Why it worked

The video taps into the popular 'side hustle' trend by testing a tangible, relatable business idea. The creator's direct approach, showing the process from purchase to profit (or lack thereof), combined with the promise of a more lucrative side hustle in the next installment, creates engagement and encourages viewers to follow.

Summary

The creator tests a side hustle by purchasing two gumball machines and placing them in two different local businesses, Azteca and Frannie's Goodie Shop. After 30 days, the machines generated $60 in revenue, resulting in a $50 profit after accounting for the cost of gumballs.

Transcript

Testing TikTok side hustle pt. 1. You can make good money from gumball machines, so we're gonna try it. You don't have to part five. I found two gumball machines on eBay for $72 each. Once they came to my house, it took me about five minutes to install each gumball machine. And once I put in the gumballs, it was time to bring the machines to the stores. Location 1: Azteca. This is a Mexican place. It has pretty good food. *Got permission to install gumball machine beforehand*. Location 2: Frannie's Goodie Shop. We're gonna walk in and ask if we can put this gumball machine in the corner for like 30 days, so you guys have it there, so you guys can get free business. Okay. I appreciate it. Alright, see you in 30 days. 30 days later. 30 days later. Location 1: Azteca. Alright, so if there is still, uh, all the gumballs and the gumball machine, I probably will off myself. But I'm hoping. Oh, shit. Look at this. That's almost two-thirds gone. Okay. Location 2: Frannie's Goodie Shop. That's decent amount gone. Okay. I counted them. All in all with the two machines after 30 days, we made $60. $10. I spent $10 on gumballs, so I made $50 in profit. So this isn't a great side hustle. So I'm doing pressure washing in the next video, which is a great side hustle. So follow if you want to see that.
