decided to try my hand at tiktok after seeing tommy mello kill it, filmed a quick clip of a busted liftmaster opener that wouldnt sync with the app. two days later my dms are exploding with folks wanting full installs, already booked three $1500 jobs from it. who knew garage door drama could turn into easy money?
