This post is based on a YouTube video I just stumbled upon, on a channel called Box Lyfe. I have no affiliation with the YouTuber, and know nothing about him. However, the video is very straight to the point and not spammy. I think it contains practical information that can be implemented immediately. For people looking to start something.. anything.
In the video, he goes through the steps and resources to get started in the delivery/shipping/removal business, without buying a van. The short story is, rent a van on a third-party site like Priceline (if you can't buy one), instead of directly from the rental company. As it is cheaper.
In the video example, you're looking at $250-300/week rental cost. With that, you can get delivery gigs on marketplaces like Shiply. You should make more than enough to cover all expenses and have an income. From the comments on the YouTube video, several people have taken action on the advice and are seeing decent results. One mentioned $2-3k/week in the removal niche. Read the YouTube comments too.
Obviously, doing this on your own is not fastlane, but it is a good place to start, and can easily be made fastlane. You just need to hire several other people to do the actual deliveries for you, as contract workers. And expand as business grows.
This is targeted to the US, but I believe it can be implemented in several other countries too. I thought I'd post it here, as there have been a lot of recent threads with people seemingly lost or stuck in what business direction to go. This is one option you can get right on, with only a few requirements, and under $400 starting cost.
There is nothing revolutionary or novel about this, but it's one of those things people might overlook, while chasing fancy "online startup" status. All the best to anyone who chooses to give it a shot!
