Do you mind if I use this as an accountability thread and check back in? I can see how there'd be a lot of seniors who need car rides and assistance to shop, or go to drs. appointments; and they couldn't get that extra assistance from phoning a taxi or a seniors bus service. There wouldn't be a startup fee. I'd get them to sign a waver before entering my service, in case of a car accident etc. I think the special diet service I mentioned is too much for me to take on right now. I have to be practical and start with baby steps. I can understand how putting a lot of money down isn't a good idea but some of these ideas don't have money down. Just some advertising flyers in the right locations. Where do you recommend me advertising for the seniors driving assistance? maybe seniors lodges, seniors activity centers, hospitals? Thanks again for your motivation. |

Typical White Person User ID: 701115 United States 06/22/2009 03:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have also made about $1000 over the past year and a half by doing stuff online. I have joined several websites where you take surveys, do trial offers, or fill out forms for a few cents up to a couple of bucks per pop. Usually these websites will have a set amount to make each month, like $10 or $20 and then they send you out a check. As long as you make the minimum amount per month you get a check each month. However, I am a member of a couple of them that have no minimum payout and you can get paid daily via Paypal. If anyone is interested let me know and I can post my referral link. That way if you sign up and complete surveys, etc. I get little bonuses added to my account. I have used this money to buy 2 guns and still have a little chunk saved back to add to as I make more. |
