$30? ...DEAL! (Oddly Satisfying Lawn Care)

  • First things first, why did I only charge $30 for this absolute mess of a property?
    Join this channel to get access to perks:
    / @coppercreekcuts
    1) To feed my hungry, hungry Bobcat mower (bit.ly/BCBrad) Also, for you guys. You think I would pass up a lawn like this? No way, I will get this tall grass, overgrown edging, unruly shrubs, and everything else on camera, even if it means doing it for peanuts.
    2) This property is an abandoned pre-forclosure property in the neighborhood of the HOA (Home Owner's Association) for which I have an annual contract to maintain the common areas. Since the home owner is out of the picture, tacking on fines to the house wouldn't work, which means the HOA is paying for this out of the community account. They apparently had some budget constraints, so my choices were A) tell them I don't even do weekly lawn care maintenance for $30, let alone an overgrown hot mess like this and they can go kick rocks or B) chalk it up to a show of good will and a thank-you for the business they have given me so far. I chose B).
    3) This is tangentially related to 1), but think about this. If you LOVED making videos, and in fact could produce TWO videos from ONE job (a real time and quick time version), and EACH of those videos had the potential to passively earn more in just a few months than you could make mowing a client's lawn for an entire year, AND if those videos would continue to generate revenue indefinitely, would you insist on getting an extra $20, $50, $100, or even $200 to do the job or else you would walk away? Put in that perspective, hopefully you can see why I had no issues taking barely enough money to cover expenses and overall a loss on this job (once labor/profits/savings are taken into account).
    Q&A: Most common answers are addressed in the video, see the timestamps towards the end for the Q&A. Other common questions:
    - Q: Why aren't you mowing this or that way? Why are you mowing the way you do?
    - A: Because over the past 3 years I have learned what makes good UA-cam videos and frequent camera/angle changes are what get the views., and that means cutting the yard into tiny boxes or sections. Generally speaking, videos of mine (and other lawn care channels) where the camera only stays in one spot do poorly.
    - Q: How could you work for that little? You are ruining the industry!
    - A: See #3 above. A job like this is an investment in my eyes, and if my skills in story telling, videography, editing, and production are up to snuff, I can make many times over the investment I spent in under-paid time and energy to complete this yard.
    - Q: How much would you normally charge for a yard like that?
    - A: If I won't film it, between 2 and 3 times the weekly maintenance price, but you really shouldn't look to me for how to price lawns. Develop your own cost per man hour to cover YOUR expenses/profits/savings/etc and then multiply that times how long you think it will take to complete the job, plus any additional fees you may want to add on for 'headache' yards or clients. If you line up 100 lawn care guys to bid on an overgrown lawn like this, I am willing to bet more often than not I will be in the lower third or even quarter of bid amounts because I am wanting to make a video on the property (which again, can generate much more revenue than a one time clean up ever would. Many times I bid to get the job, not cover my expenses.

      @Wayne Tetreault Most edgers will have pre set settings, if the lawn has never been edged before I would recommend for ease just get it to ground level. And then work your way down as do it again and again.
      The reason I say this is if you try to go to deep on a new lawn you're likely going to end up without a straight cut.
      I found the best depth to be about 3 to 4 cm or about 1 - 1.5 inches.

      Looking it like that it may be worth it. I doubt advertisers for lawn care products are paying that much in ad cents but maybe 1k for 2 million views. Still worth it. If he was not uploading this though doing that for 30 dollars is operating at a loss. After taking his time + cost and wear and tare on his tools he made nothing on that deal. Where I live that would have cost me easily 150 to do. I get rural florida he can't charge that much but assuming he wasn't uploading this I would say the minimum he should charge for what he did was 60 bucks.
