How an Asphalt Sealing Job Changed our life!

I would like to give you some background on who I am and how you can make a great living or part time income from an asphalt sealing job.

When I was 18 I got a part time job selling for a paving company that did driveways. It didn't take me long to figure out that if these guys were willing to pay me a 20% commission on all my sales, that there was some real serious money in this business. I was selling over $5,000 worth of sealcoating jobs weekly. If you do the calculations, I was 18 years old and making $1,000 per week in commissions.

I got together with my dad and told him what I was doing and asked him what he thought of it -- Dad quizzed me about a few things and then he asked me "Why aren't you selling for yourself?"

That's all I needed to hear. I borrowed $5000.00 from my Dad which allow me to buy some sealcoating equipment.

I bought an old trailer that I pulled behind my 86 diesel Jetta and I bought a simple electric pressure sprayer, that wasn't designed for Asphalt sealer (again, I learned this the hard way). I bought a 45 gallon drum of liquid asphalt sealer, (which was less than great quality as it turned out) and I bought a case of asphalt crack filler. Off I went --- selling door to door.

I had no plan, no help, other than from my dad lending me the money --- but believe it or not --- through hard work and learning -- I succeeded.

At the end of an 8 hr day I had sold and completed between 5 and 10 driveways at an average price of $150.00 per driveway. I couldn't believe it.

Don't forget I was only 18, with basically no sales and marketing experience, and no business experience at all. Yet I was able to make between $500 and $750 per day sealcoating asphalt driveways

I worked hard, and learned through my mistakes and re-invested and got better and bigger equipment to increase my productivity and got to the point where I started to specify my own asphalt sealer products and sealcoating marketing materials to help increase my sealcoating business conversion, which ultimately meant more money at the end of the day.

Everything I learned about asphalt came the hard way and that's why I decided to create AsphaltKingdom.com.

Boy oh boy, do I ever wish I would have had someone to give me all the answers back when I started. I can just imagine how far ahead I would be today!
