    The math doesn't math.

    Even assuming the drinks cost $3, even if all 60 bought one, that's $180, not 2 or 3 hunnid.

    And that's not counting the work to do the interviews, as mentioned by others, or counting the work to do inventory and stick the machine, it even the cost of the drinks themselves.

    Bro really doin all this work for what accounts to maybe $30 profit on a good day. Which would be ok for a tiny amount of work, but even if he does this at his regular job, is just a decent chunk extra, not a ton.

        It'd be better if they had multiple rooms, multiple vending machines and multiple interviewers. Pay the interviewers to do the work and take the passive income.

        But also this is horrible noone should do this.

            That's not "Passive" income, if you have to attract 50-60 people per day, pretend to interview them, while subliminally encouraging them to use the vending machine. That's called a full-time job, and probably illegal, too.

            And that isn't $300/day profit, he has to pay for those items in his machine. The profit is probably no more than 50%, so $150/day. For an 8 hour day, that's $18.75 an hour. That's a lot of work for not that much money. It certainly isn't "Passive."

            At lowest estimates that’s a 17hr work day 🤣. 20 minute interviews with no delay in between and no lunch or bathroom breaks.

                      This is TOTALY real and in no way, designed to infuriate people dumb enough to believe it.

                      For the record:

                      “A soda vending machine's revenue varies significantly based on location and product pricing, but a rough estimate for average daily revenue is $5. Monthly, this could range from $150 to $1,500, with high-traffic locations potentially earning up to $100 per day. However, profit margins depend on product costs and operating expenses.”

                      And that’s if he owns it outright.

                            Am I confused on why people are overcomplicating the math and adding assumptions to a clear given.

                            • 60 applications a day.

                            • Half of them (30) buy something.

                            • Makes 300 per day.

                            • They must make $10 per vending customer.

                            We can safely ignore operating costs and sementics to conclude this is massive ragebait.

                              Agreed, just use common sense to judge wether or not other people then yourself may understand the semantics and context of written information works pretty well. /s

                                More unbelievable is the implication that the average applicant spends $5-6 in the vending machine

                                More than $5-$6. He's making $300 income which implies the expenses are deducted. The actual price is $5-$6 + actual cost of whatever is in the vending machine

                                    If you're going to be self-employed, at least be a good boss to yourself. It doesn't make sense to treat yourself like the worst boss you've ever had.

                                      If you look closer, it's also off-brand drinks, meaning, he absolutely owns the machine, operates it, and restocks.

                                      However, I do wonder the electric costs.

                                        Now hire someone to do the interviews, then it's passive income.

                                        If he were smart, he would hire a full-time interviewee to ensure there's always someone interviewing and buying drinks at a steady, predictable rate. Easiest money you'll ever make.

                                          Put out a bowl of extra salty peanuts and crank up the heat. Open a small bar in the corner serving margaritas, mojitos, pina coladas, etc... Sit back and watch the passive income roll in.
