Here is a simple business anyone with a van or SUV can perform: haul stuff for other people who don’t have a way to do it themselves.
You could move lawn mowers, bags of garden soil, playground equipment, Christmas trees, musical instruments, furniture, big dogs from the groomers-you get the idea.
Starting this home business is easy. Make sure your vehicle is in good shape. Be sure your car insurance is up to date. You don’t want any trouble if your vehicle should get into a fender-bender.
Now, print up flyers advertising your business. Place the flyers in furniture stores, garden centers, grocery stores, laundromats, and wherever else you can find a bulletin board. College bulletin boards are prime hunting grounds for business. Also, place ads in your local newspaper.
Once your business takes off your customers will soon be telling their friends, ‘Hey, I know a guy with a van who will haul it’. Word of mouth is a priceless form of free advertising.
How much you should charge for your service depends on what you’re hauling and how far you have to haul it. You want to keep the price reasonable, or word will spread of your high prices and your customers will go elsewhere. Reasonable prices and friendly reliable service will build your hauling service fast.
Here’s another way to put your gas-guzzler to work: Start a grocery shopping service.
