A Money Making Device for Your Rentals

I've been running the experiment for a couple weeks now.

I'm using a SenseCAP hotspot with the antenna that comes with it.

The set up was confusing to me since I'm not a computer tech person. I had to have someone explain the language and details to me.

In hindsight, it seems quite simple.

WEEK 1

I average $1 per day by just placing the hotspot on my TV stand near a window on my 1st floor. It was about 2 ft above the floor.

I could have done better if I'd placed the device on my second floor, but I was intimidated by trying something new. I was my own worst enemy because the learning curve was taxing on me and I wasn't checking in frequently enough with my older brother who is mentoring me.

I probably wouldn't have fully set the device up if I didn't have a mentor.

WEEK 2

I relocated the hotspot to the top floor of my commercial building. It's now about 25 ft above the ground and sits in my laundry room. It now earns on average $2 per day using the weakest antenna but in a better location.

NEXT

I’m waiting for a special cable to arrive so I can connect the hotspot to an outdoor antenna that should give me 5x the broadcasting power.

I'm expecting to earn between $7 and $10 per day.

Stay tuned.

AND ... while you're waiting.
