DUI and DWI Humiliation Programs

Given the huge number of DUI and DWI's around America, there seems to be opportunity for creative local entrepreneurial solutions. Austin, Texas appears to have an unusually bad problem with DUI and DWI offenders, with DWI attorneys and DUI attorneys paying top dollar for online ads.

These DUI and DWI offenders are a criminal justice conundrum. Their problem is more bad judgment and chemical addiction than criminal intent. However, they are endangering us all, and when they do hurt people or property they must pay the price.

Unfortunately, our prison and jail system is also overloaded, and creative alternative punishments DUI / DWI offenders are needed to ease the overcrowding burden.

I suspect one could build a private business based on punishing and rehabilitating DUI and DWI offenders. The punishments could include the company supervising offenders in public cleanup efforts while wearing bright yellow jumpers identifying their crime. The company could offer some of the best counseling techniques, GPS-bracelets to track offenders going into bars, and selling and installing those breathalyser ignition systems into offender cars.

Develop a local business that addresses the punishment and rehabilitation problems of DUI and DWI offenders, and you will likely soon win municipal contracts from grateful criminal justice systems.

Especially if you live in Austin, Texas.

Reselling multi-level marketing products on eBay

If you are an employee or know an employee of one of those MLM (multi-level marketing) companies like Avon, Mary Kay, Melaleuca, Jerky Direct, etc. you are in luck with a side income opportunity.

Those MLM businesses always have artificially high prices. They lock customers into contracts to purchase a minimum amount of product each month. They sell to fewer customers, but the ones who do buy happen to purchase the minimum amount and that carries the company business model.

Take Melaleuca, for instance. They sell $4 soap bars! They even call them "gold bars".

MLM companies like these do not sell in retail stores, because their products are commodities on retail shelves, and in commodities it is a race to the bottom.

Employees of these companies, who do orders, work in IT, the customer service representatives, usually get monthly product checks that give those employees a set amount of the product to buy each month. The MLM companies do this for two reasons: to provide a cheap bonus, and because most employees would not pay for these overpriced items and it sounds bad when customers call in and the employees have not tried any of the products.

So anyways, employees usually get sick of the products fairly quick.

Instead those employees should take the most popular products bought on their bonus checks, and eBay them. They can easily undercut the MLM prices, and it's all profit to the employees anyways.
