You won't believe how much this ice cream business on a bike actually makes 200k a year. The cost to start was wild 8500 bucks which covered the bike trailer, storage and the goods. After she bought the bike, she needed to make the ice cream sandwiches. So then how does she sell them? I'm calling this a user drip strategy. She caters events. She's done 700 of them since 2015 and uses user generated content to create these free, fun social posts. Then she reposts, remixes hundreds of happy customers that gets hundreds of thousands of views. Then she teaches others how to do it, charges them for it, and creates a little empire on the way. I had an idea. I thought I'd try this for a weekend and see how much money we could make with one bike. You guys tell me if you think we should do it and what questions you have.
