The Most Profitable Business You Can Run From a Phone
Eli built a trailer subleasing business from one trailer to 300 units, hitting $250K/month, managed entirely from a phone over six years.
The gist
-
Lease trailers for $350/month from suppliers on net-30 terms, then rent them to truckers for $750/month to be cash flow positive from day one.
-
Simple trailer photos posted on Facebook Marketplace landed 10 units in the first 2 months with no ad spend required.
-
Spending $5,000/month on Facebook and Instagram ads brought in 25 new clients monthly, roughly a 10x return on ad spend.
-
Two bilingual remote workers hired through Upwork handled ads, client onboarding, and billing, freeing the owner to focus on growth.
