Buy a salt spreader and shovel with it, go to the homeowners in your neighborhood or privately owned small businesses (eg local barbershop) and offer to shovel and salt their property.
Scott’s seed spreader is about $30
Really good shovel is about $50 to $80
If you keep your travel costs and salt/calcium chloride costs minimum while still providing a good service you can make that $290 back in a month then start profiting on that $290 in the following months.
This plan depends a lot on the weather in your area but it’s not that different from lawn services for home owners. And given how expensive a good self propelled lawnmower is it’s actually cheaper to do small snow removal (curbs, sidewalks, small driveways and steps) than it is to cut yards.
