A monthly income of over 10,000 yuan is no longer a dream! Community errand service becomes the new favorite

Stop envying the delivery guy who earns over 10,000 yuan a month. The community errand service can also help you easily achieve high income! In this fast-paced era, more and more people choose to stay at home and enjoy a convenient life. The community errand service just meets their needs. Just move your fingers and you can solve all kinds of trivial matters in life. Let's take a look at the charm of this emerging industry!

Doing errands for the owners of the community can actually earn over 10,000 yuan a month? Isn't this better than working as a delivery boy?

Today I will share with you a business that has become popular on TikTok recently, which is a errand service within the community.

1. Helping owners run errands to make money

Everyone is familiar with the local errand running services provided by Meituan, Ele.me and Dada in recent years, but people are still not particularly familiar with or accepting of errand running services only within the community.

It is actually quite simple to run errands for the owners of the community. Now many express deliveries are placed at express stations, gates, supermarkets, and express lockers. Although it is now required to be delivered to the door, there are still many that are placed in other places. Some high-end communities even do not allow takeout and express delivery to enter the community.

Some owners may ask you to help with delivery, especially for large items or those that are far away.

I will give you 50 cents or 1 yuan for helping you pick up a package. After all, the package has been kept in the express cabinet for a long time and the price is about the same.

In addition to express delivery, some people also have needs like help buying soy sauce, roast duck, milk tea, etc.

Some people earn over ten thousand yuan a month by running errands for community owners.

To sum up, the community errand service mainly helps with picking up and delivering items.

Not only do we do C-end business, but we also do B-end business, which involves express delivery, group purchase order delivery, etc.

The core of running errands in the community is timeliness, and it must reflect the words "community delivery" so that it can create a differentiated advantage over ordinary errands and takeout.

2. The community should be large

This business doesn’t look sexy at all, nor does it look easy at all. After all, running errands is a physical job.

So who exactly does this errand business serve? And what kind of communities can do this?

1. The community should be large

This large core means that there should be many owners in the community, at least 300 households. If it is not enough, then the surrounding communities should be closely connected.

2. The floor should be high

The community has only three or four floors, so this kind of business is not easy to do. At least above the 10th floor, many people are unwilling to go downstairs even if there is an elevator.

3. Residential area without elevator

If some residential areas are large, with five or six floors and no elevators, this kind of business will be good.

4. Old residential areas

There are also some communities with a large number of elderly people. For those who have physical disabilities, their children will arrange for pick-up and drop-off.

5. Target group

The main customers are single young people, full-time mothers with children, and some middle-aged and elderly people. Villa owners with conditions are also welcome. In fact, this kind of business is a business for lazy people, people with limited mobility, and people who focus on effective time.

3. This is a business that depends on weather and festivals

For some people, they are definitely reluctant to spend 50 cents or a dollar to ask someone to help pick it up.

But in fact, a large part of takeout and group buying is just a lazy business, so no matter the size of the community, there must be owners who have such needs.

First, if a business like this wants to have stable customers, it must issue membership cards.

We can reduce customers' price sensitivity by offering monthly or quarterly packages, such as 15 or 19 yuan a month for unlimited times, or 15 yuan for 30 or 40 times.

Secondly, this kind of business is also largely influenced by weather and festivals.

The colder, hotter, rainier, etc. the weather, the better the business will be.

During various big promotional events such as 618 and Double 11, there are a large number of express parcels and a lot of business.

However, the biggest limitation of such a business is the number of residents in the community.

I am not afraid of a large number of deliveries, I am just afraid of not having enough people.

Therefore, a runner in a community can make money, not only by picking up express deliveries, but also by helping to buy groceries, pick up breakfast, etc.

As long as there is one more person, it will be difficult to maintain business, after all, the unit price is low.

4. Community Group Purchase

So if you want to make money in this kind of business, another idea is to do group buying in the community.

Firstly, the users you use for running errands and group buying are originally the same group of people. Creating a group and adding a WeChat account is equivalent to achieving two purposes.

Secondly, many community group purchases require users to pick up the items themselves, but you can deliver the items directly to their door like a runner, and sometimes you can earn two incomes from running errands at once.

In addition, compared to running errands, the profit per transaction of community group buying is relatively high, and the consumption frequency is also high.

As long as the product quality is good, the follow-up will be stable customers, and it is possible that the owners will develop errand running services.

So my personal suggestion is that if you want to try running errands in a residential area, in addition to meeting the previous conditions in terms of site selection, you can try the direction of community group purchasing, even if it is not daily group purchasing of vegetables.

For example, group buying of roast duck in the same city, bamboo shoots and fruits from nearby farms, etc., still has business.

5. It’s hard to copy

But I think it would be difficult to copy this business.

Although there are even brand companies that run errands in some places now, and perform delivery through recruiting so-called partners in each community, it is difficult to expand.

There is definitely no problem in providing enough food for one person, because as long as there are people in the community, the errand running business will always be there, because the groups of lazy people, the elderly, singles, and mothers will always be there.

So why is it so difficult to copy?

First, if you want to run errands in a residential area, if the community is a gated one, it will be difficult for you to attract customers, and delivery and pickup will be very troublesome.

Secondly, if the current economic environment is average, if they really want to make money, the mom-and-pop shops and post stations in the community will do it themselves. Maybe you need to earn 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a month to survive, but for them, earning an extra 2,000 or 3,000 yuan is enough, since they are idle anyway.

Thirdly, there is no threshold for this kind of physical work. In the early stage, as long as you do a good job of publicity to the community users, after others are familiar with it and get started, they can rent a community themselves and do it. Therefore, even if you recruit people to develop the community, the attrition rate is very high.

So, running errands in the community can make a little money in certain specific circumstances, but it is very tiring and you may be busy from morning till late at night.

But if you're thinking about copying, forget it.
