    If the bills are paid and food is on the table then you are doing it good.

    Dang you aren’t making shit for the amount of labor you’re doing. At $3 a bundle that’s way too cheap.

    $200 bundles and your only grossing $600 so your bundles sale for $3 dollars a piece. I was in Stater Brothers today buying bundles of firewood for $6 a piece. you should really consider raising your prices or double your prices for that matter. maybe come up with your own Firestarter put it in a sandwich bag and staple it to the side of every bundle and change your name to Joe's fire and Flint service. oh and also you should look into shrink wrap. I think it would hold the bundles together better and it would be faster than cutting all those strings and tying all those knots. thanks for the video sir

    So in Joe's pro experience, Since I am a new wood seller would you say bundles aren't a full time way to make good money but in the summer since it is slower for selling cords. Is having some suppliers like campgrounds a necessity to have to keep a income year round?

    Your margins are to low and your labor costs are to high. Try and find ways to reduce those two and you actually make a profit. Right now your lucky to break even, so your working for less than minimum wedge.

    Joe, your willingness to work at a lower profit should translate to higher volume sold, even if you went up on price by 25 or 50 cent a bundle, you are still lots cheaper than most of the bundle fire wood out there,, and you are using real log split wood, not a by product of the furniture mfg, or housing mfg, just saw some bundled wood for sale, it was ALL 2x2's ,2x4's , not one split round in the whole bundle, it was still 6 bucks for it.

  • @tomhenson2159
    @tomhenson2159 6 лет назад +2

    Hey Joe, don’t think your getting enough $ out of that.
    There are other indirect expenses that should go into it, like insurance, truck repairs & maint., cost of saw, splitter and their repair & maint., and things like that. It all adds up and comes out of your pocket.

    • @tomhenson2159
      @tomhenson2159 6 лет назад

      CaptainJoe9 , you could try tacking on a delivery fee ($40-50). And see if they can take a double order (134 bundles) . Hook up a small trailer to your truck to haul the additional bundles.
