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.
Turn those 10 customers 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
