How to Become a Balloon Animal Vendor

Here’s a story that offers a brief introduction on how to make money with balloon animals. There’s a discussion of vending (making and charging for each balloon), hiring out as an entertainer and working for tips.

"The lady [a vendor] I mentioned before says her top seller is Elmo," says the story. "...but she also offers an assortment including a monkey, spider, cobra, Pegasus, teddybears, butterflies, unicorns, bears, dinosaur, and other animals, a green alien, Oscar the Grouch, Tweety Bird, Barney, a ballerina, and more."

According to the story, the vendor charges between one and five dollars per balloon, depending on the complexity. While the listed balloon animals sound like definite "winners" that will be popular with kids, I'd advise that all twisters be aware of the trademark issues.
