Car Wash While You Work
Pretty simple really. Arrange to be at different large business every day of the week. As people walk into work they give a key and $20 to the people washing cars. By the time lunch roles around, their car is washed and waxed.
20 cars per day makes $400 per day, $2,000 per week. Perhaps the pricing could be increased for interior cleaning. Premium pricing on that would help profitability.
One factor to consider is that winter months could hurt business.
Hmm... winter months could hurt business, but those are also times people's cars get the dirtiest. Though your schedule would be entirely dependant on the weather, I bet you could charge more and wash more cars. (People are less likely to wash their cars themselves if it's chilly.)
Good point. The winter months could actually mean more demand.
Also, I actually had a typo in there about the income. I adjusted it down to a realistic 20 hours per day and did the correct weekly profit calculation.
