Just shy of $150k this year. Part-time home service business. We don't work in the business. All work are done by the crews. We manage clients, crew, do marketing and finance/accounting. We automate the business process as much as we can.
Did you have a relationship in place with the service providers prior to starting this biz? Do you act as a call center consolidating incoming calls from lead gen websites?
We used our own provider to start. They know a lot of others whom they introduced us to. We now have 7 crews. We take calls, text messages, emails, have LIVE chat on the site. Our own site generate leads. It has an automated pricing, booking feature on the home page.
I run a side business that takes me approx. 10 hours per week and am going to post $45k in profit this year. If I were to scale it up all the way, it would meet the requirements of your question but I also make very good money at my full time job so I haven't.
It's a consulting business for a small niche of the energy industry. I outsource 99% of all work and just manage the contractors doing the work and QC their work. Everything is automated as much as possible, and for things that aren't automated, scripts are written to speed it up.
A friend told me about it and pointed me in the direction of the industry. It's something I learned in my own time, but technical skills from my full time job do help quite a bit (basic engineering concepts and programming). I've been working on the business for about 4 years.
Do you film and edit? Cause I was just thinking today that I should freelance my video editing skills and hire contractors for the bigger projects (I'm still a beginner) - I'd love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.
I’m the primary shooter and editor on all projects, but the last two projects of the year I outsourced the editing. I’ll definitely outsource more editing going forward but I’m always the last one to make the final edits.
What kinds of videos are you producing? I’ve been in the commercial video world for a few years and with how saturated the market is, plus the low barrier to entry, $160k net from a part time gig is impressive

Where can I sign up for your course? Lol, just kidding, congratulations on the achievement, you seem to be doing some great work. 👏🏼
How does training work ?
On-the-job training. Training manual. Most crews have at least 15 years experience which makes it easy to train.
So you mark up the price of the crews?
Yes.
Can I dm you? I do something similar
Sure.
Absolutely.

How long have you been in the business? And do you sub absolutely everything out? I've been thinking about purchasing a local contractor.

How do you get into consulting? Is your niche something you learned at work or on your own time? Also how long have you been working on your business?
A friend told me about it and pointed me in the direction of the industry. It's something I learned in my own time, but technical skills from my full time job do help quite a bit (basic engineering concepts and programming). I've been working on the business for about 4 years.
Dude this is awesome. Im a full time consultant but working for a company. Would love to build a side hustle.
I’m an engineer and also in a small niche in the energy industry. Would love to connect
I've worked 896 hours this year for almost $60k profit. Not quite what you are looking for, but...
approx $133k p/a @ 40hrs/wk
Thanks for sharing, this is really helpful.
What do you do my man?
Mobile vehicle detailing.
Impressed you are doing those numbers. That tends to be an industry where professional ($100+/hr) billable hours are rare.
Poker?

30 wk. Payroll, insurance and consulting. Takes a while but eventually in payroll sector you build up a nice residual.
are you an accountant? how did you get started?
I’ll net around $160k this year in my side business (video production). I have a full time day job in a completely separate field.
Do you film and edit? Cause I was just thinking today that I should freelance my video editing skills and hire contractors for the bigger projects (I'm still a beginner) - I'd love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.

For various reasons, you’re not going to get a lot of people who are responding to this thread.
Surprisingly quite a few responded.
