One way to earn a little extra money in your spare time is to sell cookies. It's an easy business to start right away. Everyone loves cookies. So follow these steps and you can be earning extra money soon.
Instructions
1. Find a good cookie at a good price in your local area. You must find a winner. The cookie must be so good it sells itself. It also must be priced so low, you can double the price and still sell it.
2. Talk to your local Small Business Development Center about rules and regulations and policies. Prepare to obtain any necessary local licensing or permits for reselling baked goods.
3. Buy your cookies. Decide on a price for two cookies, three, a half dozen and a dozen or more. Buy a large industrial size plastic wrap. On a clean sanitized area of your kitchen or dining room, wrap up the cookies and place them by twos and threes in a basket, and by half dozens and dozens in paper bags.
4. Decide on prices to sell cookies. Label in pencil, as a reminder to yourself, the prices and quantity or type of cookies in each paper bag.
5. Prepare a fanny pack to make proper change to sell your cookies. Put $10 of quarters, 10 ones, 3 fives and a couple of tens in the fanny pack. Secure the fanny pack around your waist.
6. Go to local businesses and talk to supervisors, managers and owners and offer to deliver a couple of dozen cookies once or twice a week that they can put out for their customers. Also, ask if you can show your basket of cookies to workers and employees in case they want to buy a snack.
7. Invoice regular customers once a month for bigger orders. Collect phone numbers and addresses and contact businesses ahead of time.
