Well, if I may give a plug here:
One option you have is becoming a distributor of a specific product. Using my company, as an example, you can distribute "Free Vacation" certificates and $500 Casino vouchers to businesses to give away as promotional items. We provide you with your own website, a referral ID, and access to our referral program. You will get to buy the certificates at a very discounted price, then find businesses or fund-raisers (schools, churches, civic groups) that can utilize the certificates. Sell to them at a higher price, and you have just made a profit.
Now that you know that this works and is legit- you can post on here or on any other forum that you are hiring a marketing/sales person, for $100 a week. Their job would entail finding customers, cold-calling, and visiting businesses in person. You make commission off of ever sale, and they are happily making $100 a week (as long as they meet quota, of course).
You have just reached our Tier-3 level of distributors, and get the certificates for next to nothing. You hire 6 more sales associates, and 1 sales manager. You form an LLC, titled King Promotions, LLC, and have each one of them listed as an independant contractor (keeping you free from liability, and from having to provide W-4's, 2's and all that). You pay the sales people $150 a month for 5-10 hours of work, with a bonus every week if they meet quota (around 1000 certificates).
You buy the certificates at $0.75 each, and sell them for $10 each to large corporations, and $5 each to small businesses. You have a total of 7000 sales during your first two months of business, with 4000 of them being to large corporations. This means $55,000 of gross revenue, all within 2 months, with an initial investment of approx. $500. You have 8 employees (or independant contractors), and all of them are happy to be working for you.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, ONLY AN EXAMPLE, but is valid nonetheless.
Pretty Much what I'm trying to say is that $600 a month is plenty of money to use as an investment- not just for traditional venues, but also as seed money for yours or others' businesses. See how it works?
