The thing is,the most profitable businesses are often the boring ones. Unlike online businesses, the competition they face is decreasing daily as everyone chases after some glamorous business where they can work from the beach.
That said, having seen snow plow ads it does sound like good money. Not as good as fang.
If he's subbing out all that work it could be very little.
It feels a bit misleading to mention that as revenue and in other cases mention a six-figure operation.
Six-figure could mean anything from $100k to $999k. So which is it, there's quite a huge difference.
Usually when people say six figures they would mean somewhere around $100k. Is what he's paying himself after all of that around $100k per year then?
Overall the article of course seems like ad piece that directs you to his homepage where he's selling a course on how to do the same...
In the article when it talks about a "six figure operation", I think they are referring to the $650k in revenue, which would be a six figure operation. I don't see any clues into what he's taking home.
"All it takes is a few minutes each day, at each property to keep the sites litter-free. If you’re looking for a simple, low-risk business with the potential to earn you a 6 figure income, order the manual right now."
So I had this in mind, because here he mentioned income, but I used the wording from the article.
It always irks me as well when people say "figures" like that because it's a range of 1 to 10x, and it seems he really enjoys doing that.
Another quote from him "I’ve been cleaning up litter in and around commercial properties for over 30 years and I’ve been earning a 6 figure income from it."
