Product publicity is the “secret pathway” to business success
everyone wants.  In simple terms, product publicity is a kind of
advertising that costs you nothing, yet brings in the orders for
you.

Regardless of what kind of business you are operating, you
should want, and strive for, as much publicity for your business
and your products or services, as possible.  After all, it’s
“free advertising” that is essential to the growth of your
business.  However, your publicity efforts should be well
thought out, and pre-planned for maximum results.

The first, and basic form of obtaining publicity is through what
is known as the press or news release.  This is generally a one
page story about your business, your product/service or an
event/happening related to your business that is about to, or
has recently occurred.  These publicity stories are generally
“shot-gunned” to all the various media:  local newspapers, radio
and TV, and trade publications.

Problem number one is getting the people to whom you’ve sent
these publicity stories, to use them - publish or broadcast
them.  And this leads us back to the “right way ” of writing
them and sending them in.

In every case, send a short cover letter addressed to the person
you want your material to be considered by… This means that
you send your story to the city editor of the newspapers;  the
news directors of the radio and TV stations;  and the managing
editors of the various trade publications.  It will do you no
good what-so-ever, to send your material to the advertising,
circulation or business managers - describing how you’re a
long-time advertiser, subscriber or listener.  The most
important thing is that you make contact with the person who has
the final say as to what is to be published or broadcast, and at
the bottom line - this person’s use of your material will
somehow make him a “hero” to his or her readers, viewers or
listeners.

The cover letter should be a short note.  Go to a paper supplier
- tell him you want a hundred or so sheets of good bond paper -
8 1/2 by 11″ preferably in a pastel color such as blue or ivory
- and that you want this paper cut into quarters, giving you a
grand total of 400 sheets of note paper.  “From the desk of…”
note sheets are too elaborate until the people you’re contacting
get to know you - first time around, and until they use your
material, don’t use these semi-formal note sheets…

On this note sheet, begin with the date across the top - skip a
couple of spaces and then quickly tell the recipient of the
note: the attached material is new and should be of real
interest to his readers, viewers or listeners.  We advise our
dealers and distributors of MONEY MAKING MAGIC - our regular
publication for serious wealth builders and extra income seekers
- to send the following note to the editors and news directors
of the media in their areas:

“Here’s something that ’s new, and for a change, truly helpful,
to people trying to cope with inflation - the soaring costs of
living - and those engaged in building extra income businesses
of their own.  Should be of real value - interest - to your
readers.  Please take a look - any questions, or if you need
more info, give me a call at:  (503) 666-5824…”  Then, of
course, you skip about four spaces, type your name, your
business name, and your address - sign your name above where
you’ve typed it, and staple this note in the upper right hand
corner of your news release.  This note should be typed and
double-spaced.

So now, you’ve got a cover letter, and you know who to send it
to… We type up one such note, and take it to a near-by
quick-print shop.  They Xerox the note 4 times, past these
4-copies onto one sheet of paper, print 50 to 100 copies, and
cut the paper into individual notes, all for less that $10… Do
not try to save money by photo-copying or Xeroxing - a
photo-copy is a photo-copy is a photo-copy, and will not do the
job for you…

Now you need the actual publicity release, which also must be
“properly” written if you expect it to be used by the media.
Above all else, there’s a proper form or style to use, plus the
fact that it must be typed, double-spaced, and short - about a
half page in total length.

About an inch from the top of the paper, with an inch and a half
margin on each side of the paper;  from the left hand margin,
type in all capital letters:  PRESS RELEASE:  Then, underline
these words.  Immediately following the colon, but not in all
capital letters, put in the date.  Always set the date forward
by at least one day after the day you intend to mail the release.

On the same line, but on the right hand side of the page, and in
all capital letters, write the words, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:
Underline this, and immediately below, but not in all capital
letters, type your name - your phone number - and your address…

Skip a couple of spaces, then in all capital letters - centered
between the margins - type a story headline, and underline it…
Skip a couple of spaces, and from the left hand margin, all in
capital letters, type the words, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  From
there on, it’s the news or publicity story itself.

You can write the headline before the story, and then a story to
fit the headline - or the story before the headline, and then a
headline to fit the story - either way, it’s basically the same
as writing a space ad or a sales letter… You attract attention
and interest with the headline and fill in the details with your
story.

Here’s an example of the headlines we use on publicity blurbs
for MONEY MAKING MAGIC:

HELP IN MAKING ENDS MEET

NEW PUBLICATION FOR EXTRA INCOME SEEKERS

Notice how we continue to sell or involve the editor - His
readers are always looking for better ways to make ends meet,
and he’s specifically interested as to what our promise
involves… He wants his readers to “think well” of him for
enlightening them with this source of help, so he reads into the
story to find out who, what and how…

Suffice it to say that your headline, and the story you present
to the editor, must sell him on the benefits of your product or
service to his readers.  Unless it specifically does this, he’ll
not use it.  You must sell the first person receiving your
materials.  Keep this fact uppermost in your mind as you write
it.  The person you send your press or publicity release to,
must quickly see and understand how your product or service will
benefit his readers - thereby making him a hero to them - and he
must be assured it will do what you promise in your headline.

Come right to the point and say your product is lower in price,
more convenient to use or in what way your product or service is
useful to the people in general.  It’s also a good idea to
include a complimentary sample of your product or an opportunity
for him to sample your services.

Remember, the editors receiving your information are fully aware
of your purposes - Free Advertising!  They are not in the least
interested in you or your credentials - If you’ve sold them on
the benefits of your business to their readers, and they want
background details, they’ll call you.  That’s why you list your
telephone number and address…

These people are busy people.  They have not got the time nor
the interest in reading about your trials and tribulations or
plans for the future.  They want only “a flag” that alerts them
to something new and of probable real interest to their readers.

Sell the editor first.  Convince him that you’ve found the
better mousetrap.  Show him that your product or service - that
your business - fills a need and/or will interest a large
segment of his readers, his viewers or listeners.

When an editor uses your publicity release, always follow-up
with a short thank you note.  Never, but never send a publicity
release to an editor and then call or write demanding to know
why he didn’t use it, use it as you wrote it, or only gave you a
quick mention.  Do this once, and that particular media will
“round-file” any further material received from you, unopened!
If your first effort is not used, then you should review the
story itself;  perhaps write it from a different angle;  make
sure you’re sending it to the proper person - and try again!

As stated earlier, these people are busy, with hundreds of
publicity releases passing across their desks every day - They
only have so much space or time - therefore, your material has
to stand out and in some way, fit with the information they -
the editors - want to pass along to their readers, viewers or
listeners.  Regardless of your business, product, or service,
you must build your press release - write it - around that
particular angle or feature that makes it beneficial or interest
to the readers, viewer or listeners of the media you want to run
your press release.  Without this special ingredient, you’re
lost before you begin!

The timing of your press release is always important.  Try to
associate your press release with current events in the news.  A
story on job lay-offs and increased unemployment carried in the
newspapers, on TV and radio would prompt us to get a publicity
release out to all the media on the help and opportunity offered
by MONEY MAKING MAGIC!  Say there’s a deluge of chain letters
and pyramid schemes making the round - the media picks up on it
and attempts to warn the people to beware… Within 5 days, we
would get a publicity release out, explaining the availability
of our report on chain letters and pyramid schemes - a report
that explains everything from A to Z - who’re the winners and
who’re the real losers.

There’s another kind of timing also to keep in mind…
Publication deadlines… For best results, always try to time it
so your material reaches the editor in time for the Sunday
paper.  This is because that’s when the papers have their
greatest circulation;  the most space is available;  and the
people, the most time to read the paper.

For articles you’d like to appear in the Sunday paper, you’ll
generally have to get your release in at least nine days prior
to the date of publication.  If you’re in doubt, call and ask
about the deadline date.

IN SUMMARY:

Choose the media most likely to carry your press release.
Select those that carry similar write-ups on a regular basis.

Always use a cover letter of some kind.  It pays to call ahead
to find out the name of the person you should be sending your
press release to.

Use the proper press release form, complete with a headline that
will interest the man deciding whether or not to use your item.

Be sure your press release is letter perfect - no typo’s or
misspelled words - and don’t photo-copy - always have each
letter or press release individually typed or printed.

When your item is used, send a thank you note or call the editor
on the phone and thank him for using your press release.

Never, but never call or write an editor demanding to know why
he didn’t use your press release, why he had it rewritten or cut
it short - just try, and try again!

                         37 INSTANT MONEYMAKING
                          PART-TIME BUSINESSES
Introduction

You’re on the road to success - Congratulations!  You bought
this report because you want information on starting a business,
part-time at first, without investing a lot of money, yet one
that will quickly be a money-maker.  You’ll find a number of
them here.

In each one we give the basic concept of the business, what
product or service it provides to your customers, and how it is
operated, and (if any are necessary) what equipment or
facilities or help will be needed.

But whatever business you choose, remember that no business can
succeed without your effort.  remember that determination and
hard work are the mother and father of success.  If you supply
those, and use the information we supply, you can’t miss.  Good
luck!

1. Television Computer Pictures

Lease a computer printer and a video camera and a  monitor
screen that produces large-size, high contrast portraits of
customers in 30 seconds, while they wait.  You will find this a
sure-fire crowd attracter, as the printer chatters away.  Set up
in a crowded resort are.  Charge at least $4 a picture, framed
in a simple mat, almost all of which is gross profit.  Net cost
of all materials, about 8 cents.

Hot source:  The equipment to do this is available from
Sketch Division, 140 Wood Road, Braintree, Mass. 02184

2. Badge-Making

Rent a small multilith printing machine and a badge sealing
machine, and using self-adhesive Presstype for typesetting,
design and set cut sayings for the badges.  Sell as a custom
service, making slogans to order, or make a wide range of
far-out sayings in bulk quantities and sell them to local gift
and novelty shops for resale.

3. Run a “Consignment Shop”

It requires very little capital and accepts goods for sale from
members of the public and sells these items for them on a
commission basis.  You might try a wide variety of items at
first, to see what sells best and most regularly.

4. Picture Framing, In Your Own Home                                                                                              Relatively inexpensive materials with a good sense of color and
style and a reasonable ability with carpentry tools, will build
a large custom-framing business, since people who spend money on
art won’t skimp on the frames either, if they want a
good-looking result.

5. Rental Equipment

Be the source of supplies for do-it-yourselfers.  Working only
Saturdays and Sundays, when they do, you rent out power tools,
such as circular saws, jigsaws, reciprocating saws, gasoline
chain saws, electric drills, electric planers, belt and orbital
sanders, routers, paint sprayers, wallpaper-removal steamers,
staple guns, pumps, home cleaning machines, Roto-tillers, and
other equipment for daily fees.  Operate out of your garage.

6. Talent Bureau, For Kid’s or Adults’ Parties

Using local ads, or your own contacts, line up 10 to 20 local
entertainers, magicians, comics, puppeteers and other talents,
and supply them for parties, club meetings and other functions.
Have a list of films you can also supply for the same, or other
groups, which they can project themselves, if they wish, or you
will supply an operator.

7. Throwing Parties for Profit

Everyone loves to go to a party, and nowadays some smart
operators make a mint running them for everybody who wants to
attend.  You can too!  Hire a hall and a band, plan to set up a
bar (if you can get a temporary liquor permit), and promote the
hell out of it with ads, handbills, bumper stickers and
lamp-post posters.  Special parties aimed at a particular group
do best, such as singles, or under-thirties, or over-forties.
This idea is especially good in college towns.

8. Start a Hobby Center

Make money on your unused space (and maybe the power tools
you’ve already paid for!)  Turn your basement into a woodworking
center, your spare bedroom into a photo darkroom, and your
garage into a pottery workshop with a wheel and a small kiln.
Rent the space and equipment by the hour, expand into more
hobbies as time and money permit, and charge additional fees for
instruction in any of those fields you’re good at.

9. Organize a Babysitting Service

One of the troubles most people find is that their babysitter is
always busy just the night they want to go out.  You set up a
service, finding good reliable teenage girls and boys,
middle-aged or older women, and act as a go-between, providing
sitters whenever your customers want them, collecting the fees,
and paying the sitters.  Advertise your service, and handbills
house-to-house locally being a good way.

10. Make Money From Your Hobbies

Are you an expert at something that you do at home for fun?
Then make it pay off for you!  If you’re a gourmet cook, give
cooking lessons in the haut cuisine.  If you’re an accomplished
painter in oils or water-color, offer a portrait-painting
service.  If you’re a skilled carpenter, design and make custom
cabinets to order.  Almost any hobby you’re good at can be
turned to making a profit if you think about it carefully, and
decide who could use your expertise - as a consultant in that
field, if nothing else.  All you really have to do to get
started is to place an ad!

11. Publish a Buy/Swap Paper in Your Town

Get money from both ends in this sweetheart deal. Publish the
weekly paper with classified ads from the public offering stuff
for sale, arranged according to category, and charge the people
for their ads (some operators let them pay only if and when they
sell, but in that case charge them a percentage of the selling
price, 5% for smaller items, 2% or 3% for automobiles), and then
sell the newspaper (suggest price is 25 cents) as well, through
local newsstands and by subscription (in the mail).  Once you
have a fairly decent circulation, local merchants will also pay
you for display ads, because they know people really read buy
and swap newspapers religiously cover-to-cover.

12. Do Custom Photo Developing

Quality is essential, and speed is generally also required,
although you can charge a premium for rush service.  If you
already have an elaborate dark-room set-up in your home, so much
the better, but if not it can be fitted in anywhere you have
room, the basement being ideal, since windows are not a
requirement.  You must be able not only to develop and print
every normal size of film from 35 mm to 8″ x 10″ but handle
enlargements up to a minimum of 30″ x 40″, and preferably 5″ 8*”
or more, and do copying both of opaque material and slides.  An
ability to offer retouching, restoration and coloring as well is
helpful, even if you have to send that specialized work out.

13. Publish a Part-Time Jobs Directory

Make this a newsstand book, as well as offering it, with small
ads, by mail order.  List all the possible jobs people can get
part-time, especially angling it at college kids on vacation,
teachers after school hours, housewives with time on their
hands, and moonlighters looking for part-time second jobs.
14. Run a Children’s “Explorer Club”

Take kids on Saturday and Sunday  outings.  Ten kids each day,
to zoos, farms, theaters, children’s shows and sports events.  A
small micro-bus (rented and, or eventually bought) can be used
to travel in.  Many parents are delighted to  have weekend days
to themselves, even though it costs them some dough.

15. Be an Instructor

Teach whatever you know.  Your trade, profession, cooking
skills, a second language, woodworking, chess, photography,
knitting, karate, bridge, auto repair, etc.  People will pay for
good lessons in these useful and enjoyable skills.

16. Run a Floor Scraping/Polishing Service

You buy or (at first) rent, a heavy-duty machine, and do the
cleaning and waxing of fine, hardwood floors.  If the floors are
in very bad condition, machine sand them and them completely
refinish them with modern super-durable polyurethane finishes.

17. Operate a Children’s Hotel

This is sort of a “boarding house” for kids while their parent
go away for a week-end or two-week vacation.  Requires a large
house, and preferably, a large yard or grounds, swings, slides,
and facilities useful for kids.  Must be done very responsibly
and carefully.  Also, don’t take very young children (less than
9 or 10 say) because they may require too much dressing,
feeding, etc.

18. Start a Mail-Order Business

Write a booklet about something people really want to know
about, print a few hundred copies, and place some small ads.
You’d be surprised how much money you can make.  Sell modern
copies of out-of-print uncopyrighted material or books.  Or sell
something unusual you make at home, providing that it is
something really useful to your prospective customers.  Or sell
some of your ideas such as #2 badges, #37 genealogy, and others.

19. Operate a Xerox Copy Center

The secret of this is not just selling one or two copies of each
original (although on a 300-page original manuscript, that can
add up too), but using one of the latest high-speed high-quality
mass-production Xeroxes so that you can compete with the guys
operating those quick printing services, by turning out 100 or
200 resumes, letters, or circulars just as fast, and probably a
great deal faster, for the same (or potentially less if you want
to be competitive) money as they charge.  This way you have two
kinds of work, giving you twice as many customers, and twice the
profit opportunity, and with the right location, a chance to
clean up.

If you want to offer even more services, and have the space in
your shop, as well as the potential customers, you can offer
Xerox reductions (New York Times-size page down to 8-1/2″x11″),
and Xerox copies in full-color, which are remarkably good.  The
color machine will also make color copies directly from 35 mm.
color slides in one quick step.

Of course, you can consider using other brands of xerographic
copiers, such as IBM, Kodak, Savin, Canon, Minolta or others,
but although you may theoretically save money, make sure of
their service policies, and that they have field servicemen in
your locality, or you may find yourself stuck with a copier on
the fritz for a week, which could ruin your  business.

20. Be a Local News Correspondent

For big city papers some distance from your town.  When an event
occurs in your area you write the story for those papers (they
have correspondents in many big places but not in most small
towns or isolated areas) and they pay you for it.  This is known
as being a “stringer”.  If you’re good with a camera, take
photos to accompany the story.

21. Campground Store-On-Wheels

Use either a panel truck or a camper body on a pick-up truck
chassis.  Go to public park areas and campgrounds selling
charcoal, paper plates, water-melon, ice cream, eggs, milk,
bread, insect repellent, sunglasses, newspapers, etc.

22. Create a New Tour-Bus Service

Even in affluent America, not everyone has a car, and even those
who do often prefer to leave long trips to a professional bus
driver.  and although there are bus tours offered to some
familiar places, there are still so many interesting, even
exciting, places people would like to go to, if they were
offered the chance.  Here’s where you come in.  You must be
creative about it, and study all the six-State areas around your
hometown, to discover some original and different places to
travel to on day trips which will “turn on” your prospective
customers, and get them to sign up.

The rest is easy.  You get competitive quotes (from commercial
bus companies) for a quality bus to do the round-trip, with a
suitable stopover at the destination point (enough to do the
sights, shop and maybe eat as well).  Then you figure you tour
price per person so you can make a profit even if the bus is
only half full or so.  Then you have a safety margin - and if
you sell every seat you will do very well indeed.

Then all you have to do is sell.  You put little ads in your
local papers, paste up flyers wherever you can (supermarkets are
good), contact local travel agents (of course you give them a
percentage on what they sell for you), local hotel clerks, etc.,
and you also contact women’s clubs, religious groups, fraternal
societies, factory social organizations, and so on (they may
take a whole bus, or even two, and you give them a special
price, naturally).

23. Run a Pet Hotel Service

For dogs or cats or both.  People will pay high fees to ensure
high-quality care of the animal they love.  Separate kennels for
each animal are essential.  Good food and adequate care and
attention must be assured also. You can hire responsible
teenagers to help you.  Advertise with posters in pet shops,
veterinarians’ offices; and if they’re cheaply available, get
the mailing lists of local ASPCA groups and other animal welfare
groups, as well as membership lists of dog and cat clubs.

24. Sell Second-Hand Kids Clothing

Children usually outgrow their clothes rather than wearing them
out.  So many families have such clothing left around.  You
collect it, paying nothing or as little as possible.  Then you
resell it;  you can do the selling by ads, handbills or through
your church or community groups.

25. Breed Tropical Fish

This requires only a moderate amount of space and a small
investment in equipment.  Properly done, it needs only a small
amount of your time yet can make you a good profit.  You can
obtain your beginning stock from the large wholesale dealers.
You can sell direct to consumers (the hobbyists) or to stores in
your area.

26. Make Plastic Engraved Signs

All you need is a simple-to-operate machine that engraves
lettering in various types onto sheets of plastic of many
colors, finishes and sizes.  Perfect for signs for merchants,
banks, doctors, dentists, schools and colleges, private front
doors, and many other uses.

Hot Source for the Machine:

New Hermes Engravograph from New Hermes Inc., 20 Cooper Square,
New York, NY 10003.
27. Sell Christmas Trees

Seasonal, but if you have the time in the few weeks before
Christmas, can be a good money maker.  Find a vacant storefront
or lot, or space inside a larger building, where people pass by.
But be sure to order a supply of trees enough in advance.  And
if you own country land that is not being used, consider growing
the trees yourself.  Your first crop can be ready in four years,
with steady crops from then on.

28.  Open a Rubber Stamp Business

Manufacture them in your basement.  The materials needed are
cheap.  And the finished stamps can be sold to many people,
storeowners, offices, individuals.  You can market them by mail
and through local merchants.

Hot Source:  The machine and a financing plan to buy it are
available from: Rubber Stamp Division, 1512 Jarvis Ave., Chicago,
IL  60626

29. Camper’s Equipment Rental Service

With urban living, the back-to-nature movement is growing and
camping is becoming very popular.  Rent out tents, sleeping
bags, portable propane stoves, chairs, etc.  Demand
identification from customers and reliable security (keeping one
of their credit cards is good).

30. Operate a Key-Safety Service

Each customer is sold a special tag to put on his or her key
ring.  It says “Drop in any mailbox” and has the address of a
post office box that you rent (Don’t use your home address for
the same reason your customers shouldn’t have their home address
on their keys - dishonest people finding the keys will come
prowling around).  You assign each customer’s tag a code number
from a list that you keep.  When someone’s keys arrive at your
post office box, you return them to him, for another fee.

31. Be a Used Car Buying Consultant

With a knowledge of cars, plus the proper test equipment (for
checking the engine, transmission, brakes, font-end alignment,
and chassis), you go with your customer to check out the used
car he is thinking of buying.  Advertise your service next to
the ads offering used cars for sale.  After a while you will get
to know people in this field and you can pick up more money by
acting as a middleman in sales between private individuals.

32. Sell “Loss Leaders” for Profit

This may sound contradictory but it isn’t.  Supermarkets aren’t
the only ones who use loss leaders.  A good mail-order idea is
offering a cute item (worth much more) for $1 in women’s
magazines, giving prompt delivery and including with it stuffers
(ads with order blanks) for half a dozen more expensive items.
The repeat business on the other items makes the $1 offer
profitable.

33. Baby Items Rental Service

You rent everything needed for a baby’s care - stroller,
playpen, high chair, etc.  When the customer’s baby outgrows
them you rent to the next couple.  Of course, you must
advertise, and also send direct mail pieces to all couples with
new births (get their names from hospitals and newspapers and
list brokers).

34.  Operate a “Give a Party” Service

You rent out everything needed for a party:  tables, chairs,
punch bowls, table cloths, cutlery, and napkins.  You can also
supply waitresses and bartenders, finding them through agencies
that supply temporary help such as Manpower.  But if you can
find good workers yourself, you can save the agency fee and make
more money.

35.  Operate a Miniature Slot Car Racing Track

In your basement (or wherever you can fit it) build a large and
elaborate miniature slot car racing track (with a least 6 or 8
slots).  Local kids, and often adults, pay you by the hour to
race, using either your cars or theirs.  To boost interest you
can hold monthly contests with trophies.

36.  All-Service Service

You line up the specialists in fixing almost anything, and take
care of getting them customers by delivering handbills to homes
and placing ads in supermarkets and local papers.  They pay you
5% of every job refer to them, which can soon add up.

37.  Genealogy for People Who Want Roots

You seek out the records in public or university libraries,
county courthouses and elsewhere, as necessary, for a sliding
fee, depending on the size of family, difficulties in getting
information, geographic dispersion, and other factors.

150 FIRMS THAT PAY YOU TO WORK AT HOME

Dear Opportunity Seeker,

Enclosed is the listings that you requested. According to all the
available information and sources within our computer network,
the companies listed here have shown a great need for home-based
workers such as yourself. All of our listed companies are revised
on a regular basis, since some of them may change their needs or
requirements. Although we believe our information to be
completely reliable. We cannot however, guarantee its complete
accuracy and we never stop researching firms in the HOMEWORK
INDUSTRY and make every effort to provide the type of programs
that you, the homebased worker are seeking.

It is now the time for you to read over the listed companies and
pick those in the various groups that you wish to contact. We
urge that you PLEASE contact each and every company listed,
regardless of which group they are in. All that’s now required is
to send a large business (10) envelope with one (1) 29 cent stamp
affixed in the upper right hand corner. You then address this
envelope to yourself (SASE) leaving it unsealed, then fold it
into another #10 envelope that you will address to each of the
companies below. BEFORE sealing the mailing envelope, neatly
print or type a short note asking details on their HOMEWORKERS
PROGRAM (S). It is requested you DO NOT write long letters since
they are not read and are often discarded by mail room personnel,
and even if that is not the case, you do not want the companies
response to be delayed, simply because your inquiry laid around
while someone tried to determine just what you were requesting.

Once the listed companies receive your inquiry, they have
instructions to send your materials. Please follow directions. If
you send anything other than what is called for, you will get
little or no response. Be patient, some firms are very large,
international in size, some are on a seasonal basis, so it might
take a few weeks for some responses to reach you.

NOTICE

The listed companies have been separated into 3 different groups,
based upon the type of work they offer. If you are NOT going to
contact all companies listed, be sure to check which particular
group is of interest to you, before you write to any companies.

The following companies usually have more than one to offer. If
so, they will present you with all their opportunities after you
contact them. Which offers they send you and in what order they
will be sent, depends entirely entirely upon their processing
abilities at that time.

27 SERVICE BIZ TO START NOW!

There are hundreds of opportunities in the service arena offering
low-cost start-ups and high profit returns. Almost all can be run

There’s still room to grab your share of the multi-billion dollar
service industry. Most of them– the exception is the private
postal center shop-can be run from home.

1. MONOGRAMMING Everybody loves to see their name, logo or
company team emblazoned on a cap, T-shirt, towel, apron, etc. You
can set up a monogramming business right at your kitchen table.

local newspapers. For start-up information, contact Meistergram

commercial cleaning service by tying in with a carpet cleaning
giant such as Duraclean International, Inc., or Von Schrader. You
can start on a part-time basis and develop the business into a
full-time enterprise. To find out how to get the machines and
equipment, contact two companies that can help set you up with
your own business. Von Schrader, 1600 Junction Ave.,Racine, WI
43403, 414-634-1956, 800-626-6916: Duraclean International,

LI’L BABY.

5. WINDSHIELD REPAIR. Car owners hate those bubbles and cracks in
their windshields caused by stones or other debris bouncing from
the pavement. There are a few companies who teach you how to set

materials. Start-up costs vary. Contact: Glass-Weld, 20578 Empire

6. CHIMNEY CLEANING. Heating homes with wood burning stoves is a
cheaper alternative to electric or natural gas heat. Because the

for about $2000. For more information on this business
opportunity, contact August West, 38 Austin St.,Worchester, MA

7. AUTO DETAILING. Consumers who shell out $30,000 plus for a
Mercedes or a BMW are not about to cut costs when it comes to
keeping their car in cream puff condition. Entrepreneurs show up
at the owner’s home or office and completely wash, wax and clean
the interior of the car. The experts at The Curtis System have
researched and produced a line of products that help auto
detailers set up a business. They will also teach one exactly how
to do it. For more information contact The Curtis System, 8818
Mountain Rd.,Box 250, Stowe, VT 05672 or call 800-334-3395.

engraving business. But Paragrave Corporation can teach just
about anyone to do it. Their system involves a process that is as
easy as tracing. For more information contact Paragrave
Corporation, 1455 West Center St.,Orem, UT 84058 or call
801-825-8300, 800-624-7415.

9. ADVERTISING SPECILATIES. There are thousands and thousands of
potential customers right in your region and through mail order.
Advertising specialties are pens, caps, paperweights,
flashlights, key chains, etc. that feature the name of the
company along with address and phone number on it. The items can
be given out at grand openings, sale days, holiday gifts, or
trade shows. Your business is making them (and making money). For
more information, contact BASCO, 9351 DeSoto Ave., Chatsworth, CA
91311-4948.

10. TEST MACHINES. The incidence of drunk driving is reaching an
all time high. Bars, restaurants and diners are increasingly
working with entrepreneurs who will set up alcohol test machines;
bar patrons can actually check their alcohol levels. For more
information contact Communidyne, 636 Anthony Trail, Northbrook,
IL 60062, or call 708-498-2444, FAX # 708-498-6369.

a check or money order for $12.95 plus $2.50 for shipping and
handling to Starr Gift Baskets, 8045 Antoine, #147, Houston, TX
77088.

14. HOME INSPECTION. There are dangers lurking in residential
homes-bad water, radon, asbestos, termites, etc. Home buyers who
shell out an average of $150,000 for a home these days don’t want
to buy a lemon. Home inspectors charge about $200 to come in and
make a complete check of the home. Many states are requiring that
homes be inspected before the sale is finalized making the
opportunity even brighter for entrepreneurs who start a home
inspection business. You can learn how to get started and run
this business from the franchised operation AmeriSpec or through
National Property Inspections. For more information, write or
call AmeriSpec Home Inspection Service, 1855 W. Katella Ave.,Ste

Fifth Ave.,Suite 323, New York, NY 10010.

17. INSTALL SLIPPROOF SURFACES. As our population is getting
older, more Americans are slipping and falling in their homes and
in commercial establishments. Even young folks can fall on wet
surfaces near a swimming pool or shower/tub. You can start a
business installing slipproof surfaces in residential and
commercial buildings. Saf-T-Grip is a product that you install.

can earn you $250 to $500 based on the rate of $65 per hour. Nice
work because you can do it at night and on weekends. Many states

CHOOSE A BIZ THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

Owner and founder of Corporate Music is G.E. Maas. We asked Mr.
Maas for some tips and how would-be entrepreneurs should go about
choosing a business opportunity.

Mr. Maas recommends that you start by listing businesses or
hobbies that are of interest to you. After choosing several
opportunities, find out if you really need a franchise or
distributorship to go into that particular business.

Some individuals offer do-it-yourself start-up kits through
magazine advertisements. Often these do-it-yourself start-up kits
through magazine advertisements. Often these do-it-yourself kits
are enough to help individuals start many different types of
businesses.

Some franchisers, such as Complete Music, says Mr. Maas, actually
list the support that is provided, as well as what is necessary
to provide that level of support for yourself with their help.

If you decide not to go it alone, he suggests, contact those
businesses that interest you. Ask to be sent their information
packets AND a list of owners (with phone numbers) that you may
contact on your own.

This is extremely important because the literature that is sent
out does inform, but is promotional in nature, whereas, actual
owners or distributors are actively involved in the business you
are investing.

Once all the information is received, narrow down your choices as
much as possible. Check out those remaining companies as if your
future depended on it, says Mr. Maas, because it does.

Have your attorney and accountant examine the legal and financial
documents respectively. Weigh the pluses and minuses of each
company. Contact as many owners or distributors as possible. Find
out first hand their thoughts on home office support,
profitability, company integrity and the day to day enjoyment of
operating their business.

Ask them any questions that would help you make a good, informed
decision.

“Any company you are considering should encourage you to contact
their owners or distributors,” he explained.
Mr. Maas also suggests that after you’ve made your decision,
sleep on it. Do not allow yourself to be rushed into any decision
by anyone. “a good company will want you to take the time
necessary to make decisions that are right for you.”

A collection of businesses selected especially for college and
senior high school students interested in augmenting their
income through free enterprise.

These businesses can be started with minimal training and
investment and are virtually certain to produce extra income.
Most can be operated by one or a group of students, and can be
sold for an additional profit upon graduation.

For best results browse through the enclosed business
suggestions and note those that sound interesting. Jot down
alternative products and services that come to mind. This list
is designed to work with and stimulate your imagination. Only
you can possibly know your personal qualifications and interests
or the current market in your community. As you compile your
list of “possibles”, take a good look around your market area.
Note what is and isn’t available, what is over priced and
inadequate that people in your community will pay for.  When you
find just the right combination for your particular situation,
start preparing for a successful business!

The recommended method to prepare for a successful business is
to write out a business plan. This is simply an outline of what
you plan to do and how you intend to do it. Writing your
business plan will force you to organize your business both on
paper and in your own mind and help insure your ultimate
business success.

Finally, check with city hall or the county courthouse (and
school if you operate on campus) on state and local license, tax
or permit requirements before investing. Sometimes a minor
adjustment at this stage can prevent future headaches!

Finally, familiarize yourself with your subject and start
ordering initial supplies (business cards, rubber stamp,
ledger). Don’t invest too much in initial stock. You will
undoubtedly make adjustments as you learn more about your market.

A collection of businesses selected especially for retirees who
are interested in augmenting their income through the American
free enterprise system.

These businesses can be started with minimum training and
investment and are all capable of producing extra income. Most
can easily be operated by one person or couple and eventually be
sold for an additional profit.

For best results browse through the enclosed business
suggestions and note those that sound interesting. Jot down
alternative products and services that come to mind. These ideas
are intended to stimulate your imagination. Only you can
possibly know your personal qualifications and interests or the
current market in your community. As you compile your list of
possibilities, take a critical look around your market area.
Note what is and isn’t available, what is overpriced or
inadequate that people in your community will pay for. When you
find just the right combination for your particular situation,
start preparing for a successful business!

The recommended method to prepare for a successful business is
to write out a business plan. This is simply an outline of what
you plan to do and how you intend to do it. Writing your
business plan will force you to organize your business both on
paper and in your own mind and help insure your ultimate
business success.

Check with city hall or the county courthouse on state and local
license, tax or permit requirements before making your final
selection and investing your available funds. Sometimes a minor
adjustment can prevent future headaches!
