The Challenge
- 1
Albuquerque body shops spend $2,500-6,000/month competing with insurance-preferred networks that dominate New Mexico referrals
- 2
Cost per customer in Albuquerque: $75-180, with low population density making local customer acquisition expensive in the Southwest
- 3
Insurance companies steer customers to chains—independent Albuquerque shops need reputation content to win direct business
The Solution
YouTube monetization delivers $4K-$13K/month passive income independent of Albuquerque's insurance referral patterns
Produce 120-250+ videos monthly (repair transformations, desert damage restoration, New Mexico sun damage, process transparency) building regional trust
YouTube positions your shop as the Southwest expert—customers specifically request you to insurance adjusters
