GET YOUR TIDE PODS READY

Okay, if you're like me, you hate doing laundry. And folding - don't even get me started.

But, if I was getting paid for it... well it might just become a little bit more enjoyable.

And that's what I'm going to teach you how to do today. Making money that is, this isn't going to be a laundry tutorial because frankly, I would need one too.

The service that pays you to wash is called Hampr. And get this…

Hampr was founded by someone whose passion is doing laundry. Call her the Tide-in-Chief!

How much will I earn as a washr?

70% of what Hampr charges ($10-$15 per load) is yours to keep - plus 100% of all tips.

So, at 2-3 loads every day after work, you’re looking at anything between $250-$300 every week. 

What do you have to do?

Pick up the laundry, wash it, fold it, then deliver it back. A pretty simple side hustle!

SO HERE'S HOW TO BE A WASHR ON HAMPR

1. Create a Hampr Washr account

To become a washr, go here. Or download the "Washr by Hampr" app.

You'll first fill out the usual info like home address, name, email, phone number, and device type.

Then you'll be asked to fill out another form with details about your washer and dryer, such as make, model, and year of manufacture. *it should be at least 4.2 cubic feet or else you'll have to do multiple washes for one load*

You also must meet these requirements to be a washr:

• 18 years of age

• Pass a background check

• Have a valid U.S. driver’s license and auto insurance

• Have access to a reliable vehicle

• Have a washing machine (can be shared) that’s at least 4.2 cubic feet

• Be able to afford Dropps - Hampr approved detergent (Washrs get a 20% discount)

2.  Account set up

This is the part where you add your bank information so you can get paid for your services.

Speaking of services, be sure to personalize yours by uploading a clear photo of yourself and putting some decent effort into your bio. Anything to make you more personable and trustworthy.

You will also need to set your radius so the app knows how far you want to go to pick up laundry.

And, remember to turn on notifications for “Available Orders” so you never miss out on a gig.

3. Wash, earn, repeat

You'll be notified when there's available orders within your radius, which you can then claim by double tapping the “CLAIM” button on the app.

Whip over there, pick up the laundry during the specified window, do it some justice, and then drop it off in the same window the following day.

You always return the clothes within the same window, so if you claim an order during the evening window (5pm to 7pm), you’ll need to drop it off between 5pm and 7pm the following day.

Pro tip: You can scale this side hustle if a laundromat near you has washing machines that are 4.2 cubic feet or larger. Use those and do multiple loads at one time to maximize profits!

BENEFITS OF HAMPR

• Hampr’s competitors, the likes of Push Laundry and Rinse, pay per pound. Hampr’s per-load approach makes more sense

• Laundry like sofa covers, shoes, rugs, curtains, comforters, and costumes are prohibited

• Even better, you won't deal with bed bugs or lice, grease, muddy clothes, or excessive pet hair because hamprs must pre-treat their laundry and remove any existing stains before putting it in the hampr bag

• You don't need to sort any of the laundry - simply take it out of the hampr bag and throw it in your washing machine

UNOFFICIALLY, OFFICIAL

Welp, looks like Elon Musk is buying Twitter after all.

It isn't official but lawyers close to him are saying he is going to lose the Oct. 17th hearing so he's buying Twitter for $44 billion at $54.20 a share.

You guys think this is good or bad? He's an engineer at heart so I'm hoping he'll make it better!

That's all I got for ya today folks!
