Drive Website Traffic Unconventionally, Force Your Children To Do It


If you believe that every little bit helps then keepreading...

For the past two summers my son has dabbled inentrepreneurialism.

He started by mowing lawns, what kid hasn't done that?It's time tested and money in the bank. (The grass alwayskeeps growing...unless you live in the arctic.)

Last summer we brainstormed a little and bought some gearfor under a hundred bux and he started going door-to-doorasking people if he could hand-wash their cars for 10 bux apop. (he used the same client list he had built from mowinglawns also, he's a smart kid!)

This year we, I should say HE because HE does all thework lol, went a step further.

He's been offering his clients an 'interior autodetailing' service for $25 bux (not including the $10 forhand-wash service.)

About 75% his clients take him up on the offer which meanshe now gets thirty-five bux an hour (it takes him about anhourfor total service.)

Compare that to any auto-detailing service in your area,it's a great price for the service you get, period!

I've seen his work, he's very good! The little rascalcharges his old man $20. (He calls it the family discount,LOL, if we were American I'm sure he would be a Republican.We're Canadian.)

He's averaging between $500-$800 per week! His clientslove his service so much he only spends about an hour a daydoor-knocking for new clients.

He works 4-6 hours per day four days a week.

Myself having been an entrepreneur for the past ten yearsapproached my son and asked him if he would hand outbusiness cards promoting my website.

He said.....get this....."WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME DAD?"

As I was choking back tears of pride I realized he waswell on his way to becoming a successful businessMAN......

..........then he rejected my offer of one dollar perbusiness card, and counter-offered a buck and a half.

Well I did what any 'good' father would do.......I tookaway his X-Box!!!

That'll learn 'em, HAHAHAHAHA!

I'M KIDDING................we met in the middle andsettled on a buck and a quarter. That's pretty good for himconsidering all he has to do is ask the following;

"Hey Mister, You own a computer?" If they say yes he handsover a card and says "Check it out"

If they say no, he says "Know anyone interested in makingextra money at home? Give this card to them please"

My card simply has my URL ONLY on it.http://www.helpfuldynamics.com

I've sold over twenty of his clients wanting my variousinformation pacakages. This has been in the last monthalone!

His clients trust him and I don't think they would havebought from me if it had not been for my son Anthony, whois 15 years old by the way!

What are your kids doing this summer?Why not teach them about entrepreneurialism?

McDonalds is a great place to work I guess if your kidswill accept minimum wage and being worked like a dog.

Why not pass on your entrepreneurial spirit to your kidsnow while they're still impressionable.

What? No kids?

Start this business yourself, and hire the neighbors kid.

You line up the appointments, the kid does the detailingand hand-washing and split the take.

AND DON'T FORGET YOUR WWW. BUSINESS CARDS!!!

Hope this gets your kids off the couch/computer games thissummer!
