Teens often get frustrated looking for a good summer job. They can take the hassle out of searching for that perfect summer job to make extra money by starting their own home based venture with very little or no startup capital.

Car Wash Biz

A car wash business is a great idea for a summer job for the kids. It's easy to start and the venture can be easily run and managed out of the home. All it takes is a little pre-planning, checking out the competition in the neighborhood, collecting supplies, and advertising. It is important to note that employment opportunities in this type of venture will vary widely across the country. But in most communities this is a welcomed business. And this is a great summer business to teach teens financial responsibility and about the real world of work. A valuable lesson that will surely last the teen a life time. Here how to easily get started.

Duties: Basically the required duties will include washing cars, waxing, cleaning the interiors of the customers cars.

Equipment: A good supply of sponges, squeegees, rags, buckets, cleansers, hand vacumn are the basic equipment requirements.

Skills: Must not be afraid of hard work, very organized, like working with cars, good business sense, reliable,

trustworthy. And the child should also be aware that this business will diminish their social life.

What to charge: This varies widely. If the car wash is in a small town the charge might be less than a larger city. Then again if there are several similar car wash operations in the local area the young savvy owner might have to charge less to attract customers. Average rates might run about $10 for washing the car. Another $10 for cleaning the interior, and an additional $10 and up for waxing. Once again this varies widely from coast to coast.

Income Potential: Income potential varies across the country. Check and see what other kid run or one person car wash operations are making in the area. And then calculate a potential earning based on these figures.

Advertising Strategies: Keep advertising cost low by printing up flyers on a home computer in bulk. And

then distribute the flyers around the neighborhood. A small ad in a local community paper with a telephone listing might also attract potential customers calls.

Best Customers: Often the best customers are family, friends, neighbors. Tell everyone you know about the

new car wash business. Offer them discount on their car wash if they refer others to the business.

With lots of hard work, dedication a home based car wash biz could be a great money making venture for the teen.
