- He's there NOW... The service is "instant". No need to wait a few days, a week, etc.

- There's a time limit! If they don't decide to do it now, they miss out... This tends to make things more desirable, people hate the idea of losing out...

- It's "don't need to think about it" money. Most people don't feel they need to think too hard about spending $20, especially if it helps their business. That makes it an easier sale...

Thanks for sharing another one of your gems... (You really are full of fantastic real-working business ideas...)

Hi Glenn and everyone,

When you think about it, this is a kind of formula you could probably apply to create all kinds of "quick & easy money" type of ideas...

For example, the painting numbers on curbs type of business (e.g. Address America), which we've discussed in the past, also follows this approach...

- Solves a problem which is there NOW - hard to see house numbers, means people can't find your house in an emergency (e.g. an ambulance), it could mean the difference between saving the lives of you and your loved ones - or not.

- You can solve the problem NOW (or close enough to now)

- There's a time limit - you're only in the area for a limited time...

- Don't "need to think about it" money - it's not too expensive, so it can be an immediate decision they don't need to think about too much...

Could be good to know this "formula" when you need some fast "bread & butter" money...!

Best wishes,
