INCOME OPPORTUNITY FOR SURFERS AND MINIATURE ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE HOBBYIST

    Income Opportunity for Surfers. Every part of the country with an available surf-pounding ocean or body of water has its attraction for surfing. If you can surf, you can earn income with these ideas.

     SURFBOARD DEMONSTRATIONS. Place signs in the windows of local surfboard suppliers that you are available to teach this hobby to new-comers. The supplier can be paid with a commission or agree to rent his equipment.

     Charge a flat fee per day for each student. Show how to mount a board, how to stay afloat, how to come back to shore and how to alight. Again, the informality of it all will appeal to your type of customer.

     SURFBOARD SCHOOL. Set up a school in the sense that you gather together a set of students who have some skill but require more "on the water" practice. Take them right out on the water. Call out suggestions, make improvements, tell them about errors, just as any teacher would do in any class, except that this is a "classroom" on the ocean. It's the enjoyable way to go surfboarding...for profit.

     ANTIQUE CAR MINIATURES. This hobby is also on the increase. With new models coming out all of the time, from all parts of the world, antique car miniatures are very popular. Here's how you can make money with this fast-growing hobby.

     HOME SHOW. If you have such antique car miniatures in your home, put all of them on a large table or several tables. You'll need at least 50 or 100 to make it interesting. Beneath each one, place a slip of paper containing specific information, facts, legends, etc..., about the car. Hold a home show. They are popular. Charge a couple dollars admission.
     Give your customers their money's worth by delivering an informal lecture on antique car miniatures. You can even read this from any book on the subject. Remember what I have told you before, purchase out of print books-cheap- sell them for profit (on this subject). Show slide films or motion pictures (available on rental for a modest fee or none at all except postage from many large auto manufacturers or many local libraries). This creates a good atmosphere for your customers.

     SELL ANTIQUES. Many antique car hobbyists will want to have some special models for a collection. Agree to act as a scout for them. Look around antique shops or stores that sell such items. Read hobby magazines (available at your local library) that carry listings of such miniatures available for sale. Charge a reasonable markup to your customers. This is a fun-filled hobby that can give you an extra income in a little time. You could also buy up many antique car miniatures and then offer to sell all that are on display for a profit.

Use Your Skill To Make Money

     SKIN AND/OR SCUBA DIVING. Many people can do this type of recreation. If you have this skill, you can cash in on the treasures from the deep sea. Here are some income opportunities from skin and/or scuba diving.

     INDOOR LESSONS. You never have to leave your home for this. All you need is a black-board. You outline lessons on how to dive into the sea. Wear an outfit while you instruct your money-paying customers. You can do this in any spare room, basement or garage.

Pass out backdate periodicals on this subject (available for a few pennies per copy at many backdate magazine stores). A course can run for 10 to 15 lessons, starting from scratch and then ending with a simulated dive into the sea...on blackboard. NOTE: Scuba diving manufacturers will often give you free motion picture films (you pay postage charges) that you can show to your students. You'll need a projector and screen, though. It does add value to your course.

     OUTDOOR LESSONS. Contact local skin diving equipment stores and ask if you can post signs in their windows for diving instruction. If the storekeeper suggests it, give him/her a slight commission per student. You'll rent his/her boat and any equipment he or she has and this gives him/her profit. Take your customers out onto the open waters and give a demonstration. As your students progress, you can take them into the water with you.

     TREASURE DIVING. In your library, read up on books about deep sea treasures. Ask the librarian for books with a local background. If treasures (legendary or not) are to be found in your local waters, then set up a treasure diving trip. Your guests will need to be skilled in diving.

     Rent a boat and charge accordingly so you make a profit. If your guests do not own diving suits, ask the boatyard owner (provided he/she rents or sells such outfits) if they will let you have the free use of a boat, in return for which you will bring them a goodly amount of customers who will either rent or buy the outfits. This is a profit-making barter method. Deep sea treasure diving is fun and it is profitable, too.
