00:00What are the least risky businesses that anybody can start?
00:03No business can have zero risk,
00:05but there are three things that can decrease your risk a time.
00:08You start the business in a weekend.
00:10Two, it costs you less than a thousand bucks to start.
00:12And three, it could be a really big business if you scale this bad boy.
00:15In this video, I'm going to break down seven businesses
00:17to see if they meet this criteria,
00:19starting with the most risky, going to the least risky,
00:21and the one that you can scale.
00:22Just wait until the last two.
00:24You'll have no excuse not to try something.
00:27First one, dumpster rentals.
00:29You've seen these bad boys outside people's houses
00:31when they're doing construction?
00:33They pay 400 to 500 bucks for 14 days to rent these,
00:36and you could be the one renting them to them.
00:39What is starting up take?
00:40So you buy a dumpster, and you decide what size.
00:4210 yards, 15 yards.
00:44They cost anywhere from 3K to 6K, depending on size,
00:46and where you get it, where you're located.
00:48Then you have a truck and a trailer
00:49that can comfortably haul your size of dumpster.
00:51Costs of the big truck could be as much as 125K.
00:54I might rent it.
00:55If your dumpsters are smaller,
00:56you can get by with a pickup and a roll-off trailer,
00:59which will likely add to 10 to 20K
01:01to each used truck and trailer.
01:03I'd start with just renting one out.
01:05I'd do this on the cheap with less risk.
01:07Now, marketing.
01:08Free to start with something basic,
01:10like Facebook Marketplace,
01:11then scale with SEO, ads, et cetera.
01:13Can you start in a weekend?
01:15Yes, but that means you're putting in the work
01:16and not a bunch of other people.
01:18You've got to be willing to deliver the dumpsters,
01:20have the cash, and do a bunch of logistical work,
01:23not to mention selling it.
01:24Number two, how much startup cost is this going to take?
01:27And what do you lose if you fail?
01:29Well, you can start with one dumpster
01:30and wait until it pays for itself
01:32for you to buy your next one.
01:33That's what I'd do.
01:34If you fail, you lose the cost of the dumpster,
01:37the truck, and the trailer if you're renting it.
01:39You've probably spent around 4K on the dumpster,
01:41but could sell it back to someone
01:42to recoup at least half of the cost.
01:44If you've purchased the truck or trailer,
01:46you're in a little deeper.
01:47You'd likely finance something
01:49and are out a lot more time and frustration.
01:51So let's take baby steps.
01:54Can you spend 1,000 or less
01:55before you start being profitable or making money?
01:57No, you're probably going to spend closer to 5K minimum
02:00to get the business off the ground
02:01unless you do complete pre-orders
02:03without owning anything.
02:04Now, all of this makes this business
02:05one of the quote-unquote riskier ones in our list,
02:08but is there a potential to scale big?
02:11Yes.
02:11This guy owns an established dumpster rental company.
02:14Here's what happened.
02:15He bought five 20-yard dumpsters.
02:18It cost him $23,500.
02:19He anticipates they'll pay for themselves
02:22within one month because he's got a lot of demand.
02:24By this math, it could take 20 dumpsters
02:26plus the labor, hauling capacity, and marketing scale
02:30to hit 1 million in revenue for one year.
02:32Do we believe in?
02:33Should we ask some questions and get some receipts
02:35and maybe do a video on this?
02:36Let us know.
02:36Because I think this dumpster rental
02:38would pair really well as a good add-on business
02:41for number four, which has less risk.
02:43But if dumpster diving isn't really your thing,
02:46you might like this next biz a little bit better.
02:48Pallets, yes, these little wooden guys,
02:50they have a $31 billion U.S. economic impact.
02:53There is definitely a business in here,
02:55and wait until we break this down.
02:56It took us all of three minutes to find a place
02:58where they have leftover discarded pallets
03:01that they are going to need to either get rid of
03:03or have somebody come pick up.
03:06I bet this place doesn't have a commercial contract,
03:08and this is an exactly perfect target for you.
03:11Especially, look at some of these.
03:13Some of these pallets are pretty beat up.
03:14This is not going to be reusable very often,
03:17so you could use our refurb model really fast.
03:20Number one, what does startup take?
03:23There are two types of scavenger businesses in this realm.
03:27Number one is reselling.
03:30So 1.8 to 1.9 billion pallets are in circulation in the U.S.
03:34When a big store or warehouse gets deliveries,
03:36they throw the pallets to the side,
03:37and they become like expensive waste for most companies
03:40that they have to go pay to get rid of.
03:42These are plant nurseries, hardware stores,
03:44construction companies,
03:45not giant stores like Walmart.
03:47They already have pallet contracts,
03:49but these smaller guys need somebody like you.
03:51I love this business
03:52because you are not holding the pallets for inventory,
03:55so this can be a great side hustle
03:56to grow into a business for a beginner.
03:58The beautiful part about this business
03:59is you go directly and grab the pallets,
04:03then you go and sell them directly to these guys,
04:05so there's no period of you holding the inventory.
04:08You have what's called zero amount of float in inventory,
04:12no money that you have to spend on it.
04:13Really interesting model.
04:15This is where we get to the second type
04:16of the pallet business,
04:17not scavenge, but salvage.
04:2060% of lumber used in the U.S. is pallets.
04:24Isn't that wild?
04:24So even broken pallets are valuable.
04:26You can fix damaged pallets to resell,
04:29or you can dismantle old pallets
04:31to sell as cheap salvage wood for local crafters.
04:33You could even go and make something out of them,
04:36like these tables and chairs that people do.
04:38If you go the resell route,
04:39you'll need a truck and a trailer to haul the pallets,
04:42local businesses with an excess of pallets,
04:45a local pallet yard that will buy pallets off you
04:48at a profit.
04:48So if you go the salvage route,
04:50you're also going to need a place
04:52to store the pallets you collect,
04:54the time, effort, ability to break down
04:56or fix the pallets,
04:57and if you're reselling the salvage wood,
04:59you also need to find customers to buy this wood.
05:02Can you do it all on a weekend?
05:03Yeah, I think you can.
05:04As long as you got a truck
05:05or can borrow one from a friend,
05:07you can plan and execute this business within a weekend.
05:10Also, you gotta be willing to go direct.
05:12You gotta find the consumers
05:13and you gotta find the resellers.
05:15Number two, can you spend a thousand or less
05:17before you start being profitable?
05:18Yes, especially if you already have a truck.
05:20If you need to buy one, different story,
05:22but I believe in your creativity.
05:23If you start this and fail,
05:24what I like about it is there's not a ton you can lose
05:27because you're not putting a lot into it to start.
05:29Is there a potential to scale?
05:30Hmm, this is where I concern myself a little bit here.
05:33I don't think using the scavenger model,
05:35I think you can make a couple hundred thousand dollars.
05:37I don't know about millions,
05:38but there is another model you could try.
05:41If you do want to scale,
05:42you'd have to start a pallet leasing company like this guy.
05:45And there are many companies like this
05:46that are of big size across the country.
05:48But it's unlikely that you as a beginner
05:50will have logistical chops to succeed on this
05:53or be able to get those big commercial contracts.
05:55So if you want something more simple
05:56that can start smaller, try this next one.
05:59This business is actually fascinating.
06:01Paint striping.
06:03You have no idea how much money these guys make.
06:06Great business.
06:07I don't know if it's just all women
06:08that are terrible parkers or me.
06:10Don't hate me in the comments.
06:11But it turns out there's a pretty big business here
06:13to make sure that in commercial parking lots,
06:16there are lines and no chaos ensues.
06:18Let's break down how much money these guys actually make.
06:20So if you want to start out,
06:21this is ideal for a one-person team.
06:23You can start really small, do small little strip centers like this.
06:27You could even probably make a pretty penny on paddleboards
06:29like all these athletes are doing.
06:34What does the startup take?
06:35Well, the equipment, painted roller.
06:37You got to find the customers.
06:38This is harder than most of the businesses on this list.
06:41But if you can find them, they're very sticky
06:43and they're recurring.
06:44And here's how I would do it.
06:45I would pay for leads on Angie List to start.
06:48I would cold call paving companies
06:49and I would build relationships with contracts.
06:52Then just be so reliable that they become repeat customers,
06:56which candidly is not that hard in the trades.
06:58Answer your phone, show up on time,
06:59do your job as quickly and efficiently as possible.
07:02Don't be drunk.
07:02Now, tip, ask for referrals from existing clients
07:05to get more customers.
07:06This video made my company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
07:09You should watch it.
07:10Number two, can it be done in a weekend?
07:11It's possible, but unlikely to get customers that quickly.
07:15Probably one of the harder ones to do quickly,
07:17unless you cold call like a crazy person
07:19and then I do think you can.
07:20Now, how much does this startup cost?
07:22And what do you lose if you fail?
07:24I think you can spend a thousand bucks here
07:26to start this business.
07:27So let's say that you're going to do it one single stripe.
07:30Well, that costs six bucks.
07:33Let's say you do a double stripe
07:34on both sides of the parking lot.
07:35That's eight bucks.
07:37Let's say you're going to do a new layout entirely.
07:40That's 10 bucks.
07:41One day you can make anywhere from,
07:44with the right amount of jobs,
07:45on average, four to $6,000, not bad.
07:48What's the profit margin?
07:49How much do you take home?
07:50Well, if it's just you doing the work
07:52and running the business,
07:53this is like a 50% margin business,
07:56which is pretty interesting of a deal.
07:58There's sort of two ways to do it.
08:00The really cheap route with a quick trip
08:02to Home Depot for a few supplies,
08:04and you could have the equipment you need
08:05to get started for under 50 bucks.
08:07Let's go crazy and say under 500.
08:09All you need is a couple of paint rollers
08:11and extension pole, painter's tape.
08:13This isn't going to get you huge commercial contracts,
08:15but might get you some small residential ones like this.
08:18But if you have a bit more,
08:20I'd invest in a new paint striping machine.
08:22Still not crazy expensive,
08:23but will make you much quicker,
08:25which equals more revenue.
08:27I would probably do that
08:28after I've already pre-sold a few clients.
08:30So yes, you can be profitable
08:31spending less than a thousand bucks.
08:33In fact, just one job
08:35could have you making your money back and more.
08:37I kind of think we should try this.
08:38What do you guys think?
08:39Comment paint.
08:40Now, is there a potential to scale big?
08:42Yes.
08:43Yes, it will require hiring a lot of people though.
08:45Take Jacob.
08:46He's in the perfect position to start scaling.
08:48Jacob's making $700 an hour
08:49doing a job that you don't need a college degree for.
08:52Okay, lots of jobs these days
08:54you probably don't need one for.
08:55He gets two or more jobs,
08:57depending on the season.
08:58Definitely not during the winter if it's snowing.
09:00Let's call it 3,500 in revenue per job
09:03with two jobs a week.
09:05That's 500 to $750 for expenses for each job
09:09since he does them largely by himself
09:11and includes the gas and paint.
09:12That means 15 to 25K a month or more he's making.
09:16I'm loving those numbers.
09:17I think there is definitely potential
09:19to turn this into a business
09:20and start employing others.
09:21You get a CRM, automated invoices,
09:23and a professional website,
09:24and you could have a scalable business
09:26on your hand like this.
09:28How do you scale?
09:29Scale comes from more customers.
09:31And so for all these businesses,
09:32how do you get more customers fast?
09:34You dominate your local SEO with a killer website.
09:37To scale one of these businesses,
09:39the main thing that you need is more customers.
09:42When you're scaling a business,
09:43you already need to learn finance, ops, sales, hiring.
09:46Do you also want to spend tons of time
09:48designing your website
09:49or God forbid becoming a coder?
09:51I'm going to pass on that,
09:53and you can too if you use Hostinger.
09:54So Hostinger AI Website Builder
09:57creates a fully professional website
09:58in seconds with the help of AI.
10:00Just describe what you're after,
10:01and the AI will get it done for you.
10:03When I launched my first business,
10:05taking it online was a pain for me,
10:07especially because I started in finance.
10:08So I just had this wish that this has been around.
10:12One of my favorite things about Hostinger
10:14is that its e-commerce tools
10:16come with 0% transaction fees,
10:18something you don't see every day,
10:19which means all the profits go straight to you.
10:21Now, let's talk costs.
10:23Plans start at $2.99 a month.
10:25That's $2.99.
10:26And you get a free domain,
10:27an email to give your business a professional look,
10:29tons of cutting-edge security
10:31to help rank high on Google
10:33and a bunch of AI tools
10:34that will end up saving you even more money
10:36on copywriters and designers.
10:37If you head to Hostinger.com
10:39slash Cody number 10,
10:42so Cody 10,
10:42and use code Cody 10,
10:44the number 10,
10:45you can save an extra 10% off.
10:47Because I got you.
10:48If I get a deal, you get a deal.
10:49Remember that first business we talked about,
10:50dumpster rental?
10:51How about a service-based version of this?
10:54Trash hauling.
10:55You throw a bunch of junk in there,
10:56and then you get your business rolling.
10:57And let's break it down.
10:59To get started,
10:59all you really need is a truck,
11:01a trailer,
11:02and a way to get customers.
11:03Now, I probably would require a truck
11:05that actually ran,
11:06but I would rent all of these bad boys to start.
11:08I probably wouldn't buy it.
11:10And a trailer like that might be expensive
11:12if you were able to buy it new,
11:13but rent it used,
11:15buy it used,
11:16and then you're off to the races.
11:17The question is,
11:18can you start it in a weekend?
11:20My answer is yes.
11:21It's going to mean the most important thing,
11:23that you figure out how to get customers.
11:24Driving around one area of Austin,
11:26I have found a ton of things
11:28that you should use as junk removal potential.
11:31You can get the bare bones up and running quickly,
11:33especially if you do something like they did,
11:34which is go after college students,
11:36for instance.
11:36Very specific niche.
11:38Now, how much does the startup cost,
11:39and what do you lose if you fail?
11:41Can you spend $1,000 or less
11:42before you start being profitable?
11:44Yeah, I think you probably can.
11:46Is there a potential to scale big?
11:47Yes, if you expand your model slightly.
11:50Here's how I would do it.
11:51Use the money from your first few months of jobs
11:53to buy a bigger truck,
11:54a trailer, and or a dumpster,
11:56or do that if you were renting it the first time.
11:58Bonus, revenue once you establish this business.
12:00You buy more dumpsters to rent out
12:02all of the first business in the list,
12:04now with less risk because you have more revenue.
12:06If you want to find more ways
12:08to get partnerships and clients,
12:10I would partner with furniture stores.
12:12People buying new furniture
12:13would love to get rid of old furniture
12:14at the same time.
12:16Property managers who need to help clearing out
12:18rentals after messy tenants.
12:19Facility maintenance managers
12:21who need help with extra junk or debris
12:23around their dumpsters.
12:24Now, once you're consistently booked,
12:26start building a team
12:27and buy more equipment as you can.
12:28That's business 101.
12:29Let's talk about a really specific case study.
12:32So these guys started college hunks
12:34and they started a summer job for the founders.
12:37They made 8K in the first summer in 2003.
12:40They're now franchised at 150 locations across the US
12:43and made 145 million in revenue in 2020.
12:46That's system-wide revenue.
12:47This one, number five, courier.
12:50Now, everyone's heard of DoorDash, Uber Eats, Postmates,
12:52but what you may not know
12:53is there's a similar service
12:54that's often fulfilled by small businesses
12:56for small businesses,
12:58and it could be you that does it.
12:59What does the startup take?
13:01A courier business can be flexible
13:02to what's best for you in your area.
13:04For instance, New York City,
13:06bike courier, urban,
13:07limited scaling, big cabs, I guess.
13:10Special delivery, this is like hazardous materials,
13:13climate-controlled goods, medical supplies, premium.
13:15Van truck deliveries, most common, most flexible,
13:18more scalable.
13:19And then a highly logistical business it is.
13:22So your profit is actually determined
13:24by how efficient you are with your space and routes.
13:26So can you start it in a weekend?
13:28I don't actually think you can.
13:29I don't think you can start
13:30a commercial courier business in a weekend.
13:32You could buy one in a weekend.
13:34And if you guys wanna learn how to do that
13:36and go into more depth,
13:37you could click this link below.
13:39That's probably what I would do.
13:40I would buy a UPS route.
13:41I would buy a FedEx route.
13:43I would buy an Amazon route.
13:45And then you could launch this very quickly
13:48because you'd jump right into it.
13:50But if I was to start individually,
13:52I think maybe you could do it this way,
13:54which is TaskRabbit.
13:55You could go and make money on TaskRabbit
13:58by couriering things back and forth.
14:00And in between you making money that day,
14:03let's say your first couple hundred bucks
14:05on TaskRabbit,
14:05that I would be reaching out
14:07to every single furniture store
14:09that I could find.
14:11And I would probably have
14:12some sort of business card
14:13that talked about the fact
14:13that I courier things back and forth.
14:15Do you guys need anything?
14:16Can I handle anything?
14:17Because the key to making this a business,
14:19not you being a glorified Uber,
14:21is commercial contracts,
14:23not you doing this for individuals.
14:25You could set up something for individuals
14:27like in your neighborhood,
14:28but then we're talking to like a SaaS marketplace
14:30and they aren't reoccurring customers,
14:32so I don't love that idea.
14:33Can you spend less than a thousand bucks
14:35before you start being profitable?
14:38Theoretically, if you do the TaskRabbit way,
14:39yes, low startup costs,
14:41but the real risk is in insurance,
14:43driving a personal car,
14:45being responsible for safe deliveries.
14:47Is there a potential to scale big?
14:48Yeah.
14:49If I was to take this business to six figures,
14:51I'd build partnership with other local businesses.
14:53I'd have common companies that need couriers,
14:56so like printing companies,
14:57delivering time-sensitive print jobs,
15:00accounting firms for documents there
15:02with legal and financial institutions,
15:04retail companies from warehouse to supplier to store,
15:07but I would layer on top of this,
15:09really importantly, some sort of acquisition.
15:12I would probably look to buy,
15:13using the profits of the business,
15:16an Amazon, a UPS, or a FedEx route.
15:18That last mile delivery
15:19is the most expensive part of every business.
15:21I think you can get to six figures,
15:23sort of cobbling this together.
15:24To get to seven figures,
15:25you'd really have to include a fleet of trucks.
15:28So here's a case study on how you could do that.
15:31Like this company, which is called Hot Shot.
15:33They contract out drivers who have their own vehicles,
15:36and they offer customer services
15:37at every step of logistics.
15:39Express delivery, final mile delivery, warehousing.
15:43So I think when people think,
15:45hey, I'm Ubering or I'm task-rabbinging,
15:47it's gonna go nowhere,
15:48I just want you to think one step bigger than that,
15:50which is how is this job that I'm doing right now
15:52a stepping stone to create a company
15:55or a stepping stone to buying one?
15:57That's where the real money's made.
15:58This next one's kind of a f***ing idea,
16:00but it takes less than 100 bucks to start,
16:03and I think if you do it in the right neighborhoods,
16:04you can make a lot.
16:05Pest waste removal.
16:07These lovely little things that,
16:09are they friendly?
16:10I'm not really sure.
16:11These lovely little things that are man's best friend,
16:13they also do a lot of this.
16:16We're here to remove that.
16:17And this one, I think, costs less than 100 bucks
16:19to start up, just a little bit of your pride.
16:21But I think you might be shocked
16:22at how much you might be able to make.
16:24So let's talk about pet waste removal.
16:26How much does a startup cost,
16:28and what do you lose if you fail?
16:29Can you spend 1,000 or less
16:30before you start being profitable?
16:32Yes.
16:33Luckily, you're not losing out on much
16:35if you fail at this business.
16:37Is there a potential to scale big?
16:38I'm not so sure on this one.
16:40I'd love to be proven wrong.
16:42I need one of y'all to make a million dollars,
16:44shoveling you know what,
16:45so I can come back and say I was wrong about this.
16:47But I think the scalable part of this business
16:50is really in figuring out additional services
16:53you could sell them.
16:55Here's a real company.
16:57This one's called Duty Calls,
16:58and it's actually a franchise.
17:00Please pick up the poop so she can practice outside.
17:03I'll put it on the to-do list.
17:04Now, I can see real franchise numbers
17:06from something called the FDD,
17:07so I can actually see how much money they make.
17:09And it looks like some of their top-performing franchisees
17:12can make a million dollars shoveling pet waste.
17:16I think you'd probably have to do a lot of it, though.
17:18If I was going to figure out this type of company,
17:20how would I scale it?
17:22Well, one, I'd want to do partnerships.
17:24So I'd be looking for who are other people
17:26that service dog owners.
17:28I'd want to have cards at veterinary clinics.
17:31I'd want to have cards at dog washers,
17:34especially maybe remote washers.
17:36I'd want to find people who are in higher income levels
17:39because surely young Cody would never pay somebody
17:42to go and pick all that stuff up.
17:44Now, I actually might.
17:46I'd probably also want to partner with landscaping companies
17:48and say, hey, I'll refer to you more landscaping clients
17:50if you'll refer to me people
17:52who need their pet waste picked up beforehand.
17:55You could also give a cut to all of these people.
17:57And I think part of that
17:59is probably their marketing strategy overall.
18:01In a world in which we're busier than ever,
18:03we have less time than ever,
18:04we love our dogs,
18:05but we had to go back to work after COVID,
18:07this business is kind of interesting.
18:09Also, weird business.
18:11If you don't want to deal with,
18:12you know what, from the last one,
18:14then I think this one might be for you.
18:16In fact, this one could be used
18:18for every business we've talked about.
18:19It's my favorite little secret hack.
18:21Lead gen for service businesses.
18:23Let's look at cleaning as a case study.
18:24Let's say you like the idea of window cleaning,
18:26but you don't want to be on a ladder 10 hours a day.
18:29Then say hello to remote cleaning,
18:30aka providing names to cleaning company.
18:33So what is this business?
18:34Every single business needs clients and cashflow, right?
18:37The problem with most businesses
18:39is that they don't have enough of them.
18:41In fact, the number one killer of businesses
18:43is that they can't bring in enough revenue.
18:45So what if you can solve that problem to them?
18:48Imagine you're a small business owner
18:49and somebody comes to you and says,
18:51I have like 10 people who want to use your service.
18:53Can I give them to you?
18:55What are you going to say?
18:55You're like, yes.
18:57Like, would you pay me a percentage
18:58of what you make on them if I gave them to you?
19:01They would also say, yeah, depending on how much.
19:03Well, there's an entire business model on this
19:05that not very many people talk about.
19:07What startup cost would this have?
19:09Well, basically zero.
19:11This business, you're not going to buy any equipment.
19:13You're not going to buy any labor.
19:14You're not going to do anything except go and drive sales.
19:17Can you start this business in a weekend?
19:18Yes, if you're willing to do the work.
19:20You're going to need to drive the sales,
19:21but we're going to show you how to do that.
19:23Totally can start this business in a weekend.
19:24Can you start this business with less than $1,000?
19:27Yeah, you totally can.
19:28And I'm going to show you how.
19:29Lastly, potential to scale.
19:31Yes, you can.
19:32In fact, there's billion dollar businesses that do this,
19:34like Angie's List in many ways.
19:36But we're going to skip the whole SaaS marketplace thing
19:38because that's pretty hard.
19:39Here's how I would scale any lead gen business in a weekend.
19:42It starts like this.
19:43You start from the center.
19:44You work your way out.
19:45First, if I was going to find a lead gen business,
19:47what would I need to do?
19:48I would need to go and find a few companies
19:50who said that they would pay me if I drove them leads.
19:52So first, I would start and make sure that I cornered a market.
19:55I would reach out to every single one of the businesses
19:58in a service I think I could sell people on.
20:00By their Google listings,
20:02I'd probably pick the ones below the top three or four.
20:04They're probably not as busy.
20:05So let's say we're going to do it in landscaping.
20:07I'd reach out to the third or fourth business on Google reviews.
20:11Doesn't have a ton of reviews,
20:13but has some positive reviews
20:14because you don't want to send your friends to a terrible company.
20:17Then I'd reach out to four or five of them
20:19until some of them told me that they would, in fact,
20:21pay me for my leads.
20:22I'd ask them for a percentage of the lead.
20:24Let's call it 10 to 20%.
20:25We'll see what they say.
20:26I might actually ask them for a flat fee
20:28so that I don't have to chase money.
20:29I give you these leads.
20:30Will you pay for them if they close?
20:32Yes.
20:32Once I've found that,
20:34I'm going to go outside of the circle a little bit.
20:36I'm going to go to my friends and family and say,
20:37hey, I started this new business
20:38where I'm working with a landscaping company.
20:41Would you be open to working with this landscaping company?
20:44Do you need any help?
20:45We'll beat any offer that you have.
20:46We'll be similarly priced to anything else you have.
20:48Would you do it?
20:49Then I'd go a little wider.
20:50I'd go around a neighborhood
20:51and I'd door knock around the whole neighborhood
20:53until I found a cluster of people
20:55who all needed the service.
20:56And then I would give that to the landscaping company.
20:58I would basically get more and more tech-based
21:01the broader that I went.
21:02So at some point, I'm making Instagram content.
21:05I'm doing PPC ads.
21:06I'm doing partnerships.
21:08But to start,
21:09because I just want to make it in the weekend,
21:10I'm going to use my little fingers.
21:12I'm going to use my ears
21:13and I'm going to use my feet.
21:15And that is how I would scale this business to start.
21:17Afterwards, you can turn this into a machine
21:19once you understand what's called acquisition,
21:21especially online.
21:23Most small businesses have no idea how to get customers
21:26and are so busy just trying to fulfill
21:29the services that they have
21:30that they can't go out and get new customers.
21:33And that's where you come in.
21:34All right, let's sexy this up a little bit.
21:36Let's say you don't want to do lead gen.
21:37You don't want to do boring business.
21:38You're like, give me something artsy, hipster, cool.
21:41I want to be able to paint my name
21:42on the side of the building.
21:44Actually, speaking of paint your name
21:45on the side of the building,
21:46this is a mural that I paid $1,200
21:48for somebody to do for me.
21:50And it got me thinking.
21:51There are murals all over Austin just like this
21:54where people actually leave their Instagram handle
21:56on the end of it like a business card
21:57and to get kind of known all over the internet.
22:00Why don't we cover one of these bad boys?
22:02If you guys help me get this video to a million views,
22:04I will tell you every single step
22:06to create a mural business
22:07and I'll find someone who did exactly that.
22:09So make sure you share and like this video.
22:11I think there are mainstream millionaires
22:12out there all over the place,
22:14not just doing the boring things,
22:15but doing the really beautifully artistic things.
22:18Let's find them.
22:19See you next week.
