They are roughly a salesperson sitting at a specific location and working twenty-fours per day.  Better yet, advances have made these an even better option for those of us interested in generating passive income. Vending Machines Are Smarter Than Ever The whole concept of the Internet of Things is made to order for this area.  Think about it.  You can ping your machines via the Internet for all sorts of information including current inventory levels, whether a feed is jammed, and even the cash on hand. ...
