How about a simple parking lot litter cleanup service? Yes, it's not sexy but fortunes are being made by ordinary people who are willing to clean up after others. It's almost as easy as going for a walk. The service is performed on-foot with simple hand tools. I started this in 1981 as a side hustle and grew it into a six-figure business of 40+ years!

[@taylorvaughan4554]

Okay but do the math on making 100k from 50 bucks a pop for video editing. That’s like 7.6 videos per day 5 days per week assuming you want days off. As a video editor, if you’re cutting together raw footage that you didn’t shoot it means you’re downloading and pre-watching all of the footage, finding a cohesive cut, color correcting and finding royalty free music, adding text and adding logos/intros etc then uploading and delivering. That’s roughly an hour of work per video if you know what you’re doing. And that’s assuming you’d be able to find an agent who has worked with a videographer who doesn’t edit their own footage. It’s usually a package deal and comes with years of experience and tons of equipment including drones for the shots you’re showing. That’s without the hours it would take to generate your own leads by personalizing emails. I love the information you’re sharing but this isn’t a realistic model if you are looking for high ROI. Most videographers make a decent amount but it comes with years of experience, investment in equipment, and is a hugely competitive industry. There’s not really a world in which you can just find 2000+ pre-filmed videos to edit per year in a couple hours per day. That number isn’t sustainable in this industry. If it’s that easy, the videographer is doing it and working it into their cost. A more realistic model would be to go on fiverr or something and offer up your editing services to videographers. But there’s also already a sea of people doing that.

[@cognitivearchitect]

I think you make some great points but you have to remember 100K a year isn’t made easily. I think you’re shooting yourself down before you’ve even had a chance to get up! Yeah, you’re no videographer but there’s a reason why there’s a sea of them. There’s always competition because people want to hustle. What you have to think more of is: how can I be the best and outsmart everyone else? Your solution of settling for going on fiverr says a lot more about you than what Codie’s advice does.

[@unblindingfaith]

There is NO SUCH THING AS AN HOUR PER VIDEO. It always amounts to 4-7 hours of work usually sorting shots, graphics, animation, and with client back-and-forth making revisions it just doesn't add up. I've advertised in social media every possible way in my local market offering, free-one time incentives. Radio silence. When I worked at different TV stations cutting commercials for lawyers and real estate agents, it took 15 sales people to generate enough work for 2 editors per week. I've been shooting and editing for over 25 years. If its so lucrative, why did Sam hand over his business to go work for someone else. She's not paying him over $100K a year.

[@taylorvaughan4554]

@@cognitivearchitect Oh by all means, waste your time if you have such time to waste. However 100k per year is certainly made easily if you aren’t chasing frivolously under-researched overly optimistic schemes in an overly prosumer saturated market. And you are correct. I’m not a videographer. But I have been. Now I’m a producer. What’s your experience in the industry?

Another Idea 💡 Web design - hire overseas to build the website for less than $1000 charge 5k-10k per project with 20% down up front sign 5 clients made 10k in down payments 40k In invoices waiting to be paid when project is completed AND charge $50-$500 per month for maintenance which can be automated so it’s true passive income Use AI to write contracts and with so many new businesses being started everyday you have an infinite amount of clients

[@aronkerr]

I have run a company in this space for roughly 20 years. I started trying to do what you are describing and quickly found that there are really 2 types of clients. One of them wants a site as cheaply as possible and has a budget of maybe $2-5k. They want the world for that money and you will make nothing. The other wants a full blown agency and has a budget of $50k and up. We now focus exclusively on the later. Don’t chase the small projects or you will go broke competing with overseas companies.

As the owner of a brokerage and the owner of a video production company I have no idea how anyone would be turning a profit offering to shoot videos for $100. Let's assume you already have the $2,000 drone and $1200 iPhone. Let's assume it only takes 30 minutes to drive to a house and get set up. Let's assume it only takes 30 minutes to shoot (unrealistic unless its just drone), then 30 minutes home. Let's assume it only takes 30 minutes to import the footage and the agent makes zero changes to the final product (absolutely unrealistic). Under the most perfect assumptions you've now made $25 per hour. Take out tax, fuel, mileage, insurance...you could have worked at McDonald's for more money and at least got free fries.

[@markmayes6817]

I would consider a non-compete agreement so they cannot steal your clients. Have a contract where they pay you for backing out of your agreement to service the leads. I would use more than one subcontractor and the best subcontractor gets more leads... but I keep searching and trying out subcontractors. ALSO... I would have my best subcontractor do the first couple of jobs for a new client and then I would try out a different contractor on that account. I hope that helps with giving you some ideas.

[@miniaddict4534]

Take the micro greens portion of the video with a grain of salt. Most states require you to get licensed to sell microgreens and even then you might be limited to selling to people in your own state. Since you need to get licensed, you’ll need to invest in your grow facility. Your facility will be under the scrutiny by an inspector. Your license depends on the cleanliness and safety of your nursery. You will have to invest time in making a facility. I should also note some states allow nurseries in residential areas but it varies by state and even local counties. It’s not impossible, but it’s way more time intensive than Codie leads you to believe.

[@bandwagoncaptain]

appreciate you pointing this piece out!

[@cinders302]

Also, microgreens are higher risk because of their susceptibility for bacteria

[@shoptalkbehindthescenes]

I think that best way to start up with low costs is to take inventory of what you already have. Tools, contacts, skills, resources, talents. Put them all on a white board and see where your resources can fulfill a need. Step two make sure your idea fulfills that need. I would make “burner” calls selling my services. I would call businesses outside of my service area to practice my pitch and see what questions come up. Take notes and adjust your pitch and start selling in your area.

For the wedding arch business, it's important to factor in how you will transport your arches to your job sites.

and considering weddings are planned 6-12 months out you can charge a 50%deposit (much of which can pay for the arch, tent or whatever the client is renting) within enough time for you to purchase/ or construct the items needed, so many of the upfront cost is paid 30, 60, 90 days prior to needed delivery

The best thing I did when I started Handyman business was take property management companies as clients. It takes a little longer to get paid and the downside is you have to cover all costs. At the very end of the day it’s a guarantee pay day. I recommend diversify them as a source of a revenue and don’t rely on private customers 100%. It allows me to pick and choose private clients and weed out the difficult customers.

[@Enno72183]

The problem with subcontractors in the service industry is you don't have control over the workers. This can become very problematic and if things go wrong, it's hard to maintain or save the client. It's not a bad idea, but also not a great idea. Codie Sanchez in this video doesn't go over the cons on this issue, I feel if you don't give out the cons you are not being transparent on the window cleaning business idea.

[@relaunchinglife]

That was my concern - it's just not accurate to claim you'll never have to work with the client directly. For that Handyman business for example, which I do think is great. But you will have to handle each of those clients one at a time & make sure the work is done not just properly, but outstandingly well for you to grow. So now you're handling sales, customer service & managing "staff" even if they are outsourced, you'll have to micro manage each job for at least a while because it was done under your business name. It's still a great idea, but all of these are much more work than is being expressed here.

Folks, I can’t stress this enough. Do your homework before starting a business. These KZbinrs mislead people. If you are doing a window cleaning or handy man business, you need to make sure you have the proper insurances if you want to go after businesses. I run a business. I have to have $1 million in liability. That’s about $100 a month. My commercial vehicle insurance for an 8 year old truck is $6700 a year here in Florida :(. And that’s not even counting my trailer. One of the first quotes I got was for over $10k for a year of vehicle insurance. Commercial is very expensive, even if you have a good driving record. As for subcontractors, if you do use them, they have to be insured. If they damage anything at a property, guess whose ultimately responsible, you are. If you are looking to start a business, do your homework. Get quotes and figure out cost involved. Don’t just listen to these KZbinrs with these clickbait videos.

As a florist, I love your ideas on hiring out wedding arches, but your pricing seems to be ... off. For instance, I just checked, and one very basic pop-up marquee that's just a frame and a canvas roof, 6 x 6 metres, is $4,395.00. Your visuals show something about $20 grand, and it would take a lot more than 1 hour to set up, surely. You also need a van or trailer to transport arches or tents. A decorated arch, without flowers, is about $200 to hire. I don't know *how* you'd get $1500 per wedding - without flowers! I really, really want to know, though!

These are great ideas. One issue worth mentioning as it relates to the the wedding rentals...it takes longer than "one hour" to set up a wedding arch and a 20 x 40 tent.

the bad part of the handy man option is that where your example is located (Seattle as am I) does not have a "handy Man" class license for res or commersh jobs. Leaving you to get a Contractors license in either on or two specialty area or a full on General Contractors license, all these require bonds and insurance, hense nearly 10k start up. Im not dogging this list i love the channel and all the info I just live here and have been on this road as I am a carpenter and work loosely around licensed req. projects lol. no insurance\warranty agreement with the client is a good back door!

[@EngrDJDebug]

@codiesanchez, quick question about the video editor gig, so let's say you only charge the client $200.00 USD per video job according to your video you would need at least 50 jobs in order for you to get to the $10,000/month income and you need to to get at least 13 jobs per week or 500 jobs per year in order for you to reach $100,000/year of income, which is a tall task to do every year.

[@islndcalypso911]

This is AMAZING! But seriously, where do unlicensed handymen make $200/hr? Here in San Diego, a licensed contractor is $75-150/hr roughly. Handymen are like $40-75/hr

It shows the value of experience. Micro green do not grow under stairs, there's a whole ecosystem you have to build not just lamps but venterlation.

WE need a truck to carry the ladder, but he biggest problem is getting paid by the people you subcontract to. (Been there done that) This is a situation where we need to collect the cash and get discounts on the service so we hold the money and make sure they schedule the work when the client wants it. Insurance is a big thing too. These people doing the work need to be licensed and bonded and not people standing around at the Home Depot parking lot. In crazy CA here, anything over $300 needs to be a written proposal,

#7 Productised Service (Graphic Design) Some questions: 1. The base charge is $4,995 per month and the number of work hours per month is 168 (* hours a day x 21 days a month, in July 2023 anyway). The implied hourly rate is therefore $29.73 ($4,995/168), Question: why would you list yourself on a site like Upwork which commoditises you, that is lists you as one of countless others all competing on price. I'm looking at Upwork now just in graphic design and seeing hourly rates offered like $5, $7, $10, $15. Further, just in "graphic design", I checked to see how many competitors are listed there. I stopped at page 30, with 10 listings per page, so 300 competitors at the least. Why do you say Upwork is a good place to market when you, first, compete with cut throat pricing and, second, you have sooo many rivals. Even if you get a client, he'll be conditioned to very low prices and many choices. This doesn't seem the kind of client who'll then magically say 'yes' to paying $4,995 upfront. 2. The second place you said market yourself is Twitter. You claimed @BrettFromDJ's tweets are great and that you'd copy them. So I looked up Brett's account. He follows 53 people and have 58,000 followers. When I see figures so imbalanced like this, I become suspicious. You'd have to be a Joe Biden or Donald Trump to have those ratios. So I looked at who he follows. Most are designers like him. Then I looked at his followers. There are an awful lot of profiles there with 0 tweets and 9 or 15 followers. That's the typical profile of a bot. I suspect most of the 58,000 followers have been bought. 3. Finally, how on Earth does a one-man agency generate $1.3 million in revenue annually? Well, that's 22 clients a month paying $4,995 each month, just Upwork to get them started and then Twitter to pull in more. But if each client can have unlimited designs but only one at a time, and let's say it takes 16 hours to turnaround a job, he can only do 10 or 11 jobs a month. That's 10 or 11 jobs for ONE client. He has must have 22 clients. Therefore, it's either not a one-man agency or he outsources all the work. It can't be both, right? If he's a one-man agency as he claims, even if that first client weren't needy and wanted 10 or 11 designs for his $4,995, and instead each client paid $4,995 a month and only claimed one job a month, he could only have 10 or 11 clients, not the 22 needed to reach $1.3 million. So what information aren't you explaining? The information provided does not add up. One top of being super efficient on design work, this guy apparently also markets himself and runs an online course to replicate his "ProductizeYourself" formula.
