I totally disagree with his comment about paid adds is the best. I would say Word of Mouth is the Best advertising and as long as you provide Good service with Good Honest Product your customers will remain both happy and returning customers and they will tell all their friends and family members about you and your product.
Marketing for income with food is the oldest scam. Why pay for something if its free to grow. I feed over 10000 people for free every year from my farm and its fully automated for harvest every 10 days.
So if I get it this guy is selling the plants in development of what I don’t get it 😭
Bro, your audio quality is terrible!!!
Great interview! Learned a lot, thanks!
How about electric bill
What kind of cult is this? I’m getting douché vibes.
12K revenue but how much is profit? soil and seed isnt your only cost, hwo do you get it to the customer? they come take it out of your hands at your door?
you probably need FDA testing and stuff…
Sorry but don’t you pay taxes or must have licences for selling food in fkin’ Murrica? These are more important costs you’re not considering.
Second, if that profits were real he would have much more racks, to make more money. Probably this dude sells microgreens seed and only wanted to make a fraudolent advertising for free
why the green screen ?
Garbage scam, buy my course
How to get buyers?
yeaaaa rich people will buy every kind of crap.
How much does the electricity cost per month? Theres another $150 off your profit
Gotta setup shop at farmers
market
Quick answer : he multiplied the price by 12, I just saved you half an hour
who buys it?
@tylertumminelli I don’t believe any of this. I say your making more money on selling the idea than the business itself. I have a nice rack and we grow really nice microgreens but have never sold anything in a year. Prove me wrong! You are selling hype for a product most people do not want.
✊✊✊
It’s not about growing; it’s about selling.
Something aint right about this. Dude’s just casually talking about how easy he can make 1k a week, and he only has 1 rack? He only has 1 rack because that’s all he can sell.
:sad i wish i could get a trays worth of seeds for only a few bucks wven at american buxks standanda 🙁
Ya this is a total phuckin shill channel. Youtube should really have flags for stuff like this
You talked about it, but I would imagine a huge benefit of microgreens compared to other crops is the fact that any "catastrophic crop loss" is usually only the result of a week or two of work. Growing stuff that takes months and requires a certain timeline (can’t be replanted) is stressful
I am looking upto u guys just like u did and let’s meet after six months where u will interview me for being the best and doing amazing for the first time in micro greens in India
He said everyone wants to get in this business with the “fancy videos”..bahahaha
great video but audio sucks
I am gaining nearby 128k thanksgiving suggestions n blessed by your vlog videos 🫡🙏🙏🙏💐🇮🇳
What’s best temperature run?
I don’t understand how one rack can bring in $500. You could buy all the greens you can see in this video for under $500.
Link to the lights used? Also do you use trays with or without holes in the bottom?
Nice video! I’ve thought to grow micro greens for quite a while & never have done anything about it
It’s been a side thought for years
Even now I’m still unfortunately doing nothing about it, but seeing this has got me motivated a lot more to try
I have a small LED grow light so I’m thinking I might just finally get off my bum and get a single tray to just start out, like this guy recommends.
I’m in Australia, so I think the opportunities to make money aren’t going to be anywhere near as great here as they would be in a country with several hundred million people as its population lol
I imagine I’d just start out growing for myself & giving my friends and family some too if they wanted any
I don’t know how i could go about finding people who would want to buy from me
I only ever see 1 stall or so at farmers markets here with micro greens, so I think it’d be a challenge to try make money from it in that way sadly & they are only once a week or once a fortnight too those markets
7min16secs discloses 2 VEry Important things 2nd AnyOne can Be a business One and First This Business One being interviewed and the interviewer do not know basic multiplication 20 by 3 equal less than a 100. Which is true…. but not exact and or precise.
If i can only grow 1 microgreen would would be the best for newbies ???
Use a lapel mic your piece to camera will come across much better and retain more viewers. Sound is the most important thing.
The only issue i have is how to find customers.

You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

bro you got 1 million views on this video, reinvest some of that youtube money to get a proper microphone wtf.. trash audio = less subscribers.
i can grow them relatively easily…however my only challenge left is finding enough buyers that will buy out all my racks at $20 per tray…this is my biggest problem
This is not a viable business It takes thousands of acres produce the seed
Probaly you can spend time with the crops learning multiplication!!!
bro fix your mic

It was inspiring to work there.
Be handy if you actually show wtf he’s doing and set up! This is yet just another grifter coming in at a different angle! If he wasn’t selling courses I’d of gotten something from the video.
Link to the grow lights ????
Where to get a license to sell it in EU – germany?
De cuanto son esos Led?? Gracias 👍💪
Bro. You were definitely growing some fire.
