  1. I am new to your channel, but i gotta say, I love the content so far! I am currently looking for a new source of income. I’d like to make $300-$500/day.

    1. Omfg yeah. I do lawncare and Saw a guy in a van scooping poo. I had to walk over and ask him some questions. He says he shows up every other week and gets 80$ every time he shows up and he has about 25 customers a day on average. He said he could have more but he is happy where he is at. Says it takes him 10 minutes at each house and he is making around 2k a day before 1pm. Insane

    2. Are people really paying $80 just for you to pick up the poop in their yard?? Genuine question

  2. As a journeyman heavy duty mechanic who’s worked in the rental industry for 10 years in various roles, I HIGHLY recommend you put EVERY brain cells 150% capacity and think before pulling the trigger on buying dozers and renting them.

    1. That’s true, you would just have to put in your business plan to plan for preventative maintenance and general maintenance on the equipment.

    2. @@Thebluesky0311 – what’s the game plan if the dozer breaks down in the middle of the customer’s job at 2am? How are you going to forecast major parts replacement such as an engine? Are you going to be profitable if you send all your repair and maintenance to an outside vendor? There’s a lot to this game and there’s big players who do this extremely well. 10 years of experience in this domain would make me hesitant starting my own rental company if I had the money.

    3. What you described is running a business! You will have to account and handle those issues. @@bobdhitman

    4. ​@@Thebluesky0311 you sure do seem to think it’s just that simple… ever seen people operating rented equipment? They beat the absolute dogpiss out of the equipment. I’ve never rented a piece of equipment without something breaking. And I usually try to take it easy on the equipment. All the people who used to rent in my area have stopped over the years due to shitty renters.

  3. I have been in heavy equipment operation for almost 30yrs. I owned 2 of my own dozers. Where I live there are several rental companies that rent all kinds of dozers etc. It is a very high dollar start up cost!!! CDL+ Semi+ Dozer. Cost you at least $50,000 to start for old stuff. New stuff would be close to $200 to $300,000!! Dozer rental would be very limited clients list most people just hire a owner operator.

    1. Thanks for the info! This is likely part of the reason the keyword “bulldozer rental” is such low competition. But it does have high search volume and is easy to rank for. If someone knows the industry or is already in that market they could focus their SEO on that keyword and get some good traffic.

    2. “Hi is this Jeff’s dozer rents?” “So the throttle stuck and we smashed down the house!”

    3. yes I think I’ll rent out my brand new D 11 to somene that has maybe never even seen one.

  4. My wife is a High School dropout and last year made 300k. We live in Florida and she was helping an old couple to do stuff around the house first. Later she got a CNA license ($150) and last year created her own company.
    Also, mobile groomers are a “gold mine” every time I try can’t get an appointment. They don’t even call back! Love the video, already subscribed! 😉

    1. What type of business did she start? I’m assuming something along the lines of home health aide.?

  5. Elevator companies usually use proprietary parts. That’s why there are only three of them. There is also huge insurance costs and its a very highly skilled and regulated trade.

    1. And this is a heavily unionized industry. If you try to start this one, you will be up against a few serious unions, and they will put you out of business fast.

  6. i’m gonna keep it 💯, most of these ideas stink as standalone businesses but if it’s a service you offer then focus your marketing on those things and your other services become value adds

  7. Absolutely do not get into renting out equipment… the renters will always beat the absolute dogwater out of the equipment. You will have repairs after every renter and youll simply never recoup your costs.

  8. Anyone who is concerned about pronunciation vs learning should start a pronunciation service business…

  9. Elevator repair is highly regulated. I doubt you’d be able to go out and just fix elevators without licensure and permits from the king

  10. Mechanic work in general is in high demand. If you’re a mechanic you could start a business and be busy full time day one.

  11. Thank you for this valuable info! There are only 16 ideas though. Yes, I was very interested!

  12. I very much enjoyed this video! I want to start my own business sooo bad, and this vid gave me some really good ideas. And, even if I don’t start with one of these, I see how it’s done and can research on my own. But I’ll still watch more videos like this if you make them lol

  13. I’m wading through the numerous excessively incorrect pronunciations of the word niche in order to get the valuable info. Thank you sir for your bravery.

  14. Video Idea: Let’s say you find a niche (mattress cleaning) and the competition has already been in the biz for 30-40 years (steam cleaners)…. a Video on how to market yourself / get clients in a competitive market.

  15. Thanks Tim. This video is extremely useful and gets to the point unlike a lot of other videos I see on YT in the business category.

  16. Adulting really IS hard! 😂 That’s why we made Williams Universal Solutions – imagine having ONE app for every service need. Car breaks down? Mobile mechanic. Sink leaks? Plumber comes to you. We’re like Uber for everything adults need!
