Money Making Activities
If you’re running a junk removal business, one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is: Does my time make me money?
On slow days, it’s tempting to just scroll through emails or hope new jobs magically appear. Spoiler alert—they won’t. Instead, you should focus on what I like to call money-making activities—tasks that directly generate business and revenue.
Here are a few high-impact ways to spend your time wisely:
- Cold Call Realtors and Property Managers
These professionals have a consistent need for junk removal services. By reaching out, you can establish relationships that lead to recurring work and long-term clients.
- Post Before-and-After Photos on Google My Business
Show off your work! Posting before-and-after photos not only demonstrates your capabilities but also improves your search engine rankings. Higher visibility on Google means more traffic—and more potential jobs.
- Follow Up with Previous Customers
Reach out to past clients via text or phone. Remind them of your services and offer a small promotion or discount. A simple nudge can lead to repeat business faster than you think.
- Visit Local Businesses
Take advantage of downtime by visiting local businesses you want to work with—real estate offices, property management companies, storage facilities, and more. A quick handshake, a few business cards, and a personal introduction can turn into valuable relationships and future clean-out jobs.
The key is to spend your time actively growing your business, not waiting for opportunities to fall into your lap.
Focus on these money-making activities consistently, and you’ll start seeing results. Stop hoping, start doing, and watch your junk removal business thrive.

Slow days don’t have to mean lost income—they’re an opportunity to create it. When you focus your time on activities that directly lead to jobs, like outreach, follow-ups, and visibility, you take control of your growth instead of waiting on it. The businesses that win are the ones that stay proactive, even when things are quiet. Spend your time on actions that make you money, stay consistent, and the results will compound.
