Listen to what this man says, HE IS VERY WISE. I did the exact same thing when I was 17 years old, made great money. Now I run my own lawn care business during the summer and I clean snow from airplanes in the winter. I make about $60.00 an hour, I work completely for myself and I NEVER have to work more than 4 days a week. When I get a SH*THEAD for a client I can tell them what they can do with thier grass. I set my own prices and work at my own pace (VERY FAST=MORE $ PER HOUR!) It took me a lot of hard work to get here but, IT CAN BE DONE.
GOOD LUCK!

i dont think anyone in my neighborhood needs someone to mow their lawn but that is a good idea. are there any other ways you could think of besides lawn mowing

idk man sell lemonade or you could just start one of those fundrasiers saying its for your chronic needs

I'm going to also start a yard work buissiness with my friend. I don't know though how to go about charging. I don't want to go by the hour because the money is shit for the work that way, and I don't want to be like ok if I wack the weeds thats going to be five bucks and then mowing the lawn will be twenty and then watering the plants is going to be another 10 dollars. People would just be like "WTF." Anyone got ideas on how to deal with this issue?

umm im not to sure about how to go about it........i would maybe just go up and be like 15 dollars

simple, what's it worth to you, keeping in mind that you are actually getting paid a hell of a lot for the work of it all involved.. at most (i've worked by myself, with my brother and with a professional run buisness all multiple times) with weedeating (for edging, other wise only thing a weed eater is used for is really tall grass, like too high for a lawn mower, or where there's alot of thick stalked weeds that would be hard on the mower engine) mowing, general weed pulling from flower beds, and stuff like that, 30-35 bucks.. if you're just going to mow, start with 20 bucks per yard, if you keep getting "no's" go down to 15 per yard (i really don't know the size of yards around your neighbor hood so it's kinda hard to say)

in short, just what you feel is fair, keeping in mind if you get "greedy" with pricing you're not going to be getting a whole lot of customers, better to undercut yourself and get alot of yards then, over pricing and get maybe 1 yard a day...

oh yea, don't put prices on each job.. example conversaton:

you: hi mam/sir i was wondering if you'd like me to mow your yard
them: what all are you planning on doing?
you: well, it's more about what you want me to do ~insert laugh~
them: well i have runner grass (those long strings of grass that grow passed driveways and past curbs into the streets) growing off i'd like taken care of and of course the yard is shaggy like to get that mowed.
you: ok well i can surely do that, 25 dollars sound ok to you?
(this is where they say yes or no that's too much)
you: (if they said too high) well i can cut it down to 20 bucks, but i'm sorry i won't go any lower than that (in the nicest way, you're not giving an ultimatem, you're throwing the fact out there that you're not no shmuck and gonna work like crazy for pennies)

then it goes one of two ways
them: ok that sounds fair
you: ok well i'll get right on that, i'll come and let you know when i'm done so you can look over it and make sure you're satisfied

or..
them: well i can't really afford to pay that much, atleast not now..
you: ok well, sorry to bother you, have a good day, and i'll be going around here maybe some time next week, i can come by again if you think you could or would want me to do it for you then.

keep the customer happy and you'll be in good buisness, most of them will tell you to come by in a week or two to see if they want you to mow again, i did that.. and i always used to go to them first thing in a week or two (depending on when theyw anted me to come back) i'd go get them done first since it's basicly garunteed money then move on to go find more yards afterwards.. i don't thin kme or my brother ever went home with less than 150 bucks ina day, only working 6 hours at the most.. great way to make money if you ask me.

Perfect stoner job= DEALING DOPE! get in real good with a close buddy who happens to have the "hook up". ask to help him move his product, lets say he fronted you a QP. you could sell to all your friends and family and after you sell it to them ask em to burn a bowl with ya. so youll be helping others, fqlexible hours, no expirience needed, not leaving house, plenty of weed and money?

and a risk of going to jail..

haha i used to be like u, i used to have like 20 to 30 bucks a week to buy weed. then i started dealing and now i flip my money every week. i buy an 8th or a quarter of kb then i sell grams for 20 bucks and now im rich bitch
