#13so whats this super secret tool he uses, unfortunately i cant bring myself to visit his site, has anyone checked?
The website shows something like a net but with a trash bag instead of netting[0][1].
It appears the thing he's holding in the picture in the article[2] is not a prop but is the same tool.

Looks like a wire frame and handle with a metal plate that sits flat at ground level. The wire frame (bit like a coathanger) holds the mouth of the bag open. A plastic bag gets sandwiched in so it's easy to sweep material into the bag, and then remove the bag from the mouth/handle contraption to tie up and dispose of.

But also 53k/month is revenue. Who knows what the profit margin is there? If he's subbing out all that work it could be very little. It feels a bit misleading to mention that as revenue and in other cases mention a six-figure operation. Six-figure could mean anything from $100k to $999k. So which is it, there's quite a huge difference. Usually when people say six figures they would mean somewhere around $100k. Is wha…
I always roll my eyes when I see people only highlighting revenue with no other context. I always assume the margins are small. In the article when it talks about a "six figure operation", I think they are referring to the $650k in revenue, which would be a six figure operation. I don't see any clues into what he's taking home.
Yeah... I went to also read the website where he's selling a guide, and there he is saying
"All it takes is a few minutes each day, at each property to keep the sites litter-free. If you’re looking for a simple, low-risk business with the potential to earn you a 6 figure income, order the manual right now."
So I had this in mind, because here he mentioned income, but I used the wording from the article.
It always irks me as well when people say "figures" like that because it's a range of 1 to 10x, and it seems he really enjoys doing that.
Another quote from him "I’ve been cleaning up litter in and around commercial properties for over 30 years and I’ve been earning a 6 figure income from it."

Basically it's just an ad to sell a get rich quick scheme, and the only one to get rich is the one selling the scheme
