You’ve probably seen all those videos claiming vending machines are an easy passive income stream. $1,000 a month? $10,000? Everyone seems to say something different.
So I decided to find out for myself — kind of.
Instead of doing it personally, I handed the challenge to my producer Caroline… who’s never run a business, never touched a vending machine, and had zero experience going in. Just like most people starting out.
Over 30 days, we documented everything — from pitching the machines and picking locations, to real sales numbers, tech breakdowns, and what actually worked (and what flopped hard).
Here’s what we cover:
How much vending machines cost (new vs. used)
What kind of products actually sell
What to expect with maintenance, fees, and setup headaches
The REAL numbers: revenue, profit, ROI, and time invested
Whether this can be a legit side hustle… or if it’s just hype
We made mistakes, hit roadblocks, pivoted — and tracked it all on camera.
If you’ve ever thought about getting into vending machines, or you just want to see what it’s really like to start a cash-flowing biz from scratch, this video’s for you.
Let’s get into it.

Hi... I'm Codie.
If we haven't met, I build and buy businesses and help you make money. I used to work on Wall Street and in Private Equity for too many years. Then I realized I'd rather YOU AND I own our businesses locally instead. So I built up Main Street Holding Company, Contrarian Thinking Capital & Co. Now, we own and grow dozens of businesses. My mission is to create 100,000 business owners and help 1 million of us build profitable businesses. I hope you’re one.
Here's what I know for sure... those who say it's impossible should get out of the way of those of you who are doing it!! ❤️
