You've probably seen the headlines: “Make $100K scooping dog poop!” — but what's the REAL truth? In this episode, I share my honest take on what it really looks like to start in today's world. We'll talk about the difference between revenue and actual take-home pay, why this industry is booming right now, how much it really costs to get started (and how I did it scrappy with under $1,000), who this business is actually for, and the hard lessons I've learned over 7 years in the field.

To make $100,000 a year with a pooper scooper business, focus on recurring revenue through monthly subscriptions. Aim for about 84 customers paying $100 each month; one person can handle this. Route density is important, so target densely populated areas with a lower upper-middle class. Boost your marketing by connecting with local pet businesses, chambers of commerce, and neighborhood Facebook groups. Get five-star Google reviews, use yard signs and door hangers, and learn from any customer churn. Be sure to participate actively in the community.
