Home Business 12 - How To Start Your Own Bulletin Board Service

Thinking of starting a home based business? Here's another great, legitimate home business opportunity for you to consider.

Start your own bulletin board service and earn extra money by helping businesses and individuals in your area to advertise their products or services. This is a top home based business and it works like this:

Bulletin boards are information boards you see in public places like shopping centers, libraries, etc. People will pay you a monthly fee to have their poster or flier adverts pinned up on these boards.

The first thing you have to do is to find appropriate sites for your boards. Contact shopping centers, grocery stores, libraries and convince the owner's to let you put up a board at their location. You may offer them a small monthly fee for this. Promise them that you will keep the board professional, neat and updated at all times.

Once you have enough sites signed up, you can now make up your own bulletin boards. Cut out corkboards 3 feet by 4 feet and mount it into a 3/4 by 1 inch frame. Then affix a plastic or clear perspex sheet over the whole board, using hinges at the top and a simple cabinet lock at the bottom. Install these at the locations.

Before you install, affix a poster advertising space for rent onto each board. People will see this poster and contact you for advertising on the board.

You charge people a monthly advertising fee. Price your fees an x amount per square inch as people will have various sized posters and fliers that they'll want to pin to your board.

This is a relatively easy home business - simply visit your locations once a week to check up on the boards.

That's the plan - simple and easy and requires little investment, education or training. This could be just what you've been looking for to earn extra cash.
