I sat down with Justin Hall, who turned an old church in a strip mall into an event venue generating around $16,000 a month while still working a full-time job. We talked about how he and his wife got started, how spending less than $100 on Facebook ads brought in $10,000 in bookings, and how he uses a clever referral system to turn party guests into future customers. Justin also broke down his pricing, expenses, and how renting his space to three churches covers his monthly rent. We also discussed how someone could test this business without signing a long-term lease and the biggest mistakes to avoid when getting started.
