to bid on their cleaning contract. \n\n3. Draw up a better and more professional proposal by learning firsthand the needs of the potential customer, as well as the layout of the facility (e.g. type of carpeting, etc.)\n\n4. Networking is another effective strategy to get ahead in the janitorial business. Aside from newly opened buildings, get a list of companies that are downsizing or laying off cleaning staffs.\n\n5. Word of mouth is another effective form of advertising a janitorial service. It can be generated through favorable feedback from your existing clients that will hopefully filter to other building owners or entrepreneurs in your area.\n\n6. If you decide to embark on advertising, you can try placing an ad in newspapers or trade journals in your area. \n\n7. You can also try direct mailing to potential customers, sending them information and brochures about your business.\n\nFor detailed information I suggest you read the following books:\n\n- Janitorial Service Businesses : Strategies for Promoting, Estimating, and Bidding Cleaning Services \n- The Janitorial Contractors Bible \n- Introduction to Janitorial Service Contracting : How to Succeed in Your Own Cleaning Business \n- Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor \n- Introduction to Janitorial Service Contracting : How to Succeed in Your Own Cleaning Business

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Commercial and Residential Cleaning Services: A Resource Guide to Developing and Maintaining Your Own Janitorial or Home Cleaning Business by Walter Fenix\n* Start and Run a Home Cleaning Business by Susan Bewsey\n* Start Your Own Cleaning Service (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Ups) by Jacquelyn Lynn\n* How to Start a Home-Based Housecleaning Business, 2nd (Home-Based Business Series) by Laura Jorstad\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You could go freelance and clean people's houses. Just make sure to do a good job (especially the bathroom, yeech!). Just make sure they pay cash, you can charge at least 10 dollars per room, or 50 or 60 bucks per house. You can put up ads in bulletin boards around where you live (some stores have them for free).  Lots of older people want people to clean their houses.  \n\nYou could also offer a dog walking service, but check to make sure there aren't laws or anything about that where you live.  \n\nI heard about someone who got real rich operating their own pooper scooper pick up service, you could try that too. Just make sure to do a good job, then ask them for a referral to a friend.

There are several women in my church who are in business for themselves cleaning homes and offices.  Their best advertisement is word of mouth.  I have not used their services, mainly because I don't know what they cost.  I don't like haggling or even rejecting people because their fees are too high, but it's something I definitely would like to take advantage of.  Perhaps you can offer some 'first time customer' and referral specials.  Because the person will be coming into my home, I wouldn't hire someone without a personal recommendation from someone I trust.\n\nAnd for the record, I strongly recommend NOT putting flyers on people's cars.  First of all, there are local laws that sometimes prohibit that (I know - I campaigned for one in my town).  Secondly, I get VERY annoyed when someone takes the liberty of touching my car.  That is a surefire way  to get me riled up enough to not only NOT use the services being advertised, but to make sure all my friends know how inconsiderate the business is as well.  My car is one of the prizes I've worked hard for - don't mess with it!
