start a guerilla marketing outfit.
you can start with your friend all you have to do is shitpost on forums about the topic the client wants, like the newest smartphone the point is not to look like a shill you can even bash it or get an argument about it with each other the point is you have to juggle a couple of hundred well built personas and accounts and make waves about products.

as you get some money in you can hire additional staff and start managing instead of shitposting yourself.

good idea!

who would hire or would you go free lance lol do you judt ring a company "Hello Microsoft, we are a guerilla marketing firm monies me"?

I was thinking of a cafe or something but there is a lot of competition

i'm only familiar with the work they do not how they get the business but i imagine you can try sanding e-mails out and sending a promo material about how you do your thing and what kind of results they can expect.
huge companies like sony work with the big boys but not everyone can afford them.
you could offer your services to local businesses for starters.

>there is a lot of competition

Absolutely right. Only way to make it is to be a criminal; you'll never make it by being honest.

we also thought of themed weekends or events like murder mystery

Why would 'spooky' premise holders hire a middleman? Also your market is limited to those gullible enough to waste good money on a ghost hunt.

We thought rent an area or old offices and setting up maybe monster themed nights with staff/actors

You have 30k, 2 dedicated, business minded men, and all you lack is an idea. Let me break it to you OP, the BEST thing you can do with that start up capital of 30k is rent a big warehouse, buy shit in bulk, for example, last week I bought 5000 solid doors for 1k, and sold them for 35k. Look for good deals and snatch em.

so become a wholesaler? I know of a few auctions where I get cheap wares where did you get yours from straight from the makers?

>>1163416
Direct from suppliers

>>1163417
>suppliers
how would you go about getting the suppliers? do you just ring or e-mail do you need a licence or what?

>>1163417
I can only find suppliers that want to deal in ridiculous quantity

Sounds like a novelty. Who exactly do you think this would appeal to enough for you to get a steady enough income to
a) pay your employees
b) pay the rent of the office
c) make a profit
