My name is Sam and i'm a 21 year old entrepeneur from the UK.
This channel is all about: Business, Travel and Vlogging.
I hope to inspire you to take your first steps in becoming an entrepenuer and making money on your own terms or give you the bug that I have for travel and exploration. I'll show you how I make money and how I enjoy it through my travels!
Lovely video. Planning to take my daughter to Disneyland Paris for her 6th bday by sep 10th, please what are the prices for those rides ? Would love to have idea on what to expect. Much love from Scotland.
Hey Samual, Loving the New York Vlogs already on Day 5, can’t wait to binge watch the rest I remember going in Dec 2019 it was insane and also can’t wait to watch your other travel videos #NewSubcriber 🥰
thanks for the video Samuel why is a vendor agreement needed? if a facility manager responds, why do we need an agreement then what should our response be?
Have you ever had machines vandalised/damaged to the point of needing to be completely replaced? Do you have insurance for that kind of thing and if so, what are the premiums?
If you are doing sandwiches and hot food it’s moving a little more away from vending and more like a mobile cafe. Best thing would be to check your council on this. As you’d have to look at expiry dates, refrigeration etc. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
On the new year eve of 2014, 310,000 people gathered around the bund to celebrate. An incident triggered a stampede which resulted the death of 31. Since then the government issued strict measures around the area to prevent it from happenning again. The soldiers were there as human fence to regulate crowd flow especially during national holidays as May1. This is why the soldiers were unarmed but police were.
you probably went during the first week of may? it's a national holiday and I believe they brought several navy ships to dock near the bund. the soldiers are more for show than anything since all they do is stand in place for their shifts. also not everyone you think is police is police... many are just security guards for the shopping areas.
Depending on which day you went the busyness and police presence might be because there was a public holiday may 1st to may 5th! A lot of domestic tourism to shanghai happens around that time and police are there to regulate the crowds.
they had a people stampede a few years back at the bund and a bunch of people died so they have much more police during holidays there now to make sure crowd doesn't get too big.
I absolutely hate that seating arrangement, i will avoid any airline incl my homeland airline Air New Zealand having to sit side sadle., i pay for a window seat i don't expect to be forced to sit in a stupid seat like that on Virgin Atlantic-Upper Class. Did though really enjoy watching your awesome flight review there Samuel, very nicely presented by you👍✈
I don't really get it tho, you buy a 2k vending machine to generate £100-150 a month profit? Plus the maintenance and the expenses wouldn't that take a year to make actual profit from it?
In this instance yes but after a year your cash flowing pretty well. Way I see it is if you put your cash into the markets you’re looking at 10% return every year, vending however this is more like 100% +. It depends the way you look at it and some machines can make more each year depending on the stock.
it would be helpful t make a video going over finances...you made £26 in cash plus say £120 in card sales. That's 146 round up to £150. Say half is cost of goods so you're left with £75. Take away insurance, petrol to go restock them, maintenance. Lets say you are left with £50 per machine (75-25). That's £100 in a month. That means you would need about 30 such vending machines to start making a healthy living (30 x £100 = £3000 profit per month). if a vending machine such as this costs £2k that would mean you had to spent £60k to buy these vending machines. Is that a liable business? again, I don't know what I'm taking about but it would be helpful to go over the finances. Cheers for the quality videos.
Vending wise I would only put a tower machine in there. Don’t just see it as food it’s entertainment for the kids. I don’t mean a fancy pants restaurant more like a pub restaurant or chain restaurant.
Tower machines get donations to charity which shops love to be able to do without a cost on themselves and full line machines increase staff morale and productivity leading to the business to be more productive and could lead to more revenue for them!
Hi Samuel, First off love your videos. Really informative. Great job. I have a question relating specifically to tower vending machines. My question is. Other than the obvious permission from land owner to place the machine on site. Are there any other legal loopholes holes you need to jump through at all?
Hi this Cameron Murray from Ballyclare in Northern Ireland in United Kingdom I would like to start up own vending machine business just in Ballyclare What I need to start up vending machine business in Ballyclare do you need license yes or no Where about you get your card reader for vending machine
Very concise for a beginner like me thankyou. I’m looking to do this as a bit of a side hustle, see where it goes and hopefully move up to the bigger machines eventually. Is there a good way of approaching a place location to ask to put it in? What do I say? 😂🤷♂️
If you pay £2k for a machine and it returns £200 a month that would be £2,400 per year which is a 120% return on investment. Much better than the average stock market return of 10% per year.
