GopherHaul 16 Lawn Care Entrepreneur Business Show
Hello everyone and welcome to Gopherhaul!
If you haven’t started your business yet, what are you waiting for. If you don’t start your business this year, you’ll be at least 1 year older when you do so get started today!
GopherHaul is a show for entrepreneurs and new business owners. In it we discuss business tips and tricks we have learned over the years and share with you some real world experiences on how to help your lawn care business or any other business grow.
In this episode we will be talking about some new free downloads we have added to our lawn care business forum.
One is a flyer and the other is a lawn care business bid proposal template.
Next we will be talking about a new section we have added to the lawn care business forum called “Help me bid it.” This is going to allow you to post specifics of a lawn care job you want to bid on and get feedback from other lawn care business owners as to what you should charge.
Then we talk about the concept of can you bid for too big of a job. Can such a job actually do more harm than good? Find out by watching the video.
Next we talk about how you can use a down turn in the real estate market to actually gain new customers. We added a new flyer on this marketing concept as well and you are welcome to download it from our lawn care business forum.
Lastly we discuss search engine optimization tips that will help you rank higher in searches. Why should you pay for internet advertising when we can tell you how to get in the top results of searches for lawn care businesses in your area!

Hi murffy87,
The concept is that the home seller offers 1 year’s worth of lawn care service to the potential buy.
The home seller pays you.
Ultimately the goal is, offering such a perk, is cheaper for the home seller than to drop the house price as an inducement.

I checked out your …
I checked out your site and your video. What’s been your view so far on using youtube as a marketing tool? Has it been helpful or not? Have you thought of ways to promote your video?
It’s kind of funny in a way, your video is supposed to be the thing that is promoting you but then once you put it up, you need to promote your promotion video!

Oh you will love …
Oh you will love switching to another movie making software package. The windows movie maker is sooo limited. Once you get anything else you will feel so much more freer to be more creative.
The green screen allows you to put up an image behind you. So for instance if you videotape yourself with a solid green material behind you, in the software you can insert a background image or video and it can make it more colorful.

Hi,
I use Vegas …
Hi,
I use Vegas but this is still basic software as compared to what’s out there. There is a lot more amazing software that can do even more.
What are you using now to do your videos?
Oh and by the way, what do you think of the use of the green screen? Does it make the video look better or worse?
