In this excerpt from Chris Koerner’s YouTube video, a conversation with Speaker A outlines a low‑cost side‑hustle that involves placing printable display boards (often referred to as "boards") in strategic locations. The business can be started with essentially $0 upfront and minimal time investment: once a board is installed, it can generate roughly $3,000–$10,000 per month with little ongoing effort. The speakers emphasize the lifestyle benefits—working less than a traditional job and having more fun. Advertising for the boards is created using simple, free tools like Canva or AI‑assisted copy generation via ChatGPT. The dialogue highlights the scalability of the model, the potential earnings, and the ease of entry for anyone looking to change their financial situation.

So we are at about 10,000. Okay. 10,000. A month? Mm-hmm. We've seen up to 15,000. Wow. We've been doing this for 6 months. That's incredible.
Yeah. And how much money does it take to start this business?
$0 and very minimal time. 'Cause once you set it up, it's just doing its thing. One board placed and you can make $3,000 a month. The boards are fantastic for a side hustle. How many people out here could have a different life if they made $3,000 every single month? Yeah. I work way less than I would at a job.
Mm-hmm.
And I have so much more fun. Yeah. I wouldn't trade it.
Yeah.
How do you design the ads? We'll either do Canva or ChatGPT.
Yeah, ChatGPT image too is amazing. Oh my gosh, it's so good. So you send to the printer and he prints it as is? Mhm. Okay. Yep. We're still early for just about everything, and if you try to convince yourself that we're not, then you're probably just thinking up excuses to not do the thing, to not start a business. What do you have to lose? Worst case, you don't sell any, you just put it at a different restaurant. So it's just a whiteboard. Whiteboards have been around forever. Why are people paying you $3,000 for them.
