Not sure if this is the right place to post. Mods feel free to move if necessary.

I am self employed and make around $1200 a week working 10-15 hours a week. It is very easy work, requires no skill, needs very little start up ($500 is enough) and there is zero risk. Anyone can do this and the amount of money you can make depends on the size of your town. My town is approx 200k. Lower population = less money and a higher population = more money.

I want ideas on how to charge people to teach them how to do this in their area (teaching honestly takes less than an hour, and they can start instantly). I don't want to write an ebook bc I think it looks really scammy. Anyone have any other ideas on how to do this?

edit: I worded the title insanely stupid

Advertise your "teaching" ldo. Craiglist and moneymaking forums comes to mind.

I've thought about craigslist but I am trying to figure out something a little more legit. "Give me money and ill show you how to make 50k a year with little effort" sounds like every scam out there haha.

Why cant you expand to other towns yourself? Why cant you work 30 hours a week and double up your profits?

Hire other people for $8 an hour in other towns through the hundreds of freelance sites out there. Have them sign a non-disclosure and profit!

Why are you not thinking bigger?

I would love to but the nearest market with a decent size town is 200 miles away and simply isn't profitable to do myself. I would absolutely LOVE to pay someone to do it in other towns but there are some down sides;

1. It would require a lot of trust in the person bc the business has to do with cash only transactions several times a day. It would be impossible for me to know if I'm being cheated or not. It's like staking someone in live poker in a game you wouldn't be at. The only thing stopping them from saying they won $500 when they really won $1000 is trust.

2. It is ideal for someone that doesn't have a set schedule. I work 1-2 hours a day but they're in small 20-30 min blocks and I can't schedule most of them. Someone with another job could still profit doing this, but it wouldn't be as much as if you were free all the time.

I recommend a power socket and a international adapter and converter kit.

1. You do realize lots and lots and lots of businesses in America trust people with cash they can not track (even in live poker cash games imagine that). Pro hint: There are lots of ways to track money.

2. So you only work 10 hours a week but need to be on call at all types of random hours of the day every day of the week. I would re-check what working hours mean.

3. See my original post for further wisdom.

"So does what your proposing."

This means most people will think ur scamming and it is very unlikely to alter unless you change your thought process and business sense.

Never get high on your own supply.

How could I track the cash accurately?

Yes I work 10 hours or so per week. The "on call" isn't like it sounds. I wouldn't be hurting my reputation or anything if I didn't take a job. Its hard to explain without saying what I do. For example, If I go to a movie, if a job pops up I simply won't respond.

And I agree that what I'm saying sounds like a scam. I am trying to figure out how to get other people doing this without giving the information away for free or sounding like a scam.

If everyone else starts doing it then will it fail to work anymore?

There is a market cap on it in each market for sure. I would not tell anyone in my area what it is bc the more the competition the worse it is. However the people that work the hardest can make the most money (and by working hard I simply mean being more prompt than the next guy).

Also the market cap doesn't have to do with just 1 person. In my town of 200k I know 12 different individuals that do it (and some of them make more than me), as well as quite a few businesses. Its not propriety it is just a niche that I have tested in several markets and there is a ton of money to be made.

I don't see how this could possibly not sound like a scam, at least not until you give us a general idea of what type of product you sell or service you provide.

Also, whenever anyone says that their business is "100% legal" that should be a huge red flag scam alert.

The same is true when the phrase "zero risk" appears.

OP, if a dozen other folks in your town alone already do this as well as multiple businesses, why are you so concerned about letting the cat out of the bag on the BFI forum?

Compare the long term value of getting good advice from this forum against the possibility that one person here (who would need to live in your town) decides to become your 13th individual competitor.

Offer to teach a 2+2er your "secret" and in exchange have them create a journal documenting the learning process. This can then be sold as an e-book, (giving a little more credibility since it is from a non-biased 3rd party) or the person can post a review of the service here without divulging important aspects of the secret.

I volunteer myself to be that 2+2er

It's buying and selling a product. A product that every single person uses every single day and both the supply and demand are high but a high % of the people selling are not selling close enough to retail
