Instead of an icecream truck


 Instead of an icecream truck
By Web Search - 08-13-2012, 02:46 PM - Boxden > The Money Spot (finance/careers)


How about a cigarette pack truck that goes around through hoods, selling packs of cigarettes? I think it would work, but I also think the man wouldn't allow me that kind of a business operation. > Instead of an icecream truck - Photo posted in The Money Spot (finance/careers) | Sign in and leave a comment below!

I think you'd get robbed on your first day. All the best!

I always thought a party store on wheels was a good idea. Park next to office parks and such...

Sounds like a hard thing to get est@blished. Not everyone smokes and for you to benefit the most from it I think you would have to sell people single cigarettes. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people flip out cause they don't have a cigarette and not in the position to go buy another pack. If they saw your cancer van and managed to find 50 cents I think it would be a good hustle if you sold single cigarettes.

Honestly is there anyway for ice cream trucks to accept EBT? I've never seen one that had a sign advertising that it accepts EBT. If you could be the first one [pic]

Just start a grocery delivering service.

Senior citizens who need supplies, doesn't only have to be groceries, could be to fill up their gas tank for them, make a pharmacy run for them, etc, etc. They call your service and you go and get whatever they need for them and charge them for Gas, Supplies, and the delivery charge.

The demand is definitely there, and as far as I know, their is nobody supplying this service. There's a k!lling to be made there, I'm just to lazy to do it [pic]

It's especially profitable if you go to gated apartments/communities so you could make grocery runs for like 10 households at a time to save gas, but still charge for it.

Cigarettes would have a low profit margin, unless selling singles like someone said, but it might be hard to find a strong demand for that. Even if you manage to make a 50 cent profit on each single sold, you would have to find a customer every 3 minutes in order to make $10 a hour which is not worth you time. Something I've sometimes thought about doing is delivering fast food. Be a one stop delivery service that deliveries all types of fast food (McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, Jack in the Box, Mexican food, chinese food, etc.). You could add a 5% fuel surcharge plus a flat $3 delivery fee plus get tips. If you get 1 $15 order every 10 minutes then ever hour you get $18 in delivers fee +$4.5 for the surcharge + ~$20 in tips which means your making $42.5 a hour. Depending on how fuel efficient yuor car is, hopefully you won't spend the whole $4.5 on gas. If you get too busy that you can't keep up with the orders, raise your fees.

A website would make things easy for this idea, but if you or the people around you are not good with technology then you can do it the simply way. Just buy a pack of those rectangle stickers that you can run through your printer and put on them - "Get your fast food delivered. Call!!-xxx-xxxx" and then go around and stick them near or on fast food joints. Also you can advertise on Craigslist for free under the services section.

I didn't say make a delivery ever 10, I said get an order ever 10 minutes which is not that many. Once the business builds hopefully you will get more orders than once every 10 minutes, and that is when you can start hiring people to help. While youre making the delivers you call in the orders so they are ready for you when you go to pick them up. Eventually you build the business so you are just managing the work from your house and not out in the field doing the physical work yourself.
