In the past, whenever I've run the following ad under "Help Wanted", I've been swamped with response.
"Home Typist wanted. Must be able to type 60wpm. Call 555-5555 and leave your name & phone."
My phone rings off the hook AND...responses come in from that one classified ad...for weeks.
So...this has always shown me that there is a HUGE group of people who are available and who WANT to work from their homes...TYPING.
So...you can PROVIDE A "LISTING SERVICE" for these "Home Typists"! Help them get Home Typing jobs and make yourself some money at the same time.
Here's what I would do;
1) Get a domain name (godaddy.com for $8.95) Get a name that tells what you are doing (providing a Home Typist Listing Service) Something like "WeDoTyping.com"! That says WHAT you are doing.
2) Set up a website with Banner size spaces with a photo at the left side and info about the person (with contact info) to the right of the rectangular space. (I'd help you layout the site if I had time)
3) "Salt" the page. No one likes to be "first" so... put in some "ficticious" photos and descriptions to give potential Home Typist clients "an idea" of what their space will look like. You are not yet advertising for people who are in need of home typists.
4) Create an "Order Page" where you give the Benefits of having a space on the site for $49 for 90 days.
5) Place a classified ad in Sundays paper under Help Wanted..."Home Typists. Get more jobs by listing on our "Home Typist Web Site"...www.WeDoTyping.com"
Have a way to capture everyone who visits your site by putting in a "Guest Sign-In" page...before they see what the cost is to join. (see a sample at one of my web pages
http://www.pjbux.com/delifax)
Now...to make $1,000 with this all you need are 21 people to pay $49 to be listed on your site for 90 days.
Again...I don't have time to help you further with this but...this will give you the gist.
What of you got 100 people to pay you $49....1,000?
Worth a go.
