The #s behind my vending machine business:

• 102 machines
• $100k/month revenue
• $65,000/month in profit

& I started 5 years ago with 0 experience.

Here's the exact system I used:

Step 1: Find the right locations.

I don't chase flashy spots. I look for one thing: full parking lots.

If the parking lot's full, there's foot traffic. And foot traffic equals sales.

My best performers are in places most people overlook:

• Manufacturing plants
• Medical office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Employee break rooms

Step 2: Lead with value, not revenue share.

90% of my locations don't pay me a dime in rent.

Here's why:

I position my machines as luxury amenities, not vending machines.

When I walk into that office building, I'm solving a problem:

"Your employees are spending 30 minutes driving to get a $5 sandwich. What if they could grab one downstairs in 30 seconds?"

In the last 60 years, obesity rates in America have gone from 13% to 42%.

Everyone thinks it’s due to:

• Food
• Mental health
• Lack of physical activity

So I did a deep dive to find out what’s really been going on…

Here’s what I found:

In 1960, 13% of Americans were obese.

Today? Over 42%.

This isn't about willpower.

It's a broken system designed to keep you sick.

What changed?

The human genome didn't mutate in 60 years.

The environment did:

• Ultra-processed food became "normal"
• Sugar consumption went from 6 lbs/year to 152 lbs/year
• Jobs went from physical to desk-based
• Government subsidized junk, not real food

In 2020 I bought a used vending machine for $1500.

Now I have 102 machines profiting $60k/month.

Screw it...

Here's the full step-by-step system I used to go from 0-100+ machines in 5 years:

First...

Why vending machines are the perfect business:

• 50% profit margins
• Scalable to any size
• Zero employees needed
• $0 down financing available
• Completely automated systems
• Minimal time commitment (1hr/week)

Now, let’s get into things:

1. Find high-traffic locations

Look for places with consistent foot traffic:

• Medical centers
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities
• Office buildings (100+ employees)

Pro tip: If the parking lot is always full, it's a good location.

5 years ago I almost invested $15,000 in Miami real estate...

Instead, I placed a Micromarket in an apartment building.

It made $17,000 in the first 30 days.

Here’s the step-by-step blueprint I used to do it:

1. Why I Passed on Real Estate

In 2018, I wanted to buy a rental property in Miami.

I had $15,000 ready for a down payment, but the numbers didn’t add up:

• Low rental yields.
• High property prices.
• Maintenance headaches.

It felt like a grind with little return.

So, I started looking for alternatives...

2. Enter: Micromarkets

Instead of real estate, I placed a micromarket in an apartment building.

What’s a micromarket?
