do you think these window cleaners just think one day....."ive had enough of this!"....and just pack it in or could it be their missus threatening to divorce them for spending too much time filming instead of working/spending time with the family!
price higher/work harder!

A lot of window cleaners go into the YouTube scene thinking they’ll earn some decent Wonga.

Perhaps reality kicks in and they realise it takes too much time; and earns you about 20p.

There just isn’t a big enough audience for it.

Still doesn’t explain why he deleted the existing videos though, I mean, you might as well leave them up, surely?

Yeah you get sent a squeegee or a pole for hours and hours of video editing fair play to the guys that do it to help others though.

They might’ve realised they are helping set up the competition!

I think its great that window cleaners show videos of their set ups etc. and give tips and so on.
I'd do the same if I had time,I like watching them in the evening though.

I've always wondered who watches these videos.

I could think of nothing worse.

I ran a YouTube channel back in 2017 for personal hobby of mine, and within 3 months i had 20k subscribers and 1 million views.  I got featured in several big channels that now have millions of subscribers.  Some of my viewers would do design work for free for me as they were fans of the channel.  The channel had alot of potential and could of one day grown into something that may if i was lucky make alot alot of money.  All i would of needed is a few brand deals with sponsors and your talking making a few £1000 per video.

The problem was, it was taking up 3+ hours of time EVERY DAY of the week.  Plus weekends i spent 6+ hours per day running the channel.  It literally was a full time job, but with 0 pay.  It took all my energy, and my window cleaning business actually suffered that year badly.  It was great fun, but i realised YouTube takes up so much time, you need to be able to consistently keep it up, otherwise you end up burning out.

I burned out from YouTube in 6 months, and ever since then ive never been able to get my heart back into it.  I was focused my time now on my actual businesses or in my personal life just taking time for myself.

I can see why Dan stopped it.  It takes alot of time and energy and initially very little financial reward.  YouTube is basically a full time job if you want to do it properly.

You should have a look at some of his more recent Google reviews!😬
He tells a customer that he doesn't care because he's the biggest window cleaning company in the UK!!😄🙄

Actually thats not what I said to her.

I see it doesnt get any better on here with the haters.  Not that it matters to me, its just a shame.

Lee is there any chance Dan or yourself could atleast re upload the video you made?  It was so useful and helpful.  Seems a shame it was taken down, how do you feel about this?

By the sound of it, you said quite a lot. According to the review, you wouldn't shut up talking.
This is just part of it, sounds like a pretty accurate assessment from my experience of you on here!😬

"When I corrected him, he then began to speak down to me. Every time I attempted to speak, I was spoken over. Twice I asked if I could speak, and both times told there was nothing to say - only for him to go on another rant! When challenged on his rudeness and the negative reviews that comment on his rudeness, he stated that he didn't care as they are the biggest company in the UK. I stated at one point that he didn't know whether there was anything to say as he was not me, but he simply continued his own arrogant tirade. There is no right to speak with Lee Pryor - just the Lee Pryor show."

What you found as you say yourself “useful “ is someone telling you step by step on how they’ve got a business albeit window cleaning or any other business  for that matter to the level it’s at,that video showed nothing useful if you can remember a small part of the video but it’s probably the most important part for him is that you can pay him for him to tell you 🤣🤣.
Dan comes across as a lovely bloke I’m saying nothing else but watching that video I look at Dan and say bless him,you get a warm feeling like watching a young innocent boy ride his bike for the first time lol. A video like that means nothing without numbers and true numbers and if it’s worth even trying to get to 10 vans after costs,like I say be interesting to see money on the hip after each month not the turnover because a lot of sizeable businesses run at break even or a bimonthly loss.

Jesus Lee I won’t tell you what my in laws do m8 but I’m just a little old window cleaner and I like it that way that’s my choice,let me just tell you though my sister in-law has 3000 staff m8 so I’m not going to be hating or jealous of you anytime soon not today tomorrow or next week.
If you want an appointment to get advise on how to build a big business I might be able to sort something out,hate and jealous 🤣 no Lee you won’t get any of that from me pal.

You guys really should put more of your time into your own businesses, instead of hating on someone you dont know and have never met on a forum, like cowards from behind your keyboards.  I really couldnt care less what anyone on here thinks of me or my business. Your hate simply drives me harder forward. We went past £1.2million today. What did you achieve? F all I expect. Our goal of £2million is 18 months away. I suppose when we get there the morons on here will still be telling me Im wrong.

You need to put more time into your customer service!😄
You've put the hate card out twice now and no wee soldiers have turned up to lick your bum hole.... it must be killing you.😋

You were supposed to have left this place, and you don't care what others think..... but you're still here?🤔
Anyhow, good luck with yourself.👍

It's obvious he only used YouTube to pay or get sponsored to get equipment for work..  spinacleans £1500 industrial vac and camera kit, nice discount at pure freedom for free publicity of hot water systems and reels, v16 pump controllers, carbon poles etc... that's why he's vanished, his business is fully kitted out! Nothing to do with 3 kids, 3 dogs, a wife, works fulltime yet sets off on a YouTube journey.. hmmmm.. (even his mrs has a channel so cant use that one) fair play for shrewdness but those companies he forged sponsorships with must be quite let down...
