This Micromarket makes $22,000/month.

The crazy part?

It requires 0 employees.

Even better?

You can start one with $0 down.

Here's exactly how I did it (and how you can too): Image
1. First, let me explain what a Micromarket is.

I used to think vending was just snacks & sodas.

But Micromarkets changed everything:

• Way bigger than regular vending machines
• Multiple shelves & coolers
• Can stock fresh food, drinks, & essentials
• Completely automated with AI cameras
2. Location is everything.

I found my $17k/month location through cold outreach.

The perfect spot?

A luxury apartment building that:

• Has short-term rental units
• Caters to business travelers
• Gets constant foot traffic 24/7

These travelers expense everything - perfect for high sales.
3. When I pitch to properties, I don't even mention "vending."

Instead, I position it as a "luxury amenity" that:

• Adds value to their property
• Requires 0 work from their staff
• Helps them compete with other buildings

Property managers love this approach. Image
4. Here's the best part about getting started:

The manufacturers want these machines out there.

You can finance a Micromarket with:

• $0 down payment
• 10% interest rate
• $200 monthly payments

I paid mine off in under a year with pure profit. Image
5. Let's talk real numbers from my route:

Average Micromarket revenue: $3k-$5k/month

My best performer: $22k/month

After expenses:

• 40% product costs
• 10% fees
• Rest is profit

Plus, AI cameras track everything - I manage it all from my phone.
6. The secret to my $22k location?

It's a hybrid setup:

• Apartment residents need late-night convenience
• Business travelers expense their purchases
• Short-term guests pay premium prices

One machine, multiple revenue streams.
Want to know the truth?

Most people are still fighting over W2 jobs while this machine makes more than some doctors.

I've now helped hundreds of others start their own routes through my Vendingpreneur community.

It's not easy, but it's worth it.
If you're serious about building passive income in 2025…

This is your sign to get started.

I just had my 3rd kid.

& while at home taking care of it, my vending machines will still make me $65,000+/month profit.

Here's why vending is the greatest business model for parents: Image
Every parent faces the same impossible choice:

Miss your kids growing up to build wealth.

Or be present and struggle financially.

I found option 3…
My vending empire runs 24/7 without me.

100+ machines across 4 states.
$65k/month profit.
8 hours of "work" per week.

The rest is family time.

I grew my vending machine business from 0 to 100+ machines in 5 years.

If I had to start over & wanted to do it again…

Here's exactly how I'd do it (Bookmark This): Image
Image
1. Find a location in my city.

I’d google the following locations within 30 minutes of me:

• Apartment complexes
• College/University campuses
• Businesses with 100+ employees

& make a list of each one's email/phone numbers.

After I make my list, I’d move on to step 2:
2. Call/Email my list.

Ideally, I’ll have a list of 50-100 locations from step 1.

I’d start calling and/or emailing each location.

I’ll simply introduce myself & ask 3 questions:

You don't need $10K to start a vending business.

You can finance a machine for $0 down, place it in high-traffic locations, and profit $1,000+/month within the first 90 days.

Here's how: 🧵
Step 1: Find the right location first

Don't buy a machine and hope to find a spot.

Look for places with full parking lots:

• Apartment complexes with 100+ units
• Office buildings with multiple tenants
• Gyms that are busy all day
• Medical offices with constant foot traffic
Step 2: Position it as an amenity upgrade

Walk into the property and ask:

"Do your residents/employees have to leave the building late at night just to grab a snack or drink?"

9 times out of 10, they'll say yes.

That's your pain point to solve.

Joe Rogan just sat down with the world's top AI safety researcher and professor:

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

What he revealed about artificial intelligence will change how you think about our future…

Here are 8 insights that every person should understand about AI: Image
1. We're in Uncharted Territory (And Moving Fast)

"Right now the large AI labs are running this experiment on 8 billion people."

Think about the timeline:

• For 50 years, experts said AI was "20 years away"
• Then GPT launched and suddenly everyone thinks it's 2-3 years away
• We went from impossible to inevitable in months

The speed of change is unprecedented in human history.
2. AI Is Already Better at Deception Than We Realize

ChatGPT can pass the Turing test, but companies program it not to.

"Usually labs instruct them not to participate in a test or not try to pretend to be a human."

Why? Because they think it's unethical to fool humans.

But here's the insight: if it can choose NOT to deceive us, it's already choosing TO deceive us about its capabilities.
