Young Aussie earning $4,000 a week with lucrative job: ‘So much money to be made’

A Sydney man has shared how he is earning thousands of dollars a week as the owner of a cleaning business. The young Aussie shared he only started the job just over a year ago and encouraged others to “get started”.

The 21-year-old was stopped at the beach and revealed he was earning roughly between $2,000 to $4,000 a week “washing the outside of luxury properties”. He said he was inspired by American content creator Josh Lester, who has made more than $1.5 million knocking on people’s doors and asking and asking to clean their windows.

“I thought that was really cool so I tried it out and it actually worked. Got a couple of clients and then just went from there,” he told jobs platform Getahead.

He shared it usually took just a day to clean a property and he worked with two other blokes. He said he hoped to franchise the business and make it similar to Jim’s Mowing in the future.

While the young man admitted he didn’t know all the answers, he encouraged other young people wanting to start a business to just do it.

“I’m not in a position to give any advice. I don’t know any of the answers but for me starting a business, the biggest thing I would say is just go out there and get started really. The hardest thing is just starting,” he said.

“Forget about overthinking and just take one thing at a time, just start. Think about if Zuckerberg had all the issues placed on his desk at day one, he would never start.”

Aussies encouraged to ‘give it a crack’

Owning your own cleaning business can be a lucrative endeavour, with another Brisbane man sharing he was earning about $3,000 a week as the owner of a window cleaning business.

“It is very different depending on the weather. So maybe some weeks I’ll make a few thousand and other weeks a lot more than that. It really depends,” he said.

The young man said he had been running the business for a few years now and had managed to grow it through social media, advertising, and marketing his brand.

“It started off me just door-knocking with a few squeegees and brushes from Woolworths but it's now big, we’re employing people,” he said.

He encouraged people to “give it a crack” if they wanted to start their own business.

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. At the start, I was told, ‘You can’t do this, and it’s going to be hard’,” he said.

“Everyone was laughing at the fact I was cleaning windows and cleaning but there’s so much money out there to be made.”

Aussies online were impressed by the business owners, with both blokes labelled "legends".
