AFTERTHOUGHTS:
Didn't have a chance to do a whole lot today. I woke up at about 7am and broke down our finances for the next three months... Need to generate some extra income!

I'll be putting together a few yellow bandit sign designs tonight. I had a marketing idea yesterday and would love to get some feedback on this!

THE IDEA:
Take a yellow "We Buy Houses" sign and have it say at the bottom, "And Support the Homeless." Guess who will be holding the signs?

I thought about having a couple of metal clips at the bottom which would allow them to hang their sign too... Maybe? This would prevent code from taking the signs down =)

I'm not sure how much I would pay them, but depending on the corner they stand maybe $20-$50/wk.

I would want to give them a welcome pack of some sort which may contain a new toothbrush & toothpaste, comb/brush, backpack, bottled water, socks, and a few t-shirts.

If we get a sale from one of the signs then we could take a portion of the proceeds and put it towards a health check up, food, hygiene, or something else that the homeless helper needs.

Thoughts?
