How many people do you know that really enjoy cleaning windows? You probably don't know very many, but someone has to do the job. Statistics show that cleaning windows can turn into a very lucrative job, especially if no one else in your town is doing it. Learn how to start your own window cleaning service.

The greatest benefit of starting this kind of service is that you can start it as a second job, or you can jump in with both feet and go full-time immediately. If you run it from your home, you won't have the extra expense of renting a building to get started.

Hard work and faithfulness are the two keys for making this type of business a success. Since you'll be your own boss, there won't be anyone making sure you do what you are supposed to do. Get up early every day, and work regardless of how you feel.

Sit down and figure out what equipment you will need. Besides the normal things you need to clean a window, don't forget a ladder. You'll need two five-gallon plastic jugs to carry water in just in case you don't have access to water where your job is. A two step stool comes in handy when you can't reach the top of the first floor windows.

Design and order your business cards. They will be the best advertising tool you can use. Give one to people who show an interest in your business. Put them in key spots around town where people will see them. Use them to write a note to any customer who isn't home when you do the job.

The best way to get customers is to canvas the area around your home. As much as possible, try to keep your jobs close to home so you don't have to waste time driving. People are more apt to hire you if they can meet you personally.

Becoming your own boss is an exciting opportunity. Work hard to establish a good group of customers. Get excited. After all you are starting your own window cleaning service.
