I am really getting excited about this. I have been researching it. Spy, didn't mean to exlude all working gals! I think I might work on a small group of moms around here who have graduating seniors....offer to help them with the hustle and bustle of end of year stuff. See how that goes first.

Annie, maybe make up a questionnaire and have people list things/chores they would like to get done and at what price. Maybe even do that here. But come up with a list (cuz some people might only list one or two things, but if they thought about it or saw something, they might pay for that one.) ETA: I have been very sick the last few days and the drugs are making me woosey so I hopet his makes sense...

Get licensed, bonded and if possible...fingerprinted. This will help your business. Oh, and become a notary!

Annie, just my opinion, but the flyer was kind of hard to read. I took it and rearranged the wording, hope you don't mind.

I figured out how to do it! LOL That was awesome. I swear I am losing my mind. I used to do PR presentations for a living but for the life of me, I kept looking at that flier and couldn't think of how to lay it out...that's why I need to be an errand runner! LOL

Another service that I would love to pay for is airport drop off/pick up. I live in Los Angeles and it takes about 45 minutes to get to the airport, parking is around 9-10 dollars a day, it takes forever to wait for the shuttles from parking to the airport, and then from the airport to parking. I don't want to lose any friends by asking them to take me and pick me up, but I also don't like to pay a taxi or SuperShuttle the outrageous prices. Maybe a price that is still within your set hourly rate, but less than that of a taxi or shuttle would be possible on occasion.

I considered that too, but with gas and our our airports aren't real close to me either, so not sure if I would make any money.

Texannie, you might want to contact big apartment complexes in your area. Where I live, there is a monthly newsletter for events happening here, plus advertisements for various business people in the area. That way, you could get a huge client list all in one delivery area. For example, I used Albertsons.com (for online grocery shopping and delivery) just a couple of weeks ago for the first time. The delivery man told me delivers to many people in this complex. However, remember that your deliveries, most likely,will encounter heavy lifting. That might be a problem. I would love to have someone do errands like going to the post office. However, I wouldn't be willing to pay someone too much for the service.
