From Dirty Laundry to Clean Profits: How One Person Built a $3,000/Month Side Hustle with hampr

Meet Sarah (fake name), a stay-at-home mom who transformed her knack for washing clothes into a $3,000/month income using hampr, an on-demand laundry service app. Here’s how she did it, and how you can too.

hampr (not a sponsor, but should be 👀) is a platform that connects busy individuals with local "washrs" who handle their laundry needs. As a washr, you get to:

• Be Your Own Boss: Set your own schedule and work from home.

• Earn Extra Income: Average earnings around $500 weekly, depending on your market and availability.

• Support Your Community: Provide a valuable service to neighbors in need of laundry assistance.

Getting started

Sarah's journey began with a simple application:

1. Apply to Be a washr: She visited the hampr website and filled out the application form.

2. Complete Background Checks: hampr ensures trust and safety by conducting thorough background checks on all washrs.

3. Set Up Laundry Space: Using her existing washer and dryer, Sarah designated a clean, organized area for processing laundry.

4. Choose a Flexible Schedule: She selected times that fit her family commitments, often working during school hours or in the evenings.

Initial Expenses:

• Laundry Supplies: High-quality detergent, fabric softeners, and stain removers (~$50).

• Laundry Bags: Durable bags for transporting clothes (~$30).

• Marketing Materials: Flyers or business cards to promote her services locally (~$20).

Total Initial Investment: Approximately $100.

Building to $3,000 a Month

Sarah's income grew steadily as she implemented the following strategies:

1. Maximize Weekly Orders: By accepting 20-25 hamprs per week, Sarah capitalized on hampr's average earnings potential of up to $500 weekly.

2. Focus on Quality and Reliability: Positive reviews and repeat customers were earned through meticulous attention to detail and punctuality.

3. Expand Clientele:

   • Local Partnerships: Collaborating with nearby salons and gyms that required regular laundry services.

   • Community Engagement: Leveraging neighborhood apps and social media groups to advertise her services.

4. Efficient Workflow: Investing in additional laundry baskets and organizing tools to streamline the process and handle higher volumes.

5. Manage Expenses: Keeping track of detergent usage, utility costs, and wear-and-tear on appliances to ensure profitability.

Monthly Earnings Breakdown:

• Per Load Earnings: Assuming an average of $20 per hampr.

• Weekly Loads: Processing 35-40 hamprs.

• Weekly Income: Approximately $700-$800.

• Monthly Income: Around $2,800-$3,200.

Additional Considerations:

• Utility Costs: Slight increase in water and electricity bills (~$50/month).

• Time Management: Each load, including washing, drying, folding, and delivery, took about 1.5 hours.

Viability:

Sarah's experience showcases how, with minimal initial investment and strategic planning, it's possible to build a lucrative side hustle through hampr. By focusing on quality service, efficient operations, and community engagement, turning laundry into a $3,000/month venture is within reach.

(As usual each business will have it’s own setbacks, and it’s all about the execution and consistency rather than just having the idea)

It’s a great day to be great!

Love, Mike 👋
