📖 The Hustle
Shovel driveways, sidewalks, and walkways after snowstorms. Charge $25-50 per job depending on driveway size. Snowstorms create instant demand — post on Nextdoor the night before a storm and your phone will blow up. Bring a good shovel and ice melt. Four driveways per snow day at $35 each is $140 for a few hours of exercise. Seasonal but solid cash-in-hand.
🚀 First Step
Buy a sturdy snow shovel and a bag of ice melt, then post on Nextdoor offering snow clearing with per-driveway pricing before the next forecasted storm.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Post the night before a storm — that is when homeowners start dreading the morning shovel
- Offer a season-long flat rate for unlimited clearing to lock in recurring income all winter
- Salt the walkway after shoveling — the little extra effort prevents ice and earns five-star reviews
