A pandemic brought crisis to Miller, but he also developed a business acumen.

Before the outbreak of the new crown virus, Quinn Miller was in charge of a digital advertising start-up company in California, including performance dividends, with an annual salary of about 240,000 US dollars (7.36 million Taiwan dollars).

Compared with the latest data from the United States, the average annual salary of workers is $53,383, and Miller's salary has already approached the top 5%.

But a pandemic brought everything to a standstill. Miller's clients in the retail, restaurant and entertainment industries have also slashed their budgets. Even if Miller extended his working hours, he could barely achieve the performance.

In the spring when the epidemic was raging, a Twitter article caught his attention. Someone set up a vending machine in an office building to earn passive income.

In June and July of 2021, he bought two vending machines for US$5,000, and his sideline business started. The progress was very slow at the beginning, because he expected to scale up, he simply resigned from his full-time job in the summer and devoted himself to the vending machine business.

Miller said, "I am very happy that I took this risk. Now I have 57 sellers scattered all over the city where I live, bringing me an average monthly income of US$30,000 (about NT$920,000)" .

In the past two years, the cost of purchasing a vending machine was about 160,000, "but because I have savings and no debts, and now I only need to work 6 hours a week to maintain the operation of the vending machine."

But Miller is not idle at other times. He will continue to look for new locations to set up vending machines. Like many Internet celebrities, he will record his entrepreneurial experience as an online paid course. money to help you pay your bills."
