John Wilker Interview – Middle-Man Business
Episode Description:In this episode we interview John Wilker, a small business owner who has developed a relatively simple yet highly effective and profitable middle-man business model. He was a contractor, but then stumbled upon an unmet need for the brokerage of industrial shipping products like wooden pallets. John has since developed a repeatable system that he teaches others.
John is former contractor who is now a small business owner. He has developed a simple yet effective business model for providing middle-man services for businesses that ship and receive products. Specifically, he acquires industrial byproducts, the kind of stuff that’s used for shipping like pallets, cardboard boxes, crates, and so on, and sells them to others for a profit.
John has also developed The Simplest Biz Training Course to help you develop your own middle-man business.
As John explains, “Bottom line is I’m a middleman.” John has developed a business that requires few if any employees, no inventory and no warehouse space. “It’s quite simple…but has to be set up in the correct manner for it to work,” John explains.

Time Investment and a Typical Day
To give an idea of the amount of time John spends on his business he described what he had done recently done. He started at 7:30 and picked up 125 pallets from his supplier. He tipped a forklift driver $10 to load them for him and drove them to a tractor part business 3.5 miles away. He sold the pallets for $7 each and made a gross of $875. Deducting the $10 tip and some gas money John said he made $860 for 50 minutes work. The tractor business gave John 160 corrugated boxes for free just to take them off their hands. John then sold these for $4.75 each to a metal fabricator. Making another $754 for 45 minutes work. That’s $1,614 profit – not a bad morning!
