About pjarro1935

I am a working dad raising two beautiful girls and supporting my lovely wife, I work a full-time job and make about $2400.00 a month. I know your probably saying that's a lot of money, but truthfully it's not when you're the only one working in the household. My wife takes care of our 3 year old because she cannot work right now due to health issues but we make ends meet and we don't have any problems paying the rent on a normal basis. Recently I had to purchase another vehicle because my old vehicle broke down due to transmisson issues and a bad powertrain if you guys know what that is. It cost me $2500 to fix just so I could trade it in for value. This has put us behind on rent which is causing me to did into other money and bypass other payment obligations we would normally pay on time. I am asking for assistance and or a blessing to see if someone could help me and my family this one time to get us beack on our feet. If possible any monetary donations will help, our rent is $785.00 plus the late fee pushes it to $877.00

Vouchers to my landlord and or you can pay my landlord personally are welcome so that you don't think that we are trying to just get money for personal reasons. I find it quite interesting that someone would ask for $200,000 dollars on this site, that's what i saw in one of the add on this site (ridiculous)

Make money with one phone call!!!

No money needed - I used to do this.

An idea that may help - an easy one also.  

Im sure that you have a free advertising business directory in your area. So here we go:  Go to the business directory and write down the mobile discos in your area and act as an agent.  Dont know how - ok ... keep reading.

Telephone each DJ and tell me that you can bring work there way but require a small fee of £10 (Approx $18)commission.  Im from the UK and the mobile djs I had were charging £120 (approx $200)  We agreed a £10 comission for me out of the £120 = £110 for the DJ & £10 for me.

 All I did to get work for the DJs is advertise in the same business directories which were free to advertise by posing as a mobile disco.  A person would call me and ask if they could hire a mobile disco.  I would tell the person/customer that I has x amount of DJs working for me and we would be happy to do it for £120 in which the customer agrees.  I then take the name, tel no and address from the customer and tel then just to pay on the night of the party/disco.

 

I then ring the trusted DJ and give them the details and the DJ rings them immediately and introduces himself to the customer.(This is very important so the customers has a sense of security speaking to the DJ before hand)  Once the disco has been done I invoice the DJ for my comission and the DJ pays.  

What happens if the DJ doesnt pay?

Its simple - Dont use him again! The DJ will miss out on more money than you will.  Would the DJ really risk missing a repetative £110 for the sake of keeping just £10   ... dont think so! If so he loses and you get a more reliable DJ.

 

Remember ... it doesnt have to be discos - do you have knowledge of any other work and can possibly charge a commission this way???    Best of luck
