Tucson Cleaning Service

We would like to invite all cleaning service providers and homeowners to share with us a story or two about a cleaning related experience from the year 2007.

We will be sharing our stories that represent friendships built and lives intertwined. We had very high standards when we enter a written agreement to clean a home on a regular basis. We set out to become an integral part of our client’s lives to truly make a difference and not just clean homes. We played a vital role in our client’s lives. We developed several strong personal relationships.

Along the way, we experienced some bizarre and unusual situations. This is a short list of adventures that we will be telling over the next few months.

•    Cleaning a home in the foothills where we partied decades ago.
•    Client’s elderly mother takes a turn for the worse.
•    Letting a client into her home on Saturday after she locked herself out.
•    Lawyer client represents me in court pro bono.
•    Client becomes my de-facto marketing and business mentor.
•    Water is pouring from the ceiling.
•    A client recovers from multiple strokes.
•    We discovered some really cool cleaning tips.
•    Bartering for a website

Having said all of that… We would like to hear from you… And from all you website owners we would suggest leaving a comment. That comment will create a very useful relevant back link. And if you share a detailed story we will allow you to provide your business contact information.

We are also looking to create an E-Book to two for 2008. If we use your story, it will include your contact information and a web link…. Thanks!

Hell-o, and Seasons Greetings from all of us at Your Fresh Start and Tucson House Cleaning Tips blog. It has been an interesting journey over the past year writing this blog (My First) and marketing this website.

All of this website stuff and blogging was new to us in 2007. We studied search engine optimization and marketing for 8 – 10 hours a day at the end of 2006 and into January of 2007. We did this for four straight months and for seven days a week. We had no other reasonable choice.

We had the website built through a barter arrangement. Early on we discovered that if we ever got the website built we could never depend on this man to manage our sites. So I went on a crash course to figure out how to get onto the first page of the Google results for our keywords.

I have to bless this man for telling me that this could not be done, and if it could it would take six months. Well, three days after the site went live it was on the first page of results… And it has never left! That’s eleven months on the first page for local searches.

Not only that, our blog has been consistently ranked #1 for multiple searches English language world wide! It still blows me away to know that in early October of 2006 I knew none of this.

This success lead to the creation of a new business called, Tucson SEO Solutions, at http://www.tucsonseosolutions.com. We provide website consulting services here in Tucson. I invite you to do a Google search for ”Tucson SEO”  to verify our success. We also teach SEO Basics seminars at a local non-profit business association, The Arizona Small Business Association, or ASBA.

Usually these business to business website services are usually slow during the holidays. However, in early December we were featured as a quoted expert in an article about ecommerce, in the local daily. Since, our metro area is around one million; a lot of eyeballs covered that story. The business has really taken off. We have been re-connected with friends from decades ago and lost business connections.

Things have been so good that we have not taken on a new cleaning client since February and are winding that business down. We will most likely be using the website to launch cleaning tips e-books. We have begun research on a book, How to start a cleaning business and succeed. The book is not meant to be a feel good start a business with only $100.00 affair. No, it will take a hard look at the reality of starting a business. We do not believe in fluff. It is difficult to start any business and succeed, and we are into assisting people to succeed in business.

We are also seeking cleaning tips for our future book as well! Everyone submitting a tip will be given credit for their participation. Those tips that are actually used will come with a free sponsorship. This will entitle you to provide your business contact information and a website link.

Got Tips?

Thanks, God bless… Happy New Year… And please vote in 2008!

Many of us are rushing about getting ready for the Holidays. Some of you are scurrying about cleaning the house before the family arrives.  While you at it don’t forget to clean out the frig. If you are like many us your frig holds all kinds of surprises such as way stale left overs and rotting something in the veggie drawer and then there are those spills. It will also help get the busy bodies at bay… You know, the ones that never think your house will ever meet there standards. They will be shocked to see the sparkling gleam from with your frig.

Now, is a great time to make room in your frig by cleaning it and cleaning it out. All those quests are going to generally require an over stuffed refrigerator to feed the invaders. So why hang on to that Costo sized ketchup container that is holding about .35 cents worth of ketchup. When you are replacing these items buy smaller containers. You will be glad that you did.

Now, don’t open these items like ketchup or mayo until you need them. Some of these items are still in there because things like that jar on salsa, but no one wants to waste it, after all it cost a couple of bucks… Hea, lighten up on yourself… You can be frugal with the refrig staples after the holidays.
