"I always wanted to be an inventor. That's when I started really thinking about how I could bring some extra money in, but without sacrificing that safety net that I had built at my job."
"The more I looked into it, the more I was like, 'OK, there's really no risk in trying this, outside that original financial obligation of $2,500 to buy the ATM.'"
"You're only there for 10 minutes to load it up, and then you're on your way. An ATM is the closest thing that I have personally found to passive income."
"Beginners are better off starting with ATMs than vending machines, which require more time and heavy lifting."
William Butterton, an electrical engineer, began exploring side projects after the birth of his daughter. He discovered ATM placement as a low-risk venture requiring an initial investment of $2,500. Butterton and his partner founded Viking Vendors in 2022, operating five ATMs and three vending machines by March 2026. They earn about $1,500 monthly in profit, spending minimal time on maintenance. He advises beginners to start with ATMs over vending machines due to lower time commitments and physical demands.
