Testing TikTok Side Hustles - Quarter Vending Machines #vendingmachine #money #business

Supposedly, you can make a lot of money with vending machines. In this article, we'll explore this side hustle by documenting an experiment with a quarter vending machine.

I couldn't get my hands on a regular vending machine, so I opted for a quarter-operated one instead. Purchasing this machine was fairly straightforward; I found a deal on OfferUp for $ 100. The seller was cool and mentioned that he never used it, so it was essentially brand new.

After acquiring the machine, I took it home for a thorough cleaning and ensured everything was in working order. The next step was sourcing candies, so I turned to Amazon, as it already had Skittles available. I decided to order an additional pack of Skittles along with some Mike and Ike candies.

Once the candies arrived, I loaded them into the machine and ran some tests. I quickly noticed an issue: the machine was dispensing too many pieces of Mike and Ike. To resolve this, I adjusted the dispensing mechanism by making the hole smaller. Unfortunately, it was still dispensing too many candies.

Despite this hiccup, I’m eager to determine how profitable this venture could be. Everything is now set up, and in the next part, I’ll be placing the machine at a location to monitor its profit potential.
