Publishing is the life blood of internet marketing. I
discovered this when I WROTE A Little 37
Page book called Modern Day Flea Marketing-Fun and
Money tips that Could Make You Rich. Why did
I choose such a title? I choose this title because I was
fond of watching other people working
at their booths at flea Markets and making money on
everything from A to Z.

They were selling old items, used items, new items and Plain junk. Other
people were selling food and beverages such as Hot
dogs, burgers, sausages, fries and pickles. Most markets
are open only on weekends- Saturday
and Sunday-which are high volume traffic days. Most
booth operators/dealers are very friendly and
like to talk. They are open information sources for
anyone that will listen- I listened. As a results,
I collected A lot of insider information for my book from
the conversations that I had with them.

The group as a whole is a like-minded community. On the
other hand, however, things can go sour and
get very ugly at some of these flea market week-end
events.
Here is the greatest part of this story. First I observed
the market place. Next I got to know a
lot of the owners, dealers, and booth operators. One day
I got laid off of my job. I Looked for A
long time and could not find one. My bills piled up. My
car got repossessed.
My mortgage got behind for four or five months and my
home was going into foreclosure in a week or two.
I became depressed. I remember the morning that I had
to push myself very hard to get out of bed. It
was a raining , cold and dreary morning. I felt confused,
worthless and in despair. it was hard lying
their trying to justify my reason to get to face another
uncertain difficult day with no money in my
pocket and had borrowed way over my limited from
family and friends.
Eventually, I got out of bed and started thinking back
and forth. I though about how and what could
I do to get myself out of this awful place. i sat down at
my desk and looked around and the thought hit
me like a ton of bricks. I remembered all those
conversations that i had had with Flea Market Owners
and literally had seen them counting thousands of dollars
when i would sometime go in their office to pay
my booth rent.

This is what I said to myself next – I can do this. I am
going to open up a flea Market of my own. Then
I though about where and how am I going to do this. I
don’t have any money to lease a bulding or to
lease a lot for my market. Then I though for a second or
two. I can write up a partnership proposal
and submit it to every land lord in the seven city area of
the location in which I live.
Here is the amazing part of my story. I written a one and
a half page partnership proposal in about 1-1/2
hours on the same morning of my deep and dark despair.
Next I went to the copy place and made about 100
copies to start distributing to everyone that owned some
property or a lot that might suit the purpose I
would need for my market. I got my copies and got back
in the car, sat down behind the wheel and became
nullified, when I asked myself where and who I am I
going to start with. I took a deep breath and regain
my composure and just started driving down the road. I
told myself that now that I am out here I have to
keep going at any cost. I drove on down the road and
came to a big building with a large paved parking
lot. I GRABED ONE OF MY PROPOSALS OFF the front seat
after I had parked and went inside to talk to the owner.
I told him what my game plan was and he agreed to it on
the spot. When I walked out the door I breathes a big
sigh of relief and headed to city hall to get my business
license. The Following week-end I open I made over
$2500.00. On the week-ends after, I made enough to
pay off all of my bills. This experience served me so well
that I wrote my first book on the subject and
subsequently became a publisher of many about my
other experiences in my life so that others may learn about to
help them to overcome challenges that they face
in their lives.
