The vending market is extremely saturated and very few people will have this guy’s success.

[@johnadams5694]

I was thinking this, too. Also, the average US citizen is 100k in debt. "Asking family for money" I don't think is usually a good idea to start a vending machine business, unless they also have that dream in mind. Which it wouldn't really be you just going to them and asking for money. Also, I can imagine buying one of those things for 3.5k and having difficulty reselling if the business flops. He made it sound as if reselling it would mean you can basically have no loss if the business goes under. I call bullshit. He lucked up and makes it sound like a piece of cake that anyone can do.

Because of KZbin and TikTok, vending has become far too saturated as of late. As someone who operates 100 machines as well as a few micro markets, I can tell you that this is a terrible side hustle right now. However, if you're willing to blow past what 99% of people will do, 1 machine here or there at some random apartment complex, and really push through that initial failure, you will see that it is a great career that gives you a ton of flexibility for the income it provides.

Get 5 million people to watch your vending machine video on KZbin, that's how you make 700k per year.

[@XingCollectables]

700k is such a fake ass number that's thrown out there to get people to buy his magic course. I manage over 200 machines over his 100 and gross 700-800k a year. If he's doing 700 on just 100 he's managed to get the best locations and has no duds and that's just not reality in the vending world. Each machine has to make $300 in sales a month which at the median is at least 150 individual sales a month (were talking major factories or production manufacture accounts that get those numbers. Now that's very doable for good accounts but not all accounts. To put things in perspective I fill anywhere from 30-40 machines daily 5 times a week. Thats alot of time and I also put on over 100 miles a day in a box truck that gets 7 miles a gallon of gas. Thats a big expense to consider.

[@XingCollectables]

@DennisBonich thats only gross sales. If u sell 100k a year you might bring home 45k and taxed on that as well. Gas aint cheap and the truck you need to service 100+ machines is only getting you around 6mpg. Then factor in warehouse rent and other expenses like parts for machines etc... 100k sounds fine but its really not when running this kind of business. You're basically living off minimum wage at that point.

I work for a very large corporation whose footprint is from Massachusetts to virginia. They have 1 vending company. There are times where there are 5 spots empty in 1 machine. It takes them anywhere from 1-2 weeks to replenish. Machines appear to be cellular. It's like they just don't care because they have a lock on the corporation

[@LordBort]

Sounds like a ripe time for another company to bid. I can already hear the opening line... "I noticed you have 5 empty slots! How long have they been empty?" 😂

[@XingCollectables]

all machines are cellular for credit. unless the company wants to pay for cables to be run to the machines that's on them this is also not safe for customers as its easier to get the credit card info which is why we use cellular. sounds like you have a shitty vending driver that isn't servicing the machine when they need to. Should be serviced once a week on the same day and if there's still 5 empty slots, they either need to double up product and remove the slow-moving product or they need to make it a twice a week stop. Also, if your corporation is that large, they are 100% getting a commission on the sales which is why the vending company is locked in a contract with them. Likely have a contract of 5 or more years that can't be breached. Also, you got to understand most drivers are payed over 25 and hour to service these machines if they have to drive out of the way to service 1 machine that has 5 slots empty it might not be worth it. There's a lot of cost factors that go into when a machine is serviced. This guy is showing machines that are freshly filled. He 100% has machines with empty slots any given day of the week that's just natural. But it shouldn't be empty for more than a week as every machine that sells out a few columns should be serviced at least once a week on a schedule.

I tried vending machines but sold healthier choices. It was a failure. People want their Coke and Doritos. The vending machine company says they will help u get a location but the goo spots are taken. Location is the most important part and product people want and recognize. Buying an established route is a great idea. You do have to be on call 24/7. You would need a coworker to help. I personally do not recommend this but i made mistakes for sure. Sold the machines at a loss to a guy who knew how to service them. So he just aded to his arsenal.

This is inspirational and motivating.. thanks for this🙏🏿

Glad it was helpful! Were you inspired to start your own vending business? ☺️

@UpFlip I've shared this video with all the people in my circle and we've been brainstorming and coming up with a plan of action for the last 9 hours. This is the most informative and useful video in all of KZbindom, not a single wasted minute. God bless you and Hill Vending for sharing!🙏🏿🙏🏿👑👑

Another cool thing not mentioned is buying equipment used vs new is less risky should the business not pan out (much like buying a 1-3 year old used car with low miles and/or great maintenance vs brand new)

Do you have to pay the business a % of sales?

Did you enjoy the video? Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@JuanAvila-fb5xd]

I definitely want to start this as well. Upflip, y’all want to know what happens?

[@UpFlip]

Yes, please tell us!

[@BarbaraBauer-kx7bz]

You better be willing to put your life into it if you want to do this business, it is extremely sacharated and you have so much competition.

[@UpFlip]

You’re absolutely right-this kind of business demands full commitment, especially with the heavy competition out there. Success comes to those willing to go all in.

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

My Dad has a bunch of money sitting in the bank and I want to take his money and start a business with it. He'd be able to buy new equipment right off the bat and I'd run the business on the weekends until I can quit my job. I'm dead serious about starting this type of business.

[@Krystal_Kitty7]

Do it. Sounds like a good opportunity

Why not? Adam started with the help of his family's money. They believed in his vision, and we hope your family does too. ☺️

[@tamjeanell]

Take half and see if can run it and get profit...

[@ninjaydes]

Go small-scale first to see if anywhere in your community has a demand for this kind of service. The vending machines at my school don't turn profit because the students get free food often & there's a grocery store a short drive away.

[@KidsLearnHTML]

I'm using this video for my business class in conjunction with spreadsheets like the one at 4:13 !

[@Natural-Causes]

Seems like it would be tough to start this simple because most businesses already have a vending company they deal with, and the only way In would be to undercut their prices drastically…🤔

[@donaldlyons17]

Yeah and it needs to be in a high enough traffic area to make this work. And one has to be lucky enough to have the money to be able to afford to be involved in it.

[@UpFlip]

Adam did share his tips on how to get clients without price matching. To learn more about it, please keep on watching! ☺️

[@chicamaravilla1724]

Can you tell us?

[@arkadious9320]

@@donaldlyons17 yeah its bullshit. maybe with a small loan of close to 500k and somehow magically have a lot of prime locations somehow available this could work. . but the reality is there is no market anymore. . and the only way to get in is to buy out someone elses company with its contracts. Which pretty much rules out anyone who already doesn't already have access to a large amount of money to begin with.

[@loblowry6282]

In the past years, many vending machines have been broken into. Cash or no cash won't matter. How do you address this trending problem?

[@gabefirstraised1373]

Can we see the spotlight on some business owners in rural areas?

[@UpFlip]

Great suggestion! Definitely will be on our list. Any particular business topic you want us to cover?

[@shnooky0]

He stated the 50-30-20 rule. If 30% is going to wages, then $50,000 x 12 months x 0.3 = $180,000. Is that split 3 ways? So $60,000 each? $60,000 is not terrible, but I would have thought it would have been better unless this is a side hustle and you have other income streams. Do you make enough for this to be your full time?

[@jaydee6361]

If you're making 60k a month I can promise you that you're filling those machines more than twice a week

[@UpFlip]

They developed a schedule for them to fill the machines. Some machines do well than others. It all depends on the location! ☺️

[@Kentarius]

Sounds like your jealous

[@donaldlyons17]

@@Kentarius No he is asking for an honest assessment.

[@Jry088]

Say it's $1000 per machine every month, and with 100 machines that's $1.2 million per year. 30% of that goes to salary so $360,000. Split that between 3 to 4 employees then it's about $90,000-$120,000. That's pretty good, but it could be less than that if each machine only averages $500 to $700. But if all it takes is two days out of the week, that seems really good.

[@kclmnop4372]

100 machines making 500-1000 a month. Average at 750/month/machine = 75k per month total = 900k / yr 30% take home = 270k. He said he uses that 30% to pay his guys too so he probably keeps 100-120k

[@anonymoususer1824]

​@Kclmnop exactly, which while decent no exactly eye watering. I mean no shade from me,ll good for him, but for me there are other businesses that can net you over 100k that take way less than 8 years to build..

[@operationrepair8579]

The vending machine business is not nearly as good as what people think. These videos are made to make money they never tell you this is extremely difficult to get any locations, stocking and collecting for numerous machines is a almost full time job. The issue is great locations have their own machines, bad locations don't make money and the market is saturated thanks to all the "free knowledge"..... the truth is there is no easy money or looks good in a video, but the reality is much different.

[@UpFlip]

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the vending machine business. It sounds like you have experience in the industry and have found it to be more challenging than some may expect. It is important for individuals to do their own research and gather as much information as possible before deciding to invest in any business. Thanks for taking the time to watch. 😊

[@johng5261]

Well, say you have 700k in gross revenue. Thats still only what? 300k in net profit *before* payroll? How is this a good business?
