Sometimes you need cash right away: emergencies come up, you’re behind on your rent, or maybe there’s a cool new item you want to buy right now. Doing yard work for friends, family, and neighbors can be a quick way to earn a few bucks. You may not get rich gardening, but you’re sure to make quick and easy money.
Everyone wants a beautiful lawn, and no matter the season, there’s always yard work to do. In the summer, you can mow the lawn. In the fall, you can rake the leaves. And in winter, of course, you can shovel the snow. There are trees, flowers and shrubs that can be planted at any time of the year and often people simply need their lawns cleaned. Trimming existing shrubbery or removing trash or debris from your lawn can also make money. All you need is a few dollars to advertise. Sending out fliers around the neighborhood and going door-to-door asking if people need yard care is a great way to start.
If you have your own lawn care tools, that’s great. If you don’t, you might say in your ads that it can only work for people who have their own tools to start with. So you could offer a low price to do your lawn. If you are fast, reliable and friendly, your clients will be sure to tell their friends about the great job you did and you may even win new clients as well as repeat business. If you are a very good salesperson and hard worker, you could even turn your quest for quick and easy money doing yard work into a complete lawn care business.
