If you are experienced in insurance and advertising sales, I have an opportunity that should be a piece of cake. If you can establish relationships with local professionals with an opportunity to partner with a company that can provide them with additional revenues AND customer services without costing them anything out of pocket (no cost to them)then you can become a Business Solutions Specialist with our company (its a contract position so it will not cost you anything at all as well)

If interested, forward your resume to me at ajones@abcsolutions.cjb.net

In addition to selling the kid's clothing (after they have outgrown them of course), look for other items in your market that are in demand on eBay. A lot of times there will be unappreciated items in your area that the national and worldwide market may pay dearly for. It need not be expensive to you, if you can find something that doesn't sell well in your area.

Secondly, with your experience in business and advertising, you should definitely investigate the $20 Billion US market of Promotional Advertising. I've been selling promos for nearly 25 years, and my business income has been our family's sold income for over two decades now. I started selling part-time in the beginning, but made the transition to full-time in '87.

Insurance, health care, credit unions, car dealers and automotive aftermarket, hospitality (restaurants, hotels, tourist related business, etc.), retail, wholesale, business-to-business, advertising/marketing, manufacturing, industrial, recreation, and many other businesses depend on promos with their logo to achieve various business goals. And, they are going to buy from someone online or in your market - why not be their source.

This is one of the greatest industries for repeat business, and I've got a great base of customers who have been doing business with me for 15 to 24 years.

No dealer fees.

No inventory

No show room or office needed outside your home

No territory or restricted accounts to limit who or where you sell, at least within the US borders

No sales people in the home office to compete with you for customers

No ceiling on the income you can earn - The more you sell, the more you earn

Extremely low start-up costs - $85 deposit (optional) to receive the 50-lb. box of supplier catalogs, dealer opportunity and training materials, lots of samples, including ink pens, coffee and travel mugs, calendars, caps, t-shirts, Post-It(R) notes, and more

Over 4000 suppliers offering 800K+ items, waiting to have your customer's name/logo/message added

No cost to examine the detailed opportunity plan

Be your own boss, setting your own hours, priorities, and choosing your target markets, online and off, working full or part-time.

Take those contacts you already have and turn them into income!!!

Oh boy-- I feel like apologizing for all of the self serving posts!!! But mine will be just as self serving...so...

Let me say this-- all of these posts that people put up-- I would check each one of them out individually and see if they are a fit for you. In general if you have to pay out money up front then don't do it.

The issue with selling the childrens clothes is that you have a very limited inventory. I will say this-- one of the most successful small businesses in a small town I have ever seen was a children's clothes re-sell shop. She would buy the clothes out right (no consignment). She would go through bags, offer a price and re-sell the clothes. She made VERY good money doing it... and she took her three kids with her to the shop! I am guessing, including starting inventory (which you could also find at garage sales), fixtures, rent, etc that you could start the shop with about $5,000.

What about starting a local online newspaper? You could sell your own advertising (do not use google adsense), blah blah blah-- I bet you could make $1000 a month doing it and have a ton of fun...

I have several other (much more profitable than the online newspaper) ideas for online businesses-- they just depend on your family, availability, personality, and beliefs, etc.

Also, the self serving part- We have an online software company... we are developing software for several specific industries...right now we have things for general businesses (a way for them to send text messages to their clients, send out full html emails, we provide webstites, etc). We would love for you work with us finding new clients. We can discuss it in detail and I will never ask you to work for free. Send me a private message or email-- berry@flippij.net

Thanks,
Berry
