Pick & Pack
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
A lot of people always hit me up about starting a business while they maintain their plantation job. The answer I always give them is Pick & Pack. You want a business product so small and finished that all you have to do is pick it up and pack it in a bubble wrap mailer and drop that shit in the mail. If you can find the right product to do just that you’re going to be a millionaire.
Since I am at the post office everyday I get good game from the Postal Workers who tell me about all the other people who push products. One cat seems to be fixing Iphones with a vengence, while another cat is refilling ink cartridges and yet another cat is selling a recipie book! Now me I’m in there on Operation push a Book too so it’s all the same. But, the postal worker told me that it’s all that seems to be going out are these 6×9 bubble mailer packages with everything in them.
So I decided to hook all of you cat’s up with the where for when you do finally get that product.
- RoyalMailers.com – By far the cheapest place to buy Bubble Mailers for like 14 cents a pop or less. Usually in Staples you’re paying $15 for 10!
- Elmers Glue – Why pay for special labels when you can use regular paper and use Elmers Glue to put the label on. You can buy like 2 gallons of that shit for 3 bucks.
So find something small and easy to pack in a mailer envelope. SHIT if you can sell something digitally you really win as you don’t have to be around for it. But, since the digital age isn’t 100% right now you’ll have to send something.
Sit down, investigate and find you that small product to push. I don’t care if you make decorative coasters, Barretts & Balls for little girls or stainless steel cigarette holders like the 20′s. The best way to start is to Pick & Pack because you don’t have time for customer service as you just want to collect the dough!
Extra: Believe me you’ll enjoy making money from just dropping things in the mail. As things take off you’ll get tired of it but by the time you get tired you’ll be sitting on a couple racks! Man I used to work for a guy who had a whole bunch of little shit selling out of a warehouse from Snow Scrapers to American Flags. All we did was pick the order and pack it in a small box and that cat was a millionaire.

Right on the spot! At least 3 times a week I am dropping a package into the mail before work and it feels great!
Also you might be able to find some for bubble mailers cheaper on ebay.
I never thought of ebay but .14 cents is pretty cheap plus it’s free shipping and handling so I can’t beat that.
Making that drop off dough is always the best way to go. It’s like handing out papers and going back to your desk. The Post Office takes care of everything. Besides digital downloads it’s the next best angle.
Nice article who do you go to for book binding? My girl is writer and wants to design the cover for the book then have the person print and bind the book.
Great post, Freeman! I’ve definitely been marinating a hustle just like this recently.
Sounds like a nice way to get extra ends without having to put in a ton of work. Now, you just gotta find that product.
@Rio – Email me on backchannels!
@JP – This is how you start your angle to bigger money. You can’t go cold turkey on the plantation job so you have to do something that really doesnt’ fvck up your day.
@Young H – That’s where you have to ante up some chips and try some shit out. Products are being sold but we don’t want to put 50 behind it and see what happens. You’ll fail 10 times but the 1 time you won’t will make up all the money you lost.
You can’t win if you don’t play!
urm- What do you sell
DF- yea when I was in the post office a lot for ebay I’d see people come in with like 20 boxes daily. I follow this blog of some dude who is a millionaire too all from e-commerce. He has like 10 different sites all selling small things like you describe.
It’s the game and no one would really be able to tell what you sell. People don’t really understand MONEY so they can only see it in big ass terms. But, when you get in the game you’ll be surprised how many people are making a million on the low with ice scrapers.
We just have to keep trying our products until one of them hits. Then when it hits we quietly bubble on the low and gradually move out of a Sucker’s eyesight.
