$200K a Year From a Low Competition Local Service

There’s a guy in Ohio who repairs riding lawnmowers out of his garage. No staff. Barely a website.

He reportedly profits $200K a year 🀯

Tim Richard found him while hunting high-ticket local services that tons of people search for, but almost nobody offers online…

Riding lawnmower repair has 14,000 people searching it per month and zero out of 100 on the keyword difficulty scale.

Translation: big demand, near-zero competition. And the same gap shows up across a bunch of unglamorous trades πŸ‘‡

  • Crawl space waterproofing – $5,500 average job
  • Luxury restroom trailer rentals – $1,000-3,000 a weekend
  • Venetian plaster accent walls – $3,000-6,000 a wall

One restroom-trailer operator, Adam, booked 100 events his first year and profited $60K from a single trailer πŸ‘€

You don’t even need the skills yourself. Tim runs his own junk-removal brand by ranking the website and passing jobs to subcontractors, Uber-style.

Pick a service nobody in your town advertises, build a simple site around the exact keyword, and let Google bring the work πŸ”₯
