Why It Does Not Take
Money to Make Money
Nate Fortner
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always tried to think of
new ways to make a dollar. As early as Middle School, I would rob our cookie
jar at home to sell cookies and Little Debbie’s to the kids in class. Once I
learned that money could get me what I wanted, I tried to get all I could.
One time, I did a school fundraiser selling candy bars, but
when the sale was over, I kept the box. I would buy the King-sized candy bars
from the local grocery store in bulk to refill my box. I continued selling
candy bars until my box fell apart. I would buy candy bars, sometimes 6 for
only $1.00, and resale them for $1.00 each. I was undoubtedly the richest
self-made kid in Middle School.
Now, as an adult, I still look for opportunities to make a
dollar in every deal. Over the years, I’ve been turned off by the phrase, “It takes money to make money.” That is
the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. I’ve grown my company with no money in the
advertising budget. My very first book deal was completely paid for, and I made
a profit. The truth is, all you need to make money is an idea, and the know-how
to pull it off. Book Publishing Companies.
My most recent idea was to allow people to use my publishing
platform to print their own customized journals. I created a basic template,
and they send me their favorite picture. For only $10.00, they get their
picture on the full color cover, and 100 lined pages front and back for
writing. I even print their favorite Bible verse or quote at the bottom of each
page. This idea has begun to be a great money maker for my company. Not only
have individuals done this, but local businesses are now taking advantage of
the offer. Now they are selling their own personalized journals in their
stores.
It doesn’t take money to make money. You just need to sell
other people on your idea, and get them to write the check!
What did it cost me out of pocket to do this?
Absolutely Nothing!
