Ok....today is Thursday, Mar 10, 2011. I started this project on Monday, Mar 7.

I made a "mock-up" of a "Take-Out" menu for a local restaurant. Sold 3 spots on it on Monday @ $260 ea (=$780) I charge $260 + $30 SetUp but, on my first few sales I offer to Drop the SetUp Fee PROVIDED....they give me their Order....NOW!

So...on Mon I got 3 biznesses to go for $260ea. I then proceeded to sell 6 more spaces at $290ea ($290 x 6 = $1740)...for Total of $$780 + $1740 = $2,520.

Not bad for a few days "work" and....my cost will be less than $100...so....I will Net $2,420.....just from an Idea....2 hours on my PC and a little gas money visiting prospects.

I have 3 other restaurants lined up who WANT....MY...."Take-Out" menus.

And....again....I could parachute into ANY town in America....get a restaurant to agree to accept my FREE, Take-Out Menus....and....contact the local biznesses the restaurant owner TELLS ME TO CONTACT....and walk out of the town with over $2,000 in my pocket.

Only in America!....thus far!

P.S. Here what my "Take-Out Menu" looks like ON THE ACTUAL LOCATION
Take a look!
Notice that it's FULL Color....plus....I add in something that makes it almost "irresistable" for Advertisers to refuse to participate.
