"How to Start a Billboard Business: $30k a Month Part-Time":
The opportunity: Billboards can be a lucrative passive income stream, especially with limited supply due to regulations.
The story: Chris bought a rundown billboard for $75k, rented out the ad space, and now earns $2400 per month. He has expanded to include more billboards with even higher earnings.
Key factors for success: Location (visibility, traffic count), pricing (based on traffic and competition), and long-term contracts (usually 12 months).
Static vs. Digital billboards: Static requires less maintenance but needs reprints for ad changes. Digital allows for more ad rotation but has higher costs.
The real wealth potential: Billboard ownership appreciates in value. Major companies buy billboards for 7-12 times their annual revenue.
Management: The business can be run with minimal tech - spreadsheets and a tool like LandGlide for scouting locations.
Time commitment: Once established, billboard businesses can be relatively passive, requiring around 5 hours per week for management.
Chris's next steps: He aims to double his billboard portfolio and launch a coaching course ("The Billboard Academy") to teach others this strategy.
