People are always tired clearing off snow in the morning due to their busy schedules. You can help them as well as making money from it. If you live in an area that experiences heavy snowfall during the winter months, you can make money by clearing snow. Here are some ways to do it:

Shoveling driveways and sidewalks: Offer to shovel driveways and sidewalks for people in your neighborhood. You can charge a flat fee or by the hour. Make sure to have your own shovel and wear appropriate clothing to stay warm.

Snow blowing: If you have a snow blower, you can offer to clear driveways and sidewalks for people. Snow blowers can make the job much faster and easier, but they can be expensive to buy, so make sure you can charge enough to make it worth your while.

Plowing: If you have a pickup truck with a plow attachment, you can offer to plow driveways and parking lots for businesses or homeowners. This can be a more lucrative option than shoveling or snow blowing, but it requires more equipment and expertise.

Salt and sanding: You can offer to spread salt or sand on driveways and sidewalks to prevent slips and falls. This can be a good add-on service to shoveling or snow blowing.

Create a business: If you want to turn snow removal into a full-time business, you can advertise your services online or through local media. Make sure to have the necessary equipment and insurance, and be prepared to handle customer inquiries and complaints.

Advertise on social media: You can advertise your snow removal services on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Share pictures and videos of your work and ask your friends and followers to share your posts with their networks.

Create flyers: Create flyers and distribute them in your neighborhood or local community centers. Be sure to include your contact information and the services you offer.

Remember to be safe when clearing snow. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, take breaks as needed, and be careful not to overexert yourself.
 
You're right that it's not always easy waking up in the morning to clear snow, especially if you were very tired at work. I also have some additional tips for making money by clearing snow.

Offer discounts: Consider offering discounts to new customers or those who sign up for a seasonal contract. This can help attract new business and encourage repeat customers.

Expand your services: In addition to snow removal, you could offer other winter services such as ice dam removal, roof raking, or gutter cleaning. This can provide additional income and help differentiate your business from competitors.

Hire additional help: If you have more business than you can handle on your own, consider hiring additional help. You could hire part-time employees, partner with other snow removal businesses, or subcontract work to independent contractors.
