How to make a lot of money

Recently I came across an advertisement that they are looking for flyer distributors for the summer. 500 flyers – 300 rubles. This is exactly a company that sticks up ads for various firms, so you can take several types at once and put up several ads on a building entrance. Our city isn’t very large – about 160 houses. About 50 of them are private, we don’t count those. The other 110 are multi‑apartment. Mostly we have buildings with 5‑10 entrances. Let’s take 7 as an average. Since the city is small, you can comfortably cover it in 4 hours, going into each courtyard. So in 4 hours I can cover 770 entrances and paste 770 flyers. That comes out to 462 rubles per day for one type of flyer. But! I can carry several types. 770 A5 sheets would weigh at most 2 kg, and that’s if they are thick. But fine, let’s assume the company ordering the advertising decided to spend a lot of money on good quality. 10 kg, and I can still carry that easily in a bag; my school backpack weighs more. So for a day that’s 770 flyers of 5 types. That’s 3 850 flyers and 2 310 rubles. Per day! Okay, let’s assume I take Saturday and Sunday off. So for June (in July I go to a camp, and in August to relatives) that’s 22 working days. 50 820 rubles! About 17‑something thousand dollars! Just so you understand – for my family (5 people) to fly to New York, visit more than 20 sights and stay two weeks in the cheapest hotel (visa, food, internet, etc. I calculated that too) would cost 10 100 rubles! The same with Turkey! Moreover you can get there by car through countries that don’t require a visa! In the end, getting to Antalya and staying there for two weeks would cost only about 2 000 rubles! To Paris by car for two weeks with visas, hotel, sights, food – 7 000 rubles! To China, in Hangzhou? With 5 000 you can quite comfortably vacation, with more than 30 attractions! To the Black Sea in Arkhipo‑Osipovka? Practically pennies! Also you can comfortably spend a few thousand there! 

Well, I understand that it’s unlikely to be that simple and most probably it’s impossible. And in general, if everything worked like that, everyone would simply become a flyer distributor, but… The very fact that it could be possible is enough.

Right now I'm recovering after... another fiasco. On the fly I’m unlikely to consider the reality of this job posting.

I had some old calculations somewhere. At least you'll have something to start from.

Where's that miracle cherry for April 29, 2024...

I also liked the calculations about time)

I looked at the calculations... Remembered myself in my youth)) And I honestly planned to buy lamborghini diablo!))
Well, not about that,

Útost Alronbem​, you wrote correctly, try just walking the whole route, go into each entrance. And also don't forget, there are such nasty little people like me, who don't like any advertising in mailboxes, and we often chase away flyer distributors. See how much time it will take you and how much effort. 

But in general, the drive to work, it's wonderful!

I took the cherry from the cherry tree.

There is this amusing program for note-taking. A sort of Confluence of a Spanish (?) pauper.

I've been keeping notes in it for about four years for all occasions.
