Well - Let's examine each of the top fields and then you can decide and begin working these areas, OK?
The following fields represent perhaps the easiest and most lucrative to enter. As you read this post, be particularly aware that whether you enter just one field or have an interest in many, the key word to remember is "KNOWLEDGE". As mentioned in my eBook, "Striking Gold in the Finder's Fees Business", you will need to bone up on your reading of your interest.
There is plenty of money to be made in this business and the highly aggressive and astute entrepreneur will reap the harvest. On that note, let's proceed.
COMMODITIES & MINERALS:
What are commodities? Look around you. Corn, wheat, rice, scrap steel, orange juice, canned goods, distressed computer merchandise, cell phones, etc. etc. etc. Canned foods of all kinds, because of their natural preservation qualities, make up a consistently good market. Scrap steel is growing and will continue to grow due to the recycling efforts of conscientious Americans. Way back in the early 1970's, Platinum was enjoying a big demand, due to being one of the best catalysts for anti-pollution devices. Even today, Platinum is a valuable commodity. Mercury remains strong in demand and metals such as lead, zinc, and copper are strong contenders. Nickel, overall, enjoys strong demand.
OK! So how do you start in commodities and minerals? The same way you start in on anything else; through KNOWLEDGE. The New York Mercantile Exchange contains tons of information. Also, the American Association of Commodity Traders is an excellent source. If your interest is in pure commodities, such as pork bellies, corn, wheat, etc., look through the library for the trade organizations and also the Chicago Exchange addresses in this field. Energy fuels such as crude oil, butane, and propane are markets for huge profits for the astute finder.
PRECIOUS & SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES:
Despite the ups and downs in the world's supply of Diamonds, this is a very good field to deal in as a finder. For example, in 2012, a New York couple collected a Finder's Fee of $80,000 on a single sale of precious stones from Brazil to a buyer in Reno, Nevada. The transactions continued and earned this couple an average yearly income of $45,000 for the next 3 years. Opals, which have been appreciating steadily in value at a rate of 10% - 15% per year, in recent years, are another of the precious; semi-precious stones markets worth looking into. Emeralds and rubies also score high in this market.
When you enter the semi-precious stones market, you are getting into the biggest volume, fastest turnover market in this category. The main reason for this is mass market. The bottom line is, how many people around the world can afford diamonds, emeralds, and rubies? Think about it. Big markets are developing in Jade, Tiger Eyes (from Taiwan or Hong Kong), Garnet, Topaz, and Tourmaline. The astute finder can take in millions of dollars in this field alone. This is an excellent field to enter.
COLLECTOR'S ITEMS & ANTIQUES:
There are many collector's items of indeterminable value sitting up there in attics and basements throughout the USA, postage stamps of high denomination, any kind of product made out of a special kind of material that is now extinct. Despite the high rate of transience of the American public, treasures in truck and trash are everywhere. Antiques is a great area to pursue. The value of an 1875 roll-top desk, imported hand-carved furniture from the Victorian era, firearms of the old west will amaze you.
If you walk down any street in any old section of town (pre -1910 built homes) and enter the premises, you'd find a small fortune in valuables of which the owner did not even know the worth in at least 20% of the homes. Try this for starters: Place classified ads in such magazines and newspapers such as Grit Magazine, Cappers Magazine, and the many other farm periodicals. The reason being, you will want to reach the old homestead market. Read more in "Striking Gold in the Finder's Fees Business" on how you can place small cheap ads in these magazines.
REAL ESTATE & FINANCING:
Let's face it....... The Real Estate field has got to be the biggest and best paying areas of the entire finder's fee arena. This is where the big bucks can be attained if pursued properly. Many successful finders have earned fees of $100,000 to $1,000,000 and more on just one transaction such as the purchase, sale or financing of large shopping centers, industrial complexes, high-rise apartments and office buildings, 100,000 acre plus ranches.
Right now there is a huge need for people just like you to find properties for investors who are TOO BUSY to be locating properties on their own! There is a huge need for "Finders" who can find lucrative cash flow property deals for investors. The quick and easy way to get involved in this business is to be a "finder" for a specific and designated investor or investment group.
That's right and the trick, obviously, is to "hook up" with an investor or investment group (or with many investors) and start locating properties that fit into your investor's criteria. Many investors are actively looking for under-performing properties, REOs, and cash flowing properties in specific areas of the country. Commercial Real estate is HOT!. You can earn up to 5% on Finder's Fees when you close these deals. I open the lid in this field in my eBook, "Striking Gold in the Finder's Fees Business".
MANUFACTURER'S REPS:
Independent manufacturer's representatives throughout the country are constantly looking for new products to complement their lines. Once you have built adequate cross-reference files from several of the other major categories, you will have the match-ups with which to approach them.
The Manufacturer's Agent's Guide lists more than 12,000 manufacturer's representatives in the U.S. and Canada. Visit http://www.themaa.co.uk/
CUSTOM MANUFACTURING:
Custom manufacturing is another good area to exploit. We have run ads in our monthly newsletter, "Worldwide Business Connection" from a variety of manufacturers offering Finder's Fees for those finding users for their facilities. These range from cosmetics compounding and packaging, to laminating, to structural steel fabrication, and just about every other type of manufacturing, engineering and warehousing help in between. The classified section of the Sunday New York Times, under "Manufacturing Facilities Offered" is an especially good source of leads.
SPECIALTY MAIL ORDER COMPANIES:
The catalog houses are always looking for new products to market. This is a very good field to enter. It is enormous. From the hundreds of national firms that put out those small 10-100 page catalogs to the big guys like, Sears, and Macy's. In conclusion, through reading, studying, and researching the various trade, business, and specialty magazines, the astute finder can amass a conscientious printout of hundreds of "match-up" possibilities that can earn him very lucrative fees.
Remember, "If you read, you succeed; if you snooze, you lose." Act by acting. Do by doing. And don't stop short of success. As I said earlier, "Among peers,this is the easiest business in the world!"
There are plenty more fields to work in and these are further detailed in our eBook, "Striking Gold in the Finder's Fees Business". So - Let's Get Busy!
To Your Wealth,
