Default Here;s another.....an "INSTANT" money-maker

Some folks are always asking about an "INSTANT" way to start making "good money" FROM HOME!

Well...here's one that will STILL WORK! And ANYONE with a computer and some "get up and go" can go out tomorrow morning and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

A few years ago I started a "Fax" business. Sending a 1-page sheet of ads to local business offices. (I know, I know...the "junk fax" thing. I got permission to send my faxes to these offices, first)

Well...one day, as I was looking for ad clients, I happened into a Deli and the Deli owner told me they were ALREADY sending faxes of their daily specials to local businesses.

I asked him WHO was sending the faxes for them. He told me he had his "office girl" send them.

I asked him if he'd be interested in having ME send the faxes for him and relieve his "office girl" from having to do it.

He asked, "How much?" I asked him how many faxes was he sending out. He told me he was sending 150 each morning and that his "office girl" had to come in early to do this.

I looked around his shop...rubbed my chin...I then looked him straight in the eyeballs and told him, "$25 a day!"

He looked around a bit...rubbed his chin...before he could answer I added, "I will do EVERYTHING for you! Create the fax sheet every evening...and fax them out to YOUR LIST of people PLUS...I will add 50 or 60 NEW businesses to the list!"

With this he said, "OK! When can you start?"

I said, "Is right now too soon?"

So...I had a person whom I did not know from Adam a few minutes ago...just make a committment to me of $500 A MONTH!

I then went to another Deli a few blocks away and asked if he was sending out daily faxes. This guy said, "No! But the pizza place next door WAS!"

So I flew out the door to the pizza place and sho nuff...the guy was sending about 150 faxes out to local businesses for his "Daily Specials".

I offered the same deal to him. This guy was a little tougher...he rubbed his chin and said, "Well, that's $125 a week...about $500 a month! I'll pay you $20 a day...$100 a week!"

I said, "Deal!"...and shook his hand.

So...within a few minutes...I was able to contract with 2 business owners for $225 a WEEK for a service that would cost me NADA...ZILCH!

I already had a computer and 2 phone lines into my home. I had a fax modem and a fax program that could send out faxes on 2 lines. The only thing this would cost me was TIME. TIME to get the Daily Specials and TIME to make up the fax sheets and tell the machine when to send them. Maybe an hour a day.

Now...I did not expand this and add more equipment and more accounts...but I know someone who did...who is now getting $300 a month from each of 30 delis and pizza places...a total of $9,000 MONTHLY for having computers send faxes!

IT'S AN ALL PROFIT BUSINESS! NO PRINTING! NO POSTAGE! NO EXPENSES! Other than your phone lines and overhead.

THINK about it! There are Deli's and pizza places in YOUR town who are NOW sending faxes of their daily specials! They are in the FOOD biz! They don't want to be in the "Fax" biz! YOU can relieve them of this headache and make yourself some nice CASH MONEY!

If a Deli or pizza place is NOT sending faxes to local businesses...YOU can offer to set this up for them.

To get the fax numbers...just put a large fishbowl on the counter next to the cash register, with a sign that says; "Let Us Fax Our Daily Specials To Your Office! Drop Your Business Card In The Bowl!"

Wow! What potential! And all it takes is the guts to DO IT! It's waiting for YOU! Go Get It!

I would shoot for $100 a week. You can always come down. One PC will handle 2 phone lines. You can send about 250 faxes in about 6 hrs...so, starting at 7pm...you can send out about 250 x 4 = approx 1,000 faxes on 2 lines...FOUR clients for $400 a week!

You want MORE MONEY? Buy an old used 486 machine and 2 more fax modems (WinFaxPro will handle 2 fax modems in 1 machine) Bring in 2 more residence lines. You now have EIGHT accounts paying you $800 a week.

Add as many more lines and machines as you feel you want to handle.

My friend THIS is NOT some "pie-in-the-sky" plan! THIS is REAL! It's been done...and it's STILL being done!

Deli and pizza parlor owners have ONE thing on their mind...to SELL FOOD! If you can help them sell their food...they WILL pay you nicely for the service.

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
