Then you're a lazy ####. We do every frame by hand, every time.NCCommish said: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.bostonfred said: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?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.
This. I worked as bartender through college and easily made 3x what people who worked at the local Kroger/Walmart etc made.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.
I'll bet not nearly as annoyed as your parents.Really though, my opportunity to comfortably move out of my parents house just flew out the window.
Annoying.

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.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.

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.

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 profitI can offer some hardcore residual income.
Have you tried placing tiny classified ads in a thousand papers every week?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.
Hi. It's me again. Sheik. Still waiting to hear an answer back on my bartender or construction worker question.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.
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.It's very easy to find $300 phones that you can flip quick for $400.

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.Hi. It's me again. Sheik.

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.I did try to catch on as Pipefitter at a local Union but they didn't want to offer me an apprenticeship.

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.

Show me the proven production.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.
