Short YouTube advice by Mike Andes on getting customers for a home-service business without spending money. He recommends (1) asking satisfied people for referrals by doing a free or trial service and then requesting neighbor introductions; (2) rapidly collecting at least 30 positive Google reviews to improve search ranking and attract organic traffic; and (3) using a free initial service as an opportunity to upsell additional paid services (he mentions identifying about five additional jobs on a property) and retain customers long-term via a contact database.

How do I get customers if I don't have money? First off, we can ask for a referral. In other words, If I do Mr. Jones house over there for free, his first lawn mowing service or a bush trimming, or I pull some weeds or do a fertilization for him, I just simply afterwards ask him, hey, what about Miss Sally over there? Or what about Mr. Junior over there? Another thing is I want to be able to get at least 30 Google reviews as fast as possible. Because if I can get good Google reviews, I'll be able to rank well on Google and people find my website and I won't have to pay any money in marketing because they'll just rank better on Google. Now the third way that you can actually get someone to pay you without giving you any money is for an upsell. And an upsell is essentially this. I'm going to give you something for free, but I'm going to notice five other things on your property that I could do for you. And I'm going to upsell them to you. Because once I got them as a contact inside of my database instead of a CRM like copilot, I can upsell them over and over and over again and turn what was a free customer into a lifelong customer. Over the course of the next several years.
