Step 9 of 10
Get your first 10 customers
⏱ Ongoing
Your first 10 customers come from 3 places:
- Google Business Profile — A big chunk of "near me" service searches click through Google's local profiles. Set it up for free at google.com/business. Upload 10 photos, pick your service area, and start asking happy customers to leave a review.
- Door hangers — Old-school, works. A Saturday-morning run through a 500-home neighborhood with a clean design and a clear offer can land your first handful of customers. Print for about $100 at Vistaprint.
- Referrals — Ask every happy customer for one introduction. Offer $25 off their next service for each referral. Referred customers tend to sign up faster and stick longer than cold leads.
Ready to turn those 10 into $4K/mo?
Every customer you land needs a way to pay you every month — automatically.
Here's what happens without a real tool: you text them reminders, they forget, you feel weird chasing them, and by month 3 half your customers have "accidentally" stopped paying.
Ruunly handles billing automatically. Customer adds their card once, then every month on the 1st — boom — you get paid. No reminders, no chasing, no "can you Venmo me."
- Automatic monthly billing on the day YOU pick
- Professional website for your business (so you don't look like a "guy with a truck")
- Client portal — they manage their own card, skip a service, or upgrade without calling you
- Automatic retry + polite reminder when a card fails
