Even if you get them installed they will not make you money. There is no advertising which was the big money maker, you have to purchase merchant accounts and a pay phone license in most states. There are many hidden cost and people don't even use the machine, it is merely a computer with a payphone!

#2 Consumer Suggestion

I tried telling the victims that six months ago. But, they never listen to anyone.

AUTHOR: Paul - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, June 24, 2005

Instead, the called me loser, liar, and scumbag for trying to keep them from throwing more of their money down the drain.

One guy insisted that I have to be working for pantheon. Imagine that. Here I am telling him not to spend any more money. And, he insists that I'm with the company.

Finally, I just sat back and let them all chase their tails trying to hook up their stupid internet machines.

You see, I used to be a truck driver. I saw these internet kiosks in truck stops. People used them as extra chairs. Very few actually ever used the service.

It costs $100 a month to run the machine. You make $30 of that back. Great business, huh?

I'll tell you, with some of these scams, you're a lot better off to sit back and say nothing to the victims.

They'll have to learn on their own. Or not.

Questions & Answers

Is this business right for me?
Because you can buy as many or as few machines as you like, this business is right for a wide range of people. A full time employee, student, housewife or retiree can, through the purchase of a small number of machines, supplement their income with only a small time commitment. On the other hand, an entrepreneur looking to get out of the 9-5 daily grind and be the master of their own destiny can, with more machines, begin a full-time business.

Where can my EZLINK terminals be located?
An EZ-LINK terminal can be located anywhere people spend time: in airports, on campuses, in supermarkets, train stations, salons and shopping malls, amusement parks, casinos, banks, mail and copy stores, bars, Laundromats, hotelsANYWHERE! An easier question might be where can't my EZLINK terminals be located?

How are locations chosen?
As the owner of the machine, you can, of course, place it anywhere you choose. Knowing that the location of the machine is so important to its success, however, EZ-LINK Inc. will be actively involved in helping you find great locations in your area.

Why will a location owner agree to place an EZLINK terminal on their property?
Businesses make decisions based upon their bottom line. Since there will be no cost to the location owner to house your terminal, yet they will receive a percentage of the profits, an EZLINK terminal is good for their bottom line. Additionally, it will drive more traffic to their location. Once a person is in a location to use a machine, they will often also purchase something from the location.

Why will someone use my EZLINK terminal?
In today's world there never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish all that needs to be done.
People will use EZLINK terminals so they can accomplish more in less time. By using an EZLINK terminal, people can turn waiting times into work or play times.

Why will an advertiser want to showcase their product on my EZLINK terminal?
The key to successful advertising is reaching the target market. That is what makes the EZLINK terminal an attractive advertising option. Advertisements can be tailored to the location of the machine. For example, a machine in an airport would be a perfect fit for advertisements of local attractions and restaurants. Whereas, a machine in a grocery store would be a perfect fit for a product for sale in the store.

How much time will I need to spend on this business?
The time commitment associated with your business will be dependent on how many machines you purchase. As opposed to many other vending machine businesses, there is nothing to restock, which allows for much less of a time commitment. You should plan on visiting each of your machines once a week to collect the money and keep it looking clean, which should take less than an hour per machine.

Will there be other people placing EZLINK terminals in my area?
Yes, there will be. However, this will actually help your ability to attract customers. As more terminals are placed in your area, the more familiar users will become with them and even begin to expect them. Compare it to ATM machines: their abundance in many areas actually increases users reliance on them.

Can my business be sold at a later date?
Of course, if you own something it is certainly yours to sell. Typically, vending machine businesses sell for a price based on the earning potential of the machines, which means your business will be worth

Are there tax benefits associated with this business?*
There certainly are. The purchase price of the machines can be totally written off through depreciation, usually over a period of 3-5 years. Additionally, as a business owner, you are entitled to tax deductions for expenses incurred in the operation of your business, including, but not limited to: automobile expenses (maintenance and repair, gas, insurance), home office expenses (portion of rent/mortgage, insurance, maintenance and repair, utilities, phone bills and even depreciation and taxes, if you are a home owner).
