1. News
Welcome to the latest issue of the Homeworking Ideas newsletter, the monthly
publication which gives you all the latest news from the UK on ways of earning money
from home. I hope you had a good summer and are gearing up to a busy income generating
autumn. To help you on your way,
this month we've got a further selection of sites and opportunities to check out.
******THIS MONTH'S SPONSOR******
People wanted to promote and take orders for the new Invisible Bra. We are
asking £12 each bra, normally retailed at £20 plus. What you charge is up to
you the difference being your commission. We will take responsibility for postage
UK only. This product can be viewed on our website
http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/tradespan.site/
All we require from you is £12 for a sample to show prospective clients. If interested please contact

Scams
The Fraud Advisory Panel have just released a free booklet about identifying internet and e-mail
scams. To download your copy visit their site at http://www.fraudadvisorypanel.org
Surveys
Test&Vote is slightly different from other survey sites I've come across in that you don't have to rely on getting invitations for completing surveys, but have several other ways of earning points or getting free items.
- Registration earns you 1,500 points
- Quick votes, each time you take part earns you 15 points (there are always loads of these on the site so visit regularly. They take a matter of seconds to complete.)
- Product testing, registering for each trial earns you 75 points even if you're not selected to take part
- Surveys earn you between 3,000 and 30,000 points
- Referring a friend, for each person who joins Test&Vote because of you, you will earn 500 points
- Subject panels - complete these to get 500 points per subject.
You can either exchange your points for Amazon vouchers or use them to
buy tickets in the monthly lottery where you could win £350 in vouchers.
Visit http://uk.testandvote.com to register or get further details.
Online Auctions
QXL has been running UK auctions since 1997 but has never quite reached the
popularity of eBay. To increase their profile and generate more activity they are
offering free listings until Friday September 24 2004, so if you've been thinking
of trying to sell your own products/eBooks etc. at auction but been put off by
the listing fees at eBay, now's your chance to test for interest. Of course the
lower levels of activity mean you've got a great chance of picking up a bargain
or two while
you're there. More details available from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/qxl.htm
2. Featured Publication
"The Entrepreneurs Toolbox"
If you're bored with the same old business ideas being recycled over and over again,
and want some fresh ideas, take a look at the recently launched "227 Unusual Business
Ideas", a collection of the most unusual, weird and just plain crazy, but proven,
successful businesses you can't even imagine . Who, for example, would ever have
thought of Phony ATM
Receipts - a unique product to help people who want to "act rich" (idea 16)?
If you're like most people, then you'll probably have an innate fear that you won't be able to:
- Come up with a great business idea or
- Get started on a business idea of your own or
- Be successful with your own business idea or
- Any combination of the above!
In fact, surveys show that the Number 1 dilemma for people who want to be in
business is “lack of ideas” and then where to start once they have an idea…
But look through "227 Unusual Business Ideas" and the authors guarantee you'll
be inspired and left with the feeling that there are just no excuses left.
If some of these wild and unusual businesses are making money for their owners,
then there's no reason your idea won't be successful too. The companion manual,
the Business Brainstorming Guide, then shows you precisely how to use other people's
ideas to stimulate your own imagination, and there's a host of other tools as well
to complete the package.
As with all publications I recommend, this package comes with a no questions
asked guarantee, but forget the usual 14 or 30 days. You get a full year
to try out this one. Visit http://www.homeworkinguk.com/227.htm for full details
3. Featured Business Opportunity
TRIDENT fireworks are seeking Agents/Distributors for their POLARIS and STARBURST
selection packs.
The POLARIS selection box is an extremely attractive pack that contains 25
Fireworks plus 7 Rockets and a Catherine wheel. Also includes free 10" and 16"
Sparklers and a lighting taper,and weighs 3kg.
The STARBURST Rocket pack is a tube containing 6 x 35" length Rockets and comes
with launch tube and lighting taper.
Both packs have been specially selected for their effects,and are perfect for garden
displays.All fireworks comply with the necessary British Standards (BS: 7114 part
2:1988)
This offer should appeal to those who perhaps work in a factory, office, canteen etc.
social and sports club members and stewards, fundraisers, catalogue agents, party
planners etc. etc. In fact anyone who knows families with children.
It is not for car booters, stall operators or anyone thinking of selling door
to door or in a public place. These activities are illegal in respect of fireworks.
The procedure is simple, the outlay is minimal, and the profit is substantial,
with an opportunity to build a business for years to come. Because customers
recognise value for money they buy again and tell their friends.
In accordance with the regulations,fireworks cannot be sold to persons under 18 and
cannot be sold to anyone at all until 3 weeks before bonfire night, which is Oct 15th.
Delivery will commence against orders confirmed with a deposit after that date.
This means that agents take delivery and re-deliver and therefore do not need
to store the products at all. Should an agent feel that they would be better
off by selling from stock, then they will be advised on the procedure necessary
to obtain a licence to store.
The initial investment is £35 which covers the cost of the sample packs. The Polaris
firework selection pack costs £20 and sells for up to £30.The Starburst rocket
pack costs £15 and sells for up to £25. Both these products have higher retail
values. This is the selling kit and brings in the orders. At the moment this
offer is restricted to the home counties because of the logistics of delivery.
All prospective agents will be met in the next few weeks,and do not have to
send any money before examining the products and deciding for themselves.
Display Posters are available to assist the campaign
It is amazing how many people you will know that buy fireworks if you take time
out to think about it, and whilst this opportunity is not likely to make you
rich enough to retire to the sun, it might at least earn you a holiday in it!!
For further details please e-mail
or ring 07788 991819.
