Financing Ideas
Crop Sales
- Produce fast growing crops that have relatively high value in the open market. One video mentioned sale of lettuce.
Sale of fruit or nuts (or saplings?)
- Much has been said about propagating fruit vines and trees. What of these? What of selling the saplings?
Hiring out the CEB
- Using the CEB, get a work crew together to build CEB structures for others and earn profit that way?
Auction the construction and delivery of Life-Trac
- On Craig's list or ebay, begin selling life-trac using online 'auction' sites.
Barter
- Identify nearby business members who have XYZ table (this seems to be an important phase of the Factor E model) and barter for usage of table in exchange for X product or service from Factor E.
Geodesic kits
- Lots of these out there already but the margin can be very good if there is access to scrap metal nearby.
Chicken nursery starter kits
- Build an incubator that can be resold.
Solar Panels on Helistat Stands
- There's a video of a woman assembling a solar panel from cells. Sell a panel with a heliostat. Build to order so that there is no 'initial investment'. Delivery time: one week
- two days to get cells
- one day to assemble
- one day for testing
- deliver
