My friend Sam installs these ugly stock tanks for millennial families here in Texas. Here's how much money he makes and how you can copy him. He takes pictures and videos of each job and posts them to Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. That gets him a ton of leads. When he gets a job, he'll go to Tractor Supply and buy either an 8 or a 10 foot stock tank. The 8 foots are 550 and the 10 foots are 850. Then he buys all his pool fittings and equipment from Amazon for about 350 bucks. So he's all in about $1,200 per pool and he charges about $2,800 and only takes an hour. If the yard needs to be leveled. He'll charge an extra 4 to $600 to level it out. He did about 880 pools last year for $100,000 in profit just in the summer. He gets about 80% of his leads from Facebook ads, but his 3, $500 in ad spend brought him those hundred thousand dollars of profit. It's perfect because millennials love it to hang in and kids love it to play in. The hard part is scaling because Tractor Supply will limit how many pools he can buy from them, so he's working on importing them in bulk from the manufacturer, which will save him a few hundred dollars. Full business plan here.
