Now if you say that some 100,000 or so can do up the industry, most people may think that it is a small business, at best, just earn some hard money. However, in reality, there are many of these seemingly insignificant small businesses that make even more profitable income in a year than opening a small processing plant!
While many industries with small investments have been shared in previous articles for your reference, when it comes to unexpected profits, the two industries I'm going to share with you below are definitely the best. If you don't believe me, keep reading!
1. Recycling of used spark plugs
When it comes to the spark plugs that are replaced during car maintenance, very few people may look into its value in real life, so this industry, whether it's recycling or reprocessing after recycling, is relatively cold, and basically doesn't have much competition. And with more and more cars, this source is becoming more and more abundant.
Speaking of abundant supply, many friends may not think so. Although every garage will have this kind of goods, but the number is certainly not much, and it may not be realistic to do in large quantities. But from most of the vendors to understand the information, such as this kind of scrap spark plugs, a day only need to charge dozens or hundreds of pounds! I was also surprised when I learned about this kind of market, but after learning about its real profit margin, I realized what is really profiteering!
Scrap spark plugs like these are basically priced at about 30 cents a piece in some areas if they are recycled directly at the garage, and even some garages will dispose of them along with other scrap. But after they are collected and selected by some vendors, the recycling price is around 8 yuan. Meanwhile, according to the vendors in this industry, there are about 10 to 12 spark plugs per pound. If you count 10 of them, the recycling price for a catty is around $3. (The price is for reference only, depending on the area)
According to the recycling of most vendors, it is very easy for them to collect more than 100 pounds a day. If the time is long and the customers are stable, they can even collect about 150 to 200 pounds a day. That is to say, only recycling used spark plugs, without processing, and without investing in any equipment. Daily income of 8800 is still very easy. The key is that a person can do it without much investment.
2. Recycling of scrap tires
Based on my personal experience of more than 7 years in the scrap tire business, the current scrap tire recycling business is this kind of small business in the low-threshold, small investment, and substantial profit industry. But this industry can only be done after really getting into the business and not everyone can succeed.
First of all, there are many types of scrap tires, and the recycling price ranges from more than 10 yuan to more than 100 yuan. If you don't know how much you're losing by recycling a single tire, you're losing dozens of dollars. But if you know your business well, like some vendors who have been doing it for a long time, you can take advantage of this information gap and make dozens of dollars on a single tire. So the profitability depends entirely on your business skills.
The most common used car tires, for example. The current market recycling price has risen to six or seven dollars each. Cut and sent to the factory, the market recycling price can reach about 1350 tons, that is, about 12 tires. That is to say a used car tire gross profit can reach about five dollars. According to the recycling of most vendors, the collection of 200 to 300 tires a day, a year down more than 20 trips per month.
Though the math works out that way, not everyone can just pull it off. Many people may think there are a lot of scrap tires around. What kind of tires are there? What type are they and what material are they made of? If you don't know these things, you may not even be able to collect the goods, because each tire is made of different materials, and the recycling price, processing method, and sales direction are all different. If you want to talk about how a newbie should get into the business, then I will tell you with the experience gained from losing money. The first thing is to understand tires first, especially to learn the classification of several common waste tires. While this is the most basic of the trade, it is also the most important.
Especially for newbies with zero sales concepts, only by learning about these waste tires and their differences can you understand their uses, so there will be a general direction in sales. For example, some waste tires are mainly used to be processed into rubber granules for rubber raceway, so you have to go to some manufacturers about rubber raceway to understand. So learning to categorize is important not only for receiving but also for selling.
Overall, every industry has its own doorway, which can't be said in a few words. At the same time, no one will selflessly share their customers. Only those who really know the business, really know the business, little by little to figure out the experience is their own. The reality is that there are many people who are starting their own business, hoping to pin their hopes on a market, but what bosses are willing to work with a novice who can't even collect?
