What Would You Say?

Restaurants, especially Deli's....need to "Sell Their Food". One way they do this is to offer "Daily Specials". These are Special Plates they make up each day...to entice Diners.

Some of these restaurants and deli's already know about ways to "Market" their Daily Specials.

One way that has been VERY Successful is to....Collect Emails and send a "Daily Special Email" to them....where the recipients can either Order OnLine or Go directly to the restaurant or deli in person.

You could provide this "Daily Special Service" to restaurants and delis in your area.

And....what I've found is....same as Medical & Dental Offices....even though an employee is already providing this service....it's a HASSLE for the business and the employee, who was hired to do something else.

I know of one guy who has had 42 Restaurant and Deli's paying him $250 every 2 wks ($250 withdrawn from their bank accounts every 2 wks)...since 1996...when I helped him get this started. 13 yrs of collecting $125/wk from 42 clients (you do the math)

So....this, and the Appt Reminder thingee takes some "Effort" and they are not, IM thingees BUT.....they have been PROVEN to work.

Let me know if you'd like more info on these.

Given the current economy, your plight is topical and newsworthy.

If you don't mind the spotlight ON your 'problem,' here's what you could do...

1) start a blogger (free) blog using your new domain name ($10)...
www.How[name of your town]HelpedMe.com

2) Make your blog be a DAILY diary of your jouney OUT of your dire situation -- starting with ALL the background of how you got INTO the mess -- especially as it pertains to things "out of your control -- ie: the economy."

3) Send out press releases + do interviews. Buy a pay-as-you-go cell phone
($30, incl. 300 minutes at Wal-Mart) -- that way you can respond to the press calling at ANY TIME.

4) Use your blog to document the LOCAL people + biz's that help you out.

The people + biz's who help you out instantly become famous for doing so, via your blog.

You could even give them a 'certificate' they could display -- "I/We Helped [your name], etc."

Maybe the whole thing has enough "legs" to go national!! After the blog gets going + some people/biz's DO help you, send out NAT'L press releases + call Oprah, etc.

Cheers + happy new year!

For Don Alm, or anyone that can assist.

Greetings,

My name is Kelly Jones and I am an American living in Taiwan. I have lived here for 8 years teaching English and have tried establishing another business to eventually quit teaching.

I have good ideas but lack funds to get anything big started. Then I remembered that when I was in college I worked for an outfit from Canada that sold Pizza Hut and Oil Change Cards. I made good money doing that on breaks and when I had free time.

I would be very interested in trying to establish such a thing here in Taiwan. Lots of young people looking to make some money and I could be the marketing company that got the contracts for products and did all the printing. Giving young people the pamphlets with value cards to sell and they pay me at the end of the day.

I would like it very much and would be gratefull if you could provide me with sample PDF's of the cards you have done and also any contracts that you may have to sign with the retailers.

Also your mentorship in assisting me getting it going would be a tremendous value.

Sincerely,
Kelly Jones
