#18 - Ad Writing

Have you been on Craigslist latley and saw poor ad titles that just don't want to make you click on them? Most people are just putting something up quickly so they can hurry up and sell their item or service. An ad title, and the content will have a major effect on how many people will look at your ad. Pictures are also a big plus, as I know when I search Craigslist for something, if it doesn't have a picture, I don't click on it! 

Maybe its time you contacted a few of these sellers or business's, and offered them your service of re-writing their ads for a small fee. Tell them they can expect to see results, get more emails or phone calls, and more business. Every little penny counts, you could charge them whatever fee you wish, but a reasonable fee would be around ten bucks I think, depending on what they are selling or advertising. The price can go up or down, really depends on the product. You can also do this on Ebay as well. Give this one a try, then leave a comment and tell me how its going. I would really like to hear if anyone is trying any of these business ideas. Its going to be a long way to 1000, so if you have any ideas or want to write an article, be sure to contact me.

#5 - Start a Wake-Up Call Service

You think someone would pay you money to wake them up every morning, or whatever time they might need to wake up? What do you mean their alarm clock will wake them up? Alot of people usually just hit the snooze button on their alarm clock, or even turn the thing off and throw it across the room so they can get back to sleep and finish that dream before heading to work. Those 5 minutes that you thought you slept suddenly turned into 60 minutes when you look at the clock.

The benefits of a wake up call:

1. You get called at the time you need to be up. If you fail to answer the phone, that company can keep calling and calling until you are dressed and on your way to work.
2. Your guaranteed to be called the same time everyday so you won't be late.
3. You won't sleep in because its awkward at first having someone call you to wake you up.
4. Most phone rings will wake you up before an alarm clock..even though they are both annoying.

Where to advertise you may ask? You can advertise in the:

1. Phone book
2. Classifieds
3. Newspapers
4. Fliers
5. Business Cards
6. Craigslist

So just try it and see what happens! Have fun with it, and share your experiences here!
