MAKE MONEY, HAVE FUN, GIVING SINGLES PARTIES.
Want
your life to take on a huge social dimension? Want to know all the fun,
young, smart eligible people in your area, help them to meet each other plus
make a few thousand a month? Consider hosting Summertime SINGLES PARTIES at
local cafes and restaurants.
I
know that you have have that extra, social, people-loving spark that could put
this idea over. Cuz YOU LOVE TO PARTY! Well parties and celebrations can be
very holy. Why do you think they call them HOLIDAYS? Singles Parties serve the
community, help lonely people out, make you money and friends and turn you into
the toast of the town.
Find
a friend who's interested in co-chairing the idea. Create some sample flyers
and carry them to a charming local cafe. Tell the owner what you're going to do
for him, i.e. put l00 guests into his side room for a singles
introduction-party on what is usually a 'slow' week night, when he's losing
money, a gathering that will bring the cafe a bar tab.
Pick
a cafe with a second room, (or in summer, a patio) as you don't want to bother
their regular diners. It must have a liquor license or why would the cafe do
it?
You'll
give your party at an early hour, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. so owner can go home early.
Point out to owner that your people will drink. If you do 12 parties a year,
which you plan, you are making him a lot of money. State that you're not asking
for a share of the bartab. But you want IN at his cafe, free. That you can't
give him a share of the guests as you have a lot of advertising to do.
Out
of 3 cafes you approach 3 will say yes, because a.) they can't fill that room
on a week night, no way, and b.) they aren't going to do flyers or advertising
for their place as regularly as you do (12 times a year!!) and c.) the bar tab
and d.) you will bring them new friends. So you have leverage to demand they
serve a free meal --- simple as vegetables on pasta (bell pepper, broccoli,
garlic, parmesan and lots of rich, olive oil and Greek olives on top) with
green romaine salad, serving only 50 people, buffet style. This costs the cafe
.30c per person. They can afford to donate that food because they are going to
make beaucoup $$ on the bar tab which you tell them in front! This absolutely
guarantees the cafe says YES to you. The Next thing you do:
TYPE
SET or HAND PRINT a flyer, (BIG PRINT) saying "WEDNESDAY NIGHT
SINGLES" the date and place and price, l0$ a ticket for men, 5$ for women.
Duplicate it at your local xerox joint. Hang everywhere: in hair salons,
barbers, dry cleaners, markets, libraries, gyms, schools, college bulletin
boards and hang a quadruple sized, hand lettered POSTER done with black marker
pen) on local PHONE POLES saying PARTY HOTLINE And phone #. Put places where
your target group is likely to see them. If you call the group
"30-Something" hang them at upscale, yuppie markets, boutiques. If
older population is your target audience, hang in pharmacies, medical bldgs.
Then you call it "50-something Singles". Or PERSONALIZED INTRODUCTION
PARTIES. Or if you're tired of ORDINARY people, try "VEGETARIAN
SINGLES" and have speakers; that way you meet the high souls. Or Socially
Responsible Singles. Whatever the target group, YOU WILL BE the star & host
of the party, making introductions.
Do
this lucrative party every week at the same locale. Change cafes every few
months. Keep investigating different venues: fancy hotel dining rooms, foreign
eateries, even country western music places --- if the back room is quiet
enough for singles, (as there's no dancing, only soft music at your parties as
the idea is -- people TALK. It's classier this way. And, do as we do here,
get a fortuneteller from your local metaphysical book store, and let her give
5$ palm readings at a back table, as it amuses, amazes and entertains. She can
be a PSYCHIC astrologer or palmreader who brings a plug-in table light so she
can SEE. You can pay her l0$ to show up. Also ask your astrologer to pick the
really powerful, VENUS or JUPITER night. You schedule your parties ONLY for
those nights. An astrologer can pick them months ahead. So every Wednesday
night is not necessarily the tack to take.
Pay
a trusted friend 10$ to sit at front door with a cigar box to collect money and
hand out stick-on name tags. YOU will walk around getting acquainted
with your guests, finding out who they want to meet, what qualities they want
in a mate, and making intros. People have to be introduced, so you need helpers
who come for free as an exchange.
At
parties, your helper sits at the table near the entry, letting no one get past
her without paying. Anyone without a name tag is a crasher. But be polite, say
"Oh, you need a name tag," not "you didn't pay." The desk
also has a name and addresss book for people to sign in, then you write or
phone them on the party day. Or fax them flyer for them to fax ON. Also, create
a TELPHONE HOT LINE (Phone company will give you a voice mail box for 3$ a
month. Record message: "Hi, it's the 30-Something Singles. Our regular
Wednesday event is 6:30 Wednesdays at the Blue Lagoon, 10$ at the door. But
don't forget our Valentine's event Saturday the 14th at the Hermitage Hotel."
FLYER should state, "Call our party hotline regularly as we change days
& dates all the time." Give our phone # to your pals! You'll never sit
home lonely again! After a few events, when you have a bankroll, advertise in
SINGLES COLUMN in local papers. Put it all over the internet, every one in your
city should send invites to ten other people. Collect phone #'s and email
addresses at the door in a 'GUEST BOOK," to make reminding your regular
crowd real easy.
My
friend made so much $ at her Wed nite event that she started a regular Sat nite
party called "MUTUAL ADMIRATION, SOPHISTICATED Ladies, YOUNGER men."
Widows and divorcees came out of the woodwork, but surprisingly, cute young
guys did too. They charged 12$ for that one and got it! Another group did a beach
jazz Sunday and made 5 grand in one evening.
Do
it at churches, or for them. Do it for charity, do it so you can quit your job
and study something VALUABLE. BUT DO IT!
And
do it with two friends so you have a keep-at-it group. Give Singles Parties a
shot. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Find
a parson, a church, a New age Group, some pals, discuss doing it together.
Next,
as you soon get thousands of names in your guest book, many young, you can also
give "RAVES" in any club that has space for a band, or any space.
They do them in underground clubs, too. Empty buildings where they will hold a
loud one night dance. You create flyers and spread them all around the youth
community. RAVE Saturday night in the empty store front at X. l0$ at the door.
BYOB. You get a DJ to plug in his speakers and record system and a big guy at
the door and a few bouncers, and nobody gets in without paying. You call it a
private party.
You
put ads at every college, school near this area. You can make thousands in a
single night. Or you can do Mariachi, Ranchero music nights, or HIp Hop or
Tango or Miami Sound Machine music. So your DJ is an important part of this
thing. Once you do a few raves, you'll realize what the tricks are and do it
well.
This
is going to make you a very comfortable, full-of-pals, social old age. You can
do a lot of good for your family, get married, have a great life and meet a lot
of the stars of tomorrow when you use live groups. You can use this career to
segue into MUSIC biz, or nightclub biz. Some party TYCOONs enter the
matchmaking industry, where people pay a thousand for ten dates and select
candidates from computer data bases. I've seen this done.
The
secret of starting is having a pal or two with you. The partnership of people
of like mind grows on its own. Use a friend or friends whom you like and trust
100% . It takes a group to KEEP UP and jog the partner when he forgets
something or loses faith.
Talk
it over with your friends, Get feedback. Go to a few cafes, proposing the party
idea to the owner. More feedback. Soon you will be making $ hand over
foot. $500-5000 a party.
At
that point, open a DATING LOVEAHOLICS ANONYMOUS GROUP for gals, church
basement, Instructions on that at THE SUCCESS IN LOVE SEMINAR page.
