House cleaning forums.
Is there a benefit to joining house cleaning forums?
We're going to answer that question today.
Hi, there. I'm Angela Brown and this is Ask a House Cleaner.
This is a show where you get to ask a house cleaning question
and I get to help you find an answer.
Now, today's show is brought to us by housecleaning360.com
It's a 360 view of the perfect home.
So if your business goes and services homes, this is for you.
Now, we have a new feature that we just added and it's snow blowing.
Outside across the country, there's snow everywhere and it's cold outside and people don't want
to get out and shovel their own walks, so there are people, there are students, some
of them are retired, some of them are in between jobs and they've set up these business fan
pages where you can hire them and they can come blow your snow or they can shovel your
snow and clean your walks.
There's one guy that somebody hired for all the rest of the year while there's snow and
they're like, "We want to be the top of your list.
When it snows, we want you to come to our house first," and they put a retainer on
him so that he would be the first.
Awesome, I know, right?
If you offer this service, go set your business up at housecleaning360.com
All right. On to today's session, which is about house cleaning forums.
I got asked this question the other day.
What is the benefit of belonging to house cleaning forums?
Well, I am a fan of house cleaning forums for the fact that I feel that together, we
are better.
A whole bunch of people's ideas are better than one and if somebody's doing something
quicker, faster, more efficient, if they're using a different set of solutions that's
more effective, that does a better job, that's non-toxic, that's greener, that's more environmentally
friendly, teach me.
Teach me.
I don't have all the answers.
Teach me.
I don't know that anyone has all the answers.
There are as many different ways of cleaning houses as there are people and there are people
that have found ways based on their particular situation to make whatever they have work.
I know that there are particular cleaning chemicals that I've heard rave reviews about
but they don't sell them in the United States.
There are rave reviews about cleaning products we sell in the United States that we don't
sell in the UK and so there are different places
where different people have different ideas.
The benefit of forums is you get to hear all the different ideas from the different places
and then instead of claiming that somebody is right or wrong and shaming someone because
they're right or wrong, it's kind of like walking down the aisle of a grocery store.
There's a variety of different brands and a variety of different things.
You can pick and choose which ones suit you best and so as you go through the forum, if
you hear an idea or you hear a strategy or you hear somebody saying, "I would never
do that," you can analyze that and say to yourself, "Would I never do that either
for the same reasons or could I set myself apart by offering a service this house cleaner
refuses to do?"
There are different ways you can figure out how to run your business based on all the
different snippets and pieces of information that you garner.
Forums are a great place for that because there are a lot of people who want to share
their information and so I belong to a Facebook group.
Actually, there are a couple of Facebook groups and every Facebook group has its own specific
niche.
The beauty of that is this.
There's one that's just kind of a hangout group.
We just kind of chat.
We talk about our day.
We nitpick things.
We have great moments.
We share celebrations.
We share sadness.
It's like friends.
Friends hang out.
Then, there's another one that's really all about the business.
It's all about pitching your service.
When someone says, "Hey, what do you do?"
you get to pitch your service back.
I'll put links in the show notes to the different groups and I'll make an explanation of what
they are in case you decide you want to join but one is a pitching group and you get to
pitch your piece of software, your best idea, your best marketing idea.
You get to express how your business operates.
You get to explain about your team.
You get to explain why you're better than the next person.
Every day, we ask you for a different call to action so at the end of your pitch, you
need to bring us back to your website or you need to bring us back to your Facebook page
or you need to give us a business card and ask us to call you.
What that does is it's a training ground where you get to practice your pitch in front
of a house cleaning forum and now, it's actually a little bit wider.
The marketing one is a little bit wider in that we include carpet cleaners and pressure
washers and it's all of our friends from HouseCleaning360.
They come together and we all pitch our different services.
Here's the beauty of it.
As the group grows, we get to know the members of the group a little bit better.
If somebody says, "Hey, do you know anybody in New York that cleans houses?"
I'm like, "I do.
I know 43 people in New York City that I would recommend right now."
I've never worked with them so the recommendation is not based on me hiring them, it's based
on me knowing them and I know what kind of a person they are and I know how thorough
they are and I know their character because we've spent a lot of time together in these
online groups.
"Yes, let me give you the name of this guy and tell him I sent you,"
and so it's a recommendation from a friend because now,
I know this person because we spend a lot of time together.
There are people that, based on our interaction in the group,
I would not recommend at all ever.
You do.
You learn a lot about people and you learn about their characters and that happens in
online forums.
Some of the dearest friends you will ever have in the house cleaning business will come
from online forums.
One of the benefits of this is house cleaning is a solo sport.
You are cleaning all day by yourself.
You are in your own head and maybe you have a podcast that you're listening to but the
beauty of it is when you get home at night and you turn on your computer, you don't even
have to go anywhere.
You can network with a whole bunch of people that know exactly what your day was like and
they can add their two cents.
They can share ideas.
They can help you troubleshoot a problem.
They can help you through a problem with a customer.
Online forms are great especially house cleaning forums that are targeted to our specific niche.
Yes, I'm a huge fan and my recommendation is join one if you haven't already because
the opportunities that they will offer are far beyond where you're going to get on your own.
All righty, that's my two cents for today and we'll talk again soon.
Until we do, leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it.
