  • If you are interested in learning how to turn your CNC projects to make money with your CNC, subscribe to learn how to use your CNC and turn it into a business. It doesn't matter if you have a CNC router, CNC laser, CNC plasma cutter, etc. You can make money with a CNC machine.
    For beginners...a list of start-up tools is below.
    All CNC machines at the hobby level can be turned into a lucrative business if you look at the long game and create opportunities for it. It can be plasma cutters. CNC laser cutters and etcher, CNC routers, or other CNC machining equipment. It all can generate solid consistent revenue that comes to you, rather than you going to it.
    The tips in this video are fundamental to getting and keeping business for your CNC
    Getting business for your CNC money-making interest can be a challenge unless you set yourself up properly by building relationships first with those who have the money to spend. Businesses are an excellent place to start because they already have a clientele.
    However, it is important to approach businesses showing interest in them first. My typical approach is to either give them something out of the kindness of my heart, to show interest in their business challenges or ask their guidance.
    This almost always opens the door to report and relationship building. During the conversation, you are also providing information about what you are doing (CNC business)
    Somewhere along the friendly conversation, they will start to think about what you can provide for them. at the same time, you will also be building credibility and eventually, access to their client base which opens the floodgates to business, returning customers, etc. This will lead to higher quality (and paid) work for your CNC machine.

    ...At the end of the day, relationship is all we have... During my past corporate life, my businesses learned from another great mentor/teacher in Larry Levine and his book "Selling from the Heart". IF you care less about the invoice and more about seeing that customer prosper(personally, business, etc.), best case you develop a customer for life who will also be your greatest calling card. Worse case, you gain a valued friend... I've never seen the worse case result.

    It is rare to fine such qualities these day even with people in our age group. I am the same way, truly like to give extra value. Many don't bother with small jobs - they discount any importance of it. I once custom made some thresholds. Was a small job that I had no interest in but did it because I was asked. About a year latter they had me build them a $30,000 custom kitchen. They told me that the only reason why they considered me was because they saw the care and attention that I had put into the thresholds. Since then over the years I have done about $75,000 in other work. All because of a small uneventful job.

    • @IDCWoodcraft
      @IDCWoodcraft  2 года назад

      This is the best awareness you can have. It's the same with me.
      I can sell $300 of router bits in one order. That's a larger order. And I write a thank you card. When I get an order for a $7 collet, I do the same. It's not the dollar value that makes the return attention important. It's caring enough about the person on the otherside to realize the porder was a need they wanted fulfilled.
      $7 or $300...there is still a person on the other side.

    As a former commercial CNC machinist and CNC prop maker for signage and "Hollywood North", when I moved off-grid to Belize, I started into hand carving old world utensils, namely spoons. I have been asked over the past three years to do all sorts of unique carvings that I am really not aligned to do other than straight geometric designs, but with my experiences in doing almost everything with CNC machines, I thought the now-accessible personal CNC option a clear path... With so many moving here from the sates and Canada as well as Europe, there are many home building endeavours going on. I also know some luthiers and decor chain store managers that have asked if my "woodworking" will be available for them to decorate, tool up and beautify there space(s). I am up to this, and elated my past aligns so well for it. I think the discounts and friendliness of the farmers markets here have established me as a name for quality and astonishment, so this is the next phase to wow the real business and fulfill corporate and wholesale requests. I basically did your "long game" already! It was painstaking, but a great learning opportunity, and I have great folks to thank for the moral support through the pandemic that we weathered well through with unique wood creations.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m looking to get into cnc to add to what I’m already doing. It’s not full time just a side thing thing right now but would like to grow into something bigger. Give you a little background, me and my son make cutting boards. I know sounds simple but it’s a long process. I own a sawmill and we take it from log to wood to cutting boards. It’s a lengthy process. I want to be different I could just sell slabs of wood but I want to take my wood from tree to my own piece of art to offer to a customer. The cutting boards sell pretty good but now people want their boards personalized(example) things like, mom’s kitchen or their last name engraved and so on. That’s where I think the cnc would come in for me. So anyway sorry to be so lengthy on story just wanted to share so you have a understanding and you know I’m very interested in learning your craft. Looking at purchasing the long mill 30x30 to use for this. Be glad to share pictures to show some things and ideas I have thank you for you time!!!

That's really cool that you use your own lumber and using the cnc for personalizing your cutting boards would work awesome! You could make some really amazing boards for people! You're right a cnc would absolutely change your game and a longmill would be a great choice! It's been a really great machine for me!
      If you do choose the longmill, I was wondering if you could do me a favor, if you can use my link when you buy yours. It gives me a little pocket change. Thanks! Here's the link, if you decide to use it: sienci.com/product/longmill-mk2/?ref=IDCWOODCRAFT.

We built a small lake house not far from Charlevoix and spend 6 -7 months of the year there. (I am not fond of the cold and snow that is there now). I too have done wood work as a hobby and am looking to buy a CNC to take it to another level. I started hand carving signs a couple of years ago. I hope to buy a cmc this spring. Still looking at them and leaning towards Shapeoko. All they do is CNC and they are US made, good reviews and product support. Some other brands I considered had some really bad reviews that scared me away.

      @@IDCWoodcraft I’m looking to get into the boating and marine products here in Jacksonville Florida.
      Had a plastics company in Las Vegas 17 years ago. I found a niche starting out in the beauty business making nail polish wall racks. Moved to Florida worked for several companies programming and running there CNC equipment. I’ve kept in close contact with distributors over the years and developed new relationships here . Purchased a small shapeoko xxl and found out quickly it was too small for the route I wanted to take. Placed an order with AVID two weeks ago for a 5X10 CNC, pretty excited about that right now. With retirement just months away, I will retire to my 1000sqft shop in my back yard and make things happen. Your videos on niches is so important and developing those relationships are key for any Business just starting out. Also the ramp up time you mentioned, whew. If somebody doesn’t know anything about CNC work is incredible. The first machine I had was a 5X12 and between the software to run it and learning to hack out some cad drawings, almost made me want to return the machine and just forget it. It took me almost 6 months to get comfortable using the CNC so yes your videos are spot on. The area I’m lacking in is this new marketing angle. Used to you’d buy a yellow page add, make up some fliers and business cards and start meeting people and doing some work. It don’t run like that these days. Aww, I’ve babbled on long enough, thanks for putting your videos out. Keep it up. Ever need something done here in Florida look me up. Jerry55fl@gmail.com

    Great video! Thinking about getting into the CNC game. Mostly because I think the stuff you can make is cool. I'm retired and always being asked by the wife and daughters, Dad can you make that, I say Probably. Anyhow. I have a grandson that is some what of a entrepreneur. I thought about getting a smaller CNC and seeing if he would like to learn with me and if I find I like it, then I would by a bigger one and give him the smaller. If I try it and don't like it, then I'd give him the smaller one. I guess he makes out either way. Anyhow, so far I'm liking your info and presentation. Thanks.
