Since you are on a computer while reading this article, this means you have access to a computer and you know how to use the Internet.  This is good because more and more, people are using the Internet to find help.  Go to your local job board web sites and post your domestic cleaning services.

Also, you can use your computer to create your own flyers.  Some say these flyers need to be professionally done but this depends on your budget.  Frankly, a simple flyer will suffice and all you have to do is write it on a word processor software like Microsoft Word or even free software like OpenOffice Writer.  You don’t need any special skill but just use fancy text and a couple of pictures thrown in if you like.  Next, you will also need to print the flyers.  Again, you can use your own printer if you have one or go to the local office supply store and have them printed out.  Once you have your flyers printed, you can canvass the neighborhood you would like to work by frequenting the grocery stores, hardware stores, hair dresses, salons, restaurants and other places people congregate.  Now, depending on where you live, you might also be able to deliver flyers to people’s houses.  You need to check for yourself though as some places only the mailman can put anything in the mailbox.

If you have the advertising budget, you might also consider the most obvious which is to place an ad in the newspaper offering your service.  Your ad should be eye catching enough and convey the message in as few words as possible to save yourself money.

It can be hard at first to get house cleaning jobs but once you get a few customers your client base can build in a hurry.  All you need is the first few customers to give you good recommendations to their family and friends and your business will be well on its way.  Honest, trustworthy word of mouth is the best form of advertising, and best of all, it’s free.

If you are on this site then you have the right attitude and you’re on the right track to finding a cleaning job.  This means that you are not too proud to do something that most people dislike.  Thank goodness that the majority of people do not like house work because that just means more clients and more work for you.  Let’s just say that you can make a very good living doing housekeeping work because it pays well and it’s recession proof.  There is a twist of fate in all of this because as other people work overtime or an extra two or three jobs to make ends meet, they are neglecting their household duties.  However, rather than cleaning the house themselves, they will hire someone to do it instead of saving the money.  As mentioned, that’s just more work for you.

Now, you can join a cleaning service to get house cleaning jobs or you can set up your own domestic cleaning service.  Obviously, your take home pay would be substantially higher if you worked for yourself.  However, just how do you get clients?  One way is to start with a commercial company and then later build up your clientele and before going independent.  Hopefully, your clients will go with you when you set up your own cleaning business.   You should always do a good job for your clients but also remember that in any job, it’s about networking as well.  Make sure you ask them if their friends need any household chores done as well.

In terms of advertising, there is the traditional flyers you can pass around in neighborhoods, post an ad on the local job boards or placing an ad in the local newspaper.  But, this is the age of the Internet and you are here because you do know how to operate a computer.  There are lots of house cleaning sites that are looking for help and all you have to do is look around.
