How to Sell Hot Dogs - A Simple Explanation
If you are curious about how to sell hot dogs, you've come to the right place. This is a surprisingly lucrative business opportunity that many people overlook because it's not very "glamorous." It may come as a surprise to you, but did you know that Americans consume over 18 billion of these delicious meals in a year? That is on average at least 50 million being sold per day!
What more is needed to convince you of the earning potentials of this career path? The evidence speaks for itself, so I've included some simple yet effective tips on your marketing and sales strategy, and how to offer food and drinks that will provide a high, steady income stream.
Here are 4 tips on how to sell hot dogs effectively.
Location, location, location
Where you set up your cart is crucial, because in the food industry, volume is everything. You're not an employee; you don't get paid by the hour just for sitting around. Whether or not you can choose a good location is often the make or break in hot dog sales.
Select a location carefully by observing the amount of traffic and customers such as outside parks, in a theme park, near office buildings and even within construction sites. These are the hottest places to get maximum earnings as a food vendor, plus many customers will be paying you in cash, avoid credit card fees.
Selective working hours
Now you're probably thinking to yourself, selective working hours? What does that have to do with how to sell hot dogs? My answer is: everything. Fortunately for you, a food vendor does not have to work 8 straight hours a day. All they have to do is ensure that their hot dog cart is available during the busiest time periods where people search for food.
This includes breakfast hours from 7.30 till 9.30 in the morning, lunch hours from 11.30 till 2 in the afternoon and dinner from 5 till 7.30 in the evening. If you take breaks in between, a full workday for you is not much longer than 7 hours a day, unlike the 8,9, and 10-hour workdays expected in corporate America.

8 Ways to Be Less Allergic to Dogs
Are you one of those terribly unfortunate people who love dogs but have allergies? Maybe you love dogs, and do not have allergies to them, but your new boyfriend or girlfriend does and you would like to move in together. Or maybe a visiting relative has come who is allergic to dogs and you can not put your dog in boarding for a month. There are lots of things you can do so that someone with an allergy to dogs can live in the same house with a dog. Here are just a few ideas.
1) Designate "No-Dog" Zones
Pick a few rooms of your house or apartment where your dog is no longer allowed to go. The best and first choice should be the allergic person's bedroom. Do whatever you have to do -- put up a baby gate, keep the door closed, whatever- to keep the dog out of the room at all times, even when the allergic person is not there. Giving your allergic guest (or partner) a dog-free room will help a lot with keeping their symptoms down. If possible, do keep the door closed and if you have central heat, or vents between rooms, block off the vents to the dog-free areas. Also designate "dog-free" seating so your allergic guest does not have to recline back into dog hair.
2) Get some HEPA air filters or air ionizers
These high-tech filters can pull pet dander out of the air and will reduce the overall amount of air-borne particles in the house. With fewer irritants, the less your allergic guest's nose will have to get inflamed about.
3) Get a HEPA vacuum cleaner - and vacuum a lot
There are vacuums made specifically for people with allergies. Get one. Use it at least twice a week. Change the filter as often as necessary. It will make a big difference.
4) Get rid of carpets and upholstery
This is an expensive request, but if you just can not live without your dog or your allergic partner, seriously consider having all carpets removed and replaced with tile. Carpets are sinks for pet dander, as is cloth upholstery. Switching to leather furniture will significantly reduce the pet dander in the house.
5) Wash both the person and the dog regularly
The person should wash their face and/or hands every time they touch the dog (a hassle, yes, but it is very effective). The dog should get a bath at least once a week. This can make all the difference, and if you're having someone over who is allergic to dogs, just washing the dog and doing a good vacuuming job before they arrive may be enough to minimize the reaction. If not, one Benadryl will reduce or block the allergy symptoms, though you may have a sleepy guest.
6) Try products specifically made to reduce dog allergens
You can get wet-wipes called Allerpet D for Dogs that will significantly reduce the allergens given off. The results are temporary, but they will work for an overnight guest. There are also sprays you can buy that purportedly deactivate pet allergens.
7) Reduce clutter
If you have fewer things in your house, there are fewer places for dog allergens to accumulate.
8) Air out the house
If it is a nice day out, and its not allergy season, definitely open up those windows, get a cross breeze going, and blow out all that dog dander.
