A FISHING CONTEST

You can make a lot of money cashing in on peoples’ hobby. Fishing is one area where you can come in. To be successful you need to be innovative. Fishing enthusiasts are always looking for good areas to fish and feel satisfied and proud to show off if they bag a good catch. To capitalize on this, arrange a fishing contest where you charge a substantial fee. Make the contest interesting.

A very attractive way is to hold the fishing contest at a fishing stake offshore. Arrange with the fishing stake owner to use his place for the contest. Make it a two-sessions affair; one from early morning to midday and the other from midday to late evening. If it is convenient, you can also arrange for night fishing, as long as you keep the number of hours equal for every session. Arrange also to take the participants to the fishing area. Make the charge inclusive of that and offer to provide a meal.

Advertise widely in the newspapers and you will find people coming from many areas and even from out of town places to join the fun. Offer good and attractive cash prizes and you will draw a good crowd to enable you to make a handsome income. Hold this contest at regular intervals and at different locations.

TRANSPORTING CARGO

Transporting cargo has always been a good business and there is no lack of cargo to transport as well. Many companies nowadays prefer to hire transport companies to move their cargo rather than buy a lorry themselves to do the job. They save on driver’s salaries and also on off peak time layoff. They save also on insurance, repair, breakdowns and a paraphernalia of other inconveniences attached including traffic summons and under the counter payments. Hiring transport companies to move their goods save them all the headache.

You have a good business opportunity here. All you need is a good lorry with trailer and a good driver if you do not drive the lorry yourself. Advertise in the yellow pages. You will have to look for clients yourself in the initial stages until you are established and are able to make a contract arrangement with a number of companies to move their goods. You will not be short of customers if you establish a good name and provide good services to your clients. Customers only want their goods to be delivered safely on time. If you can ensure that, you have yourself a good future.
