I’m stumped every time I see this guy post. It’s pretty simple. They hide cash around the Seattle area, take a short video to show the location, someone finds and keeps the money.

They have a partnerships email in their bio but I have no idea how they are making money by hiding money.

So let’s breakdown how we could turn this into a cash flowing business and make some serious money.

The MVP

It’s been laid out for us already. Walk around your neighborhood hiding cash around the city. Start with super obvious land mark spots to get people to quickly start following you then go to increasingly harder places to find.

Build up your following like the above folks and you have 2 potential streams of income.

• Partner with locations to pay the “drop” fee and a contract fee, driving traffic to their location at a specific day/time.

At 50k followers (after posting for 2 months) you would be able to charge ~$1,000 to post with a partner with a business to bring folks to a specific location at a specific time.

• Add stickers on the hidden cash of partner businesses

Adding stickers with a logo on it can land you about $2,000 per post for some branded guerrilla marketing that will be viewed by 100k+ people per post.

Path to 6 Figure Revenue

At this point these numbers are insane.

Let’s say you did a $60 money drop twice a week every week for 2 months. That’s about $60 × 2 (twice a week) × 8 (weeks in 2 months) = $960 so far invested (and a whole lotta steps)

You’ll be able to make that back in a SINGLE POST once you decided to monetize. So how much could we make doing this?

If we can land 2 “drop” fees at $1k ea and 1 “sticker” fee at $2k ea per week. We would be looking at $16k a month!

A cool $200k salary just for walking.

Viability:

1 [building spaceships] 🚀 to 5 [easy peasy] 😊 

This thing is easy peasy. Just takes a little upfront cash and a lot of walking. But these folks are

(As usual each business will have it’s own setbacks, and it’s all about the execution and consistency rather than just having the idea)

It’s a great day to be great!
