You do not need cash to grow neighbour gigs, you need proof and a tiny system.

We tackle the real blocker to local micro work: being unseen and unproven. Build a three item starter menu with simple prices, create proof tokens like before and after pics and one reference, then share a neat note to 20 doors and one calm local post. Hear how the Bin Day Bundle fills weekly by removing hassle and keeping scope small. Reliability becomes your marketing so neighbours pick you without a pitch.

Draft your menu, collect one line of proof, and put ten notes out tomorrow.
