This newsletter is all about making money online, but let’s take a quick detour into the offline world ↩️
A recent post on Reddit…
Trash collection.
Friends of mine, a husband and wife team, started this in their 20s.
By age 45, it had grown huge and they sold the company to the largest waste management processor in their country and walked away with $50 million in cash.
Carpet/sofa cleaning. Met someone who is fully booked every single day.
These stories are a good reminder that there are lots of business opportunities in the offline world.
And there may even be more opportunities offline since so many people prefer to stay behind their screens nowadays 😵💫
One of the largest deficits in the coming years are industry tradesmen like plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc. Most millennials were told they had to go to college. Gen Z’ers followed suit. Now nearly any tradesman worth a shit can name their price in most areas.
An article from 2020 tells a similar story 👇
The number of unfilled HVAC technician jobs is about 80,000 or 39% of technicians currently employed. On top of that, we’re suffering a net technician loss of about 8% or 20,000 per year.
(HVAC technician = someone who installs and repairs air conditioning systems.)
One more comment from that Reddit thread…
Most people my age don’t want to get their hands dirty anymore. I think it has to do with the social image we now see on social media.
If someone focuses on building a business that requires physical labor or work that requires human interaction together with automated digital processes managed by AI, I believe it could be extremely successful.
Reminds me of that guy who wrote software to optimize his sister’s cookie delivery business and sold $200,000 in one month 🤯
So yeah, don’t get too caught up looking to make money online.
There are plenty of good business opportunities offline, usually with less competition 👍
