How to Start a Vending Business (Volume 1)

The vending machine buisness is fascinating, and can be potentially lucrative. But, you must know what you are doing. This book will walk you through the process of finding the best deals on machines, how to secure profitable locations for your machines, and how to manage your route. The author also goes into how to recognize potential scams. I liked this book because every word of it was written from the author's first hand experience in the industry. The information appears unbiased and objective, and gives the reader a good ida of what to expect in the vending machine business. For an opposing view on this subject, you may want to check out The Vending Machine Home Business Opportunity: 3 Questions You Must Consider Before Getting Started . If you are looking for an alternative way to build a business and make a passive income from home, reading this book is a good place to start. Believe me, I have had some painful experiences in this business. I wish I had read this book before venturing into the vending business.

If you are looking to start a bulk vending business, this is the only book you need to read. The author is very thorough, and he covers everything you need to know, such as how to locate machines, keeping track of inventory and expenses, and setting up the business legally. Keep in mind, this book covers bulk vending ONLY, not snack/soda machine vending. However, the author quickly convinces you that bulk vending is the way to go anyway. It is cheaper to start, requires much less time each week, and has substantially higher profit margins. I also appreciated the fact that the author has real life experience in vending...in fact, he makes a pretty good living at it. If you have any questions, he is happy to answer them for you. Well done, Mr. Cameron!

This was a very informative book, an easy read and I was able to finish the entire book in about two hours. It reads like a novel so it never gets dull like some of the other trade books out there. The book was clearly self-published and lacked a proper proof reading so it does have a few grammatical errors here and there, but nothing that can't be overlooked. The book can be a tad one-sided and the author consistently tells you to do things exactly his way, which is not always the best way, but it provides a good starting point. My advice is to read Vending Success Secrets: How Anyone Can Grow Rich in America's Best Cash Business for a less bias look at starting your own vending business. For instance, Antoine Cameron mentions right away that buying Runts is a mistake, however, Runts have been rated the #2 best selling candy in the industry. Just remember not to take everything Antoine Cameron says to the gospel. It is important to find your niche and do works best for you. All in all, this was a good read and had some useful information about getting started in the bulk candy vending business. My suggestion is to read this and at least 2 or 3 other books on the subject before getting started.

I purchased this book along with a few others, and luckily Antoine's book was the first one I read. I found myself from the first page looking for a highlighter to mark important things to remember and go back on. I highlighted and circled many things in the book, and it seems I keep picking up this book and referring back to it. I finished the book really easy and gained a lot of information. I then went to the second book from another author and felt like I just got spoiled on prime rib and was going to bologna. Funny but that's how I felt. It seems like the other books might be judged by this one.....thanks Antoine! I also notice that Antoine is not afraid to give out the little things....you know....the secrets...such as what company or sites he goes to for his business. I notice that other authors do not give that information out and if they do, it is mixed with other companies......and they never disclose which is the best company or website. Thanks again Antoine!

I thought this book was a very good resource for anyone interested in earning passive income through vending machines. This is (in my opinion) a very comprehensive guide that will answer most of the questions you may have about the vending business. This includes which specific brands of machines are the best (and which ones to avoid), and problems that arise from using certain styles of machines. Also included are which types of vending (bubble gum, soda, candy bars, etc) are most profitable, how to find places to put your machines, identify scams, keep records, restocking, just about everything. This is a good, honest guide that I think would be helpful to anyone who purchased it. I recommend!

I loved this book, with all the tips and tricks I would recommend for anyone who doesn't have a clear cut idea on how to get started in the candy vending space.

This book was very helpful.

This is actually a really well thought out book and written well also - however, the entire plan hinges on the fact that you have to be able to place machines. The company he recommends (KickStart Locations) is one of the sloppiest companies I've ever encountered. It is obviously a small time operation run by some guy in Florida's cell phone. He's hired people overseas to cold call - they barely speak or understand English - so you wind up with a bunch of garbage and trying to talk your way into these "leads". I would give this book 5 stars if it wasn't for that single time-wasting recommendation of KickStart and contemplated giving it 1 star because of it. Antoine, this is well written, but your recommendation of KickStart is absolutely horrible advice that you might want to consider revising.

Great Book! Gives plently of information that I would of missed if I had started without this. I 100% reccomend it!!!
