Get a freelancer (upwork or fiverr) to make you a logo/flyer and get $45 worth of flyers printed at your local print shop.
Buy a box of sidewalk chalk if you really want to grind and get gritty.
A thread on how to turn $100 into a lot more:
People are spending a lot of money on their homes right now. Its time to go get some of that money and help out some of these people.
Sound silly? Good.
It really is this simple sometimes.
Lets go 👇
Get a freelancer (upwork or fiverr) to make you a logo/flyer and get $45 worth of flyers printed at your local print shop.
Buy a box of sidewalk chalk if you really want to grind and get gritty.
Go to a middle class or high end neighborhood and hand out flyers on porches and wherever else.
Your cell phone will start ringing. Book all of the jobs for Saturday.
Rent a power washer Saturday morning with the other $50 and go make $300 in one day.
Get reviews, upload photos, make it look nice. 50% of your biz will come through here.
Ask the customers nicely to use their water. Borrow Gma's Prius to haul the washer.
Make posts on Facebook Marketplace (this one is key).
Within a few weeks you'll be bringing in $1,000 every weekend.
“On demand” is going to be your competitive advantage so you can charge a higher price. Make sure you can offer next day service or same day service. As soon as you get too busy to do that its time to hire.
Target students at first because they work hard and are reliable. They have summers off which is your busiest time.
This along with the “on demand” nature will put you ahead of 99% of your competitors.
Use google maps to measure concrete area and provide instant quotes over the phone. Put out yard signs with your logo.
Get the contract to do it twice a year for $15,000 per service.
You can get one of those big ride on power washers eventually and start doing larger commercial jobs.
Sell the company or just cash the checks and sit on the beach with your family. You’ll likely get bored and end up building another business.
I hired one of these guys to wash the exterior doors and walls at my Pittsburgh facility a while ago.
1 out of the 10 that I called could bring their own water.
3 weeks later he showed up with a crew of 2 folks. Took them 1.5 hours. Billed me $1,000. I was happy.
This model works for any business (including my storage business we founded in 2011).
Here is a list of others to consider:

Start SMALL.
Don’t try to change the world. Make that first $1000 and then level up. Then level up again.
Then you look back 10 yrs later and you’re making serious money and ready to change the world.

Assalam Alaiki dear Sister in Islam. I hope this meets you well. Hope you are keeping safe in this pandemic. May Allah preserve you and your beloved family. I would like to address the misconception and misinterpretation in your thread. Please peruse the THREAD below.
1. First off, a disclaimer. Should you feel hurt by my words in the course of the thread, then forgive me. It’s from me and not from Islam. And I probably have to improve on my delivery. And I may not quote you verbatim, but the intended meaning would be there. Thank You!
2. Standing on Imam Shafii’s quote: “And I never debated anyone but that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue” or “I never once debated anyone hoping to win the debate; rather I always wished that the truth would come from his side.”
3. Okay, into the meat (my love for meat is showing. Lol) of the thread. Even though you didn’t mention the verse that permitted polygamy, everyone knows the verse you were talking about (Q4:3).
4. Your reasons for the revelation of the verse are strange. The first time I came across such. I had to quickly consult the books on the exegeses or tafsir of the Quran written by renowned specialists!
A lot of things Muslims do now and claim as Islamic rule is actually a culture that Islam curtailed or tried to perfect.

Let's talk polygamy.
Islam didn't come and say, "oh men, marry four wives"
No.
Polygamy was in existence, long before the coming of Islam.
