Josh
- Postcard Ad Broker
- $40,000 year one revenue
📝 Josh, a 25-year-old in Utah, sells ad spots on shared postcards to local businesses – one plumber, one landscaper, one bakery, etc.
He ships the cards to 1000s of local homes via USPS’s Every Door Direct Mail tool – no mailing list needed.
Unit economics on a 10K-home card 👇
- $2,500 postage (25¢/home)
- $2,300 printing
- $9,000 to $10,000 in ad sales (16 spots, $350 to $1,000 each)
- $4,000 to $5,000 profit per card
He fills the spots by posting weekly in local Facebook business groups…
I probably close 95% of my deals over messenger or text.
His first-ever sale was a plumber paying $1,100 for a premium spot after just 5 DMs.
Year one: ~$40K revenue. Started under $100, no website, no LLC for the first two cards, no employees.
You could start this for free if you really wanted to.
Worth a swing in any US town with a post office and a Facebook group 😎
