BTW I ran a photo lab back when people still actually used film. I made decent money managing it and became known as the place to take the "artsy" photos of your girlfriend/wife to be developed. Had this guy whose wife was a knock out redhead. He took extremely "artsy" pictures of her. It was like a Christmas bonus every time he came in.
1) awesome2) how the #### do you become known as the place to take those photos to, especially pre internet? did you wear a badge that said, hi, i accept nude photos of your wives and girlfriends? was there some kind of underground club where people talk about where to get their nudies developed? or maybe you were hooked in with a bunch of swingers and just didnt know it?
Good question. Guy with the red head was my nude picture first customer. I know he recommended me to at least two other people. I assume they recommended and so on. I was always very circumspect with their pictures and for the most part they would only drop off if I was there. If I wasn't there they would request it be held until I was to develop it. Plus I put effort into the development. I just didn't let them auto process I did every frame by hand. Quality first after all.
Then you're a lazy ####. We do every frame by hand, every time.

 
One time, we got an internet order from this 18 year old girl I knew. She sent in pictures completely naked, graphic.

At least, 30 or so...

 
Thanks God, you're back. I was getting worried.

Have you discussed why you are not working as a bartender or as a construction worker? These jobs would seem to pay more and have better benefits than getting all the 35mm film you want developed for free.
This. I worked as bartender through college and easily made 3x what people who worked at the local Kroger/Walmart etc made.

 
Micromanagement is a management style whereby a manager closely observes or controls the work of subordinates or employees.

That is exactly how things go at my store. The person in charge makes a list of #### for you to do then comes by every 20 - 30 minutes to check up on you.
Um... yeah (holding coffee mug while hovering over Eminence). Ima... pause... gonna need you to.... pause... uh... pause... come in tomorrow (saturday) to meet to discuss micromanaging. Yeah... pause... and uh... pause... Im gonna need you to... uh... pause... come in on sunday too... um... yeah.

Looks like it will take at least the weekend to learn you what micromanaging is.

Checking up on your subordinates is usually just a part of managing. Micromanaging would be pushing you to the side and showing you how to "properly" stock the shelves. You see, you want to slide that box up sideways, and then straighten it out... rinse and repeat with every menial task, as if you couldn't do it yourself. That's micromanaging.

Following up, again, is managing. Sounds like you are another 3 months away from consideration as shift leader, or longer, depending upon how quickly you pick up this managing concept.

 
I also ran an Online Cell Phone business for awhile. If anyone gave me $5,000 I could probably turn it into near double if you gave me the chance.

I had a great business model, just no seed money. I had too many orders, not enough inventory. Had to call it quits.

Another way to think of that is that you have had two businesses which failed so miserably to turn a profit that you're better off working for $8.25 an hour.

Not true, both were quite lucrative.

You prefer to make $8.25 an hour?

$8.25 is guaranteed money and I was only able to afford both businesses because I was living at home.

What happens when I don't make enough for rent and can afford EVEN LESS inventory? It would become a vicious cycle if that was my only income.

The reason they check on you every thirty minutes is because they are under the gun and if you don't get it done they will get yelled at and have to stick around and get it done themselves along with all the stuff you are apparently clueless about them having to get done. It's a thankless job really, you don't want it.

 
I can use the internet to consistently turn a $10 - 15 profit per phone. Sometimes MUCH MORE if I find a steal.

The catch is, I can't afford to buy 100 - 200 phones a month to truly make this worthwhile.

 
I can offer some hardcore residual income.
If I send you money, I'm going to want some points on it. We're talking 5 a week, plus 20% of your overall profit

If you don't pay, and pay on time, I know a guy in LA that will go to unimaginable lengths to break your fingers in return for a handful of Nocros. I won't hesitate to set him in motion to get what's mine.

So don't mess this up.

Have you tried placing tiny classified ads in a thousand papers every week?

 
It's very easy to find $300 phones that you can flip quick for $400. But obviously that ties up $300 which to me was a big portion of my overall funds. So, I was forced to keep my spending to between $50 - 150 a phone. Which limited my overall potential profit.

Hi. It's me again. Sheik. Still waiting to hear an answer back on my bartender or construction worker question.

Thanks. Keep up the good work.

So why don't you do this small scale in addition to what your doing now to make a few hundred extras bucks a month. You should be able to easily do 2 phones a month with just $300 startup funds. Maybe even save some of that and in a few months, you can move up to 4 phones a month. And so on.

I did try to catch on as Pipefitter at a local Union but they didn't want to offer me an apprenticeship. That was my first option as an easy out. I was a Server at Olive Garden for awhile and was contemplating trying to get trained as a bartender but it was never something I "really" wanted to do. I don't think I'm the perfect fit for that kind of job.

I'd do already at a Sports Bar where I got to talk about Football with the customers, be - it that I actually know what I'm talking about in that respect.

You can't get rich in 3 months doing that. Why even try.

There's a big difference in server to bartender. All jokes aside, bartending skills can come in handy. When the Dot Com bubble burst and I was left without a job for 7 months, I was able to go back to bartending and make good money. Plus it left my days open for interviewing. Even a bartender at a crappy place makes decent money. I'm guessing way more than $8.25 an hour. Plus, as I said, you can use your free daytimes to pursue a real job.

It's not as easy as it seems, the work it requires can be pretty daunting especially if you're working a full-time job and going to school. You have to track down these phones and sometimes drive 40 - 50 minutes for the best deal. Constantly have an eye on Online Bidding sites like Ebay. Make sure you are competitively listed on Amazon.

All while making sure you leave enough money for gas in your car and to put food in your stomach.

That does not sound like a feasible business then.

 
Like, if you're living on the bubble and you spend your last $200 on a phone you end up selling for $350. Only for the person to return the phone, you're now sitting in a hole for at least a week. Expecting to have $350, still having the "worth" but no liquidated cash.

Only a phone in the mail.

My paychecks are $470. Do you think I have the spare cash laying around to buy a bunch of phones in the $200 - 300 range that I can sell for a quick $50 - 100 profit?

I don't see ANY MONEY until the customer receives the phone and is satisfied. This can take up to a week.

I am building my credit... I currently have a $3,200 credit limit. Once that number gets larger, I'll probably give the whole cell phone thing a whirl again. I'd rather just wait on it and work a real job in the mean time.

 
I wasn't sure how this got to 8 pages in about 24 hours.

Then I looked at the small print.

Please, please keep these types of threads going. :moneybag:

I'm thinking about buying yachts at a cheap price and then selling them for a slightly higher price. Probably be able to make a couple grand a month. Anyone want to loan me some seed money so I can do this? It's all part of my "Get Rich Slow" scheme.
