A Buck A Day!

I just want to let you know about some of my failures and some of my successes over the last few months.

The Vending Machines... I had two of them at an event that lasted about 6 hours... In those 6 hours they took in $14.25 in revenue.  Not bad, I just wish I had them out all the time, but I am working on that.

Gold Prospecting...  I told you that I had some 'pay dirt' from TN, AZ, and TX.  I FOUND some GOLD, but not enough to make it worthwhile.  It costs be about $80 for all of the supplies and I only found about $15 in gold.  I decided to keep the gold flakes that I found instead of selling it to a smelter.

I am thinking about getting back into the stock market... I did so good when the market crashed a few years ago...  (I really did, some of my picks tripled!)

I am also thinking about getting into retail/catalogue sales again.  I failed miserably last time I did, but I have some new ideas that may prove the lynch pin for success.

If you have something that you want me try, just let me know!

I am working on a few new projects (all at the same time!)

In the morning I will be attending a storage unit auction, just like the ones on TV. I have actually got a background in this so I should come out on top, I am taking my video camera.

I am also going to be panning for gold on my next day off, I have finally received all of the supplies, watched enough of 'GoldRush' on TV and YouTube, that I think I can pull some gold. I ordered 'paydirt' from Tennessee, Arizona, and I live in one of the only counties in Texas that has proven gold deposits.

I also have started a gourmet dog treat business, I now have one store that has a few boxes of my treats, more updates coming!

Back on July 1st, 2011, I told you I was interested in a P.I.G. (Passive Income Generator)

I went out and purchased two used vending machines...one is the Vendstar 3000 that holds 3 types of candy and generated .25 cents per vend. It was a nice used machine but you could start to see the wear....so I just finished giving it a new paint job with paint I have and gave it a red/white/blue motif. (pic coming soon)

I also bought a tabletop basketball skill machine... I don't have to pay out anything, the customer just tries to make their coin in the winning circle. If they do, the establishment it is in gives a prize. I just gave it a new paint job too with a black and orange motif to try and make it look like a basketball.

Expenses so far:

Vendstar 3000 =$50
Tabletop Skill Machine =$10
Paint I already had =$0

So far I have spend $80! More updates when available..... If you want to see more about this venture just click on the 'Vending' tab to the right!
