Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie refuses the lure of local politics... and spots a £90,000-per-year opportunity in the bin collection crisis... and
dishes the DIRT on Tim Lowe'
Hi,
I'm not one to get into local politics.
If I did, I'd probably run for Hackney council dressed as a chicken in a German First World War helmet and call myself "Captain Cockrel".
Just to annoy everybody.
So you won't get me spouting forth on the proposed government policy of collecting bins twice a week, instead of once.
As you'll have heard, it's part of a master plan to encourage recycling and save the planet.
Well, here in city it will certainly save the rat.
But like I say, this isn't about politics...
This email is all about a little profit opportunity I can see for you as more councils switch to twice-weekly bin collection.
See, I know for a fact that a LOT of people are mightily miffed about this policy. Which is why I think...
********************************************
People will PAY to have their bins collected!
********************************************
There are 3 good reasons why people will offer hard cash for someone to get rid of their bins:
Firstly, people have good intentions when it comes to recycling. But a lot of people simply won't give a toss.
Fact of life.
Secondly, some families will be so big and busy that they will still need their rubbish collected as often as possible.
Fact of life.
Thirdly, the national outrage about this new bin collection regime is strong enough for people to resist it with every bone in their body.
Fact of modern Britain.
Okeydokey, so let's look at the big picture. As the months go by, we're going to have millions of people across the country who want their bins collected more often, but whose councils refuse to do so.
If that includes YOUR council, here's where you can set up a nice little earner...
********************************
Hire a truck and start making dosh
********************************
While munching into my Scoobie-Doo style sandwich the other day I saw something on the BBC that made me spit out my Branston.
It turns out that an ordinary couple, Chris and Kate Whyatt, have set up their own rubbish collection company in North Yorkshire.
Impressive, right? They've spotted the opportunity fast.
And they've gone for it.
They simply collect the rubbish in their own truck and dump it (perfectly legally) at Yorkwaste's Tancred site in Brompton-on-Swale.
They said that 75 households are paying £90-a-year for the "Bin and Gone" service.
And this has only been going less than a WEEK!
Think about what would happen if they got contracts for 1000 private households in North Yorkshire. Which seems feasible to me.
That's £90,000 turnover.
Okay, so you've got to hire a truck (or pay for an old
one) and you've got to collect rubbish.
But this is a wide open market and yours for the taking if you get in FAST.
And think about it, you're your own boss. You can do it from home. And it's a business that could expand, or earn you money to plough into other less smelly projects.
Let's just say, (sorry about this) you could clean up.
Ouch.
I'm bad.
Anyway, it's just an idea, and I'll leave it to you to have a look into it. Perhaps I'll see if I can dig some more - er - dirt on this opportunity. Maybe there's a blueprint in it?
Or maybe I'm going to be attacked in the street by an angry local governmental chicken.
Left wing, of course.
(Really, really sorry).

Answering your questions on Tim Lowe
**********************************
I was browsing through my forum again today and I saw this email:
"I would be grateful for any views on the biz opp offered by Tim Lowe. He takes small ads in the business sections of certain Sunday papers. His spiel is quite impressive, but it all seems too easy. Anybody out there using Tim Lowe's method?"
Well, nobody's answered you yet, but I can...
I'll start by saying that nothing is EVER as easy as it says in the sales promotion. They are adverts, so naturally the seller wants you to give a product a try, rather than be put off by it being a bit of hard work.
Again, fact of life. If YOU had a product to sell, you'd be mad not to do the same.
But Tim is the real deal, and knows his stuff. He offers a sound 30-day no quibble guarantee. So you won't risk anything by checking him out for yourself here:

What Tim does is show you how to set up successful ads and exactly where to put them (magazines, websites etc).
You have to have a good product, of course, which Tim doesn't go into. But then, why should he? You come up with the idea, and HE will show you the winning advertising formula to make it pay.
Because the biggest mistake many people make is thinking that ANYONE can write a classified ad without knowing the basic rules.
I mean, it's hardly Saatchi & Saatchi style advertising is it?
Well, wrong.
I've placed classified ads that have bombed like a B52, and I couldn't see why... 'til I learned the basic techniques.
The good news is Tim offers shed loads of online resources to help you along. He also shows you how to create a money-pulling website. All this included in the very reasonable £69.95 package price.
In short, this is a powerful resource if you've already got good ideas and products to sell.
I'm actually helping a home publishing company put a classified ad together at the moment - so it does work.
Hope that answers your question. You can check out what he has to say for himself here:
