My biggest problem is focusing on one plan, so every few weeks I come up with something new, better or easier to do (I think it is so).
I think the problem lies in my previous mistakes and goofs, and that because of them I have a big fear of failure. As time passes, that fear is more and more pronounced.
And now the time has come when I have no more time (and money) and I decided to start with this:
Don't know how to call this biz model, but I think it's some kind of Joint Venture.
For this business I have all that I need and this business should feel the needs of many peoples. Idea comes to me from lots of regular people who work for salary.
Well, I don't have any product or service to sell them, so I thought why couldn't sell them things or services from other companies that have it.
Example:
I go to some new car dealer (let it be Ford) and ask them if they want marketing for their vehicles and pay me per action, when the vehicle is sold. If they agree, I tell them that all that they have to do is give me 10% discount.
Then goes to the unions of large companies and government agencies and offer them 5% discount on new vehicles for their employees. If they agree, I keep 5% of each vehicle that is sold to their employees.
1. Car dealer get better sales with no extra marketing costs
2. I get 5% for joining them together
3. Employees get 5% discount
For example, just Police Union have approximately 10.000 employees as their members, and every one of them will know that they have discount on new Ford vehicles. Not all of them are in union because they need to pay some small amount for membership. Union gets more members with this action and more credibility by their members. Ford gets exclusive contract and only ford is on discount list in this union. I think all of them will be happy.
Further more, I create web site for union members for free, where they can write reviews and create some kind of a "wish list" - where they can say where they want some discount or some service. Also this web site will be some kind of free advertising place for companies that have contract with me.
Numbers:
Average price of a new Ford - $16.000
My part (5%) - $800
1/mo. = $800
10/mo. = $8.000
100/mo. = $80.000
Business start: 01.10.2009. ....I'll post business progress here.
