Earn Money as a Removalist

More and more people are relocating from one place to another due to a variety of reasons. It could be due to a career move, financial, social, lifestyle and so on. Much more people are even relocating these days to other countries and other cultures.

The normal way to earn from this event is to offer relocation services yourself and then to offer to clean the now vacant premises of your client. Relocating the contents of an entire house is not usually done by a solo person because the hard work involved is usually beyond the capacity of one person. Lifting and moving heavy appliances and furniture comes to mind when doing this service so we usually see very physically fit people doing this kind of job.

An enterprising person especially those considered not physically superior can start out in this business by helping or assisting in packing the lighter items of their clients. One can further specialise by packing services specially designed for light but expensive and delicate goods like antiques, expensive home decorations and other items.

I remember when I vacated the apartment I lived on for several years. I had accumulated so many items along the years that it was very hard to carry or even dispose of them easily. Everyone I knew were also busy with their own lives that I could not impose on them helping me.

This situation is not all too uncommon and I have seen many of my friends and acquaintances hiring professional movers because they cannot also find help among their circle of friends and acquaintances.

There is definitely a need for house content moving using cargo trucks that should be done by physically fit workers but an enterprising person can also start with just a car with a big cargo space like a car with foldable rear seats and preferably a pickup.

In Australia I have known young people with old cars who assist international students move from place to place. International students and the likes usually just possess items fit for a room not an entire house or even an apartment so they do not need a cargo truck even an ordinary car will do.

Taxi drivers are normally concerned with the upkeep of their vehicles and are not too keen on helping international students and the likes from carrying their belongings. International students also know few people or even their fellow students in the country with the time or car to assist them so they are the perfect clients for the beginner removalist.

Conclusion

Starting a moving business even if you are not physically superior or do not have a cargo carrier vehicle is still possible. You just need to know your limitations and work from this. You should get customers who do not require much services like heavy lifting of items or big cargo space for a vehicle. You can start small and become bigger as you progress.
