    Alana, which ones didn’t work for your kids? You know, a lot depends on the effort that you put into it. These are not get rich quick schemes. some of the suggestions mentioned above are ideas that can be developed into business. And like anything else, you have to put a lot of effort and time into it before you efforts start to produce fruit.

    So how would one go about making a neighborhood newsletter? It seems like a great idea, but do I start going door to door and giving them the papers or do I just put them in front of the door..?
