"Quick Cash" - $360 A Day Taking Pictures

I just had lunch with a guy who wanted to show me the results of his last 2 weeks "venture". Whala! Success!

A few wks ago, he phoned and asked me if I could help him earn some money. He said he had been selling cars until they closed down and that he knew a "little" about the internet.

So....I told him to come on over. I found that he had a Digital Camera and enjoyed taking pictures. So....I decided to show him how to make some "quick Bux" with his camera.

Here's what I told him;
Almost EVERY restaurant spends lots of money on their INTERIORS... however....no one SEES their interiors until they're INSIDE the restaurant. So...I came up with a way to "Show Interiors to people OUTSIDE the restaurants....by making a Video which could be seen on their website and other Video sites.

When I started this biz....a couple of years ago, I asked a restaurant owner I knew, if I could "take a few pictures" of his place and make a Video at NO obligation. He agreed, so I snapped some shots....went home and used PhotoStory3 to make a Video....then burned it to a DVD. I then remembered that Wally World had a Portable DVD Player (Phillips - $80)

So...armed with my Sample DVD and the Portable DVD Player...I went into a restaurant....plopped the Player down on a table and showed the owner my Sample DVD. Then told him I'd like to make up a similar DVD for HIS restaurant....that he could put on his website, etc....at NO obligation.

He said, "Go Ahead!" I then snapped about 10 shots, went home & made a Video with PS3....burned it to a DVD and went back to show him.

He LOVED IT! I then told him I usually charge $495 for the DVD and to upload it to 27 Video Sites (Tube-Mogul)....however...I'd only charge him $360...if he decided....NOW!

He agreed and wrote me a check for $360. I then proceeded to make a bunch of videos for other restaurants and OTHER types of businesses.

I took my friend to a restaurant that had recently opened....went in.... showed the owner my Sample DVD....asked if I could take some shots and told him I'd make up a Video for him....at NO Obligation.

He said, "Go Ahead! Let's see what you come up with!"

Whammo...Bammo....took some shots...went home and made a Video with PS3....burned it to a DVD...went back and plopped the Player down on the end of the bar where he was sitting...let it run and BANGO, BONGO...he LOVED IT.

$360

So...I loaned my guy my Portable DVD Player...showed him how to make the Videos with PS3 (or Movie-Maker) and burn them...and....let him go On His Own.

So...he "bombed" the first couple of times BUT....started to get "the hand of it" so that now...anytime he wants...he "Barges Into" a restaurant (or other biz)(I was surprised how many different types of businesses he sold. He just finished coming from a Plumber...and last week he did a Roofer)

So....I thought I'd share this with you folks as an example of what can be done...starting with little money.
