Mobile Phone Clean‑Up Clinics

Concept

Slow, ad‑infested phones annoy users more than cracked screens. Set up a two‑hour pop‑up at a café, run quick diagnostics, delete bloatware, and coach on storage hygiene. Charge a flat fee, hand back a noticeably faster device.

Micro‑Capex Stack

• $15 precision screwdriver kit (for battery swaps/ SIM trays)
• SD cards bought wholesale (resell with margin)
• A printed “before/after speed test” sheet to prove value

48‑Hour Validation

Post in local buy/sell groups: “Is your Android crawling? I’ll clean it in 20 min at XYZ Café Saturday—$25.” Secure five bookings to move forward.

Service Flow

1. Greet, run Geekbench or built‑in diagnostics (free).
2. Purge adware & preinstalls, clear cache, disable auto‑start apps.
3. Upsell: install lightweight launcher, battery swap (if parts on hand), or 64 GB SD upgrade.
4. Collect cash, demo snappier load times—instant gratification.

Expansion Routes

• Partner with coworking spaces for member perks.
• Sell a $7/mo “Digital Housekeeping” remote check‑in via AnyDesk.
• Record a screen‑share mini‑course; passive income funnel.

Pitfalls to Dodge

• iPhones are trickier—stick to Android at first.
• Data loss fears—always back up photos before nuking junk.
