Pictures from Old Books make great cash.

Hi again Readers,

Well here I am on Sunday night after spending the day out shopping. As many of you know I am keen on pictures as well as old books and today proved to be very enlightening for me in many more ways than I would have thought.

Whilst at a shopping centre looking around for Christmas idea’s I came across a couple of enterprising ladies who had taken and adapted one of my businesses, that I currently operate part-time as a hobby.

But Boy Oh Boy they were milking it for all its worth.

You see I own a large format canvas printer, which means I can take pictures out of old books, or from works of art in the Public Domain, reprint them as my own onto canvas or very large photographic paper, up to 24 inches deep and as long as you like, from rolls of photographic canvas. These products or Giclee Prints as they are known, I then sell on to people and businesses locally to decorate their homes, restaurants, hotels, public houses,  etc at extremely good rates of profit.

These two ladies were knocking my product sales for six, but what’s more they were charging far higher prices than me for the same work. They were set up on one of the hand cart type of stalls you find in most shopping centre aisles, where people just amble around in between the main shops. Now most of these types of stall usually sell Ice Cream, take away coffee’s, sweets, or maybe craft items for a few pennies, usually at the very most a couple of pounds a time.

Not the two enterprising ladies I found here though. No Sir, they had got a laptop computer rigged up to their canvas printer and were offering to print photo’s for you straight from your digital camera’s SD Card, Smart Cart, etc, or they would connect your camera up by USB lead and print directly from that.

Within the bounds of a photgraph’s quality they would even scan it and print from that for you. Now that to me was fantastic as I very often have to print from old photo’s that are so ancient that they are in the public domain.

It was amazingly quiet in the shopping centre today, even though only a couple of weeks before Christmas, but their turnover was phenominal in my opinion and they were completing the orders within 1 hour. You just left them your card with the image you wanted them to print, went about your shopping or went off for a coffee, came back and collected your beautiful picture on canvas.

Any size you require up to the maximum of the printer capabilites could be reproduced in less than an hour and that included stretching the picture over a frame ready to hang directly on your wall when you got home.

What a brilliant impulse sale idea these two ladies had come up with, the average size being ordered was 16″ by 16″ at a price of £70 a time. Now I happen to know that the wholesale cost is way below that so the profit is absolutely amazing.

With canvasses up to 20″ by 30″ being sold for £120 a go, you certainly didn’t need to do too much work to turn over £1000 per day and these two appeared to be doing much more than that without even trying. In fact my printer takes about 10 minutes to produce a 20 by 30 picture and it will take me about another 10 minutes to fix it over a wooden frame ready for hanging. So that’s twenty minutes maximum for one person who is a little on the slow side when it comes to putting the whole lot together.

If you really think about this for yourself and divide the time equally between the two ladies, then as an approximation doing one minor task each they could turn out six £120 items per hour at full steam. So there you go at £720 per hour turnover and say an average 8 hour shopping day you could achieve FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS per day. Six days a week means £34560 per week and you still get plenty of time off. Work just five days if you like and rake in £28,800.

It’s certainly made me think a lot more about the picture aspect of my Public Domain business. Perhaps I should be training and paying someone to operate this simple business for me.

I give a lot of information about where to find a never ending supply of items which you can take and use as your very in in my ebook at Old Books Make Money. These two enterprising ladies have either found that information for themselves and are raking in a fantastic income from it, because they had an amazing array of reprinted public domain pictures hanging around their stall as sales leaders, or else they have gotten hold of Old Books Make Money, read it from cover to cover and found a way to capitalise on the information to earn a fantastic income with a great lifestyle.

Enough of my ramblings for now, I’ll just leave you to dream about this for your self. Don’t dream to long though as you could be missing out on your easily attainable fortune. It’ll take you just a simple click to have a look at Old Books Make Money right now. Incidentally while you are there why not sign up for the Mini Course?
