How to start your own shed business and make great money. Great part time business

[@matthewcorica9535]

Hey john. Great idea and congratulations with your success. It’s great to see you are giving back to the community by sharing a simple business plan that can profit well. I honestly had chills watching your video where you were at Home Depot scoping out the sheds because I literally did the same thing and built my own shed which was much stronger. I’m looking forward to receiving your videos.

[@permaguard3166]

I hate it when people say they’re giving back to the community as if he took something that didn’t belong to him.

[@speedygonzalez2381]

This video is a gem.💎

Great video! I plan on building sheds on the side.

Hey man how is that going for you

[@ilovepizza8263]

did u ever do it?

[@ejmerritt1543]

Hey John, first off thank you for sharing your knowledge! I'm a life long carpenter and have been wanting to do this for so long but I can't find the work to keep me busy, I may get 1 a month if that but I do HVAC full time and did hard scaping/landscaping for 12 years B4 that and I'm 33 now and this seems like a great idea if I could stay busy but I'm about to head over to your website now and really hope to be in contact with you asap!

I own a solar installation business and I think I am going to start building sheds along side of doing solar to keep money coming in. I look foward to learning more from you!

Hey Robert thank you for your interest in my shed building business course. I am putting the finishing touches on the videos and should have them to you in a week or so. I think you will find them very informative. Talk soon, John

Excellent video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at last got excellent success with it.

[@elerre3339]

Hello Mr Fealy. What type of foundation do you use for your sheds? Great video !

[@shedbusiness]

Hello, We level our sheds off on 4” solid concrete blocks. We do that so the floor structure does not have contact with the ground. Thanks

[@sebastiensmarth3479]

Just got fired from the best construction job I ever had.... building shed attachments to double wides. I pray I can duplicate this.

[@Temo00]

Hey John, nice video by the way. I really appreciate the info you share with us. Quick question, do you need any certification or license to start this. I’m willing to start this journey and the course you offer. Thanks

[@davidcuba2487]

I live in the Miami, FL area. It seems that you need a permit to install a shed in just about every precinct down here. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, it doesn't seem like a viable easy business to start here unless you're set up with or as a contractor.

[@RefugioD-g9j]

This is awesome I’m all ears

[@hudsonsoul1121]

In the the uk you be lucky to make a£100 on your own as timbers are too expensive to compete against companies that buy discounted bulk.

[@shedbusiness]

Lumber has increased for all builders. Selling prices have gone up proportionally so the result has actually made us in the business even more profit. I have never been busier over the past few years. There is a saying “If you think you can’t or you think you can, your are absolutely right.

[@chrisE815]

Wow- Selling sheds on LI! Must be a pain dealing with the permits, setbacks and all that drama! Great video though, thanks for sharing your shed business experience.

[@shedbusiness]

Thanks Chris, it’s not so bad because there are 3 million people living here so that’s a lot of homes needing sheds.

Hello John, my name is Austin, I am a 24 year old college student, veteran, and husband studying construction science and management at K-State University. I dream of one day being a residential builder, but for now I want to just get some experience with customers, business management and confidence that comes from experience. I am excited to watch your 4 part video series, as I just signed up on your website, thanks for the info! You earned a subscriber!

[@fabiod9965]

are you adding labor to material costs. so the 1754 is your labor cost which you call profit. What about costs like fuel, phones, trucks, insurance, data charges. is this all free.

[@shedbusiness]

I am showing the gross profit from a shed build. The shed is a product that once built can produce a profit from 50% up to 70%. Of course running a business has a built in set of expenses that will be paid from the gross profits from the sheds you build. The key in making a good living is being able to build them super fast in one day and that’s what my Shed Academy course teaches. www.shedbusiness.com

[@torrancejones7294]

Hey how do I advertise if I don't have any sheds already built?

[@shedbusiness]

My program comes complete with an image bank of hundreds of shed pictures that you can use for ads.

[@GreenLeafWoodwork]

Awesome!

[@ignatiusreilly8280]

Is this still viable with today's lumber prices? Has anyone in the comments tried building sheds for money? I'm very interested in the work, but ...not sure I would be able to compete with the rent-to-own shed companies.

[@shedbusiness]

I make a great living building sheds. I am usually booked out two months and sometimes have to turn work away because I am so backed up. My program teaches people how to start a shed building business and I have had over 350 people enroll and start their own businesses. You should sign up for my free workshop.

Hey Rusty, It will depend on the state you live in. I live in NY and any service that needs to do work at customers homes needs a license. Not sure if you signed up for my free business workshop but if not here is the link www.shedbusiness.com

[@christianesteban3734]

Hey joe

[@bigtime432]

can you really build a shed in a day? I heard it’s impossible

[@hudsonsoul1121]

Not impossible, but probably a simple small shed. I made a 6x4 apex in 5 hours and l made a 7x5 pent in 3 1/2 hours. However l am a carpenter but currently make sheds in a joinery shop.

[@MikeS-lf9bp]

I have done it. If all the materials are there and its a simple build, and no tools break, if you do it right and only handle everything once, yes. easily can be done. But its a fast pace. It took me several years to get to that point working with another company. I will say that a CAD program or buying blueprints is really the only way to have this accomplished. Or i guess you could draw them but my point is all angles, cuts have to be figured out prior to the build day. So technically its not only a day if you draw the prints before hand. But there are a few tricks of the trade that I have learned and I do not mind sharing either.

[@hudsonsoul1121]

It's worth investing in a roofing calculator if the angles are troublesome for some, but they are many easy ways to work roofs out quickly.

[@joshdaily4548]

Doesn't make since u make 60 percent that doesn't add up material is 1000 u keep 600 how is that 1700 profit

[@joshdaily4548]

600 profit

[@shedbusiness]

I said a 60% profit margin means that you will make $600 for every $1000 of sales. With that calculation if you sell an 8x12 shed for $2900 your profit would be $1740.

[@claytonblunt5752]

How do you keep your materials costs so low!? For a 10x12 I couldn’t come close to buying the materials for $1258. I can barely buy them for $1800-$2000.

[@shedbusiness]

The video that you watched us a few years ago so of course prices have changed. My current cost of material for 10x12 would be more in the $1600 range.

Constructive feedback - Great video/content, but please learn to edit a little! There's a solid 8 minutes of content that can be removed with you repeating yourself etc :) More concise and to the point will significantly increase viewer retention.

Thanks for the advice. I know it’s not fantastic but I think that was actually the first video I had posted on KZbin and like everything in life you get much better at things when you do it over and over. Since I posted this video I’ve had over 300 people sign up for my Shed Academy course so something is working. I think it works because although it’s not pretty the message has a bunch of value. All the best.
