How I built a $500,000 Cell Phone Repair Company

[@TerrenceTB]

This gave me more motivation to go harder with my repairs. Just opened a shop in a office location & it’s the first in my city so I’m hoping for success

[@seanmosley9685]

How’s your shop been going man ?

[@29ibrahimsayed95]

how is it going bro

[@juggalo450]

Give us an update we’re curious 👀

[@unwind6451]

Bros dead

[@TerrenceTB]

Nope still here! Going great! I’ve expanded to a new bigger location. About to take up a class this month that’s going to teach me how to do more in depth repairs along with micro soldering.

[@HappySIMCard]

I am 15 years old, my story is literally the same as yours. I fixed my first phone when I was 10 and this last year I realized how profitable it was. Now I am one of the biggest ranked in the city. I buy all my parts out of pocket and its easy money.

[@raphaelramrath304]

Koen Johnson are you still 15 years old? Respect 💪

[@nunomoto8865]

Hey! Is there any way I can contact you?

[@JonathanStrange]

Mad respect brother! Would love to have you on the channel. DM me at @jonathanjstrange

[@anthonyvegaUS]

I just started doing phone repair back in March and already know how to fix iPhone models, and now starting to fix Samsung models. I want to open up my own store soon with how fast my business has grown. Watching this honestly gave me more inspiration

[@mosabtv]

any update

[@p4edato567]

I cant thank you enough for making this video. I am a 16 year old starting in the phone repair business aswell and this video really helped me.

[@socialmediamusicmanager139]

I started at 14 also with computers then mobile phones now I do home reno also salute to u

[@JonathanStrange]

Thanks man! Keep killing it.

[@Sounditoutahhwet]

No offense, but I just had a massive epiphany about all the youtubers selling courses. All the youtubers that are selling courses on how to make money are actually the people that are not making money off of what they are teaching, but actually making money off of selling their courses. Its actually sad. Preying on the weak and vulnerable. The people who are just miserable trying to escape their 9-5 job, but actually just taking more of their money and furthering them from their goals.

[@JonathanStrange]

Yes this is an unfortunate reality. This was one of the reasons why I decided to take my course down.

[@JonathanStrange]

Everyone is trying to take, few are trying to give.

[@kelvinfernandez4058]

it's not just that i hate this clickbait titles of "my phone repair business" where they spend 10 minutes talking about nothing only to pitch their course at the end to learn how to start a repair business

[@natemahler5381]

You should do a day in the life... interacting wuth customers opening etc...

[@JonathanStrange]

[@kurlyrolstart]

Love the phone wall, that's a sick idea!

[@JonathanStrange]

Thanks! We ran out of space long ago.

[@cmtechservice]

Awesome thanks for sharing your journey. Question: I am curious to know, how did you obtain the parts for a repair job in the begining if you had no money?

[@jomiarts6677]

Thanks for sharing. I hope someday.

[@achasilas6535]

Very inspirational. Thank you for being genuine. God bless.

[@JonathanStrange]

Thank you Acha. Love comments like these.

[@mauselioe6838]

Wow nice, I work in repair shop and didn’t know my boss can make that much

[@JonathanStrange]

For every dollar that a small business makes the business owner only gets a small percent of that often between 10-20% of the total revenue. Don't think that just because my business did $500k in one year, that I personally made 500K that year.

[@toliq90]

I loved your wall design.

Thank you!

[@Sounditoutahhwet]

Where did you get your inventory?

[@JonathanStrange]

We source from 100s of suppliers! In recent months we've been attempting to source our own parts directly from manufacturers in China!

[@tmjc4cpm]

How did u get into microsoldering and how did you get the training on it

[@JonathanStrange]

I trained under an industry legend in the cell phone repair community after a few years of just doing modular repairs. Truth be told the best way to start is just by practicing yourself.

[@TedrickDotson]

Great video, thanks 💪

[@JonathanStrange]

[@raysfonexchange]

Well done dude! Where do you advertise?

[@JonathanStrange]

Word of mouth is always going to be your biggest success in this industry, but Search Engines are great too. Do you currently do SEO for your business?

[@datech-basesolutions8637]

Do u offer warranty for device that u are working on it go bad ?

[@JonathanStrange]

PhoneBase Yes absolutely! We offer a 6 month warranty on all of our repairs.

[@Shunx06]

Where do/did you get the parts?

[@JonathanStrange]

100s of suppliers! Primarily china unfortunately.

[@Strayaboomboom]

IM 13 and the problem is when they see and or hear me they usually don't want me to do it cause I do logo design and want to start cellphone flipping and repair so yeah :(

[@shaolongchen]

Hello I’m 15 and idk where should I start to learn? Like how do u learn when u were 14?

[@JonathanStrange]

Yes I'll do a video on that today! Stay posted.

[@GamerAndFunkocollector49]

Hey Jonathan I own a small repair shop and it's doing well I wish one day I can grow it like you did, I was hope to get a bit of knowledge on buying cellphones and reaching the right provider I don't know if you can help me such a petition if u can. I would gladly appreciate it , thank you

[@nikhil-kulkarni]

I have my doubts about this man. How can a 14-year-old boy know about ICs and PCBs? And he built a web site at 14? It still takes lot of maturity to learn about electronics and web development. Even if I assume that he was brilliant, it is very difficult to earn that much money out of repairing. I have talked to technicians and they told me that the market isn't so huge to make you 6-figure income per year.
