If you guys have seen my posts, you'll know how much I push how easy it is to make money offline. When I first got involved in IM in 2009, things were so easy online. Literally everything made money. Now it's a bit trickier due to more competition. Everyone wants to make money online. Introverts who don't like social interaction, people who can't deal with having a boss, people who want to travel, people who are too sick to work, everyone. Which is why if you're a healthy, confident individual who can deal with people, I suggest mixing your online marketing abilities with offline work.
Recently, thanks to over a decade of experience, I still find it easy to make money online but I couldn't imagine starting in this day, which is why I'm bringing a super easy way to make money offline with online marketing.
Gyms are closed.
What does this mean? Millions of people in nearly every country are without a gym and looking to make a gym at home, in their basement/garage/whatever.
Every passing day, gym goers are losing muscle when they're not training, becoming more and more desperate for a solution. What does that mean? Willing to pay more and more.
The method? Building and selling squat racks on classified sites.
Take a look.
What do you need?
- Power Drill
- Measuring Square
- Miter Saw (Alternative: Hand Saw)
- Xacto Knife and Brush for cleaning up holes
Personally I don't have a miter saw, but I have a grandfather, two uncles and a friend who each have one. None of them would have an issue with me showing up with a pickup truck full of lumber to make 100 cuts tomorrow.
If you don't have hands-on people in your family or friends, you can grab the saw on Amazon for a couple hundred bucks, but you should probably have someone teach you how to use it. Don't call me when you cut off your finger. I have one uncle and one grandfather who both lost a couple fingers from this saw. They are dangerous, even with 30 years of experience. Pay attention.
Full tutorials for building squat racks are all over Google: https://www.garagegymreviews.com/diy-squat-rack-guide
To test the market, I listed one for $1000 in my area, just to test the market in Canada. I used Kijiji, but you can use any classifieds site.
I quickly got a dozen messages with some offers and removed the ad. Okay so the method works.
A common complaint I'm sure I'll get is: "But I live in India and people don't have $500+ to spend on such thing"
Squat racks are expensive, no matter where you buy them, meaning you'll be able to sell them for a premium. I'm sure your cost of living is lower and your cost of materials is lower, so even selling it for a reduced price will yield you a substantial income compared to others in your country.
The one thing I can't speak for is the fitness culture in other countries. USA, Canada, UK, Australia, etc have a considerable amount of population who aspire to look like a Calvin Klein model. I don't know how many people prioritize their health and physical appearance in other countries, so it's up to you to know whether gyms are popular enough to make this work.
There are so many designs you can use, and other gym equipment you can make out of wood. If you're a welder, you have even more options. Most people took welding class in high school so it's just a matter of getting access.
The money is out there for those who want it. Get creative and get to work.
Godspeed and good luck.

Consider hiring, and you could probably do even more, as employment right now is low.
