Blows my mind that in this day and age kids getting paid to do yard work is still a thing.


Most kids have their entire childhood and teenage years without any real responsibilities outside of ‘school.’

So kudos to the parents out there teaching their kids the value of work and money management.

I appreciate all of the advice in this thread. With school winding down, we're about to get this going. He already has a couple of jobs lined up down the street.

Question about making advertisements/flyers. Is a good size one-half of a regular 8.5x11 sheet of paper? I feel like a business card is too small, and want to include the following:
- Title/name
- list of example services
- list of addresses in the neighborhood he's serviced so far (with their permission)
- a couple photos of him working.

How does this sound, and is there anything else I should include on the flyer?

ETA:

This is good to know. The plan is to hand them out via face-to-face contact by knocking on doors, and having those people hand out to their friends.
