You design, print, hang, and take down lost-pet posters for nearby homes and shops. They pay a visit fee plus a rate for rooms, hours, or units.
This is neighborhood work you show up and do: design, print, hang, and take down lost-pet posters. Households and small businesses pay a call-out fee plus units (rooms, hours, dogs, windows). You do not need an app to start. A normal week is a geographic route of jobs, before/after photos, and professional texts. Insurance, licenses, and parking rules matter more than a logo. Price a minimum so tiny jobs do not destroy the day.
Nextdoor, Craigslist, and Rover-style apps are free. Optional $15–40 kit. First client often days to 2 weeks (Rover / BLS personal-care and service).
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Relevant tools
Hand-tool starter kit
Hand-tool starter kit. A tote of the first hand tools a one-person trade actually uses: drivers, knives, tape, and a small hammer. Not a contractor van build-out.
Transport
Local transit pass
A month of local transit (or a rideshare float of the same size) so a route job can move. This is fare, not a vehicle.
Invoices
Invoice app
An invoicing seat plus a numbered-invoice template. Digital; this is not a bookkeeper.
Basic insurance
Liability insurance intake
An intake packet and a broker handoff for basic liability. This is filing help, not a bound insurance policy.
A simple booking link
Booking link tool
A booking-link seat with buffers, time zones, and a confirmation email. Software, not a receptionist.
