I've just realised I need a Plan B, to make it sound like Plan A actually involved a bit of planning.
Have these ideas been done?
1. eBay arbitrageur
What I will do is scan local classifieds for items that are priced lower than they are on eBay. Then, if the buy/sell profit is more than the postal cost - I will buy/sell/post and lock in the profit. Time is money so I'll look to outsource the labour ASAP.
2. Value Add stone merchant
What I will do is comb the local beaches for small pieces of broken glass. I will then put them in my blender. Lastly I will glue them to a 1980s style beaded necklace and market it as "Atlantis Neck Wear". I will do my research, I will buy Google data to see where the most hippies are living and will target their local classifieds.
3. Post Redirection
I am going to offer my address (which i will invent to sound good and redirect at the post office). Something like "
Villa Regale, Ocean View Road". I will then allow you to get your mail sent to me and I will forward to your address. Everything gets opened and repackaged to prevent illegal activity. I will employ local Phillipino maids (they are everywhere in the med) to take care of the repackaging for me- I will employ a local kid to drop off and pick up the packaging to the maids.
4. Kebabs Direct
Ever feel like a kebab on the way home from the pub but there is no kebab shop nearby? No problem, I'm a kebab broker - I match up kebab producers to kebab consumers. I use Deliveroo. My business model is subscription based. As long as subscription income beats Deliveroo expense it's a winner. I aim to be the Uber of the kebab space. The "Mara-Doner".
One or more of these could be a real Plan B.
