Alright, onto the real content. I wanted to share a quick business idea with you all that I personally started when I got laid off from my sales job and needed to make some quick cash. This idea is heavily trending (we’ll discuss more in a bit), requires no tech skills, and can be started with just a bit of grit. So, let's dive right into it!

Introducing: ✨Luxury Pop-Up Picnics 🌳🍉✨

I’ll run you through a day in the life. First, wake up to a bank deposit and schedule confirmation email. Then I go about my day, hit the gym, and study for a bit. About around 6 PM, I’ll find a cozy picnic spot at a beach or local park. Then I’ll lay some blankets, arrange a little table and ice bucket, and add throw pillows and flowers to create a picturesque setup. Two hours later, I pack everything up and drive home, pocketing $250 for minimal effort (and less than 2 hours of “work”. Thus, Golden Hour Gatherings was born.

The growing popularity of "Luxury Pop-Up Picnics" is evident, with over 108K Instagram posts and more than 14.1M TikTok views on the hashtag "PopUpPicnic". And the best part? Your customers will promote your business for you through their social media-worthy experiences.

With startup costs around $1,000, you could quickly reach $5K/month in profit. Feeling ambitious? Franchise this model to other cities or expand your event services.

very scenic if you ask me

I started my journey with a $250 monthly budget for Google Ads and Instagram Ads. My startup costs totaled around $1,050. Each picnic netted $250, leaving me with a $200 profit. Five picnics later, I had practically broken even. Here’s some quick napkin math for you,


+$250 Ads

+$750 (blankets and pillows are expensive)

+$50 gas (would be less if I didn’t drive a truck)

= Total Startup cost of $1,050

Below are some of the top performing keywords I used.

Cost Per Click on your “location” + picnic is a lot more effective than “pop up picnic”
