I started my Housekeeping service on $ 60 in cleaning supplies and $20 for my first credits, that was 2 years ago, I have had nothing but success with Thumbtack. For those of you having issues about not getting jobs from the leads you spend your credits on you first need to look at your reply message, then you need to pick and choose the jobs that are benificial to you, then when you do get a job you need to be dedicated to giving the best service you can offer. After a job have the client give you feedback about what you have done in case you missed something. If they are happy ask them to please give you a review when they are sent the link for it. I can say this because I am their top pro housekeeping service in Charleston SC, I won the 2015 Top Housekeeping Service Award for Thumbtack because of my reviews. Don't blame Thumbtack for your shortcomings, they are a great tool for your business, you are the one that makes or breaks your business and remember one other thing you have compitition out there so don't over charge for your service. Also on the client side of things if they want to pay cheap and you go above and beyond to do the job, don't waste your time, your worth more then that. But there is room for you to lower your price for someone that really needs your help, even then you do a top notch job. You make your business from the way you present yourself, the job you do and earning the great reviews that you work hard for.
