#836 Want to turn 25¢ postage into a $1,000+ profit mailer — without ever touching a single postcard? In this cross-promoted interview from Nick Loper’s The Side Hustle Show, Nick sits down with Dalton Joyner and Rachel Smith of Big Sky Automation to break down a surprisingly profitable twist on Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM): selling shared postcard ad space to local businesses. They explain how they shrunk their mailings to hyper-targeted neighborhoods (around 2,500 homes) to keep costs low, then filled each card with up to 16 advertisers at around $150 per spot — creating a repeatable extra-income model with strong retention. You’ll hear how they land advertisers (Facebook Messenger, email, and smart targeting like Valpak), why category exclusivity is a huge selling point, how they outsource printing + bundling so they never touch the postcards, and how this “shared advertising” offer can become the perfect foot-in-the-door lead generator for higher-ticket services!
