Contact other cleaning services<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways for you to find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/start-cleaning-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning<\/a> jobs is to get in contact with cleaning services in your area. They may have a great need for cleaning staff (even freelance or part-time as yourself) and would love to have you.<\/p>\n<p>There is no (or very little) training required, and you could even start in a few days. Ideally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uplead.com\/how-to-find-someones-phone-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find the personal phone number<\/a> of your contact at the cleaning service and contact them personally.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Contact office buildings<\/h3>\n<p>Many larger office buildings will provide janitorial services for their clients as part of their rental package. They may have the need for a freelancer or part-timer to help out with cleaning jobs..<\/p>\n<p>There will be simple trainings on how to use the bigger office cleaning machines, like floor buffers, but it\u2019s quick to learn.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Build up your portfolio<\/h3>\n<p>Usually when people hear the word \u201cportfolio\u201d they think of photographers or other creative people that carry around black folders to show off their work.<\/p>\n<p>However, it doesn\u2019t have to be restricted to those industries. You can use it too, by photographing (with your client\u2019s permission) a client\u2019s home before and after.<\/p>\n<p>You could offer this portfolio-building cleaning for free or heavily discounted to incentivize the owner to give you permission.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9753\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9753\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cleaning-jobs-portfolio.jpg?resize=690%2C345&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Just like photographers, you can build up a portfolio of before and after pictures of homes you've cleaned\" width=\"690\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cleaning-jobs-portfolio.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cleaning-jobs-portfolio.jpg?resize=600%2C300&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just like photographers, you can build up a portfolio of before and after pictures of homes you&#8217;ve cleaned<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4. Contact building management companies<\/h3>\n<p>Another great way to go about getting cleaning jobs regularly is to find and contact local building management companies. These companies are responsible for the management (including cleaning) of one or more properties.<\/p>\n<p>They are always in need of valuable cleaning services and may just have an opening for you.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Networking<\/h3>\n<p>There are also many networking groups you may be able to join in your area. These groups don\u2019t have to be just for cleaners.<\/p>\n<p>They can be small business networking, and this would be a golden opportunity for you to find your next clients.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip_box choice\" style=\"color:#555;background-color:#fff8f8;border-left:5px solid #e22524;padding:30px 30px 25px 30px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/top-10-invoicing-tips-cleaning-business\/?ref=11-easy-ways-find-cleaning-jobs-today\">\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog_hp_img\" style=\"height:120px;background-image:url('https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/feature-invoicing-tips-cleaning-business.jpg?fit=600%2C252&ssl=1');\" title=\"Top 10 Invoicing Tips for Your Cleaning Business\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-8 col-xs-12\" style=\"text-align: left;font-style: normal;margin-top:-8px;\">\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/top-10-invoicing-tips-cleaning-business\/?ref=11-easy-ways-find-cleaning-jobs-today\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#e22524;font-size:16px;display:block;\">Top 10 Invoicing Tips for Your Cleaning Business<\/span><\/a>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;color:#000;line-height:1.8;display:inherit;\">When you run a cleaning business, you'll need to take care of your finances.
