Kiosks

You might have seen commercials on cable about various sorts of kiosks that you can buy and set up to make money. One that I saw a while back was advertising public Internet access sites that you can place in businesses such as malls. Another one that I saw online was a DVD rental kiosk.
Use caution when considering these, just as you would with any other business opportunities. It sounds like easy money with a legitimate investment, but it’s quite possible that many of these deals could be too good to be true. I have heard horror stories about people who ordered and paid for their kiosks, only to receive faulty equipment and no support for it.
Are there legitimate kiosk companies? I’m sure there are. I can’t say that I know from experience, because I’ve never had the cash to invest in them to find out. But as always, you must do your homework before giving them your hard-earned cash. Check them out with the BBB, and do general online searches of the company’s name and the names of people at the top. I have also heard tales of the companies giving prospective buyers names of supposed satisfied customers as references, only for them to turn out to be paid to sell you on it. So seek out opinions on your own if at all possible.
