    About this ebook

    Like the title says, this book contains 25 Easy Ways to Easy Cash. Some business ventures may be suitable for you and some may not. However, I am sure there is something in here for you.
    If you're tired of working for somebody else, while getting a measly wage at the same time and you have been looking for a way out, then this book should be of some help to you.
    There are many books out there that show you how to invest your money to make money. But, generally these books don't show you how you could make the money in the first place.
    This book not only gives you a choice of businesses that you could do, it also shows you how to go about starting up your own business and becoming successful.

    Hilton Nugara

    I was born in Sri Lanka and later lived in West Africa for a few years with my parents. I then migrated to Australia in the early 70's with my family. After working for various companies over the following years, I then ventured into my first Business which was a Video Library, followed by a car importing business and finally into importing Noveltys, gifts and lighting affects from around the world where I was very successful. Over the years of doing business, I always wanted to write a book to show other people as well how easy it is to do their own business and be their own boss at the same time. My first book, titled" 25 Easy Ways To Easy Ca$h, is a book for people who would like to get out of the rat race and be their own boss, while improving their cash flow at the same time. In this book, it not only gives you a choice of businesses that you could do, but it also shows you how to go about starting up your own business and become successful. I have also just published my second book called "Second Time Around", this book shows you how a good relationship or marriage could sometimes go bad or turn ugly. It contains 25 real life experiences of various people who were once happily married and are now on their Second Time Around. Favorite Books Think and Grow Rich (Napolean Hill) Tycoons Alien Base (Timothy Good) Business Stripped Bare (Richard Branson)

      25 Easy Ways To Easy Cash - Hilton Nugara

      Chapter 1

      WINDOWS

      Window cleaning is a job no one wants to do, but when you really think about it there is a lot of money to be made cleaning windows, in shops, shopping centres, offices, factories, warehouses, flats, apartments, schools, child minding centres, car dealerships, hospitals, churches, buildings, homes and so on.

      Any kind of shop or office generally has windows that need to be cleaned on a regular basis. No one wants to go into a shop, which looks messy or untidy and has dirty windows. Don’t forget, most of the time people indulge in window shopping first, before they even go into the shop to buy anything.

      That’s why it is important, for any business to keep their windows clean at all times. Cleaning windows is not that hard, as long as you have the right equipment to do the job properly.

      This little business is suitable for any outgoing person; you don’t even need to have a car or a licence. Public transport, a simple push bike or scooter could easily take you to any place you want to go.

      To start a window cleaning business, all you need is:

      - 2 Plastic Buckets

      - A Bag of Rags

      - A Money Belt

      - A Window Cleaning Blade

      - A Small Spray Bottle with Glass Cleaner

      - 2x Squeegees (with extendable handles)

      - Uniform or Overalls (would give you a more professional look)

      - Magnetic, or a painted signs on your vehicle

      Carry a pen and a small note pad, to keep track of all the areas you have been to. It will also help you to keep track of the clients that need your services, on a continuous basis.

      Your next step is to design a flyer and a business card on your computer. If you’re not computer literate, then ask a family member or friend to help you. At this stage, you must decide, if you want to run under a business name, for example HARRY’S WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES, or just, WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES.

      In your flyers and business cards, clearly state what your services are, not forgetting to include your name and contact details (not your address), your cell phone number and e-mail address. A fax number might also come in handy.

      To make your advertising flyers more interesting, think of using a cliché. Here are some examples:

      1. No Windows too Small

      2. Forget the rest, ring the best

      3. For a clearer view

      4. For squeaky clean windows

      5. In a hurry, ring Harry

      6. A quality clean, because I’m Keen!

      7. Improve your outlook on life

      Once you’re satisfied, how your flyer and business card looks on the computer, make a few copies at home, or at your local copy centre, library or newsagent. Using coloured paper, with bold black lettering always helps to make your flyers and business cards stand out. I suggest, you start with about 500 flyers and business cards.

      Now that you have got your flyers and business cards ready, along with your equipment, you’re almost ready to begin. Before you venture out there, I suggest you wash your own windows at home, not only to gain some experience, but also to get familiar with your cleaning gear.

      You will now need to choose the area you are going to start in. I recommend you look in your local street directory and decide on which suburb, or area you would like to commence, you could even start at your local shopping centre, or business district if you like.

      Pick the beginning of the week to embark on your new venture, keeping in mind the earlier you get started, the more cash you will generate, by being able to do more business during that day.

      You have the choice of using public transport: e.g. Bus, Train, Tram or even your pushbike, scooter or a car. It would be a good idea to park your vehicle at your local shopping centre, or railway station and start working the businesses in that area.

      Before you enter the premises of a shop, office or warehouse, look around the building and see how many windows it has and how large they are. Calculate an approximate price you would like to offer the client, before you walk in.

      It’s always better to break down the cost to per window, rather than mentioning the overall price to your customer. For example, if the building has 15 small windows, it would be better to give them a price of $3.00 per window, rather than a total of $45.00, But, naturally, if the windows are larger, then charge the customer $1.00 or $2.00 more.

      A standard window should take you no longer than three minutes to clean and with an average of about 45 minutes to clean 15 standard windows, you would be making yourself approximately $1.00 a minute.

      Some customers may like the inside of their windows cleaned as well, if that is the case, then consider charging the customer $5.00 - $6.00 per window for cleaning both sides.

      As you enter the premises, greet your customer with a smile while offering your service. At the same time hand them your business card. Keep it short and simple, as business people are extremely busy and are always in a hurry. If you have decided on the price you are going to charge the customer, before you enter the premises, it would save you time and also make you will look more professional.

      When you have agreed on the price, find out where the nearest water tap is. Fill your bucket up with water and carry it over to the windows. Make sure, that your spray bottle has a bit of water mixed in with some window cleaning detergent as well. Spray the detergent onto the window, starting at the top, letting the water run down to the bottom of the window.

      Now using the sponge side of the squeegee run it up and down the window, to wash the glass. Then turn the squeegee over and drag the bladed side of the squeegee, down from the top of the windowpane to the bottom. You could also try working the squeegee from left to right, while working your way down as well. Do whatever you find easier to do.

      Then taking the rags out of our pocket, quickly mop up any excess water at the bottom of the window and without getting carried away, admiring yourself in the reflection, move on to the next window as quickly as possible, until all the windows are finished. As you go along, you will become more efficient, being able to clean more windows in a shorter time.

      Once you have completed your work and have been paid, offer the customer a discounted price for cleaning their windows on a regular basis. If they agree, then make a note of it in your dairy, or notebook.

      Remember, it does not matter how long it takes to cover all the businesses in that area. Always start from one side of the street and then work your way down to the end. Then, cross over to the other side and work your way back again. If you don’t finish getting to all the business on that day, then go back the next day and start from where you left off.

      When you’re satisfied, that you have covered most of the businesses in that area, take the train, tram or bus to the next stop and start again. Keep doing this until you get to the end of the line. It doesn’t matter, if it takes you 3 to 6 weeks to get to the end, by then those windows you first cleaned, would require cleaning again.

      A good aim would be between 40-50 businesses a day, on an average of $20.00 per customer, you could generate an income of $800.00 - $1,000 per day. Not bad, when you really consider the tiny outlay to get started and the fact that you are using their water too. You will also make money on tips, as most customers will let you keep the change.

      Think about offering your window cleaning services to residential homes, on the weekend as well, by going door to door, when most people are at home. As you are approaching their front door, make a note of how many windows there are to clean. Now, if the job is worth $3.00 a window and there are 6 windows, obviously, the total would be $18.00. Offer the customer a round figure of $15.00, if they make up their mind on the spot and seal the deal. If no one is at home, then leave your flyer or business card under the door or in their letter box.

      Cleaning windows is an excellent business, if you are young, old or middle aged. You could work your own hours and also choose how many days you would like to work, but whatever you do, don’t consume alcohol, or be under any prescription drugs when climbing ladders, or scaffolding.

      Taking your son to work with you during his school holidays, or even someone else on a part-time basis, would help you to clean more windows in a day. Pay them $100 a day for working with you, as you will still come out in front. If you also happen to get sick, or want to take some time off, they could still keep your business running, as dirty windows waits for no one.

      As time goes on, you might find that you have more work than you can keep up with. There is then nothing stopping you from hiring other people, to do the extra work for you. Given that you would be providing them with the jobs, they could work for you on a commission basis, on how many windows they clean on that day. Remember that extra $50 here and $100 there coming to you from others, would help you accumulate easy cash even faster.

      A good advertising sign on your vehicle would also generate more business for you.

      You could claim on all your work related travelling expenses, cleaning equipment, overalls, dry cleaning, shoes or boots and advertising costs as well and a part of your fuel and maintenance, at the end of your financial year.

      Tip: An I-pod or Walkman will also keep you

      entertained while working!

      HOUSE PARTIES

      House parties are an exciting and fun way of generating more cash, while expanding your social scene, whether you are married or single. These days if you are thinking of going out, you have to take a chance and drive, or find someone else to do the driving, if you plan to have any alcoholic drinks. Not forgetting on top of that, the cost of alcohol, fuel, entrance fees, standing in queues, overcrowded venues, the possibility of a brawl, bad weather and finally the cost of a taxi, if your car is stolen.

      Throwing a house party means you don’t have to drive anywhere, you’re in the safety and comfort of your own home, enjoying your own music, drinks and (sometimes other peoples’ drinks as well) and being in your own age group. You would also meet different people in different businesses, at your house parties, which would always come in handy, if you need to buy any goods in the future, at a cheaper or discounted price.

      If you own, or even rent a reasonably large house with a decent sized garden and your neighbours are not too close, then this might be an idea to consider. It’s a bonus, if your house is situated near the beach, with a balcony overlooking the bay or ocean. It would be even better, if your house is secluded with parking in your own garden. If not, check to see if there is any parking restriction, on
