## Resource

What if you could earn $1,500 a month in side income with just an hour of work a week — and do it with a business that practically runs itself? That's exactly what Will Butterton has built with five ATMs through his company, Viking Vendors LLC. Will is a full-time engineer, a dad of three, and a multi-side-hustler who got into ATMs when his wife was pregnant and he started looking for something low-risk. He started the business with a childhood friend, each putting in some cash to buy their first two machines. The pitch was simple: worst case, they couldn't find locations and sold the machines to someone else. Tune in to Episode 741 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: what it actually takes to set up an ATM business from scratch, including the step most people don't expect to be the hardest how to find and pitch locations — even when most good spots already have a machine what the numbers look like across different types of spots, and what a single great location can do for your income Full Show Notes: $1500/mo With His ATM Side Hustle New to the Show?
