That post can be found by clicking HERE. – My discovery came when I realized about half the people are too timid to get close to a stranger on the street, so they elect to pass on putting money in the tip jar that is sitting right there next to me.

As soon as I added a remote tip jar to the mix, my income increased by almost 40%. – This is not just any tip jar, however. It’s a big plastic office water bottle that is light in weight but secure because people cannot stick their hands in through the small opening once the bucks are deposited. – Go for it!
