When you get a snowfall just go knock on doors. Tell them "Im trying too raise some money too pay for my hobbies,, can I shovel your snow for a few dollars?"

If they ask how much,, just say "whatever you think is fair when I am done."

Now if they really are cheap skates,, say thank you very much and move on. If they pay youwhat you think is fair,, say "can I give you my phone number and if there is any yard work I can do for you,, give me a call... if I can do it, id be more than happy too!!"

Also mention you are considerring cutting a few lawns next summer too support your hobbies. If you do a good job in no time you'll have more people getting ahold of you than you will care too deal with.. Every spring I get a half dozen or so people contact me and ask me if id like too cut theyre lawns. I make about 3 grand a year cutting a half dozen lawns for about a total of 150 or so hours of my time.
