The Divorce Party Profit Plan
There is always a great celebration when couples join in marriage. However, when they break up or get divorced there seems to be nothing done to commemorate the significance of the day. What better time could there be for a throwing a party? Whether grieving or joyful, a party is a great way to mark a dramatic change in life. Having all of your closest friends at a time like this is only natural. Help people going through these life changing events know how to go about setting up a memorable party for this unusual party occasion.
You could offer to create and set these parties up, or host them for interested individuals in your area. You could also put together various kinds of kits to sell to people wanting to give a party for these common, but unusual events.
You could offer several different types or themes of parties dealing with the same occasions of separating, and/or divorce. You might include things like pin the tail on the X-companion or aim for the piñata (with the X’s name on it) full of small tasty surprises. Just add a little twist to the typical childhood games we all know or even some adult ones we are all familiar with playing. Just make sure that the party will be well remembered and enjoyed by all.
If you decide to set these parties up in your area, you could advertise in local newspapers and telephone books. Send advertising to individuals that are acquiring legal divorces or separations in your local area. This type of information is usually found filed at your local courthouses or even documented in some newspapers. You could also contact lawyers in your area, which work with offering their services of divorces and separations.
If you decide to put party kits together, give them all unique names for each different type of divorce or separation. The many varying reasons for these break-ups can give you ideas of appealing themes for the parties. Be creative and whimsical in coming up with different ideas of games or decorations and your kits are sure to be a great hit with the attending partygoers. They will be looking forward to their next divorce/separation party.
You can offer your kits on many popular auction sites, this will help advertise them for you and help others be aware of what you offer. You really should try to offer your party kits on your own web-site store if you are able to. If not, try to convince popular sites to carry your kits to sell. You can also visit your local gift and card shops, make them aware of your products, and see if they would like to sell them. Another place to visit might be your local bakeries that sell cakes for parties, offer them some ideas for cake designs, and then see if they would like to advertise your themed kits to go along with the various designs. You both may end up with added profits that were not expected in this area before.

How To Be A “Fame Maker”
Nightclubs are extremely popular and a great place for a fun night out. However, there are those who can’t get in the door and others who can’t get in the VIP sections. Make someone feel very special for a night out on the town. It would be an excellent ‘business idea’ if you live in an area that has many popular nightclubs. Of course you will have to pay these nightclubs a fee to get your clients in, for an agreed upon amount of time. Since the clients will probably want to visit several different nightclubs, they probably won’t be staying more than a few of hours at each club. This could depend a great deal, on what package they may book also.
Offer a unique service for people allowing them to purchase a package from you that gets them visits to a few different nightclubs, transported in a limo, providing security personnel for them, and possibly even their own personal paparazzi to make them feel like celebrities for a night. Drinks should be included also in the package fee, maybe offer two free drinks per club.
You could charge around $900 for four people in the party. Offer the limo, the paparazzi, the bodyguards, and a personal stylist, all for an extra $250 – $300 per additional option. These are all options that you can determine your cost for and then make sure that you make a decent profit. This will require you to do a lot of organizing ahead of time before putting the packages together. Once you have all of the packages designed and organized, you will want to start advertising the night fun.
You will probably need to spend a good amount of money in advertising. If you don’t have a lot of money to do this, you might be able to start by talking to the local vacation and travel agents in your area. Leaving small brochures at the local hotels in your area could be a good way to find customers also. Many times when people come to visit an area they will ask the local staff in Hotels about fun things to do while they are in town. This is especially true of people that are traveling for business reasons. They might stay a few extra days just to take in the night out on the town. Offering the Hotel or staff members a small fee for referring their customers would be a good incentive also.
Keeping different age groups in mind is a good idea also. Since different types of nightclubs would appeal to different age groups. You would also have to make sure that the people in the party are all with-in drinking age, if they are visiting nightclubs that serve alcoholic drinks. You wouldn’t want to be responsible for offering the service to under age groups. You could still offer a different type of package for younger people though, just taking them to special events like a dinner out and a concert with special seats. You might be very surprised at how much this will appeal to young adults and teenagers. Especially including the extra bodyguards and paparazzi, this would be just as appealing to them. (Just make sure they attend places that are appropriate for their age and possibly require one guest to be an adult that will be responsible for them, unless you can pay the bodyguards to make sure they are safe and not drinking alcohol illegally.)
All of your customers will probably enjoy it so much that they will be return customers, asking other friends to chip in for another fun night out!

How To “Party For Profit”
How many times have you eagerly grabbed your packet of freshly developed photos of your son’s birthday party or a friend’s wedding and been disappointed to find that they are all blurry or tilted? This happens to people’s memories all the time, because they choose to preserve their own memories when hiring a pro would have been a more reliable choice. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to make money, these tips show you how you can capture the moment and some cash.
There are hundreds of special events in the world; weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, just to name a few. Then we have the bigger events, like the Strawberry Festival, or a local celebration. How we preserve these times means a lot down the road.
You can tap into this lucrative market without spending a heap of cash. All you need is a simple editing program, a VCR, and a digital camera. With DVD becoming so popular, I suggest having a burner in your computer. Your job will be recording events, everything from Jimmy’s first birthday to Great Aunt June’s last one. These are valuable memories to the families you are working for, so make sure you are up to the job. Practice first. Since you can erase innumerable times, feel free to record and erase as often as you wish until you feel your skills are up to par. www.aboutvideoediting.com is a good website to learn the basics about how to actually turn your footage into a video.
Make a demo or two and hit the streets. You can put up notices in venues that host special events, run ads in the paper and hand out flyers. But your best marketing campaign will be a professional presentation and great videos. Remember that simpler is better, you don’t need a lot of fancy cuts and effects. Simple fades and snappy cuts are fine.
When you first meet a client, give him or her a quote based on how many hours the event will last, including prep time, plus the amount of time to edit. If you have practiced enough, you should have a pretty good idea as to how long it will take.
You need to have a schedule of the event, especially for weddings. It is a bonus if you have a second camera that you can set up at the side or back of the room to capture all the action which you might miss. Later, splice the two together for a very professional video. If you have a friend with a camera, you might consider borrowing or renting it just for this purpose for large events.
Make a time line of the important moments at the event, for example:
Jimmy’s 1st party
10:00 am – Guests arrive – Front door
10:15 – Pin the Tail on the Donkey – Back yard
10:30 – Pinata – Back yard
11:00 – Cake and Ice Cream – Kitchen
11:30 – Opening Presents – Living Room
Using this as a guide, you can figure out where you need to be for each moment. Set up a few minutes ahead of time to allow yourself time to choose the best location and to be out of the way of small children who are rushing to eat cake.
Your client will also ask for a timeline, when they can expect the video. You should have the video for them within a week or so of the event. If you think this isn’t possible, due to overbooking or other circumstances, let the client know in advance.
Print up a nice label for the video so it won’t be tossed in a box somewhere and remember to break off the tabs so no one will erase it. It might be a good idea to keep a copy for your archives, at least for a few weeks. Giving your clients an option between DVD and VHS will increase your business.
A final note, remember to bring extra batteries and memory chips, even if there will be electrical outlets. You never know what might happen! To borrow the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.”
