FREE BUSINESS IDEAS FOR ALL
IDEA: CREATE A BUMPER STICKER DESIGN AND SELLING THE PRODUCT
EXAMPLES: YOU CAN USE ANY THEME YOU CAN IMAGINE
INITIAL INVESTMENT: LESS THAN $100 DOLLARS FORTHE PURCHASE OF A FEW SAMPLE STICKERS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, COFFEESHOPS, BARS, BOOKSTORES IN YOUR AREA, ETC. YOU CAN BUY YOUR STICKERS FOR LESS THAN $1 A PIECE AND SELL THEM FOR AS MUCH AS $3 OR MORE. YOU CAN ALSO BUY THE PRINTER AND THE EQUIPMENT AND MAKE THEM AT HOME.
ADVERTISEMENT: INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS OR URL ON THE BUMPER STICKER, CREATE A FREE WEBSITE FOR YOUR STICKER USING FREE WEBSITE HOSTS www.thefreesite.comSTART WITH FREE LISTINGS (CRAIGSLIST, FOR EXAMPLE) TO PROMOTE YOUR STICKERS. TRY SELLING THE ITEM ON EBAY AND CREATE A LINK OR MENTION TO YOUR STORE - THIS IS CHEAP AND YOU CAN REACH A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THE BEST OPTION, HOWEVER, MAY BE TO DISTRIBUTE THE STICKERS WHERE THE BEST AUDIENCE IS PRESENT - LEAVE A STASH OF THEM FOR THE TAKING, PLACE THEM IN YOUR CAR, NOTEBOOKS, T-SHIRTS, WHEREVER YOU CAN MAKE THEM VISIBLE.
CRITICAL ELEMENTS: CREATE AN INTERESTING CONCEPT: FOR EXAMPLE, POLITICAL COMMENTARY IN POLITICAL SEASON WORKS WELL. INTERESTING SELLS, BORING DOESN'T. CONTACTS AND WORD-OF-MOUTH CAN GET YOU STARTED. JUST ABOUT EVERYONE DRIVES A CAR OR RIDES A BIKE - DON'T BE SHY: TRY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS - GET FREE PUBLICITY FROM THEM.
TIME INVESTED: TIME TO DESIGN THE STICKER PLUS A FEW MORE HOURS OF DISTRIBUTION.
SUGGESTED SEARCHES: BUMPER STICKERS, GRAPHICS, DECAL, ETC; TRY CHECKING WHAT IS AVAILABLE AT 'NORTHERN SUN' (A MAKER AND RESELLER OR BUMPER STICKERS, ETC) OR 'CAFE PRESS' (WHERE A LOT OF STUFF LIKE THAT SELLS). 'MAKESTICKERS' IS THE WEB NAME OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES CUSTOM STICKERS, FOR EXAMPLE.
