Still Openings For Chimney Sweep

Conduct Water Wars For Fun & Profit

You remember all the fun in school when your group engaged in water balloon fights?  Well, it was almost assured someone would find a way to profit in this activity.

WATERWARS is a home biz opportunity – great for fund-raisers at colleges and schools; unique for big events for beachside enterprises.

Collect And Sell Precious Metals

This environmentally friendly business is shaped by the cost of metals after they are found and smelted.  The metals in circuit boards in any electronic device has value and the remaining plastic and non-precious metals after sorting and smelting could have value.

You have to study the profitability of this type of enterprise where you reside.  A good place to learn more is at C. J. ENVIRONMENTAL, one of the largest buyers of these metals

Be A Scavenger Hunt Promoter

One of the cleverest ways to get a lot of people to visit a commercial district or art gallery area on a Thursday night is to organize a scavenger hunt with prizes and clues that take contestants to all the spots of the hunt – from restaurants to bars to stores.

I have seen big prize scavengers where people paid $20 to play.  I have seen scavengers sponsored by a big firm for a charity.  People love to play Indiana Jones and discover the lost treasures.

Goodbye To The Paper Boy?

The last few days my morning newspaper has had a fifty-fifty chance of NOT arriving.  As person who doesn't like to accidentally pour my high fiber cereal onto my computer desk, I had to uncover the problem.  I discovered my "paper man" for many years had quit and the newspaper was having difficulty finding anyone to do the route.


Yesterday I ran into the ex-paper man at the supermarket.  He told me he was retired on a poor pension and did the route to pay his bills, but the increase of gasoline tp almost $4.00 per gallon and the declining number of newspaper subscriptions made the job unprofitable in cost and time.  


 I discovered I was the last person on my block of "educated middle class people" who still got newspaper delivery.  Even though I live in a large city, my former paper deliverer said, he often had to drive down two to four  blocks to reach the next customer.


If you're middle-aged, you probably remember when the newspapers were delivered by paperboys on bicycles and having a paper route was the first enterprise you had in the world of work.  


I don't know how many newspaper boys there still are in this land, but I don't think many of them would  ride a bike half a mile to deliver one newspaper.
