Default Re: It's a great example of "outside-of-the-box" thinking!

Yes Dien
I thought about a similar idea years ago
but did not get around to doing it. The idea was
to have leaflets for affiliate products, have
drivers hang them in their cars and share the
profits from people who buy the products
and their are many, many variations.
this was from the comments in the article

"Very clever way to promote your business WHILE
making money. Makes me wonder what other ways
entrepreneurs can make unconventional use of a
captive audience. For example, if one was starting
a startup that helps travelers, they could deck out
apartments in their promo material and then
constantly rent them out on airbnb. That way
they could promote their startup to their target
audience, WHILE turning a profit on the renting "


And here is my idea.
It could be done with a hotel. Imagine a
high ticket affiliate offer for a luxury vacation.
The offer pays $1,000 if you get people to
sign up. Then you go to a hotel manager and
make a deal, he has the maids distribute
the flyers in the rooms and he gets $500
per signup and you get the other $500.
hotel managers make good money, but I
think many would go for this.

I've seen other articles about how little Uber drivers make. Many articles say they make a pittance!

Great example of "outside-of-the-box" thinking... I bet a lot of people might have thought of it, then said to themselves... "Nah... you can't do that...!"

But, it turns out you can...

Best wishes,

Dien
