    Need Business Idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi my name is Zack and I have started two companies one curb address painting and the other pressure washing, both were mildly successful but I felt I could do much better. My question is just to ask what low cost business ideas any one has that would bring in 200-1000 dollars a month.

    Thanks= Zack

    Is that mag any good?

    I'd like to get a subscription, though there's a massive extra cost to get it shipped over to Australia.

    find a team to brainstorm

    Hey hopkins

    My guess is that you want to create a quick and profitable small business asap. There is nothing wrong about that but your approach is a little weird.

    Instead of posting such a message on the forum board, why don't you try gathering a team of like-minded people who want to start a business and do some serious brainstorming. I believe the R.O.I is much higher for the time and effort that you will put in. This is my suggestion. THis is what I do and I do get much better results.

    low-cost business opp

    If you've heard of myspace (and how hasn't) and like/ love music (who doesn't listen music), then check out becoming one of my retailers with BurnLounge. I posted a business opportunity added on this site a couple of days ago. Check out my site: www.burnlounge.com/donina. Click of "watch the commercial". Do you think you can stand to make some money with friends and family and other contacts downloading music from your own BurnLounge site and then helping others set up similar? Get in!

    There's a lot. From cleaning a washroom to a full e-business solutions. Cleaning a house will generate $2,000.

    The real questions are, how bad you need it? Are you prepaid to give out anything to achieve it?

    Bestmiler and Slevin,

    To get my machines placed I first went to various restaurants looking for a good place to put them. I found very fast that most chains will not let you put your machine in their restaurant, they have contracts. When I found a place I simply called the manager and told them that I would like a couple minutes of their time to show them my vending machine. Then I would put it in my truck and drive it over to show them. I bought my machines off of ebay. I got very good deals on them. This restaurant that I have a machine at now takes 40% and I keep the other 60% I think this might be a little high for the store to take, but at the time I was getting ready to go back to school and wanted to get it placed

    vending machines are a great idea, i think.

    I can tell you that the great Warren Buffett (2nd richest man in the world) started off by putting his pinball coin machine in a favourite spot in a bar and splitting the earnings with the store owner.

    Way to go bmuttion. Perhaps you could take it a step further and advertise your machines online - you're definitely going to get enquiries.

    Hey bmutton,

    Is that a full sized vending machine you have? I've been thinking about doing some vending which is why I'm interested.
