Small Biz ideas 3, 4, and 5
Wealth idea #3 (windows to profits)
- Here is an idea for those of you who do not personally want to do the work, yet do not mind supervising others. You can have this business up in about 1 month and the benefits are:
- No office needed, you can work from home.
- No previous experience required (easy to learn)
- Work full or part-time
- This is needed in EVERY city.
- Very low start-up capital needed. (150-400.00
You can pretty easily earn 4-5000 per month with this business if you are willing to work (supervise people.) What you do is this; Place an ad for businesses needing window washing, If you want to build your business really fast go out and meet business owners, talk to them about their dirty windows and leave them your business card. (pass 1000 to have all the business you can handle in 3 months!) Anyway if you don't mind building more slowly, place an ad and when people call, say that you are swamped and that you will call them back when you have someone available. In the meantime, place an employee wanted ad like this:
(Good paying job, no exper. nec. strong, dependable and puncual is a must! call____________ for an interview.
Interview at a public place Mcdonalds is fine. DO NOT LET TOTAL STRANGERS NEAR YOUR HOME! Have them bring proof of ID, citizenship and references. As you all know, I believe in the background check. -however that is totally up to you if you choose to to use it. Once they are hired supply them with basic window cleaning supplies, almost everything you need can be found at the dollar store except for the ladder. (you can have them use a long handled window squeegee instead.) This business will never go out of style because so many people hate doing windows. A very easy way to get all the business you could ever want is to partner with maid services and cross promote. They hate being asked to do windows and would welcome the chance to refer someone else to do them. You on the other hand will constantly be asked for people who will do all the other work and you can recommend the maid services, that you choose to work with. You can charge by the window or by the hour 20-25 .00 per hour or 3-7 .00 per window depending on the size. Or you can have the windows counted and give a flat rate. If your workers do a good job business will EXPLODE because word of mouth will get you more work than you have people to handle. Usually I do not recommend having a DBA with workers but this business will allow you to cover you butt like this; Get a DBA at your county courthouse, use it to open a business acct. Insert the checks and cash from your customers and pay your employees with a business check. C.O.A. > *Cover your ass * -have your employees sign an agreement stating that they will be liable for any damage that they cause to a premise.and that THEY will pay for it. (subtract it from their pay) Give them a copy and keep one on file. Use these tips to look/be more professional.
- have them wear matching clothes (like black pants and shirts with co. name and phone# (Google personalized clothing)
- use a set-aside phone or answering service to take calls (you can get a answering service for less than 20.00 per month (Google answering serv.)
- Use magnetic signs on your car or make your employees use them when on the job.
- Use printed envelopes and invoices ( I use a company I found by just yahooing (cheap printing) I pay about 50 bucks for 1000 very nice envelopes! http://www.personalizedenvelopes.com/
Now it is up to you. You can go on and complain that you hate your job and they do not pay you enough for this bullsh*t. I have news for you THEY NEVER WILL PAY YOU ENOUGH! PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID TO STEP OUT INTO RISK MUST ALWAYS SETTLE FOR THE CRUMBS! That is the way it has always been. Ask yourself how much are you going to pay your workers? The answer is "as little as possible" that is just the way it is. You are going to say to yourself "this is America they could have started something of their own, they didn't have the guts, so they must work for me and settle for what I pay and that's the way it is. I can ALWAYS find more workers who will work for peanuts! and you would be right. People are so afraid of doing their own thing, they will settle for peanuts too many times to count. It's not nice but it is LIFE. If you want the best in life, you must give it to yourself:
This business will probably not make you a millionaire, but it could fairly easily make you 100.000 per year. It definitely works, and the fact that is is a hated job is the beauty of it. It is a service that will never go out of style and it will feed and clothe your family in financial security, warmth and comfort for as long as you choose to work it.
Wealth Idea#4 (driveway mad money)
This is one that should appeal to all you lazy people out there. Because you can earn mad money doing almost nothing.
If your home is located near a busy downtown or college campus, you can earn some mad money this way. In this part of New Jersey parking is terrible. I know of a person who not only rents out her double driveway for 100.00 per month each space =200.00 per month but she has rented 6 spaces near her home from her neighbors (unused spots) for 40-50.00 each and re-rents them for 100.00 each. She gives her renters a little pass signed by her with the date of expiration and they leave it in their front window so the neighbor knows it is one of "her cars" and not to have it towed. she makes 500.00 per month doing absolutely nothing! (except a small sign on her grass saying parking places for rent with phone #.) If your town won't permit the sign, you can use college bulletin boards, Ads or word of mouth. This is just for mad money this will not pay your bills but it sure helps if you just need a little spending money, especially since you are doing absolutely nothing!
Wealth idea #5 (Ad- riches)
This idea is so good, I am almost tempted to keep it to myself, although it is by no means a no-work idea. You will definitely work, yet the money is fantastic! This is how it goes, You record a business name at the county courthouse (DBA) Something catchy like_________________{insert your town name}
(Advertise door to door to for 1/4 the cost of postage! call _______________
When people call tell them that your company will take their advertising door to door and guarantee no lost units for only 10. each -one little dime. When they ask how you can afford to do it at that price-let them know that you will do it in units of 3000-5000 =300.00 or 500.00 explain that you will be delivering it with other non-competing businesses and that all manchandise will be in door bags and taken straight to the customer's door. This is a price they cannot beat anywhere! The cost of a single postage stamp is over 40. !!! Once you set up this business and your customer has a chance to see how beneficial this service is to him, you will have more calls than you can handle! This is how you handle it. Pick up your customers flyers, ads, or circulars etc. and put all in a door hanger bag (google door hanger bags people, this ain't rocket science) You drive and get 2 dependable young people (have 2 stand byes, young people are not known for their dependability) anyway have the 2 young people get out at every street and deliver to both sides at once. You can even pay them to stuff the door bags or use your kids and make them earn the money they are always begging for. You should be able to go through up to 5000 bags in no more than 5 days. Send your client an invoice (any office store will have them, sometimes even the dollar store has them) pay your people decent because they will only be getting about 1 week of work or if you are really ambitious , go to the next ajoining area and repeat the process. You should be able to have 20 clients in 2-3 months, if you work at it. And that is really ALL YOU NEED! 20 clients will enable you to make 7000-10.000 per month! (depending on whether they are 3000-5000 unit clients) Once you have your client list, and your client realizes the value of your service, (and you have people fighting over your business) you can and should insist on only 5000 unit clients because it is pretty much the same amount of work and it is easier it is all the same in number. offer the 3000 unit -only as a starter unit. This business is being done in my area right now by some snot nosed kid who is making a fortune! and he does not do any deliveries himself -he only drives- You can do this too. The main ingredient in working for yourself is BELEIF. You must beleive you can do it You must give yourself time for it to work! Anything that someone else is doing you can do as well! (If you are willing to put in the work) That is the saddest part about the job market. People start to see themselves as employees and then it is so damn hard to change that mindset. You must learn to see yourself as a wealth opportunist. Someone who takes advantage of the wealth opportunities that are all around us! Did you know that the average person has many million dollar, ideas every day! yet because he has been conditioned to just keep on working, most people will ignore these ideas and slave away until they are fired. Then they will experience extreme fear, and hurry and try to find another slave position. All the while, terrified of being fired again and wishing they had the guts to start something of their own. Folks, this is what conditioning doe's to you. That's why I cannot understand what the debate is when it comes to heridity -v- environment. There is no question that people are a product of their environment! You can take identical twins and raise them in separate homes, in which one has self-employed, confident, and successful and parents and the other has struggling , fearful, employee parents. You can literally watch how the employee child knows no other way except to "get a good job" when the job turns into a nightmare of low pay, downsizing, no time for family, or vacation, he will still fight himself over the need to "get another good job" No matter how much he hates it. No matter how much he wants to be free, he has been conditioned to seek security, and his conditioning is controlling him. The sad part is SECURITY IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION -IT DOE'S NOT EXIST! His brother on the other hand will know "although there is no security, nobody needs it because the only thing you need is opportunity and there is no shortage of opportunity only a shortage of courage". And since his parents have instilled that courage in him> the world is his oyster! He will live far, far better than his brother in houses his brother dare not dream about (because they don't make them for employees but for EMPLOYERS AND ENTREPRENEURS ) He will most likely visit places his brother can only read about and send his kids to schools his brother's kids have never heard about. People it is truly a whole different world if you would only TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!!! You only have to believe and then do it! (if thou canst only believe, all things are possible to him that believe ) -the bible
