How You Can Make a Few Hundred-Thousands of Dollars With a Hammer, Nails, and Some Motivation

4 replies
This isn't exactly "offline marketing" but it is an offline way to make money.

I recently started a thread in here about a former co-worker of mine who told me what his Son-In-Law did for a living.

He also told me what a good buddy and his son did for a living. The guy only "worked" a few hours a week and yet made $5000-$6000 per month.

He would go to businesses that would get large type of deliveries, you know stuff that came in on a loading dock by tractor and trailer. He would ask them if they had any pallets, including broken ones that he could have.

Most of these businesses were more than happy to give them to him because they actually had to pay for them to be removed.

He would get both good pallets and broken ones. If there were broken ones and they could be repaired, he fixed them.

He would then find other businesses that shipped items out on pallets. He would then sell them his pallets. He could sell the pallets to them for a fraction of the cost that new ones would cost the business.

He actually had a problem keeping up with the demand for the pallets. He only worked this business 10-15 hours per week. However, he didn't want to work any more than that. If he worked it full time, he could have probably been making six figures.

Use it, adapt it, twist it.

    Most big businesses already have a pallet service that removes them and repairs them.

    Smaller businesses that get random deliveries on pallets might not.

    Also didn't Don (or someone else) post this exact method almost word for word? I remember this being posted before.

      I have no idea, I stopped posting/reading here for over a year. I only recently started reading this section. So, if someone posted it, sorry for the repost. However, as I said, this is something my co-worker told me his buddy did for money.

      I never heard of those types of businesses other than when my coworker told me about, not doubting it. Just saying where I lived at this time and where this was done was in city of over 100,000 people and that was just in the city, doesn't include the surrounding areas. Plenty of business around.

        Just goes to show that there aren't many new ideas, just new adaptations. Martin didn't originate this idea. Heck, I bought a list of business ideas on a cd-rom on eBay back in the day that predated Martin's posts and that had the plans he posts. Painting numbers on curbs, installing peepholes in doors, fixing pallets, etc. all are really old ideas that have been around forever. Not bad to share them though. You never know when it might be seen by the right person at the right time, and it may spark them to action or idea.
