What is the Best Way to Make Money on the Net ?

There are many business and professional people who WANT (find a "Want" and Fill It!)....to let "New Residents" know about their business.

Why? Because "New Residents"....

....WANT to Make Contact with Many...Business & Professional people in their New Neighborhood. New Dentist....New Doctor....New Plumber.... Electrician...Pest Control Service....Pharmacy....Accountant....Attorney...et c

So...why not provide a "Service" helping these New Residents find what they WANT?

Here's what you can do;

1) Find a "New Resident" Service to provide you with the NAMES & Addresses of the New Residents in your area....on a Monthly Basis.

2) Set up a Website with a Domain Name that "Says What You Do"....
"Tacoma Newcomers"...."Charleston Newcomers"...."Poughkeepsie New Residents"...etc

3) On this website (it can be a simple One Pager)....list the Categories in alphabetical order....with ONE sponsor in each Category (Include a Link to their website if they have one...or YOU could provide a site for them (for a Fee) There is also a Link to a Sales Page for Sponsors.

4) Send a Postcard with the following words on it....to 3 businesses or professionals in each Category;

"ARE YOU LOOKING FOR NEW BUSINESS"
"CAN YOU HANDLE 10 NEW CUSTOMERS A MONTH?"
"IF SO....GO TO MY WEBSITE..."TACOMA NEW RESIDENTS.COM" AND CLICK ON THE "SPONSOR" LINK!"

Thank You....Joe Blow"

For Doctors and Dentists;
"ARE YOU ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS""
"CAN YOU HANDLE 10 NEW PATIENTS A MONTH?"
"IF SO...GO TO MY WEBSITE ....TACOMA NEW RESIDENTS.COM AND CLICK ON THE SPONSOR LINK!"

Thank You....Joe Blow"


Now....you can simply offer to provide the Names & Addresses of New Residents every month for a fee of $95....or....offer to send a Postcard with their Info and maybe an Incentive Discount for $175/Mo.

Just 100 sponsors....brings in a cool $7,500 a month!

Well Worth....looking into.

Hello everyone,

Don - that's a great idea - as well as a useful service for others! Great job! :-)

keblack - I also agree with Saleem and Joe - Joe outlined the steps you need to consider, while Saleem mentioned the one element that would make your online journey easier; just like in the offline world, if you enjoy what you're doing, it will seem less like work. Even if something is more profitable, if you don't enjoy doing it, chances are, you'll lose interest in doing the daily activities needed to achieve success in that business, which will likely lead to you failing in it, so I would also suggest finding something you're passionate about, and preferably, know something about it, though you could do some research offline and online to further increase your knowledge of that field (and if you are interested in learning more about it, conducting the research won't feel like work. :-)

Hopefully, this is helpful! I wish you luck toward your online success!

Take care and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Joe Chengery III

I like this idea and have been checking around on how to find new residents.

My question is, if a business pays around $95 a month, how many names and addresses are they getting, per month, for that price in their area? Any info or experiences shared here will be greatly appriciated!

I can also see why businesses might payfor this because it seems to be a little difficult getting good list like this.

Regards,

The "number" in my post above should be "$75/Mo"! I made a typo. When I did a "test" fax to 300 local businesses, professionals and doctors and dentists I found that "$75/mo FOR 100 new Resident Name & Addys" was the "Magic Number".

Some months the number (in the zips I was working in) went to 128 or even 136 one month....but....I maintained the "agreed upon price of $75".

And....my "backend" was...."I" would dothe PostCard Mailing FOR THEM.... for...$175 a month....which most of them opted for.

I made up Samples of the Cards I was offering them.....AND....I included a "Frig Magnet"....in the package sent to the New Residents. They especially LIKED the "Frig Magnets".....which they felt would STAY on the New Resident's Frig for a long time.....getting them MANY MONTHS of "exposure".

I used the "Magnet Sheets" that can be run thru an inkjet printer. I bought the Magnetic Sheets wholesale and cut them to the size I wanted.

Makes for a NICE...easy....Home-Based.....money-maker.

Go to Staples and get some of their "Magnetic Sheets" and experiment with them. They can NOT be run thru a Laser because the Laser gets toohot. I ran mine thru a cheapie HP Inkjet. Worked fine.

Put the "package" in a nice envelope with GOOD Graphics on the front and you will have a "winnah"!
