Greeting Cards
Submitted by Connie H.

My business idea is to send greeting cards for people. Clients could be busy business men who do not remember anniversaries and birthdays. They will never be yelled at again for forgetting. Also, sending cards to their clients on holidays shows the business cares. You could have a nice selection of cards on hand. Your price would include keeping their list, dates, and postage.

Many senior citizens no longer send cards because of their eyesight or handwriting. They would be glad to pay to have someone do this for them. You must be organized enough to know how long it takes the mail to reach destinations and make sure it is the right type of card. Each client would have to provide a list of friends and relatives along with correct addresses and dates to remember. Prices could go by the type of cards or the number of cards sent in a years time. Greeting cards can be bought in bulk to keep your costs down.

Romance Rendezvous
Submitted by C.M. Lewis

The Romance Concierge would rent a hotel room in a nice hotel, upon request. He or she would then ’set the mood’ for the type of event that the client requests. (i.e., Anniversary, Honeymoon, Birthday, Valentine’s Day, etc.) The client would be billed for total expenses incurred, plus an additional fee for the concierge’s services.

The client could also give some personal items to the Concierce in advance, to be ‘placed’ in the room prior to the ‘guest’s’ arrival. Also, the client could pay for additional items to be placed in the room, upon request. Such items could include chilled champagne, roses, soft music, rose petals strewn on the floor and bed, chocolates, balloons, and appetizers. The list is endless. Upon setting the room up, the concierge would then depart the room before the client and their guest arrives for the evening.

The client and their ‘guest’ would then go to the hotel room to spend the evening or the entire night to celebrate the important event.

Just imagine the look of astonishment and delight on the ‘honored’ guest’s face when he or she enters the hotel room amid chocolates, appetizers, soft candlelight, jazz music, chilled champange, balloons and rose petals floating around in the jacuzzi filled with scented water.

Nostalgic Ads
Submitted by Rob G.

Here is a very unique and easy business you start start for practically nothing. You can get old magazines off Ebay that contain a lot of nostalgic advertisements… stuff like old coke ads, automobile ads, even department store that have gone out of business. What you do is remove each individual ad, mount and sell it as framed artwork. Some old magazines like Colliers, New Yorkers, House Beautiful, etc, contain 10 - 20 full color ads in each issue.

For the last couple of years now I have been creating what I call Software Cards.These are just cards I create and print from my computer and cut out.(Two cards per sheet of card stock.)In side the card I put a 31/2 disk with a small software program or some interesting utility I find that’s free online and download it to the disk. I give them as Christmas cards or Birthday cards,etc; Everyone seems to really enjoy the idea of getting a card with a gift. I sell the Software Cards for $6.50 . Simple proccess-Someone buys a card for sombody’s birthday and they get the gift at the same time included. Hence the name Software Cards.I only download the totaly FREE software.NO shareware stuff. I use mostly programs that everyone would use such as 1-system Lock [ locks your desktop so nobody can use your computer while your away ] 2- Candy Clock [ A colorful & highly configurable desktop clock program ,the clock face can have any picture you have on your computer.Great program ] 3- VCatch [ a virus checking program that will check all files sent or downloaded to your computer. ]

There are 1000’s of these small wonderful programs that can be used in the Software Cards.Most of them can be used by anyone with a computer.

Get Paid for Giving Directions
Submitted by Deborah R.

Most cities have informational services but who do you call when you get lost and can’t find your way?

If you have a computer you can use Map Quest to chart where the customer is now and where he wants to go. You may use the map on the screen to tell the customer where to go and how to get there.

You may charge a modest fee per call by credit card. You may list yourself with the visitor bureau as well as yellow pages and have local restraurants to pay a fee to you for advertisement. When people visit they need someone to recommend a good place to eat:)

Look up current newsletter publishers and inquired about offering your services to change them over to an e-newsletter format. Of course, the subscribers would have to submit their e-mail addresses and they all would also have to be online…. but maybe there would be a few publishers that would welcome an online format and in turn offer a cheaper price to their subscribers…. So the consultant who is changing over to the online format would not have to produce the content, just put it online and send it out for a monthly fee. Or if a publisher doesn’t want to change the newsletter over to online, they could send out, between publish dates, the updates to the newsletter via a short e-newsletter…

Sue also included an additional idea that, coincidentally, I have been working on myself:

Handicapped Parking Cop
Submitted by Jo Graeber

Being permitted to park in a handicapped parking space, I find it very irritable when others without permits are parked there. In my city, we have a posted fine of $100. (Where I used to live, it was $500!) But, it seems, there are not enough law enforcement officers to spend their days writing tickets for such things. So, it is totally ignored and unenforced!

So, here’s my idea:

Nowadays, many people have digital cameras. Why not take a picture of the offending car - a shot of the car parked in the illegal space, a shot of the license plate, a shot of the front of the car showing NO permit hanging from the mirror or on the dashboard. Minimum 3 shots. (If you have a zoom, you could even get a shot of the driver getting into or out of the car.) You should not have to get out of your car if you’re in a good place. If you do have to get out of your car, take the pictures and leave immediately to avoid any confrontation from any people around who are wondering what you’re up to.

You have NO confrontation with the driver. The pictures are the proof. With most (if not all) digitals you can see immediately if you have a clear picture or if you need to take another. No flash should be needed that might gain attention. All is done like a “spy”! (Didn’t you always want to be a spy?)

Now, the illegal parker gets a fine of $100 (or whatever your fine is). Perhaps your city will pay half to you and they keep half. You both profit! And, the illegal handicapped parkers will become less (or hopefully not!). It won’t cost the city a dime, as you get paid when the ticket is paid. You pay would depend entirely on how many illegal parkers you can find.

First person to turn in the picture gets the reward. (If destination was the same.)

The post office is a great place! Shopping centers, malls, courthouse … the list is almost endless! Find a good place to park and sit and watch. They’ll just come to you.

Perhaps this can be extended to parking in fire lanes, parking within 10 feet of fire hydrants, double parking … anything in your city that is illegal and requires a fine.

Anyone should be able to do this - older folks, teens, anyone with a digital camera. Perhaps a Polaroid or regular camera would work as well, but it would be more costly.

My digital uses a regular floppy disk which is terrific for just handing over the pictures. You could upload your pictures to your computer and put them onto a floppy or perhaps email them directly to the appropriate office of your city.

The handicapped can “get even” with those who abuse their spaces! and make money, to boot!

And many more…

Chances are, since you’ve read this far, you’re itching to get out of the rat race and into a profitable home business.  But let me ask you this question.  If you don’t download my “Undergound Plans, Projects & Ideas” ebook, then what?  Why pay outrageous start up fees for a network marketing distributorship or a business opportunity?  I’m sure you can imagine you’d be out of luck if that didn’t work out. If that happened, imagine the troubles both you and your family would face.
