Digitized magazines... for fun and profit!
 

Wow... I just came across this... The Magazine Rack. A collection of digitized magazines...

I could spend hours here!

Apart from the fun of going through these, you could also find ideas you could "revive"... For example, many fortunes have been made from "revived" products as well as info-products too...

This is probably a good place to also mention the digitized magazine collection at Google books... Another incredible treasure-trove!

(Plus, lots of fun, too... :) )

Another place where you can find profitable and stimulating ideas...!

They say things go in cycles...

An example of finding an older book and turning it into cash.

This 1981 HUGE cookbook and stories...was the probable source for this:

http://www.jamesdirect.com/cookbooks...gton-cookbook/

We've discussed James Direct before, but here is how a small publisher can twist the old into the new. Their Apple Cider Vinegar books are best-sellers, and their ads have been run in such publications as PARADE and others. Great copy fr a targeted niche.

So, as you are perusing these great finds, be aware and alert to possible opportunities to make use of the "stored value" in these collections.

169 years of business opportunity in publishing.
 

1846. E. Walker of 114 Fulton St. NY ran an ad in Scientific American. They were looking for sales reps for their books...such best-sellers as; Knowledge is Power $2.50, Wonders of the World 2.50, The Statesman Manual 5.00.

They offered "a very liberal percentage", a commission based job.

Today, the modern version might be affiliate marketing, but still....as with most Biz-Op, you don't get paid for doing nothing AND "Commissions Don't Fall From Heaven"!

Selling something to somebody somewhere is the foundation of financial success. True today as it was in 1846.

Lots of gold in the old, just apply modern tech.

The $24,000 Zombie Survival Kit...
 

Thanks Trevor,

I didn't know about that resource... That's quite a treasure-trove as well!

Some very interesting niche magazines there... Which are a great resource if you want to target a specific niche!

While searching around, I found this oddball promotion...!

This $24,000 Zombie Survival Kit Has Kevlar Gear, Weapon Attachments, Research Lab, Kitchen Sink

Further poking around led me to this off-the-wall video...!

It turns out to be a very unusual ad by a serious company, which makes optics equipment... :)

Thanks Trevor for the great resource!

Best wishes,

That is a really weird site and it reminds me of Bob Lazars site.
Bob Lazar was the scientist who claimed to work at Area 51 and saw recovered UFOs there. He tangled with the authorities a few times and is a controversial guy. He created a store that is also controversial. It sells nuclear isotopes among other things. It might appeal to the scientist in you.
check it out.

Thanks Trevor,

That is an unusual site - I hadn't seen it before!

Believe it or not, I used to work with gamma rays (very powerful, and very damaging radiation)... The source was a radioactive isotope. I did it as part of a field of physics called Mossbauer Spectroscopy, where we'd measure the shifts in the energy levels of atomic nuclei. However, I got out of that field because I didn't like the idea of being exposed to radiation all the time! (Even with the "lead apron" we'd wear to protect ourselves!)

Best wishes, :)

Are you sure...
 

there wasn't any brain damage? I have my reasons for asking...HA!
