    That's easy... ask PaulG for his logins

    PaulG just curious... how in depth does it go in the members section? The only reason why I ask is there are a few "paid up" members who either don't look there as they have commented in the forum here that they are struggling to get clients... or is it there simply not following the advice from the members section?

    This similar topic in the member's section has about the same replies as here at the moment Simmo. Plenty of readers - not a lot of contributors.....

    I started it basically for everyone to contribute ideas for advertising and increasing work during the Winter season.

    Thanks PaulG for clarifying...


    Also, leaves fall in Autumn so promoting gutter cleaning should work well.

    Simmo.

    Yes, Simmo, I thought about adding gutter cleaning to this thread while I was doing a gutter clean today.
    Obviously you need to be confident at heights and walking around roofs, knowing where to stand & where not to, wear the right footwear, have good ladders etc. The work tends to be hard on the knees, as you are constantly squatting next to the gutter, but they can be a good earner....$80+gst seems to be a minimum.

    cheers

    Do you use safety gear. I used to do heaps (double with safety gear) and will target them again from this year BUT no double storeys and using safety gear on singles. I know I will price myself out of many jobs but that will be fine.

    For my prices you gotta visitbthe private section

    Paulg, I'm not a paid member, but im contributing to this forum through my knowledge,and past experiences
    But because I can't offered a membership does this mean I'm not entitled too some friendly advice and help???
    Last I looked I can open a thread about any topic, doesn't need to be shot down by you. This can help ppl you are legitamate who start this business using there mates gear, any extra cash they have goes on petrol for the week, I can't see why we have to tell them to become a member to access this info when of course that's the ultimate goal to become an Indy, but for some right now there facing hard times being a slow summer and rained off for a week, common give them a break let them build there business and access Free information

    I understand u want to be loyal to dean and his site, and ur trying to "do the right thing" And stop unwanted eyes looking at the forum, but We all have something in common here, WE ARE ALL TRYING TO BE SUCCESFUL,

    Greenie you just wrote all those words yourself - inferred from the very small comments I made that had no malice or anything directed to you or anyone. I didn't "shoot anyone down" and I sure as hell didn't take this thread "off-topic".

    Your words - none of mine.

    And you're not the only one who might be doing it tough at the moment; just one of many.
