How it works in practice
01

Pick one niche

Mobile car detailing is the best starting point. High ticket ($150–300 jobs), urgent timing, and most detailers have zero marketing skills. They're perfect buyers.

02

Source leads daily

Spend 30–60 minutes on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist looking for "ISO detailer" or "need my car detailed." DM 20 people a day.

03

Build a roster

Find 3–5 detailers in your city who'll pay for exclusive leads. Start with a flat per-lead fee ($30–50), scale to monthly retainers as volume grows.

Realistic math
3 deals/day × $40 profit = $3,600/month
Works for

Any service where someone needs it done now and a local business needs more customers.

You're already doing the hard part.

Finding people who need things and connecting them to people who do things. That's the whole business. The only difference from your last idea is you keep the money.
