How to make $500 a day cleaning windows
Three free videos for total beginners. No experience, no employees, no fancy truck. I started with a belt, a bucket and a squeegee out of the trunk of my wife's car, with an eviction notice on the door. Here's how the window cleaning guy gets paid.

You've probably already seen me
Standing in a parking lot, hollering about window cleaning, sixty seconds at a time. Those videos do a job and I'm proud of them. But the job they do is inspiration. They're there to get you off the couch and make you believe a guy with a bucket and a squeegee can make real money, because I was that guy.
Inspiration isn't instruction. Nobody learns a trade in sixty seconds, and you can comb through a hundred hours of my free videos hunting for the parts that actually matter.
So before I ask you for a dime, let me hand you something practical. Three videos where I sit down and explain how this business really works: who to go after, what to charge, what gear to buy first, and the mistake that gets beginners sued.
I'm not going to pretend three videos make you a window cleaner. They won't. What they are is the first move you make if you're serious: the lay of the land from somebody who's done it.
Put your email in and video 1 is on its way. And stay on the next page when it loads. That's where I put the thing I'd actually hand a guy who's serious, at the best price I ever put on it.
What's in the three videos
Why this trade is worth your time
Cleaning in America is a $40 billion a year industry, and window cleaning is one of the few ways into it with almost nothing in your pocket. I'll show you what that looked like for me — where I started, and what changed.
Getting started, and selling jobs fast
My step-by-step system for getting going and booking work quickly — including the number one mistake I watch beginners make, the one that costs them money before they've earned any.
How to grow it into steady income
The action steps that turn a few jobs into predictable money that keeps growing week after week, instead of a good month followed by nothing.
Before you touch anybody's windows
I don't recommend anyone clean a single residential window until they understand fabrication debris and glass technology. You don't have to buy anything from me. Just get educated. People get accused of scratching glass and handed $50,000 and $60,000 claims, and one wrong answer at the door can turn a job you didn't ruin into a lawsuit you can't win.
Free with the videos: my glass scratch waiver — the pre-trip inspection sheet you walk the house with, mark every existing scratch on, and have the customer sign. Plus a printable window cleaning work order.
"I'm not the window cleaning guy"
Maybe hard times already found you. Maybe you can see them coming — hours getting cut, the industry you're in going sideways, a job you don't believe will still be there in two years. Either way it's the same question: what can you start that actually pays, with what's in your pocket today?
Window cleaning is one of the honest answers to that question. Almost nothing to start, and it pays the same week you start knocking. But it costs you something, and it isn't money. It's the first morning you're standing in a driveway with a belt and a bucket, scrubbing a stranger's glass while they watch you from the kitchen, and a piece of you is saying this isn't who I am.
Then one day your pockets are bulging with cash and it flips. Wait a second — I am the window cleaning guy. The window cleaning guy is getting paid. You want me at your house next?
