Default 169 years of business opportunity in publishing.

1846. E. Walker of 114 Fulton St. NY ran an ad in Scientific American. They were looking for sales reps for their books...such best-sellers as; Knowledge is Power $2.50, Wonders of the World 2.50, The Statesman Manual 5.00.

They offered "a very liberal percentage", a commission based job.

Today, the modern version might be affiliate marketing, but still....as with most Biz-Op, you don't get paid for doing nothing AND "Commissions Don't Fall From Heaven"!

Selling something to somebody somewhere is the foundation of financial success. True today as it was in 1846.

I could spend hours here!

Apart from the fun of going through these, you could also find ideas you could "revive"... For example, many fortunes have been made from "revived" products as well as info-products too...
