Holy Schamoly!
 

Because my post about "Ads on Pizza boxes" got me interested in these again, I decided to go visit a pizza biz and whala....I discovered he's moving 1,000 Pizza Bozes a WEEK!

In 13 weeks, that's 13,000 Boxes.

I asked the owner if he'd stick MY "Ad Sheets" on his boxes and....I'd put his coupon offers on the back....in FULL Color....at NO Charge.

He said; "Go For It!

So...I check with my internet printer and see that 10,000 sheets, full color, 2 sides will cost me....$380 ($240 for 5,000)

So....what would a business (professional or medico) pay to have their ad go INTO 10,000 Homes?

A few yrs ago, I found they'd pay 8cents/box....so....I think they'd pay $790 each today. ($395 deposit and $395 on proof)

$790 x 16 ads = $12,640 less $380.

And...I've just now (Fri afternoon) gotten "verbal OK's" from 3 biz owners and 1 dentist. People I know who'd LOVE to have their ad go into 10,000 LOCAL homes for 8cents ea! So....looks like this program is a Go.

So...this weekend it looks like I'll make up some Sample Sheets and go out a collect money next week. It's there, waiting to be picked up.

Man O Man....it still amazes me that there are people who sit around and moan and whine about the "economy" or "no jobs" or...whatever.

Just pick yerself up and go do something! Granted, I've been UNemployed my whole life so I don't know what it's like to "go hunting for a job"....I've trained myself to "create jobs"...and opportunities are ALL around....in ANY economy.

Re: College entrepreneur looking for something new. Plz read.
 

Hey prodigy, how's it going buddy. There are loads of opportunities for you out there.
I suggest you sit and write down some of your interests/things you are good at.
Then think about how each of these attributes or activities you enjoy could solve a problem for people. All great businesses are great because they solve a problem.
People buy because they have a problem and the cost of the product is worth the expense to solve their problem.

Also, you could join the best business or get hired at the best company but if you lack a mentor or coach who can guide you, success is difficult.

Look for a mentor or coach who will give you action steps you can implement and who will guide you on your way.

Networking is also a key to a job, business opp. etc.

Best of luck my friend.
Take care,
Matt

How would you get businesses to sign up?
 

Hi All,

I like the idea of a booth on campus. How about giving a $1.00 bill to each student that gives you their phone number? It would be easy enough to confirm you aren't getting duplicate numbers and you'd have a line a block long. And maybe offer 50-cents to each additional number they convince to sign up?

My question would be how to go about convincing businesses to sign up for the service. Would this be done in-person? What about a letter to each business - and who would you address this to?

Advice from Tony-Exclusive Painter to Multi-Millionaires
 

Dear Protegy,

Thanks.

Good question.

Tony is a long time Free ezine member & a painter for very rich retirees.

I just chatted with him about a 15k No Exercise Guaranteed 3 to 5 lb a week wgt loss machine. Many of these people are heavy.

Which is when...

Tony told me about the commercial paint store
that all the Pro Painters use to mix high quality paint colors. (One in every neighborhood)

Go in there with some paint chips to match - as an excuse.

Chat with some of the pro painters.

Get them bragging and complaining about their rich tightwad clients.

Find an affluent high-rise or neighborhood.

GO DOOR TO DOOR - with a booklet of Thank you notes and testimonials from people you've done work for...

OFFER to Do work AT COST in return for 10 referrals to neighbors and relatives and friends EQUAL to or better than they are as a prospect.

Make them understand you expect them to CALL these people on your behalf WHEN you make them HAPPY with your work.

You won't get far
on a Saturday... Before several people take you Up on your offer.

And VOILA!

Just like that you are knee deep in Higher Paying Affluent Customers.

IF YOU TREAT THEM LIKE GOLD, you will be so unusual, they will line up to PAY you.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
