@mariusk I’m working on a cleaning company! I’m targeting apartment complexes in Peoria, IL and in the Chicagoland area. I’d like to secure $200 weekly profit from 10 apartment complexes, and struggling with EXECUTING! My self sabotage game is strong, and I’m in a battle for my LIFE! I would sincerely appreciate a phone call with you!

My web address is www.bubblerosecleaning.com

@lizlovesalotofthings How did you build your site?

 

[astroqualia]

@inhisarms17 You can click Ctrl+u and view the code. Should be easy to find the builder after that.

 

[mihailolt]

@astroqualia I personally use the 'built with' chrome extension - it's really useful!

 

[alyvia]

@inhisarms17 Just a guess - but it looks like Wix to me.

 

[613jono]

@alyvia It's a shopify site, oddly enough.

 

[lizlovesalotofthings]

@613jono Why oddly enough? Do you think it looks like a Wix site? Are Shopify sites usually set up differently?

 

[613jono]

@lizlovesalotofthings Shopify sites are usually built for ecommerce stores or people selling a product and need the checkout/cart system among other things. It looks fine, it's just an odd choice. It likely won't hurt you in any way.

 

[lizlovesalotofthings]

@613jono Nice. Thanks

 

[lizlovesalotofthings]

@inhisarms17 Yep! Shopify! I used one of their free templates

 

[salwaite]

@lizlovesalotofthings Can you tell me about the plugins you have?

 

[lizlovesalotofthings]

@salwaite Totally! I made the form on the homepage on JotForm (if it’s still up), I used a free template from the Shopify store. For scheduling, I use Square (free), that donation part was included in the Shopify template.

Please forgive me, I have literally no idea what a plug-in is. Are those the things you were talking about?

 

[salwaite]

@lizlovesalotofthings Lol that’s ok, this gave me some information, I appreciate it. Think that is all the plugins. Do you like Shopify for your service? Did you have someone make your site?

@mariusk Taco Truck

All Wisconsin Ingredients

Sauce competition instead of including for co-marketing opportunities.

Issuing a online token that can be redeemed for tacos.

Organic porta potty composters that we use to collect shit for fertilizer.

I think that makes it technically a local business and a shit coin at the same time. -_-

@mariusk Expanding, Expansion and managing explosive growth

Right now I’m balancing cash flow to remove as much cash as I can to buy equipment. I’m trying to extract about $125k over the next month and half to Triple our capacity.

I have clientele and suppliers already lined up and working through the eternity that is waiting for cash to pile up.

No website, as we are a commodity business.

I do have
www.novo-organics.com and www.novo-Labs.com

 

[petergntm]

@astroqualia That’s awesome! I’m working as a rep at a cbd company right now and this industry is popping, you hit it good with novo, good job!

 

[somedayiwill]

@astroqualia Is the cbd market not saturated? Genuinly curious seems as thought theres 5 new brands popping up every day

@mariusk I started a Window Cleaning Business in Indiana Part Time in late July / Early August. I did $1500 in revenue last month, spending the last half actually getting off my butt and selling. www.onealwc.com barely a website, needs a lot of work. My town is small and I am ranked 1 on Google for my town. Goal is to go fulltime next year.

 

[613jono]

@rh23986 Congrats on being ranked first in your town! I would definitely recommend redoing the site to increase the conversions.
