I am currently making about $2000 a week off Facebook for free by posting in my local community groups. i make an ad with some before and afters just for carpet cleaning. The next week ill do carpet cleaning and patching with pic's. Then carpet cleaning and pet stain removal. Soon as i am more comfortable with T&G ill do ads with that. 1 down side is it takes so long to type stuff to all these people. but if you stay up on it. and keep talking to people who say "interested". if i did not sell them at first i make sure to keep in contact. at the end of the week i go back over my ad's and message anyone who did not purchase. if they did not give me a time frame when they are looking at i will message people every 2 weeks after that

Here is another you can do for free. I signed up for Amazon Home services in my area. only get 4 or 5 jobs a month from it but its money. They get 20% of whatever they sell on Amazon. Amazon collects the money does the advertising everything. you just do the work. they pay every 2 weeks. Not a lot of money, but to me who is 1 year in business and basically scratching out work where ever i can find it that extra $800 or so a month helps. but its odd how it works here now. when i first signed up i set my prices. i set them high enough to cover amazons 20%. then Amazon changed it up now they set the price. Higher than what i had set but still i dont like that idea but money is money and im not taking a loss.

Also Angies list has started a % program i like. You offer a deal put it up. If an Angies list member buys it the customer pays them not you. then Angies list pays you a week later. What i like about Angies list is its only 15% and if there are any add-on like over sized rooms or just additional work the customer may want Angies list wants no % of that only what they sold. unlike Amazon who wants you to change the price so they can get their piece

I seem to get a lot through Google without having to play FB games. This time of the year you should be getting a steady stream if you can get decent visability and a unique sales proposition and now the typical - City, type of Service and Im the Best. ( That some lame stuff that looks the same as 90% of the listings )
 
When i first started advertising on FB some guy use to jump on my ads and state that he would beat any price. So i paid for an ad for him with his posts on my ad saying he would beat any price. I also included another guys ad that cleaned with a portable for $10 a room. Don't know if it worked but he never posted on my ad again. I don't mind competition just don't try to hijack my stuff is how i look at it.
