[@thatkckidd.6563]

I really appreciate the content you’re providing and couldn’t be more thankful for having crossed “KZbin paths” with you. Two questions I have just if you have time: 1. if I wanted to learn more about digital marketing and how to apply it to a mobile detailing business effectively, where would be a good starting point? Is there an “Archers detailing” version of it out there somewhere? Haha. 2. When it comes to hiring/training employees, have you discovered any common denominators of skill sets & personally traits that you now look for that seem to plug in the best and thrive happily? such as: age groups, whether or not them having prior detailing experience was better or worse in regards to plugging into your business, etc… And did you create your own systemized SOP’s as simplified training guides?

[@HudsonArcher_Details]

Appreciate the support! 1) YES! There is an Archer’s detailing way lol. Connect with me on IG: instagram.com/hudarcher?igsh=MWp0bHVzMGF3NDVk& And I can get ya plugged into the Driven Elite. It’s my private mastermind, we host weekly sessions on Sundays, currently going over digital marketing very heavily! 2) as far as employees are concerned. Yes, there most certainly are specific kinds of people that do better than others. I recently stumbled upon a secret to hiring & building out SOPs that I’ve never seen any other Detailer use. It goes against the grain, but will be the reason I grow to $50k/mo this summer, can almost guarantee it. I’ll keep it locked away for the time being tho 🤫

Is digital marketing something I should do classes for through a school or how did you learn how to make a website and do that part?

Hi Hudson, quick question for ya: Did you establish a LLC when you started, or do you now have one? What are the PROS/CONS to this? Also, what do you recommend for the total number of beginning clients? Thanks, man! Also, I like your mention of Jesus Christ in your vids! Keep up the good work!

[@andyrantshumanphilosopher7571]

$75 extra, for fall out, tar sap glue, and then a clay bar... Im starting out. Ive got all the equipment and chems. I dont do paint correction or machine polishing. I class myself as a valeter rather than a detailer purely based on that. Im in the UK. I charge $100 without carpet and seat extraction, and an extra $40 for with. Maybe I should charge what detailers do, which in the UK, seems to be $175 without paint correction. With, depending on a single stage polish/buff and a complete 2 stage with ceramic coat, can be anything from $625 to $1500. Thats why I dont do it. Theres not enough high earners who wana spend that on making a car factory fresh

There’s absolutely no reason to accuse someone you do not know online of lying, especially when they are trying to help show others it’s possible.

JESUS CHRIST died for you in a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and was, is, and will be The TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have faith in Christ. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and turn away from your wicked ways.
