I’ve been doing lawn on the side for just a few people the past few years but this is my first summer as an actual business...I just ordered 500 cards today and as soon as I saw the magnetic idea from this video,I went back to vista print and made a design and ordered 50!great content and great help

[@Waterbottlewithagun]

How do I get someone to stop leaving business cards for their lawn care service every day I have told them stop every day I at this point just sit by the window waiting to tell at him get gone and I'm tired of it what should I do

[@Zach-sg5uu]

@@Waterbottlewithagun Call the police for trespassing if they keep coming back.

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

I love the fact that you spend quality time with the kids. Taking a break from YT is a good thing.

[@DansVlog]

Thank you!

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Glad to see you putting out a new video Dan! Our starting price is a flat monthly rate of $100 "Mar - Nov" We service once a month in the winter, twice a month in spring and fall and weekly in the summer months. This form of billing and scheduling has worked well for us over the years.

[@DansVlog]

That sounds great! Thank you for the positive reinforcement!

[@tanyaanderson1341]

Very Helpful!

[@DansVlog]

Great! Best of luck

[@carlproctor9706]

So ready for the side hustle push mowing lawn service. I'm a trucker myself and work from 4 till 2. Coraline from your videos brother and try to start my own side Hustle

[@DansVlog]

I know, I am sick of sitting all day. I need some lawns to mow and some sun to wreck me

[@leslieclaire]

Glad you are back and everything is good for you and your family! 🤗

[@DansVlog]

Thank you LC!

[@climbthatmountain]

I've had a dad, a brother, and 3 uncles in the military. The cutting side is a family business, and all service members are getting a discount. (needless to say no hassles about stationing ect., and maybe some free moving help, if I see their wife carrying anything...haters are going to hate) That's our policy going forward a generation now. Thank you also, for your service Dan! If anyone hassles you for being kind to freedom fighters, that's just a strange personal issue on their part. Awesome marketing advice! I've redone my business cards (signage, and other items also) to be simpler, easier to read, and more effective...based on this, and other advice you've given in the past. Thank you for showing us the way brother!

[@0Myles0]

Nice one again, sir. This is game time. Happy mowing everyone!

[@DansVlog]

Thank you. Game time is happening real soon!

[@BillyGoatLawnService]

Dan, amazing the amount of subscribers you have. I have been a fan of yours for years! I feel most of your newer viewers don’t completely understand what “Side Hustle” means? I remember when you cut 100 yards straight with just a push mower! That is flat out “Hustling”. This is my second season pushing monthly budget billing (12 payments). I like it so far, especially over the winter months.

[@DansVlog]

Oh yeah! You’ve been with me for a long time… I really appreciate your support. We did those 100 yards with the Troy Bilt lol

[@jeanalexandre1105]

I like this free refrigerator magnet. It just happened to have words on it

[@DansVlog]

Exactly right!

[@inthelawn3241]

This was a great video with some very valuable advice! Thanks a ton dude!!! i'm starting my lawn care business and want to transition into full time.

[@DansVlog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Takuplumbing]

Get r done. Keep up the hard work brother.

[@Zach-sg5uu]

That’s right! The back of business cards are just free notecards!😂

[@LilybetMells]

Welcome back Dan!! Missed your posts so much xx PS I would love one of your fridge magnets lol

[@DansVlog]

Thank you Lilybet! I have been itching to post a video but knew I needed the break!

[@stephaniestewart9396]

Yay you're back!

[@DansVlog]

Thank you Stephanie

[@zachlane6261]

Love your channel. Miss all the roll off videos you used to do.

[@DansVlog]

Thank you Zach

[@sheadiggs9355]

Grateful for this vid

[@georgemyers6518]

Great video and great to see you back here dan. Budget billing for lawn care is genius.i never thought about it for that.i do budget billing on fuel oil for my house furnace all year long every year and it works out great. I agree with you about small lawns being the best.low overhead by using the smaller mower.i make more $$$$ per hour on those small lawns using my self propelled than I do on larger lawns that I use my lawn tractor on.knocking out more lawns per day is where the money is at even if those smaller lawns pay less than the larger lawns. By the way,elcamino’s are cool.I’ve owned 2 of them in the past.i like my Nissan Frontier but I like those elcamino’s better

[@DansVlog]

I would LOVE an El Camino!

[@brannanburdette2558]

Very nice! 👍🏻

You're welcome Ernesto!

[@stevenclark5450]

Dan, what is the material (and source) you used for the sign on your trailer gate? With appreciation, Steve

[@DansVlog]

It’s simply a yard sign from Vista Print

[@carter6203]

Very good informational video especially with the pricing

[@Seren1624]

YEAH!!!! Your are back...good to see you again!

[@joshuashelby7464]

Great Information as always...☑️

[@DansVlog]

Thank you

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

We bill every 3 mow and we give customers net 15 to pay this worked for us.I used door hangers to advertise.

[@1345mack]

Good stuff here, thank you for sharing

[@d.gentry3086]

Ole Dan bout to jump up and pick up some more yards, hope you get 75 new ones LOL

[@DansVlog]

Noooooooo I work too much as it is!!!

[@victoralvarez4852]

Have you updated ur Business card design ?

[@DansVlog]

A little

[@buthdocarmo4360]

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK

[@stevmstng5165]

How do you like your push mower. Do you still recommend it and what model is it

[@DansVlog]

I currently own a Honda HRX217VKA. I really enjoy using this mower. Lots of power and the dual blades is incredible! Highly recommend

[@PNWTraveler]

Great info! Do you always put pricing on your business cards and is $40 lawns the minimum target you look for? Thanks!

[@DansVlog]

Thank you. Yes and yes

[@emmanueletienne9995]

No grace period to pay. Invoice due after service for me. Must have credit card on file to receive service.

[@DansVlog]

Hope ya don’t have a breech. Customer’s info is sacred and private.

[@greenelementlandscape9483]

Good video 👍

[@benthompson8450]

Hi Dan, ever had anyone get o to you about leaving them on the mailbox? I have heard and read that the box and post are usps jurestiction. I do the same thing and never have trouble, have you?

[@DansVlog]

The only trouble I ever had doing this is the morons on KZbin who THINK they are lawyers, post master general's and judges and just want to pee in everyone's corn flakes.

[@benthompson8450]

Dan's Vlog Haha, know what you mean. Ive never really heard of anyone getting into trouble either. Just checking.

[@daveallen4194]

Dan... why are you sticking with push mowing only? A 48 or 52 inch zero turn or stander would likely cut your mowing time at least in half.

[@andrewsvlogs9110]

Dave Allen because he’s doing “side hustle” not his mowing business anymore. He’s working out of his truck getting some extra cash. Having a huge zero turn would mean getting another trailer, and that seems like too much for just a little side hustle grass cutting.

[@DansVlog]

Great Question Dave! Andrew is right but also, my audience is new people starting out and employed people looking to Side Hustle. I can’t relate to my audience if I am using pro gear. I will never discourage anyone from going bigger IF their business requires it.

[@starbugmechanic5236]

If someone called you and asked you to do a one time cut of their yard would tell them they need to pay upfront?

[@LuisRodriguez-tp4cn]

Excellent,

[@DansVlog]

Thank you

[@James-lu9jf]

Good informative video Dan what did you record it on iPhone 6s or camera ?

[@DansVlog]

Thank you Michael. I used my iPhone SE and edited it on the phone using iMovie. Then I transferred it as a movie to my laptop and uploaded it and then did the end screen thumbnails

[@James-lu9jf]

We've missed you Dan but glad all is well

[@ptaszek1983]

Great video Dan!!! Missed your uploads!

[@marksreviewsandrants8554]

I have been thinking Dan has not made a video in a while,how is your job going?

[@DansVlog]

Ya man, just letting the season come to us

[@dalkeithlonsdalejnr.8507]

1:02 what is it?

[@marchmadness4598]

Good prices

[@SandraLighton]

Business owners will need a lot more advertising alternatives. The market is so saturated. Don't you think?

[@DansVlog]

A nice healthy blend of marketing is wise for any business. Just be very careful you are directly marketing the potential clients you want and not mail-blasting thousands of homes in areas you don't want to work in. Facebook pages are good, direct marketing like this is perfect along with door magnets and sometimes a website will get you work as well. All depends on how large you want to be and how large of an area you want to work in.

[@tlcsnowteam]

And still thinking of getting the Toro TimeMaster my dealer And he’s going to give me a deal on one if I get. One

[@DansVlog]

If you have trouble getting thru some of your lawns now with the AWD mower you have (tall thick grass I mean), you will HATE the under-powered TimeMaster. I had one... they suck. Only good in short or thin grass. Any wet, tall or thick grass kills the engine.

[@tlcsnowteam]

Dan's Vlog Well Dan The lawns out here is not the thick and not the super Long

[@Allcoastlawnandpressurewashing]

Dan's Vlog what’s considered thick grass?. I’m starting out this year. Right now I have a toro push mower and a 46 inc Arens riding mower

[@DansVlog]

When you hear your engine slowing down dramatically and the clippings getting thrown out of the sides of the deck cause it is just too much grass to mulch... that is thick grass.

[@Allcoastlawnandpressurewashing]

Dan's Vlog thanks for the reply. I’ve been following you since I decided to do this side hustle and your advice and videos have been encouraging.

[@tlcsnowteam]

Great video and content well I have a business cards and I charged for the season from May To November

[@DansVlog]

Thanks Jorma! Good to see ya!!

[@showgundee2056]

OK Dan let's get to work

[@Zach-sg5uu]

If they don’t pay and they don’t tell me. Someone’s giving them a letter to pay. If not the line is not being taken care of any more!

[@ElliottLawnService]

What’s your gamer tag? Ha I play too.

[@DansVlog]

DansVlog912 for PubG, Fortnite and Apex Legends on the Xbox. I am just DansVlog on PubG Mobile

[@GothenburgSound]

Slapping the magnet on the mailbox is genius.

[@DansVlog]

Just don't open the door or hinder the flag

[@osvaldocastillo2266]

Shout out Panama. I like to see your video.

[@stevmstng5165]

Rangers lead the way

[@DansVlog]

All The Way!

[@fslbackup3011]

Bi- weekly ?? We could never cut every other week the fescue here in NC grows way to fast for it. That would be a cleanup job for us because after 2 weeks of growing you would have to cut 2 or 3 times to get rid of all those clippings even mowing on 4inches. Not profitable at all and really just a big waste of time to be honest... We do year round contracts ONLY and A-Z services provided ... This keeps all our clients happy also keeps us busy year round even droughts n winter time... Also CC on file and bill customer first of month then all employees are paid with our accounts money...Just thought I would share how we do it.. Nice Video though.

[@DansVlog]

Cool. We have Centipede grass so 2 weeks is fine

[@jerryscott253]

Good deal 👍

[@jeanalexandre1105]

Just use a cash app

I now have Cash App and Venmo
