How To Use Gumball Machines To Make Money

By Terrence Lee


There are a lot of upsides to starting and running a small business or private enterprise, and it allow you to reach your goals and live the life you want. Another big asset of starting a business is that you don't have the soul sucking effects of working for "the man." Because honestly, who wants to work for someone else? Starting today to make money for yourself, and better your own life, instead of making someone else rich, is an awesome change. The problem is most businesses are expensive and time consuming, so you can really own start them if you are already successful. This is okay if you do have lots of money already, but it doesn't help you at all if you're trying to become successful.

The key is that most businesses take a lot of time and money. Most businesses. Gumball machines, in addition to being an amazing feat of engineering, allow you to generate constant passive revenue, at a rate of twenty-one cents per sale. This is awesome, because gumball machines can be serviced in under an hour, and you can purchase a gumball machine for as little as seventy dollars. It's really crazy to learn of a business that you can get up and running for under one hundred dollars.

The gumball machine business plan is really quite simply. You find yourself a cheap gumball machine and buy it, then stock it full of gumballs, purchased for about 4 cents each. You place the machine somewhere and sell the gumball for a quarter each (this is really just an accepted fact of life-you don't have to convince anyone that a gumball is worth a quarter). A lot of gumball machines have a 400-ball capacity, and if you refill it twice, you can sell 800 over the course of a month.

Some simply algebra will tell you that with good sales, you can be incredibly profitable and pull in over $100 a month. And all that can be accomplished for under one hour of work every month. You can start to see how such a business could be a key to your long-term financial goals.

This business model is also readily scalable. Because you'll make $168 the first month off of only one gumball machine, you can pay for a second vending machine and stock it full of gumballs for less than your profits from the first month. You can take the profits; invest them in another gumball machine, and double your profits for the coming month. You can follow your potential growth with the Fibonacci sequence.

If you follow the growth of your business, it roughly matches the Fibonacci sequence, etc. Those are the projected returns of new gumball machines you can purchase each month-these returns accumulate, so your potential for business profit increases exponentially. Your profit per gumball machine stays constant, but your number of gumball machines increases rapidly.

I can't make it clear enough that this plan requires work. If you know anything about business you know that business plans that promise little or no work on your part generally end in disaster, and someone is generally profiting off of your failure. The main time investment you have to make is finding somewhere to place your machines. This can be difficult, but don't give up! You will succeed.
