I Am Determined to Be a Successful Entrepreneur

My next miniature business idea is to get into the vending machine business. I might profit 50-100 bucks a month with it. To me that’s taking care of gas money for the month.

Does that gas include driving around to your vending sites?

@Mamapolo2016 I’m trying to find creative places to put them. Some people might ridicule the idea but I live in a very small and very poor county. People literally leave their house to go to vending machines to get drinks because they are cold, and the closest grocery store is 30 minutes away.
@SW-User I don't know how that works but if you can get machines and you can decide what goes in them - offer a cheaper option in addition to $1.25 brand sodas - and see how more sugar-free drinks work for you.
@SW-User Most vending machines (and restaurants, as far as that goes) only have one (or no) sugar-free options. Baby boomers are looking for that and nit finding it and there's a lot of them.
@SW-User Apartment complexes, trailer parks, cheaper motels, athletic parks....

@Mamapolo2016 sugar free drinks is good idea. A lot of the machines in the county are 50 cents and dispenses cans. I have a trailer park in mind I know the owners and they might let me use their land. I’m thinking of putting one in at the local gym. And a grocery store next to it. That would be three machines my budget is 1,000 dollars so I might put the machine in between the two buildings, and in the trailer park.
@SW-User Try to put them in the open to discourage vandals. Good luck!
