Make Money Distributing Flyers For Businesses

Sometimes it's hard for a teen to come up with interesting ways to make extra money.  You may not want to stand behind a fast food counter.  One unusual business to consider is a Flyer Distribution Service. Simply put, pass out flyers for businesses, churches, non-profit organizations and even individuals, and earn money for doing it.

To begin, you'll want to create your own flyers promoting your  business. They could read something like, "Flyer Distribution Service available! Let us do the leg work for you. Your flyers distributed in and around our local community!"

You could ask local businesses if you could hang your flyers in their facility to jump start your business. Post them and deliver them everywhere you can think of. Each and every business and bulletin board in your town is an ideal start.

Stop by local church offices and let them know what you're doing. Churches often need flyers posted for events they have coming up. Hospitals have blood drives or health screenings that need promotion. Local businesses have various specials coming up they want the public to know about. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) halls have frequent events they want to invite people to. Individuals hold yard sales and they'd love some help promoting. All of these are fantastic opportunities for you to post flyers for others and earn money.

Be on the look out, and when you see a local event advertised, contact the person in charge and offer your services-for a fee, of course! Don't be afraid to let a business owner or manager know you're available to post flyers for them.

Craft stores and large home improvement stores often have a special craft going on. Offer to spread the word for a reasonable fee. Businesses often send an employee out to do this task, which takes him away from his job. Capitalize on this need and you'll become an indispensable resource in your local community!

Decide on a price for your services, either a price per flyer, per stack of flyers (example: 25 flyers posted or delivered for a set fee) or based on distance or time. You could even offer a flat rate for the service and give everyone the same price. Just keep in mind your time, gasoline and wear on your vehicle.

You may want to concentrate on a specific type of business at first, perhaps smaller organizations, just to get started.  Then, as you become more comfortable, you may want to offer your services to larger organizations.

Offering a copying or printing service may appeal to some customers who don't want to waste their time running copies of their flyers.  Other groups will have their flyers all printed and ready for you to distribute.

Depending on where you'll be posting flyers for your clients, you'll need a few supplies such as the type of staple gun found in the home repair section of a hardware store.  Also, stock up on thumb tacks and sturdy tape. Of course, some flyers will be just passed out instead of posted.

Some businesses will want you to put flyers up all over town while others may prefer only specific areas. Pay close attention to the client's directions, be flexible and willing to go the extra mile and your client will remember you for the next big event.

If the client is leaving the distribution of flyers to your discretion, remember the places you've seen flyers, like on your windshield.  Distributing flyers in large parking lots on car windshields is a great way to get a lot of flyers out there quickly. Canvas specific neighborhoods and go with a friend to hand out flyers to everyone you see.  In your own neighborhood you may even want to go door to door.

Be prompt and get your flyers out on time for the events. Don't let your clients down and you'll build a strong and reliable reputation for your Flyer Distribution Services... and make some great money in the process!
