Thumbs up Re: Due Diligence on Address America - Here's the low down on them

I can vouch for Address America. Made a lot of money installing their Nightvision Address signs in Pa and NJ from 96 to 2004. Another Sowpub member (Lawrence) taught me how to boost my response by door knocking instead of using Address America Flyers. $1000+ days were common but I haven't worked that Biz-Op since moving to Australia in 2004 but from what David Ashley tells me the signs are still selling very well. David teaches a non sales marketing system of posting his magic flyers on doors. I remember that first spring day I put out my first 300 flyers back in 96 which was before David developed the address signs.

The flyer was an offer to paint reflective house numbers on the curb in front of the house. The flyer instructed anyone interested in having the service done to just write their house number on the back of the flyer and tape it up inside of a window so the flyer could be seen from the street. Boy was I excited the next day when I counted 31 homes with flyers in the windows. At $15 per job I made $465 minus about $5 per house for paint, reflective glass beads and Jumbo Size plastic house numbers that we would give to the home owner for their house or garage and the catalogue of health products we gave each customer to increase back end profits.

Later that year we started to hand make the first address signs which were OK but nothing like the ones David started to mass produce the following year
with super reflective number made by 3M on each side of the signs.

Address America is a great fly low, collect the dough biz-op. David has sold millions of them. Marketing them door to door was a great experience for me but it was just a Biz-op, not a real business. It was a way to make money but I was still self-employed... meaning I owned a job and didn't get paid for any days that I didn't work.

Today I prefer to be a business founder and have others do the work for me although I still do plenty myself most days while I continue to systemize the business so it can run without me.

Anyone who is considering doing Address America is welcomed to use the Door Knock presentation that Lawrence taught me by downloading the Magic Marketing.zip folder at: http://www.divshare.com/download/16090416-2f1

I bet the headlight cleaning Biz-Op is everything that Gordon and Boz Claim it is. In fact - you'll see that I have redirected one of the links on my old Magic Marketing Flyers to their sales page!

Cheers,
Steve

Default So many great ideas, not enough time in the day...

There may be other forums who offer up REAL DEALS as to small business and Biz-Op (just making money as Steve says)...but this is MY favorite.

The "problem" with this forum is...

it is reality based. Where are the guys claiming to make 50k a week from their IM efforts? From their SEO and Blogging? OH, they're somewhere else...good.

When it comes to getting off your Azz and actually doing something, I've found more Doers here than anywhere else.

If I had more time, a 36 hour day, I still wouldn't get to all these great ideas found here. I'd definitely do the fantasy posters SteveSki is doing, what a great idea.

I dabbled with Samir's balloon biz, a doable idea. I've INVESTIGATED various Biz-Ops in FL, OH, PA, NC and NM in the last year...my new JOB, becoming the traveling George Haylings (Dien Rice??) looking for and finding small, hidden, odd-ball, little-known, under-the-radar, fly-low-and-collect-dough type of operations...but Steve is 100% right...

These things MAKE YOU MONEY, but they don't sustain you, it requires continuous effort...which, if you've read my Chattel Report-Sprint to Freedom or BYBA...

You'll see I suggest you use the Biz-Op money to build a sustainable business model which doesn't eat your lunch, use up your time and preferably an absentee from site, remotely run business.

There are scores of doable, verifiable money-making opportunities, like our HEADLIGHT CLEANING business. These kinds of things can and do put a big wad of cash into your pocket quietly and quickly...

BUT it is what you do with the wad of cash which will determine how much work you have to do in the future.

I've got some ideas on that, which I'll be posting soon.

Chatteling.
Headlight Cleaning.
Address America.
Fantasy Posters.
Any of Dien's HIDDEN BUSINESS ideas...

Can put some cash into your pocket...what you want to think about is...what if, like Gordon and Harvey Brody...I found myself flat on my back for a a month or two and was UNABLE to work...what happens to my income and savings?

It is a good question and one which will be discussed here extensively in the near future, as long as my NEW found energy and march to restoration of health continues...as long as the snakes, spiders or mice (oh my) don't put a damper on my sprint to health, that is.
