"Does This Sound Familiar? - Get Rich, Part Time, Home Based, Extra Cash - Yadda Yadda Yadda"

Hi,

Thanks for stopping by.

I got SO peeved by all the FAKE, theory and hype -- that hits my mailbox (Snail mail and E-mail) -- I decided to write this article. So you'd get something REAL & Tested and Proven.

Instead of all the Make Believe garbage.

As You guessed.

Maria has some advantages.

#1 - Her mother is divorced. (I changed all names.) And thinks it important that her daughter earn her own money. So Maria started making Extra money from Home at age 8. (An advantage - cuz at a young age Maria thought that EVERYbody has to earn their allowance.)

#2 - (AHA! You say) Maria's Aunt works with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hanson - The "Chicken Soup for The Soul" guys.

So Maria gets to test all kinds of ideas. Profit making strategies gathered by the Soup Mastermind Team.

A big help - we admit.

You'll see only those Tested and Proven ideas that worked best for Maria - below...

Extra Stream of income #1 - Maria got her Mom, Aunt and Grand parents fitted out with aluminum can recycling bags. So all the cans and glass they use - Maria collects every week.

Maria's Mom took her to see the owner of a local Restuarant. With a liquor license. This lady hadn't had ANYone else ask. So she agreed to have her employees toss all the glass bottles and cans in 2 separate cans - out back.

PLUS - Sometimes Maria's Mom takes her to neighbors houses. Where she collects cans and bottles too. (IF you ask - people will collect cans for you.)

Then off to the recycling plant. Better known as "The Dump."

Wouldn't YOU like to have an Extra few $100 a month? Maria says her "take" varies. $150, $200, $250+ each mo (Your only cost is gas. And plastic bags to hold the cans and the bottles.)

Extra Stream of Income #2 - Maria ALSO collects old clothing from her neighbors. With her Mom watching - she marches up to doors. Knocks. Asks, "Do you have any old clothes and Blue Jeans you want to get rid of? I wash them. Give most to Good Will. But sell some to local Thrift Stores. To make money to pay for college."

"Good Will" gets most of what Maria collects. But Thrift Shops pay a lot of money for wearable clothes. AND Maria has discovered a small gold mine.

Turns out she can sell the Blue Jeans for a LOT of money. Because California blue jeans fetch $500 or more Per PAIR in Japan.

Used Clothing sales is almost as profitable as recycling cans and bottles. So - Add another $200 a month or so. Are you tracking this? (400 - 500 smackers a mo)

Extra Stream of Income #3 - Maria is the boss of yard sales. One or two times a month. Her Mom drives her around to put up flyers on phone poles. She makes big Signs for drivers coming each way.

All the stuff her Mom, Grandparents and Aunt don't want - gets auctioned. But 90% of her auction items come from her trips up and down neighboring streets.

People's houses are Jam-Packed with stuff they can't use. Don't want. They are happy to have you cart it away.

Let's say Maria only makes $100 a mo this way. (Sometimes less. Often more.)

(EDITOR'S NOTE) Maria has hit on something really BIG. I have personally made tens of thousands with a variation of this. I have friends and clients who own pick-up trucks. You can make $8K in a weekend cleaning junk out of houses. (You have to prepare and really roll. But you can do it.) Re-selling it. Amazing what people call "junk."

Extra Stream of Income #4 - Maria belongs to the 4-H Club. Raises market lambs - for auction. Rabbits. Prize chickens. Grows veggies too.

How did Maria choose what animals to raise? Vegetable to grow? She and her Mom - went to the County Fairgrounds. Watched with a mercenary eye. Made a list of what contests PAY the most money.

Then chose to raise the highest paying animals. AND grow certain kinds of flowers and vegetables. ONLY the ones that pay the most in prizes.

Maria's Aunt tells me - after 2 or 3 years of entering these Contests... Maria has had MORE practice at flower arranging. (For example) Than other little girls. Who enter once in their age group. Then quit.

Maria is winning prizes worth $200 for 1st Prize. $150 for 2nd. $100 for 3rd. And Maria enters only the TOP paying contests.

AND she enters a LOT of contests.

OK. Where are we?

Somewhere back there Maria passed $7000 a year. Working at home after school.

Maria is going to be a self-motivated-entrepreneurial terror when she grows up. We need more entrepreneurs like her in the USA.

===========================

ACTION PLAN

Let's pick an idea ANYbody can do.

Finding and Re-selling "Junk."

When I started testing this I didn't have a truck. What I did was call up home owners - I found them by calling up people who had ads with stuff for sale. Figuring (rightly) that they probably have lots more they want to get rid of.

I'd go to their house to do a "Survey" and list. I told home owners "So I'll know how many of my friends trucks I'll need."

#1 - I'd Already made a list of junk yards. Copper, brass, glass, cans, Thrift Shops, Electronic Repair Shops, Antique Stores.

#2 - So I hauled away the little - And VALUABLE - stuff and sold it - right away.

#3 - Then I made a big list of all the furniture and housewares I didn't want. Called "Good Will" - they sent 2 guys and a truck to come get it! (No cost to me.)

#4 - I started by sharing profits with a pick-up-owning friend. But started making SO much profit. I fired him. Put an ad in the local paper.

"$25 an hour weekends only - Pick-Up-Truck Needed - Call Glenn #" EGAD. I got 100's of calls.

Lots cheaper to PAY somebody than to share 50/50.

Finally - A WARNING - Don't let your Pick Up Truck driver SEE all the money you are making. 2 or 3 of them started up in competition with me! (Didn't matter. More houses than ANY of us can get to in our lifetimes.)

Have fun. Email me if you have questions.
