Believe it or not, LOTS of people don’t like doing laundry — gasp! Others might not mind doing laundry, but don’t have the time, appliances, etc. Either way, if you like (or don’t strongly dislike) doing laundry and are great at it, this could be a way to make some extra cash.
Poplin is a site that matches laundry luminaries (like you) with people who need to have their laundry done.
This involves picking up customer’s laundry, wash-dry-fold, and returning it the next day.
Regarding how much you can make, Poplin says:
“It depends on how many orders you accept and how big they are! Pay is calculated based on the weight of finished laundry. The pay for standard next-day service is $.75/LB. of laundry completed plus tips. The pay for same-day service is $1.50/LB. of laundry completed plus tips.
The average earned per order is about $40. There is a minimum per order for customers, so you’ll always earn at least $15 (plus tips) per order.
Our top Laundry Pros earn over $6000/month. The average for the top 100 Laundry Pros is about $2500/month. Many Laundry Pros gig part time and earn to save for a vacation, pay a particular bill, or contribute to a college fund.”
Here are some details excerpted from the Poplin site:
