Looks like you've created a franchisable micro-biz. The book is in effect the "operations manual" (Ok, I haven't bought nor read it). You could add value to the book and create a franchise. For example add starter stock, etc and sell the package for say $99. You would need to identify the sorts of people who are most likely to be interested and motivated to run such a biz, maybe part-time and then target them specifi…

I have been thinking about adding/selling a starter kit as it will definitely help me raise the price of the ebook and I also have a pretty good idea of the type of people to target but how to target them is the big challenge.

Hi BasilAwad...these are simple balloons that you can carry in your hands, not the big ones that go on top of retail buildings. thanks -Samir

I read just about everything on the website, but I still don't understand what kind of business it is. Is it basically a delivery service for birthday parties and to hospitals? or are you purposely hiding the concept? I suggest giving as much detail as you can about the business and what kind of work is actually involved... i.e. driving around delivering stuff or standing on street corners selling to tourists?

Hi...good point. Some people may require a little more information before deciding whether this business is for them. Since you've brought up the question, I can tell you that the business is basically about delivering/selling a certain type of balloon to a certain type of business on wholesale. It does require driving within a 5 mile radius of your neighborhood.

Thanks -Samir
