The first placement went really fast. . . . In my excitement, I created a new dance which I call my "placement shuffle".

Within three months of delivery, all five snack machines (plus the three new ones) were placed, and four of the five soda machines were placed. The lone remaining soda machine sat in my garage for another month until one of the snack-only locations wanted me to place it next to a Pepsi machine. That Pepsi machine was taken out less than a year later, so then I had the entire location to myself.

I bought two more soda machines in the second year. Currently all eight snack machines are placed, and five of the seven soda machines are placed.

The best feature is "being your own boss". The hourly pay is excellent.

Go in with realistic expectations.
Don't expect to get rich overnight.
Don't let the machines get too empty.
Rotate your snacks (at least one) frequently, and
Enjoy the experience: it's more fun than it is work.
