New Folio Ideas

:: Home » Library » Home Based Business Ideas Part 1

Over the past two or three years, I have been jotting down ideas
for folios that could be developed and sold by mail.

I'm now printing the whole list for your use.

I honestly feel that any idea on this list could be marketed by
mail, if a person had the ambition and integrity to develop it.

You are free to use any idea on this list.

I have not checked to see if any of the titles are copyrighted.

If they have, simply create a new title.

Also, you are free to change the titles around to suit your own
situation.

For example, "Summer Jobs in London" could become "Summer Jobs in
Barcelona".

Good luck to you!
