Something Better... Than Leasing a Store
Have you ever walked in a mall and seen a vacant store unit, and begun to daydream about what you would like to sell there if you should lease that space?
Would you think, "Hey, I could set up a little bookstore and sell cookbooks!"
Or would it be, "Kitchen gadgets! I'm always looking to buy kitchen gadgets, and appliances, and some of the best ones are hard to find or have to be imported. That's what I would sell!"
It is such fun to daydream like that. But do we rush to find the administrative offices of the mall and sign the lease papers in the next week or two? Not likely. Because we know that for sure, it would eat up a lot of our time. We simply don't have that kind of time in our lives. Unless, of course, you are between jobs or careers and really looking for a new full-time commitment to such a venture.
Maybe you want to adjust this daydreaming to finding the perfect mall where everything you want is available, and at rock bottom prices. Better still, if you didn't have to walk such long distances between your favorite shops - now that would be a delight!
Psst. Let me tell you where to find that mall.
In fact, I know where you can sort'a own a mall with over 1000 stores! I promise you - no lease papers to sign or pay up!
Some of these are popping up that charge you a monthly fee of $29.95, but I've found one that is free to sign up for, (and in no time you'll feel like you own it).
How does it work?
Well, let's say you want to buy some cookbooks for your compulsive bedtime reading habit. I go to my mall address online, MyPowerMall, and I put "cookbooks" into the information booth blank. Up comes a notice that I'll find them under the sections; Books/CD/DVD - Misc -> Books -> General books.
Food & Drink -> Gourmet
Food & Drink - > Groceries
So I go for the first category, and sub-categories, in moments I discover and at Book Closeouts.com* (when I right-click and open a new tab on my Firefox) I discover "The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook (Volume One)" by Kitty and Lucian Maynard, for $5.99, which is 74% off from the regular price, $22.99. Whoa! What a deal!
Another shop called bookbyte.com* has less of a discount but thousands of cookbooks to choose from.
Now if you "own" this MyPowerMall and decide to purchase from these stores, you would later get a rebate of 7% for each purchase.
Going back to the mall's main page, we can check out Food & Drink, and the sub-menu for Gourmet... Ah, here we come to Hickory Farms*, and find they are having their annual Barn sale with 50%. You can also get 15% off your entire order if you enter the provided code number. All this besides your mall rebate of 7%? My - oh -my!
Are you addicted to chocolates? You'll want to see the chocolatesource.com* shop, and if you are a teas devotee, you'll be intrigued by all you find at adigio.com*
Okay, maybe you can't afford gourmet things just now. Let's turn back and look for groceries.
Hmmm.. one online grocery store for the greater Philadelphia metro area, Genuardis.com*
But let me tell you a secret that Ginny Dye, the Founder and CEO of MyPowerMall has shared with those of us who own a mall already. She's working on a new PowerMall debit card, that allows you to tank up your account for it with cash, and then you can go grocery shopping with the debit card, and get your great mall rebates afterwards. When the debit card account runs low, you can transfer money into it again, and go shopping - again and again! This means you can get deep-deep discounts and rebates even from stores that are not part of the huge official MyPowerMall system.
If you only want to go shopping for yourself, and get the larger rebate checks, you want to sign up for the Personal Mall at MyPowerMall. If you'd like to recruit others and get a small percentage of their profits too, then you want to sign up for the Business Mall at the same address.
Remember, if you choose the Business Mall you want to commit some time to spreading the word about this and treating it like a business venture that can pay you a handsome return as time passes.
There's really so much more to this, but I suggest you go to this link and listen to Ginny explain it. She has all the answers down pat. :)
