$500/Day Windshield Repair Business

📝 Someone on Reddit recently shared how he turned a windshield repair skill into a thriving side hustle…

I took a course two years ago and learned how to repair chipped/cracked windshields.

After MONTHS of trial and error, I was able to build a killer side hustle out of it…

In the beginning I was making around $150/day and then it quickly got busy to where I was making $500+ /day…

I made $50-$80/hr, and I got to work on my own schedule. If I didn’t want to work one day, I would just shut off my lead gen. 

It was the cheapest business I have ever heard of getting into. I think my initial equipment cost ~$450.  

Customers would visit his website, input their address and phone number, and he would drive out to fix their windshields 😎

The actual repair took only 15 minutes, and the demand was high, with apparently 35% of cars on the road in the US having windshield damage.

His marketing strategy relied on… 

–  Automating my advertising and lead generation strategy for less than $30/day in ad spend…

– Partnering with insurance companies (70% of my revenue was from insurance companies – most plans in the US cover rock-chip damage…

– Partnering with car washes and car dealerships

👍 It was a nice blue-collar side hustle, but…

I want to move to Florida soon to pursue a joint-venture with my cousin. So I recently sold my business.

Sounds like that joint-venture might be an online course teaching other people how to do windshield repair.

💬 He says in the comments…

The training isn’t ready yet. I need to meet with a dozen or more people to validate what I’m building before I launch. Happy to chat with anyone on this thread. But price? Not sure yet. I paid $1,200 for the technical training (100% online) two years ago.

I could see that training doing very well if it’s priced at $500 or so, would save people a lot of time and money.

And it’s an interesting blueprint to consider for building an online business 👇

• Pick a profitable blue-collar side hustle
• Get good at it
• Teach others how to do it online

Alternatively, you could partner with someone who has already mastered some blue-collar side hustle, help them create an online training for it.
