Letter Writing for Profit
James J Jones -- Publisher
An Ohio woman earns a part-time income writing long personal
letters to prisoners, shut-ins and service people. Her
clients: families and friends of the individuals who explain
the likes and dislikes of the people she writes to, and she
corresponds with them along these lines. She advertises her
services in nation tabloids and charges a few dollars per
letter.
Several small concerns in the US and Canada do fairly well
by drafting custom letters. Among their requests are love
and hate letters, eviction notices, prank letters, "Dear
John" letters, termination notices, even notifications of
damage done to a friend or neighbor's property. In short,
they specialize in writing letters that their clients for
one reason or another, would rather not write themselves.
They also make phone calls for the same reasons.
Custom letters such as these can fetch from $10.00 to $50.00
depending on the subject matter, research and risk involved.
The best clients are office workers, executives, salesmen,
professionals and secretaries, people who know the value of
a well-turned phrase. If you're handy with a word and would
like to try this, you may have to advertise heavily and
provide a bit of complimentary service until you become
established, as this is a most unusual and little known
service.
Nasty Greeting Cards
Two Indianapolis women started a business that publishes
what they call "nasty greeting cards." When I say "nasty"
I don't mean pornographic but rather caustic. For example
one of them reads:
Front of Card:
"Excuse me boss, for taking time out of your busy day but
since you are the leader around here I think there is something
you should know."
Inside card:
"You couldn't lead a pack of starving wolves to fresh meat."
(the card has a picture of a pack of starving wolves)
Emergency Cash Blog
I started a Blog to demonstrate some of the techniques detailed in my Emergency Cash Generators manual. Take a look and let me know what you think

Quotable...
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens
underneath.
(Michael Caine)
Quick Business Idea: Time and Weather Station
Begin a crafts business which incorporates a barometer, digital clock, calendar
and thermometer into a single framed picture. For example, these might be a
picture of an aircraft cockpit or cityscape and set among the dials or skyscraper
is the barometer, clock, etc.
