Other ideas to make a living
« on: October 20, 2009, 10:28:12 am »
Was just wandering any of you do other small busineses while still running a w/c round excluding the add on stuff i.e
gutters fascias driveways., carpet cleaning. Reason i'm asking may get a guy to run my round and build up a pat testing or Handyman business
plus on another post ive done would give my neck a good rest. mind you its not that easy to find anything to match w/c income
has anybody made money from other business ventures.but not giving up w/c

Weve just took delivery of a 3000 watt vac.  We are planning to use it on gutters
and high level cleaning ie; exposed steel work in bakeries and laundries etc.
Anyone else doing this work?

I think there's a surprising number of WC's who have another business in the background. I build websites, perfect for rainy days & dark evenings.

 I run an internet business selling stuff on e-bay. Its growing well but its a steep learning curve. Eventually it will displace the window cleaning, I hope, because in this business we are always vunerable to the bad back or like my friends got, a frozen shoulder.

Got a cycle hire/baggage transfer business and a couple of holiday cottages which keeps the money coming in.

Possibly looking into buying another tourism based business but that's still under wraps at the moment.
