As time progressed, however, he realized he could make more money if he were to start a home service business of his own. He’s now generating over $200K in monthly revenue by entering the dog waste removal industry. Will discovered the niche business idea of waste scooping after watching YouTube videos that circled around the concept. With over 65 million households owning dogs in the U.S., he saw it as a profitable opportunity to enter into a business with little competition and high growth potential. He first targeted larger cities, such as Seattle. He sets up yearly contracts with each dog owner to remove the waste in their yard—with some contracts ranging from $20-30K annually. With the help of tailored marketing resources, his number of weekly clients quickly snowballed to over 2,000. In this episode, learn how to harness the power of Meta ads, Google, and word of mouth to grow and scale a small business. Will also explains how he set up the business to be self-sufficient enough to run on its own even if he goes traveling for over six months. Start your own poop scooping business.
