Make Money With Restaurant Cards

Make Money With Restaurant Cards

This is a great idea which shows how you can make a profit from bringing together two groups of people who need each other! It also shows how solving a problem for a specific market can bring you more customers and clients for your service than you might have thought possible.

What’s more you can also choose to outsource a lot of the work involved, making this more of a ‘hands off’ opportunity than you might think. Everyone has a wealth of restaurants of all kinds nearby, and every single one represents a chance to make a good income on a regular basis.

Take a moment to think about all the restaurants you have in your home town. Which ones immediately come to mind?

The chances are the first ones you think of will be the big, brand name restaurants because they can afford to advertise and let everyone know they’re there and what they offer.

But there is a big chance there are plenty of smaller restaurants in your area that you have never heard of (you might even have walked past them without realizing they were there), purely because they don’t have the funds to advertise in the same way as the competition.

This is where you can make a real difference.

If you think about this in a logical manner you’ll soon see that you can put together a marketing plan which allows the smaller restaurants to find new business, and gives the potential customers in your area a reason to visit them.

What you would need to do is get hold of a few sample cards (think postcard sized) which demonstrate the service you could offer to these restaurants. You can often find online printers that will give you twenty five or more postcards printed for free – all you do is pay for postage. If you get a good design together that promotes a fictional restaurant and gives your potential clients an idea of how your marketing plan works, you will have a powerful marketing tool to show people.

The idea is to promote the restaurant by offering a discount on a meal there. You could also produce a sheet of ideas as part of your marketing plan. For example, a three course meal for a fixed price; 10% off a meal on a certain day; free dessert with a main meal, and so on.

Basically these can be suggested to each restaurant you come into contact with, and the idea is that they will pay you a fee to have postcards printed up and delivered door to door in the local area, to encourage people to come and visit the restaurant and take advantage of the deals advertised on the postcard.

This is where postcards will work better than leaflets or any other form of advertising. Firstly they tend to have more perceived value than a simple sheet of paper, and secondly they are more likely to be kept by people who receive them. This means that more people are likely to take advantage of your marketing efforts – and that could result in repeat orders from each restaurant.

Make sure that the cards need to be presented when visiting the restaurant in order to take advantage of the deal. This means the restaurant will know exactly how well the advertising is doing, and it will boost your business as a result.

You will need to distribute the postcards door to door but you can pay someone else to do this for you. Make sure you pick someone trustworthy that will complete the job though, since you want to ensure that every single card gets delivered.

This is a great little business idea that can also work for other local businesses too if you want to expand it at any point. The great thing about doing this is that you can deliver any number of postcards through the doors at the same time; so long as you bundle them up first so you can put a sheaf of cards through each letterbox you won’t have any problems at all. And if you become friendly with a local printer you could offer to advertise their business on a card in exchange for a cheaper service…

 

Make Money With Pay Per Click Arbitrage

Make Money With Pay Per Click Arbitrage

You’ve probably heard of Pay Per Click – the method of paying for your ad to appear high up in search engine listings and literally paying for every occasion that someone clicks on that ad.

But you may not heard of Pay Per Click arbitrage. That’s probably because it isn’t talked about much in internet circles when compared to other potential money making opportunities. Some people regard it as slightly underhand but others do it as a matter of course and make a considerable amount of money as a result.

But is it for you?

First of all, if we are going to understand what Pay Per Click arbitrage is all about, we need to get a definition for the word arbitrage. It might be familiar to you but not many people can actually say what it means.

Put simply, it’s the process of buying something from somewhere and then selling it somewhere else. So in this case what happens is that the person in question buys their clicks from a large search engine – like Google or Yahoo – and then gets rewarded by redirecting those people who click on their ads to another set of ads on their website, which they then get paid more for, thus making a profit.

Sounds confusing? It can be to begin with, but think of it like this. Everyone is familiar with Google Adsense, which is the program you can sign up for to put ads on your website. When someone clicks on one of those ads, you make some money. With Google AdWords however, you are paying for your own ad to be clicked on.

The same applies to Pay Per Click Arbitrage. What you do is set up a page which basically has a whole range of adverts on it. You get access to these ads by signing up for the equivalent of Google Adsense, but you sign up with a secondary search engine instead because they often give you a better payout.

Then you advertise with Pay Per Click to find the people who will be most likely to click on the ads on your site. Not all of them will go on to do that, but if you can get enough people clicking through you can make a profit by taking the cost of the Pay Per Click program off the profit you are making from your ads.

The secret to success here is to know which areas to advertise in. Do some research and find some profitable niches to focus your attentions on. The idea is to start with one small single page website and expand that experiment to include several others once you have got the hang of it.

Make sure you pick a good domain name for each one as well. If it is relevant then you should rank higher in the search results. Keep on top of your efforts and monitor your results to see how you can better your profits.

Make Money With Party Planning

Make Money With Party Planning

If you are a sociable person and you like the idea of playing host to make some extra cash, then think about getting into a business which offers the chance to make money via party planning.

Not only is it a great way to earn money, it’s also a wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening that doesn’t seem much like working! There are plenty of opportunities about so make sure you explore the market thoroughly before choosing the one that appeals to you the most. Don’t forget you will essentially be selling face to face, so if you don’t have any enthusiasm or confidence in the products, you won’t sell too many of them.

Want to know more? Read on for a more detailed look inside this business.

Party planning has been around in one form or another in many countries for years. The focus of the different businesses varies a lot – some sell risqué adult only items, some sell facial and skincare products, and others sell all kinds of home items that would appeal to different people.

The right business for you will be the one you are naturally interested in. For example, if you already have a passion for home made craft items then a business in this sector would probably be very good for you. Not only would you get all your own items at a discount price, you may already know several other people who share the same hobby. You can invite them along to a get together evening where you can show and demonstrate the new stock items for them to buy.

The key to success with party planning is to approach it with confidence and plan an evening where the focus isn’t just on selling. Of course you will want to sell as much as you can, but make sure you throw a decent party with nibbles and drinks available if possible. If you want to keep the cost down so that it doesn’t eat into your profits too much, you can always ask people to bring a bottle or a plate of nibbles each, so you’ll get a good spread overall. You can only really do this if you know everyone well though, so be careful.

The most important thing is to evaluate a number of different businesses before choosing which one you want to go with. Some of them may incur a joining fee and there may be minimum orders to meet with others. By looking at a shortlist of possibilities you will be able to get a much better idea of which one is going to be right for you. Make sure you read through all the paperwork and understand the whole process before agreeing to anything.
