In this YouTube interview, Chris Koerner talks with Mike about a surprisingly simple, low‑cost business that grew from a single Facebook post into a $50,600 revenue stream between March and July. Mike explains how a $30,000 contract for the fall and a $12,000 “spring‑break week” were secured by charging parents roughly $75 per hour per child, with startup expenses under $450 and $5,000 of free equipment obtained from a tool supplier. The conversation highlights the minimal marketing effort (a plain Facebook post), the key pitch sentence, and the single word that turned a side‑hustle into multiple contracts, positioning the venture as an overlooked $1,000‑per‑hour opportunity anyone can start.
I just signed a $30,000 contract for this fall. Spring break, we cleared $12,000 in one week, 9 to noon. So you're done in the afternoon, right?
That's like 3 hours of work.
Keep it simple, stupid. If you want to go all in, you can make a ton of money. Yeah, pretty simply. For those who wanted to make 3 grand a month, this is easy. So in March to July, $50,600. Wow. It was basically like 8, 8, and then we hit a 12, then we hit a 16. It just kept scaling up and up and up.
I need to have a gong in here because every time I discover a business that you really could start with no money, I just I just want to be like, bing, found one. You know, it is a business you could start with, with nothing.
Facebook post. That was it. No pictures, no nothing.
Meet Mike. He's 50, got laid off after 20 years, and one night at 3:30 in the morning, he wrote a Facebook post from his garage. No photos, no website, no price. And that post became a $50,000 business in 5 months flat. Moms pay him $75 an hour per kid. The state of Florida pays him within 24 hours, and he just signed a $30,000 contract for 2 2 hours every Friday. His startup costs were under $450, and really he collects money upfront, so he could have started this with no money, and you can too. And by the end of this episode, you're gonna know exactly how to copy him this weekend. I'm gonna show you the exact post in a few minutes, and halfway through this episode, he's gonna give you the one sentence that got a tool company to send him $5,000 of free gear. And at the end, I'm gonna give you the one word that turned a side hustle into real contracts. And also, this whole thing, this whole business exists because Mike watches the channel and he was inspired by it. So please enjoy.
