Greeting Card Hustle
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
Now you can write love letters on your cards and I’m sure they would work. Everyone I know spends tons and tons of time looking for the perfect card but I have yet to meet someone with enough Hustle to make one made to order. I mean someone who will find out what that person is trying to say and put that in the card. I love this Hustle for a lot of you artsy poetry writing sucker for love brothers who know how to put sugar on stuff. Now just because I think it’s a sweet Hustle doesn’t mean it won’t make money.
Setup:
- Purchase or download a computer greeting card program. These programs have preset greeting card templates, allowing you to choose your own clip art and personalize a greeting.
-
If you have your photos scanned or developed onto a disk, check the disk for bonus clip art or graphics programs. Companies such as Kodak and Adobe offer free trial or limited edition versions of their greeting card programs on these disks.
-
Check your scanner software for a greeting card or printing program. Many scanners have these programs bundled onto their setup disks.
-
Visit shareware or freeware sites that allow you to try out or download programs for free. If you want a basic greeting card program you may find just what they’re available for free
Parlay: I know I would buy one if you catered it towards Men trying to impress women. I don’t have the time nor the creativity to write letters so I usually cop out and go to Walgreens to get something.
- Make it a personal service that cats can tell you what they want to say probably online.
- Setup a full delivery service where they can approve the card and you’ll send it out for them.
- Setup a service where you will send them out on every holiday for them if they pay for that service.
- Keep your prices just above the price they would pay for at the Drugstore (within 30%)
I know some of you crafty folk can do this on your computer but for the rest of us we aren’t going to do it ever. I would love a service that would send birthday cards to all of my family automatically. I would love a service that had some ready made love letters or cards that I can get sent to a girl for some points. If you are creative like this I think this is a simple hustle to execute and a very low buy in.

i LOVE this idea! i can write all this sentimental stuff and to send it out automatically for clients is the best part :~)
If I had this talent I would take a shot at this Hustle. I think a website where you sign up and program the dates of your family special days would be a niche. Also, if the same service can write special custom letters for sorry boyfriends like me then it would be worth a couple of bucks.
well next time u have a problem, let me know i’ll write u suttin for FREE! lol
Do you think they’d have to be niche or customized cards? (african american cards, cards with the name of the intended in the print) Cards are really cheap and you can pick them up quickly at any drugstore. I’ve bought some $2 that have wooed a few hearts and helped “seal the deal.”
@Keish – Don’t worry usually the truth works more than trying to get someone else. I’ll keep you in mind whenever I want to lie about how deep I am though. LOL
@TrueMan – I like customized because anyone can make a print but only a few can say the right thing. This is such a easy entry level hustle that someone has to be on top of content and delivery. Like you said 2 bucks means you have to deliver something that makes people think it’s worth it. Just like a car detailer makes more money than a regular car wash so is this hustle. The money is in the details in the concept and content.
The whole thing can be made with 1 buck and a stamp. So the hustle is so easy to execute you have to differentiate yourself from the crap they sell at Walgreens.
FreeMan: Thanks for these hustles sir. You are ahead of your time, and we are fortunate to have you lacing us.

I don’t know about ahead of my time but I appreciate the accolades. Cats got a lot of talents that can make money they just have to channel them for a use that people actually want.
