HEy Newbie:
WOrd of advice. Listen to Maa Maw and others. I have been hanging out here since about 1999. You can learn a lot. You will learn from people like myself who have been "burned,torched and plain ripped". Before throwing out your hard earned money, check this board, the Seeds of Wisdom board and the ripoff report.com. Excellent resources. ALso, think about what you like to do. Art, Lawn care, maybe you can make some money from that.
HEre is another, Jim STraw has 17 free ideas. I am sure you can get the link from someone. Also, check out my post a few down about an awesome book I just read. Also, go down to your local library and check out: Starting your own business, self publishing and Marketing books. The Cincinnati Library where I go has tons. Please do research, hold your money for awhile and get out a pen and paper and start writing down some ideas. Then you can check out Score.com for free business advice not to mention they probably have a local office for you to visit.
Let me give you a cheap idea that i did a few years ago and it won't cost you more than $20 to start. My phone rang off the hook and I quit not because of lack of work but my back hurt from doing it. Shoveling doggie doo. You just need a bag and a shovel and a few fliers (I put mine in a walmart by the pay phone). People will pay you for this service. It's a money maker but its dirty and you have to bend over to pick up the mess. They may have better scoopers though but i am sure you could do a Google search on it. Or check this out, people will pay you to deliver pet food also, you can even throw in some toys or catnip also. I did this also a few years ago. I can tell you, people will pay also for this. Except I had it shipped to their home. Look at this on Google also, there are pet delivery food services. Some people don't like lugging those big bags of dog food around. Ever seen a senior struggle to get a big bag of DOg chow into their cart, onto the scanner, back in the cart then into the car?
Heed the warnings of this board!!!!! There are a lot of good people here looking out for you and your wallet. Remember that there are predators out there who will make their opportunities sound good because they want your money. Don't be gullible and believe the hype.
Good Luck, the BD

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
