Default pooper scooper

For people like me who cannot afford pooper scooper service an alternative is to use a good device like the scoopergenie. I really like this product.

I think its a great idea! I have received several things in the mail with this offer, fliers on my vehicles and I have seen several decals on people vehicles advertising this service around town seems reasonable (price wise)

Go for it!

ScooperDuper: thanks for referencing Pooperoni in your post! A pooper scooper business is indeed the ideal start-up! Have a rake and shovel? Your in business! But if you have more money to invest you might consider joining one of the National franchises like Poop-911 or 1-800-Dog-Poop. Whatever you do keep in mind that it's sometimes hard work(especially Spring cleanups) and you should have good organizational skills to keep your schedule on track and your clients happy.

I've seen commercials and more and more advertisements for this type of business. Seems like its a service people are using. Good luck!

I heard that GoDaddy has a service where they'll help you setup search engine ads and advertise for your area online. Might be a good way to find out if people in your area are interested.

$10 per week....how many homes do you think you'd need to do in order to make a decent living?

If you're looking at making $5000 a month, gross, you'd need about 125 people to sign up for the service. That means you'd be visiting 25 homes per day. You'd have to visit 3.2 homes per hour for an 8 hour workday. That leaves you with 10 minutes to pick up the poo, and 10 minutes to drive to the next house.

Sounds like it might be a bit challenging to be real lucrative--'cause you've also got to calculate in wear and tear and gas for your vehicle. That's a lot of driving everyday to hit 125 homes per week!

Ha, what a question. I am curious to know if anybody is running a legitimate full time business this way. Don't worry if you don't want to point yourself out : )

I would think scoopin of the poop will always be a good business.
