Just kind of a spur of the moment video. While I was browsing Reddit yesterday I saw a sponsored ad on there that a bar near me was looking for a host for a Trivia Night. The pay was $50 per night, for what I'm guessing is probably an hour, maybe 2 hour max activity. You also got $25 to spend on food and drinks while you were there.

This sparked an idea in my head. While this particular scenario was them looking to just hire someone to run a trivia night they already had established, what if you started a business hosting trivia nights at bars, you could probably get more than just $50. 

This would be an incredibly low cost startup, most bars have their own audio systems and mics so they should have you covered on the audio equipment if you even need it. You may need to buy a trivia book or a game of a trivial pursuit or something like that to come up with the questions, were looking at like $20 max there. Aside from that there's really no cost. When bars have activities like this typically either they will provide the prize or one of the beer or liquor companies or distributors will provide it so you don't have to cover prizes either.

Bars often have nights like this during the week when bars are quiet and pretty slow, it's a great way to bring in customers and not just customers but larger groups of friends and things like that. I'm guessing you could probably do something like this Sunday through Thursday so about 5 nights a week, if you can get paid $100 per trivia night that's $500 per week pretty much pure profit.

Now if you wanted to keep it small and do it yourself cool, if you wanted to scale it larger you could start approaching more bars, hire some people to actually facilitate the trivia night, maybe pay them $25 per hour and in addition to running trivia nights yourself you could be making probably $50 to $75 for each guy you have out at different bars doing this. 

If your someone who's social, likes hanging out in bars, likes meeting new people, likes trivia, this could be a really fun and enjoyable way to make a couple hundred bucks per week, very easily and almost pure profit.
