Subscription Coffee

We’ve covered coffee-by-post style services before, but this is different. Israel based Cups Tel Aviv gives members unlimited coffee at participating venues in return for a monthly subscription.

Around 40 coffee shops and cafe’s have enrolled on the scheme. Members can pay a monthly subscription and then have as many coffees as they like at any of the participating venues. Members are updated on new venues and offers via a related app.

The price structure is such that it offers great value for members. They’re effectively in front after about a dozen cups of coffee. But the venues benefit too. They get a share of the revenue, plus knock-on benefits through the sale of sandwiches and cakes to people who may not have visited them otherwise.

This is a fascinating business model and one that could form the basis of a number of profitable businesses in different locations. It seems to me you could do something like this in any town or city in the UK. And why stop at coffee? What other products might lend themselves to this subscription based approach?

Dating Deal Of The Day 

We’ve covered quite a range of dating related concepts over the years, and here’s another interesting one which cashes in on people’s desire to get hold of something in short supply, or only available for a limited period.

EDealduJour, features a different single man each day, giving woman a limited time to respond. The mans photograph, profile and video information are posted up on the site for 24 hours and there’s a timer indicating how long is left in the corner of the screen.

At the moment the service is free for both men and woman, with a charge being made for access to archived and upcoming profiles. I can see this generating an enormous amount of traffic, which could easily be turned into lucrative advertising revenue.

Could this be copied here in the UK, and even adapted to have a woman as the bait? (I’m going to ask for my money back on those political correctness lessons!) I’m sure it could. In fact I’m quite tempted myself!

Dear Streetwise Customer,

And Then Over The Next Few Years It Brings In Over £5 Million. 

Pure fantasy? 

Not at all. I’ve done it. I’ll even show you the letter. And I’ve written lots of others just like it, although they weren’t all quite as successful as that one.  

But Even So, Many Of Them Landed Thousands Of Pounds In My Bank Account Within Days, and Hundreds of Thousands Within Weeks. 

Like to learn how to do the same?

Well there has really Never Been A Better Time for three reasons… 

1. These letters bring in serious money when times are tough – and they don’t come much tougher than they are right now.

2. These letters are even more powerful when the world is relying on the internet for its requirements, just like it is right now.

3. You probably have some free time available to learn how to do this at the moment.

Allow me to show you, for more details CLICK HERE

This is an exciting and realistic alternative to the gloom which is all around us today – an escape route. It’s an alternative that can quickly see you banking more than enough money to see yourself and your family right through this current crisis and then into uncharted financial success when all this is over.

When To Be Greedy

Warren Buffett is a man who knows a thing or two about making money. The American investor is widely accepted to be one of the richest (if not THE richest) men in the world with a personal fortune of around $60 billion.

And it’s all come from making sound investment decisions. So when he talks, you’d be stupid not to listen, and it would be strange if you didn’t hear something useful. Here’s what he recently had to say about the psychology of investment:

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”

I think the point he was making was that when greed takes over, reason and solid principles fly out of the window. The end result is that prices no longer reflect underlying values. It’s not a time to buy.

But when there’s a downturn and fear takes over, the reverse happens. Panic sets in and there’s an over-compensation in the downward movement of prices, thereby creating the opposite relationship between value and prices and an opportunity.

He was probably talking about stock market investment, but I got to thinking about what he said in relation to the property market ~ something I know a bit more about.

Isn’t it strange that investors flood into the market when prices are rising (in other words, a sellers market) but flood right out again when they go down again (a buyers’ market). It makes no logical sense, and can only be explained in terms of the ‘sheep’ mentality which is the prevailing mind set.

The typical investor is motivated by greed when the market is rising (it looks so easy) and fear when it starts to fall (it’s not easy any more…where will it all end?)

Savvy property investors know the truth of what Buffett says and are acting on it right now. If anything, they cut back on their acquisitions in the latter part of the property boom, fearing that they might be paying too much in a market boosted by the greedy sheep.

But once the tide turned – and the sheep had become fearful – their greed glands went into full production. The savvy know that some of the fearful sheep will panic (and with good reason if they overstretched themselves during their greedy period) and will over-compensate, by offloading their property at a give-away price.

Savvy investors continue to do what they’ve always done ~ the opposite of the crowd. And why would you do anything else? Run with the crowd and you get what the crowd gets: the average, the mundane, the ordinary. Run against the crowd though, and you get completely the opposite…

And extraordinary beats ordinary every time. Just ask Mr Buffett.

Kind Regards

Zombie Preparedness

I suspect like most sane people, you’re not overly concerned by the possibility of an attack by zombies, but that doesn’t mean Omaha based advertising agency Bozell, haven’t had a good idea.

They’ve created a campaign for a local hardware chain focussing on the power tools, cleaners and door locks you’re going to need both during a zombie attack and in the aftermath. Zombie Preparedness was added to the list of store categories on the website alongside the more traditional fastners, power tools and paints.

I’m not sure many people are going to buy products for their zombie defeating qualities, but this kind of thing certainly get bags of free publicity and attention.

If you’re just using straight forward advertising and promotions, perhaps it’s time to start thinking outside the box. Doing something wacky like this could certainly pay big dividends.

Backyard Farmers 

I like the idea of having a nice garden, and I like the idea of growing my own vegetables, but when it comes down to it I never get round to doing anything about it. It’s people like me… and perhaps the cash rich/time-and-space-poor population often found in major cities that Backyard Farmers is aimed at.

The company provide customers with a turnkey organic vegetable garden without the need to pick up a spade or get their hands dirty. Gardens cost around $2,000 (this is a US idea) and comprise raised soil beds, enhanced with micro nutrients and locally grown plants. The garden comes housed in a nice cedar frame and is watered via an in-built irrigation system.

I doubt that this makes sound economic sense for the customer, but for the kind of people who would buy into this, that’s not really the point.

Would this work here in the UK? Not everywhere obviously, but I can see a market for it in the more affluent towns and suburbs. Yes, economic times are tough, but there are still plenty of people with money to spend on things that take their fancy.

Making Every Scene A ‘Take’

A few years ago, I spent a few days in London and Birmingham on the set of the new film ‘Clubbed’. If you look at the movie website and the film poster, it says that I am Executive Producer – which is considerably less glamorous than it sounds – but I learned a lot from the whole experience. And it was great fun to be involved.

Anyway, one of the days on set was as a supporting actor (an ‘extra’, to you and me) and I spent much of the day doing the same thing over and over.

Needless to say, I didn’t have much of an idea what I was supposed to be doing. I couldn’t work out whether we were rehearsing or filming, and so I asked Colin Salmon, the actor who was in the scene with me. His reply contained an important message with wider implications I think:

“I don’t know,” he said. “I never concern myself with it…I just do it every time as if it’s a take. You never know what they’re going to use.”

Can you say you live your life like that – giving it 100% in every ‘scene?’ Or do you sometimes allow your game to slip when you think it’s not important…when nobody’s looking…or when you think the audience isn’t worthy of your very best effort? I know I’ve been guilty of that in the past.

Well I reckon what’s true on a film set, is true in life. You never really know when the important cameras are rolling ~ when you’re in a potentially life-enhancing situation, or in the company of people who have more to offer you than you could ever imagine. It’s only with the benefit of hindsight ~ when you see the film being played back ~ that you realise you missed a massive opportunity by assuming it didn’t matter, when it clearly did.

The only solution is to do what Colin Salmon does – start out with the assumption that every situation, every meeting, every interaction is a ‘take’~ the one that’s going to be used and may have a lasting impact on your future. Give it 100% every time.

When you do, there are massive benefits not just for you, but for everyone you come into contact with.

Kind Regards

“Here’s One Way To Make The Best Of This Crisis-

And Make A Healthy Ongoing Profit Into The Bargain!”

Dear Streetwise Customer,

If you’re anything like me, you’re totally sick of hearing about Covid-19. 

And yet even if you’re not directly affected, it’s impacting on all our lives…And apart from a few people in the ‘right business’ it’s costing everyone money.  

And yet there is a possible silver lining to this very ugly cloud.

What this current crisis has given a lot of us, is time…

Time to think, time to prepare and time to implement money making strategies which are totally immune to the mayhem going on.

Are you free during the evening between about 6.00pm and 9.00pm…’Soap Opera Alley’ when the TV is full of rubbish you don’t want to watch and you can’t really escape to the pub anymore?

Well if you are, I’d like to introduce you to a way to make £100-£200 an evening at home from your computer screen which  anyone can learn fast – all while the masses are  overdosing on Weatherfield and Walford doom and gloom.

 As if we don’t have enough of that at the moment!

Let me just repeat, this method is immune to the financial mayhem we’re all currently experiencing. Not just immune…it actually thrives on it.

For full details, take a look HERE

This could be exactly what you need to fill both your time and your bank account in this very challenging period.

There’s no reason why you can’t come out of all this financially stronger than you went in, and have a money making strategy you can use for life.

Hangover Heaven

If you find yourself in Las Vegas having drunk more than is good for you, chances are that you will welcome the services of Hangover Heaven. It’s a company that provides a hangover cure on wheels.

The company’s bus cruises up and down the strip and stops off in the tour pick up areas of the major hotels. Once on board, a small IV is placed in the patients arm and apparently you’re cured (and ready to start again presumably) within 45 minutes. The only additional pain is the $150 fee.

I don’t know whether this works or not, but I’m sure like me, you’ve had hangovers you’d happily have paid $150 to get rid of. Neither do I know about the legal issues surrounding this whole service or whether it could be imported to the UK.

But what I do know is this-there would be no shortage of demand in many towns and cities up and down the country if it could be done safely, legally and ethically.

Alarming Profits

If you think you’re too young or inexperienced to make serious money from your entrepreneurial efforts, then you’ll take heart from the story of 13 year old Laurence Rook from Whyteleafe Surrey.

Rook came up with the idea of a doorbell that dupes burglars into thinking you’re at home by calling your mobile phone when pressed, and then allowing you to talk to them through an intercom. Apparently, most burglars try the doorbell as a test to see if the coast is clear, before a break in.

Anyway, Lawrence’s parents passed his plans to a family friend with experience in the field of product development, and she sent them on to China. Less than a year later, the product which sells for £40, is on the market and 20,000 units have already been sold to a distributor. Another deal is in the pipeline which will net the inventor a quarter of a million pounds!

Why did he succeed so young? Probably because he hasn’t had the chance for people to tell him he can’t do it yet. It’s amazing what you can do (at any age) if you don’t know it’s impossible yet!
