I was paid a penny a newspaper to deliver it and delivered 150 newspapers on my route. Then at the end of the month I would go out and ask the people I delivered it to if they wanted to pay for the paper it was 25 cents.
Out of the 25 cents I received 12 cents of that a long with the penny a paper every time I threw it. That wasn’t bad money in those days, but I did hate to go collect the money for the free paper, some people would get very unset at being asked for the quarter, they would say I didn’t order the paper and I’m not paying for the paper. We would then say the payment is voluntary.
I then started my own new marketing plan, I hired smaller kids to make the collection for me and paid them. No one could refuse to pay a nice looking little kid looking up at them with those big eyes.
