1. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OWN PRINTING BUSINESS WITH NO
PRINTING EQUIPMENT, NO OFFICE AND NO MONEY
Every business needs printing. If you can provide
everything from business cards to specialty items like
duplicate forms, you can earn a large, annual income
without owning a printing press.
A mail dealer in the state of Florida has successfully
sold specialty printing for nearly 20-years and has never
owned a can of ink, set the type for a letterhead or
wrapped an order to be shipped to an out-of-town customer.
This man is known as a PRINTING BROKER or PRINTER'S AGENT.
He contracts jobs and ships the orders to a large printer
in another state. He sells business cards at $20.00 per
thousand and keeps $12.00 commission for himself. His
orders are promptly filled in one working week. Last year
he earned top dollar as a printer and didn't own a press,
nor did he go to the trouble to do any of the hard labor.
This business can be run by anyone, anywhere. It can be
operated full or part time. The investment is ZERO. Your
only cost may be for 1,000 business cards, your business
can grow (locally) to fantastic proportions INSTANTLY if
you can offer the same business cards for HALF of what
everyone else is charging.
To start your business, look through the pages of
mailorder publications and locate printers which operate
near you, or no more than 300 to 500 miles away. Write to
these printers requesting their LOWEST RATES as you are a
PRINTING BROKER and can ship a lot of order to them.
After you locate a good printer, run the following
classified ad in your local paper.
WHOLESALE BUSINESS PRINTING, Save up to 50% on business
cards, letterheads, envelopes, forms, etc. Call: (Your
phone number here) or write: (your name and address
here).
After you get the above ad into print, you will be
surprised at the number of calls you will receive.
2. SIX SECRET FORMULAS THAT CAN FILL YOUR MAILBOX WITH
DOLLAR BILLS
Do you want to have your mailbox loaded with dollar bills?
It's not too difficult to do if you know how! Printed
below are SIX SECRET FORMULAS that can bring you much
success. The SECRET to getting the dollar bills EVERYDAY
in your mailbox is to remember only one quote: "An ad a
day is what makes mail order pay". In other words, if you
can place one ad DAILY in a small ad sheet, paper or
magazine, you can count on getting DAILY orders. When the
order begin to come in, YOU MUST INVEST at least HALF of
all the money you receive back into MORE advertising.
Here are the SIX SECRET FORMULAS that sell very well and
the ad you can use to sell them:
MAKE YOUR OWN athletes foot remedy, washing powder, fly
spray, glue, water softener and weed killer. Send $1.00
for these formulas.
ATHLETES FOOT REMEDY, Stir 4 ounces of Borax into 1 gallon
of water. Apply to feet to stop itch.
WASHING POWDER, Mix together 15 parts Sodium
Sesquicarbonate with 5 parts Trisodium Phosphate. To use,
add to the wash water like any other washing powder.
FLY SPRAY, Dissolve 2 ounces of Paradichlorbenzine into 1
quart of water. A little oil of Cloves can be added to
scent.
LIQUID GLUE, Dissolve 6-3/4 ounces of Calcium Chloride by
boiling in 20 fluid ounces of water. Allow to cool, then
drop in 3/4 pound of Glue
(1-3/4 strength).
WATER SOFTENER, This is a plain mixture of Soda Ash or
Pearl Ash to soften hard water.
WEED KILLER, Mix 1 pound of Ferrous Sulphate into 3
gallons of water. To use, spray over the weeded areas at
sundown so that the mixture does not evaporate under the
heat and rays of the sun.
3. HOW TO SAVE UP TO 75% ON YOUR ADVERTISING COSTS
Saving money on advertising is very simple. You can
actually get your ad into four publications for the price
of ONLY ONE. The SECRET is to use classifieds instead of
display ads. Since most publications charge from $10.00
to $20.00 per inch, you will note that classified sections
can be a BIG SAVINGS!
A one-inch ad in POPULAR ADVERTISER - a favorite magazine
for more than 50 years - is $9.00. An adlet runs just 16›
per word. If your ad runs 20-words or less, you can get
your ad printed for about $3.00. That's a savings of
$6.00. Common sense should tell you that if people are
going to read a publication, they will see a small ad as
well as a large one. Why spend large sums of money when a
much smaller sum will do just as well?
About 60% of the publications I receive have classified
columns. Many times a one-inch ad runs for three or four
times what a classified would cost. Many of these
publications have one or two hundred display ads but only
a page - or less - of classifieds.
Save money by using more and more classifieds. Remember
that a small ad is best used to get inquiries or to sell
small items selling for only a dollar or two. DON'T try
to sell an item costing five or ten dollars when you use
only 15 to 20 words in your classified. Non-display ads
CAN SELL FOR YOU! USE THEM and SAVE up to 75% on your
advertising budget.
4. WHAT IS THE EASIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE MAILORDER
BUSINESS TO START?
There are several. But I suggest being the dealer (agent)
for a larger company that can drop-ship your orders for
you. This way you have no investment, except a few
dollars for advertising. You don't even need business
envelopes or a typewriter to operate this kind of
business. I suggest reading through many publications and
picking one or several offers that attract you. Since the
majority of dealers are looking for agents to sell their
products for them, you are a PRIZE THAT MOST companies are
looking for. They cannot make money if they do not have
individuals like you to sell for them.. Most of these
companies will supply you with camera ready ads to run
over your name, circulars, sales letters and other
money-making literature. Many BIG TIME DEALERS never
stock a book, have no employees and don't even have office
space, yet they sell books by the thousands for companies
that are book printers. Other dealers sell merchandise
and never stock a single box, nor do they wrap one package
for shipment to a customer. The supplier does this for
the dealer who has his items drop-shipped for him. You
can do it too! Many dealers selling books through full
page ads in the national tabloids are just small dealers,
or would-be mail dealers, like you and I. But they
started small and grew into big companies without the work
of the supplier.
One California mail dealer earns $100,000 a year doing
nothing but placing ads in various periodicals and then he
sits back and waits for the orders to come in. Then he
opens the envelopes, takes out the checks, and sends the
original order letters on to the supplier. Then he sits
back again and waits for more orders to come in. What
could be simpler? You can do it too! Start looking for
supply houses and REAP YOUR REWARDS!
5. HOW TO GET FREE MAILING LISTS, FREE STAMPS AND FREE
ENVELOPES
If you intend to stay in the mail order business, you will
have to learn how to get the right customers for your
offers. It isn't difficult to locate the right buyers for
the items you have to sell. But learning how can take
many years of trial and error.
The best way to get orders is the Direct Mail Method.
This method is the most successful and most used of all
the options open to dealers. Direct Mail is simply
described in most instruction manuals as that branch of
mailorder in which offers of various types are mailed
directly to names obtained from mailing list suppliers of
names taken from phone books, etc. All these methods are
fine, but you have to pay for the names. This, of course,
cuts into your profits.
For years I have gotten FREE names, FREE envelopes and
FREE postage stamps using the BEST METHOD ever created to
get REAL buyers. How do I do this?
Some years ago I placed a small classified in one of the
best periodicals in the business. The ad offered free
information about making money at home. That ad cost me
very little and brought in several hundred replies.
However, I didn't request any postage, which I should have
done. Presently I run an ad much like the one I ran a few
years ago, but now I ask for an addressed, stamped
envelope. My replies aren't as great as they were before,
but I get plenty of FREE stamped envelopes.
If you have a good piece of information that can be
cheaply printed on one side of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of
paper, then you can offer this FREE as described in the
outline above. When requests for the information pour in,
stuff other information (circulars) into the envelope with
the requested material. Most likely you will get several
bites in addition to the other item you wished to sell.
Let's say that you sell books by mail. If you can offer a
FREE CATALOG to inquiries, then you will get MORE than
your share of replies. Offering FREE INFORMATION is the
BEST WAY to get FREE NAMES, FREE STAMPS and FREE
ENVELOPES. TRY IT!
6. A PRODUCT YOU CAN SELL TO EVERYONE (AND YOU CAN MAKE
IT YOURSELF)
A California woman had the formula for a terrific Sun Tan
Lotion. Instead of investing her time and money in the
manufacturing of the lotion, she sold the formula instead.
Her ad appeared in dozens of magazines and she made a very
nice profit. Her ad read as follows: "MAKE YOUR OWN SUN
TAN LOTION for pennies. Sell to neighbors and friends for
BIG profits. Send $1.00. Here is the formula she sent to
those who ordered it from her:
SUNTAN LOTION: Items Needed: 1 ounce of Quinine
Sulphate; 2-1/2 ounces of Witch Hazel; 5 ounces of
Lanolin; 3-1/2 pints of Peanut Oil. Melt Lanolin with
Peanut Oil over low flame. In another container dissolve
the Quinine in Witch Hazel. Add this to the warm mixture.
Mix everything together and put up in 6 or 8 ounce
bottles. It takes time to make this product, but you will
find it to be a good one that does the job.
It is a known fact that many individuals make a
comfortable living selling all types of formulas through
the mails. If plans can be successfully sold by others, I
am sure you can do so too! If you have something unusual
or an item not found in stores, sell the product or the
recipe (formula). The best way to make money in mailorder
is to be your own source of supply.
7. HOW TO COLLECT NAMES EASILY - AND SELL THEM FOR $3.00
TO $5.00 PER 100
If you are a newcomer to mailorder and looking for
something to sell WITHOUT LAYING OUT ANY INVESTMENT, I
suggest that you try the following business which anyone
can operate. Begin by collecting names and addresses from
various sources such as mailing lists appearing in most
mail order magazines. Neatly type these names on address
labels which are available from any stationary store.
Advertise your mailing list in several ad sheets and trade
publications, as follows:
OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS NAMES ON GUMMED LABELS, 100 for ONLY
$3.00 from: (Your name and address appears here).
This is a splendid way to start a small business and your
profits can be doubled and tripled if you type duplicates,
using carbon paper. Another way to make more profits from
an addressing business is to run this profitable ad over
your name:
RECEIVE DOZENS OF BIG MAILS FOR 25›! Send name and
address with 25› to: (Your name and address here).
When the quarters and names begin to come in, type the
names in duplicate and file the original order letter for
future use. The quarter received can be used to purchase
more ad space and the names can be sold over and over
again as these are people who are buyers and desire to
receive any type of offers. If this outline is followed
to the letter, anyone can earn many thousands of dollars
during the year.
8. MAKE BIG MONEY SELLING THIS BEAUTY SECRET TO
TEENAGERS
Typed below is a classified ad which you can run over your
name, and the information with which to fill your orders.
This is called an ALL-PROFIT AD and pays you 100% PROFIT
on ALL ORDERS that you receive and fill yourself.
TEENAGERS! GET RID OF PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS WITHOUT
USING EXPENSIVE CREAMS AND OINTMENTS, THE COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS ONLY $1.00 (Your name and address in this
space).
When orders are received, send your customers the
following instructions that are medically proven and work.
HOME REMEDY FOR PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS:
Wash your face at least three times daily using a
non-irritant soap (such as Oatmeal). Spend at least 5
minutes bathing the face. Be sure to use water that is
HOT, but not uncomfortable. Then apply more soap and use
a rubber complexion brush (available at most drug stores).
Brush-scrub the face gently, but thoroughly. Then rinse
in clear, cold water until the last particle of soap has
been removed. WATCH YOUR DIET CAREFULLY! Stay away from
fried foods, red meats, hot dogs, adulterated foods like
white breads and rolls, cakes and pies, soft drinks and
other "junk foods". Eat plenty of vegetables (steamed not
boiled), fruits and whole grains like brown rice, millet,
barley, whole wheat breads and oatmeal. Drink plenty of
water and stay away from dairy products (use skim milk
instead). In just a few weeks your complexion will be
clear and spotless. If it is not, you are not following
the diet to the letter! If you have a sweet tooth,
substitute some Raw Honey, Rice Syrup (available from
health food stores) and Barley Malt. Stay away from soft
drinks and DON'T use Sodium Saccharin or any other
artificial sweeteners. These can cause cancer. Since the
human body goes through drastic changes at puberty, it is
not unusual for poorly fed teenagers to have chemical
problems that are made worse by improper diet. Keeping
the glands from absorbing adulterated and grease-soaked
foods can actually allow them to perform without any
additional medical treatments. If skin eruptions continue
to occur, see your family doctor. Eliminate more animal
proteins and substitute more grains such as Brown Rice if
the face does not have the clear appearance that you
desire. Whole grains supply sufficient B-vitamins and
minerals, plus a generous supply of protein when eaten in
large amounts (at least 1 cup per meal). Small amounts of
dry beans (not canned) can be added to form complete
proteins like those found in animal foods.
9. MAKE BIG MONEY WITH POSTCARDS
One of the biggest mail dealers in North America has
earned enormous profits by circulating his sales messages
on postcards. He doesn't pay any postage, gets his
mailing lists for FREE and spends only a few dollars each
month on advertising costs. He regularly tests the sales
appeal of NEW items, using this method of alerting the
public to stock availability. He is usually the only
immediate source of many items.
When this inventive dealer started his business he had
only a few dollars to invest. He came upon a plan in
which his total investment would be cost of a small
classified ad. He offered FREE INFORMATION in which could
put extra money in the pockets of housewives. The ad
read:
"EXTRA INCOME FOR HOUSEWIVES. NO INVESTMENT! FREE
INFORMATION FOR A STAMP."
When the stamps began arriving, he affixed them to a
postcard which carried the complete information of his
proposal in about 100 words. The offer was of the
homework-type making aprons, towel holders and potholders.
He explained in simple language how an hour or two each
day could provide an additional $25 to $50 weekly. All
the individual receiving the postcard advertisement had to
do was remit a small payment to the dealer and supplies
were sent to her. When the work was completed and
returned to the dealer, he then sent her payment to her.
He then sent the finished product to a wholesaler who send
the mail dealer his check.
The operation is very profitable and can be run many
different ways. If you have just one good item to sell,
you can do this also. Many national companies need people
to make products at home and need a MIDDLE MAN to get the
business for them. Handicapped people are perfect for
this type of work.
10. MAKE BIG PROFITS PUBLISHING YOUR OWN AD SHEET
Thousands of mail order ad-sheets are published every
month. Most of them are printed inexpensively by
mimeograph. Others incorporate reading material which
increases the number of readers. Articles written on the
subject of mailorder are incentives for the readers to get
MORE INVOLVED in the business of operating a home
enterprise. Publishing the advertising messages of other
individuals is a great responsibility. If one is not
dependable or disciplined in carry-out the duties of
publishing, then this business should NOT be attempted!
The work involved can be as simple as you make it, or
complicated. It cannot be put-aside to be done at a later
date, as publishing means KEEPING A SCHEDULE, no matter
how tired or involved in something else you might be.
Starting a publication is very simple and can be quite
profitable. There are two routes to take in laying-down
the ground floor for a proposed publication: You must
decide whether you want to set the ad copy on the
typewriter or computer-typesetter, or accept ONLY
Camera-Ready Ads from clients. Copy that is camera-ready
is anything that is ready to be printed and needs no
typesetting. The latter is BEST for new publishers as the
only work involved is pasting-up the Ads.
To get a new publication on the road to prospering, it is
best to advertise the first few issues at a DISCOUNT RATE.
In other words, cover your printing costs, but keep your
advertising rates LOW ENOUGH to obtain as many accounts as
is possible for the first issue or two. The FOLLOWING AD
will bring in many advertising accounts to you:
"75› PER INCH! CAMERA-READY AD PRINTED AND MAILED FOR
JUST 75›. A 2" AD ONLY $1.00."
The above Ad should be placed in several publications to
insure a good number of incoming orders. Your next step
is to give your publication a GOOD name. The EASY METHOD
is to look through a magazine or newspaper and clip out an
eye-catching HEADING such as: BARGAIN SALE, DISCOUNT DAYS
or anything else that you feel would be suitable as a NAME
for your publication (also called MASTHEAD or LOGO).
The most difficult part of your work will be the paste-up.
This can be easily figured-out by looking at other
ad-sheets you have received in the mail. Remember to use
a light blue or yellow pencil to draw lines and margins on
paper, as these do not photograph, while pencil does.
Accept ads on white or yellow paper ONLY, printed in black
or red ink. Colored papers will come-out as a blotch when
printed unless the printer has the facilities to
"filter-out" color from individually colored ad copy.
Always use rubber cement to do your paste-up and a cement
eraser to remove globs of glue that might remain after you
do the layout.
If you follow the brief outline I have given you, you
should be making a nice income very shortly. Many small
publishers, like myself, earn from $5,000 to $10,000
yearly printing ONLY ONE AD-SHEET or small paper.
11. HOW TO GET FREE COMMISSION CIRCULARS FOR LIFE
Why pay for commission circulars when you can get them
FREE? Many dealers get limitless numbers of circulars to
mail at no cost to them. Their only expense is the price
of postage to distribute them. Most of us have purchased
commission circulars at one time or another, usually when
we first started in this business. Newcomers usually try
mailing circulars paying them a percentage of the profits
as a business, while many continue as commission mailers
for many, many years. Bigger dealers have made small
fortunes mailing circulars for big companies and taking
out their share of the profits after a sale is made. The
Prime Source who supplied the circulars originally,
dropships the order for the dealer who made the sale.
Usually the split in the sale price is 50%.
There is BIG MONEY to be made mailing commission circulars
and you can GET THEM FREE! The BEST WAY to get thousands
of FREE COMMISSION CIRCULARS is to advertise that you want
them. Use the ad which follows to get supply houses to
send circulars to you. Mention HOW MANY YOU CAN HONESTLY
MAIL when placing your Ad. It should read as follows:
"COMMISSION CIRCULARS WANTED! Must pay $1.00 or more.
Can mail 500 monthly. Send clean, legitimate offers ONLY!
Will acknowledge all circulars which are received."
Place the above Ad in as many publications as you can
afford. I am sure you will be pleased with the results
from this easily operated business.
12. HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER
Your daily newspaper is a GOLDMINE! It is worth hundreds
of dollars to you if you know what to do with it. There
are a dozen ways to make money with a newspaper. This is
one, easy way.
Once mail dealer collects the daily Birth Notices and
sells them to companies that specialize in baby items.
They mail their catalogs to new mothers and this man makes
a nice profit selling the names. Here is the small
classified he uses in the mechanics magazines:
"NEW MOTHER'S NAMES! None over 45-days old. 100 names on
labels, $5.00; 1,000 names, $30.00."
Another way to make money with your Daily Paper and
Newspapers from other cities is to collect the names and
addresses of NEW BUSINESSES listed DAILY in these papers.
Some days as many as 50 or 100 new businesses are listed.
You can sell them just as you sell the New Mother's Names.
Use the following ad to sell these names:
"100 NEW BUSINESSES ON GUMMED LABELS, $5.00; 1,000 NAMES,
$30.00."
13. HOW TO WRITE CLASSIFIED ADS THAT GET ORDERS
Classified Ads are not the place to sell merchandise. The
reason for the Classified Ad is to either get large
numbers of inquiries to send additional information to,or
to sell small items costing only a dollar or so. Don't
try to sell an item costing several dollars through a
classified ad! Since most classifieds contain only a few
words, it is nearly impossible to give a potential
customer all the information required to sell an item.
Write your classified ads with words that will make the
reader wish to send for more information! Or, do as I do
when trying to create more business for myself: offer to
send the reader helpful information without letting the
reader know that the helpful information is a well-written
circular designed to sell something or other. If you are
selling a book about spare time, money-making
opportunities, write an Ad like the one which follows:
NEED EXTRA MONEY? WRITE FOR FREE INFORMATION ON EARNING
BUG BUCKS AT HOME! (Your name here).
When the reader requests the FREE INFORMATION, enclose the
circular with some of your other offers. If your material
is of some value, you will undoubtedly sell your material
to a large percentage of those who answer your classified
ad. Classified Ads should be used for inquiry advertising
ONLY and not as a medium for selling merchandise the
potential buyer knows nothing about. After all, the buyer
can know little about what you are selling if you only
have a small ad with a few words. He needs MORE
INFORMATION, or you won't make a sale, or a dent in this
business of mail order.
To write a GOOD CLASSIFIED AD THAT WILL GET ORDERS is not
a difficult as one might think. Look over publications
like the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and take note of the ads that
continue to run year after year! These ads MUST PULL
ORDERS or the advertiser would not continue to place the
ad issue after issue, year after year. NOTE that most of
these ads HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE ITEM
BEING SOLD. The ads are simply EYE-CATCHERS. An ad might
read: "EARN $200 WEEKLY in your spare time." What the
potential customer receives might be a bunch of circulars
advertising fishing rods at discounts, vitamins, shoes and
baby clothes. This might not be believable to you, so
take some time and answer a few of these ads and list the
addresses that you have requested information from and you
will be very surprised at what you receive. We don't
suggest doing business in this manner, but most of these
advertisers realize that people don't answer their ad and
no others. People who answer classified ads might request
information from 10 or 20 different advertisers in any one
paper or magazine, and the advertisers know this.
Use GRABBER-WORDS when you write your ads. Words such as
FREE, BIG DISCOUNTS, SPECIAL OFFER, and son on are the
words that never get old and BRING IN THE BACON. Use
these GRABBER-WORDS in your ads and DON'T FORGET to keep
your ads SHORT AND SWEET! The more words, the less
readers you will have. People scan ads very quickly and
read only those that CATCH THEIR EYE. 10 well-written
words (not counting your company name and address) is all
it takes to get a potential buyer if you use those
GRABBER-WORDS and DON'T REQUEST stamps, self-addressed,
stamped envelopes and other "ad killers". People are in a
hurry and asking for a stamp or an envelope can actually
kill-off 99% of those who have written to you for more
information. If you can't afford to send the additional
information to a curiosity seeker for free (you pay the
postage), then DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EXPENSIVE
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING! You would do better to sell
apples and pencils on a street corner.
14. HOW TO GET ORDERS IN YOUR MAILBOX 365-DAYS A YEAR
Do you want to receive orders EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR? You
can if you have a post office box and if you sell
something that people want. I'll try to explain what
people need so that you can profit from what I have
learned over the years. Most dealers believe that a
profit cannot be made unless items with large price tags
are offered to the buying public. This is far from the
truth. To keep the mail coming in on a regular basis it
is important to use "good will" and "leader" items. These
are good-pulling offers that keep the dollars rolling-in
DAILY, in an average week leader items selling for a
couple of quarters or a dollar can bring in dozens and
dozens of orders. Offering valuable information, for
example, with price tags of 50› and $1.00 build customer
interest and can create regular, repeat buyers.
For years I have offered information for 50› and $1.00 and
find that these are not only big sellers, but build
customer trust and a mailing list that I can use over and
over again. Most of my "cheap" offers are short,
mini-folios containing only a few thousand (and helpful)
words. My cost is only a few pennies to print. My profit
margin is not enormous, with the present cost of
envelopes, printing and postage, but those who send me
quarters and dollars usually return with much larger
orders. My repeat trade has always been above 50%.
Selling information for a dollar or less may not seem very
profitable to you but getting the names of interested mail
buyers is the name of the game.
Selling Big Mails is an excellent way to get names of mail
buyers. After you get 100 orders, you can sell these
names for up to $5.00 per 100. You can get enormous
response to your ads if you just use your imagination. If
you have a particular piece of information that hasn't
made the rounds, put the material in your own works and
sell it. One dealer sells the addresses of several
companies that offer wholesale printing and his ad reads
as follows: "CHEAP PRINTING! List of 50 discount
printers, $1.00." This ad produces 20 to 30 orders EVERY
DAY OF THE YEAR. That is more than $9,000 a year from
one, small classified ad. YOU CAN EASILY DUPLICATE THIS
MAN'S EFFORTS, TOO! Simply sell a good piece of
information and watch the dollars roll-in everyday! This
is how to keep your mailbox full 365-days a year.
15. A MAILORDER BUSINESS YOU CAN START WITH NO INVESTMENT
One man I know has turned "trash mail" into a profitable
business. He saves every circular he receives as they are
like money in the bank. He receives many orders for his
OPPORTUNITY PACKETS at $1 and $2 each. Presently he is
listed on dozens of mailing lists due to regularly writing
for Free Information to dealers advertising in various
publications. Everything he receives is saved in boxes
and later stuffed into 6x9 kraft mailing envelopes,
weighing 2 ounces each. His only cost to run his business
is for the placement of the following classified ad in
several national magazines:
"START YOUR OWN HOME BUSINESS! $1.00 BRINGS HUNDREDS OF
HOMEWORK OPPORTUNITIES."
The SECRET to making this Plan work for you is to place
your classified ads in small newspapers and not in
mailorder publications appealing to mail dealers.
EVERYONE is looking for an EXTRA BUCK and this small AD
will not only bring in the orders, but you will be helping
others interested in making money at home locate a
supplier that will dropship items for them. Since most of
the offers are of the dropship type that this man mails to
those replying to his Ads, he also helps the dealers who
have something of value to sell. This business can be
operated year 'round and MORE MONEY CAN BE MADE if you can
offer circular mailing to other dealers. The man who runs
this "trash mail" business charges $2.00 to mail 100
circulars (any size) for other dealers. Not only does he
make a good living selling the circulars he receives in
the mail, but he also makes EXTRA CASH by mailing the
circulars of other mail dealers.

1. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OWN PRINTING BUSINESS WITH NO
PRINTING EQUIPMENT, NO OFFICE AND NO MONEY
Every business needs printing. If you can provide
everything from business cards to specialty items like
duplicate forms, you can earn a large, annual income
without owning a printing press.
A mail dealer in the state of Florida has successfully
sold specialty printing for nearly 20-years and has never
owned a can of ink, set the type for a letterhead or
wrapped an order to be shipped to an out-of-town customer.
This man is known as a PRINTING BROKER or PRINTER'S AGENT.
He contracts jobs and ships the orders to a large printer
in another state. He sells business cards at $20.00 per
thousand and keeps $12.00 commission for himself. His
orders are promptly filled in one working week. Last year
he earned top dollar as a printer and didn't own a press,
nor did he go to the trouble to do any of the hard labor.
This business can be run by anyone, anywhere. It can be
operated full or part time. The investment is ZERO. Your
only cost may be for 1,000 business cards, your business
can grow (locally) to fantastic proportions INSTANTLY if
you can offer the same business cards for HALF of what
everyone else is charging.
To start your business, look through the pages of
mailorder publications and locate printers which operate
near you, or no more than 300 to 500 miles away. Write to
these printers requesting their LOWEST RATES as you are a
PRINTING BROKER and can ship a lot of order to them.
After you locate a good printer, run the following
classified ad in your local paper.
WHOLESALE BUSINESS PRINTING, Save up to 50% on business
cards, letterheads, envelopes, forms, etc. Call: (Your
phone number here) or write: (your name and address
here).
After you get the above ad into print, you will be
surprised at the number of calls you will receive.
2. SIX SECRET FORMULAS THAT CAN FILL YOUR MAILBOX WITH
DOLLAR BILLS
Do you want to have your mailbox loaded with dollar bills?
It's not too difficult to do if you know how! Printed
below are SIX SECRET FORMULAS that can bring you much
success. The SECRET to getting the dollar bills EVERYDAY
in your mailbox is to remember only one quote: "An ad a
day is what makes mail order pay". In other words, if you
can place one ad DAILY in a small ad sheet, paper or
magazine, you can count on getting DAILY orders. When the
order begin to come in, YOU MUST INVEST at least HALF of
all the money you receive back into MORE advertising.
Here are the SIX SECRET FORMULAS that sell very well and
the ad you can use to sell them:
MAKE YOUR OWN athletes foot remedy, washing powder, fly
spray, glue, water softener and weed killer. Send $1.00
for these formulas.
ATHLETES FOOT REMEDY, Stir 4 ounces of Borax into 1 gallon
of water. Apply to feet to stop itch.
WASHING POWDER, Mix together 15 parts Sodium
Sesquicarbonate with 5 parts Trisodium Phosphate. To use,
add to the wash water like any other washing powder.
FLY SPRAY, Dissolve 2 ounces of Paradichlorbenzine into 1
quart of water. A little oil of Cloves can be added to
scent.
LIQUID GLUE, Dissolve 6-3/4 ounces of Calcium Chloride by
boiling in 20 fluid ounces of water. Allow to cool, then
drop in 3/4 pound of Glue
(1-3/4 strength).
WATER SOFTENER, This is a plain mixture of Soda Ash or
Pearl Ash to soften hard water.
WEED KILLER, Mix 1 pound of Ferrous Sulphate into 3
gallons of water. To use, spray over the weeded areas at
sundown so that the mixture does not evaporate under the
heat and rays of the sun.
3. HOW TO SAVE UP TO 75% ON YOUR ADVERTISING COSTS
Saving money on advertising is very simple. You can
actually get your ad into four publications for the price
of ONLY ONE. The SECRET is to use classifieds instead of
display ads. Since most publications charge from $10.00
to $20.00 per inch, you will note that classified sections
can be a BIG SAVINGS!
A one-inch ad in POPULAR ADVERTISER - a favorite magazine
for more than 50 years - is $9.00. An adlet runs just 16›
per word. If your ad runs 20-words or less, you can get
your ad printed for about $3.00. That's a savings of
$6.00. Common sense should tell you that if people are
going to read a publication, they will see a small ad as
well as a large one. Why spend large sums of money when a
much smaller sum will do just as well?
About 60% of the publications I receive have classified
columns. Many times a one-inch ad runs for three or four
times what a classified would cost. Many of these
publications have one or two hundred display ads but only
a page - or less - of classifieds.
Save money by using more and more classifieds. Remember
that a small ad is best used to get inquiries or to sell
small items selling for only a dollar or two. DON'T try
to sell an item costing five or ten dollars when you use
only 15 to 20 words in your classified. Non-display ads
CAN SELL FOR YOU! USE THEM and SAVE up to 75% on your
advertising budget.
4. WHAT IS THE EASIEST AND MOST PROFITABLE MAILORDER
BUSINESS TO START?
There are several. But I suggest being the dealer (agent)
for a larger company that can drop-ship your orders for
you. This way you have no investment, except a few
dollars for advertising. You don't even need business
envelopes or a typewriter to operate this kind of
business. I suggest reading through many publications and
picking one or several offers that attract you. Since the
majority of dealers are looking for agents to sell their
products for them, you are a PRIZE THAT MOST companies are
looking for. They cannot make money if they do not have
individuals like you to sell for them.. Most of these
companies will supply you with camera ready ads to run
over your name, circulars, sales letters and other
money-making literature. Many BIG TIME DEALERS never
stock a book, have no employees and don't even have office
space, yet they sell books by the thousands for companies
that are book printers. Other dealers sell merchandise
and never stock a single box, nor do they wrap one package
for shipment to a customer. The supplier does this for
the dealer who has his items drop-shipped for him. You
can do it too! Many dealers selling books through full
page ads in the national tabloids are just small dealers,
or would-be mail dealers, like you and I. But they
started small and grew into big companies without the work
of the supplier.
One California mail dealer earns $100,000 a year doing
nothing but placing ads in various periodicals and then he
sits back and waits for the orders to come in. Then he
opens the envelopes, takes out the checks, and sends the
original order letters on to the supplier. Then he sits
back again and waits for more orders to come in. What
could be simpler? You can do it too! Start looking for
supply houses and REAP YOUR REWARDS!
5. HOW TO GET FREE MAILING LISTS, FREE STAMPS AND FREE
ENVELOPES
If you intend to stay in the mail order business, you will
have to learn how to get the right customers for your
offers. It isn't difficult to locate the right buyers for
the items you have to sell. But learning how can take
many years of trial and error.
The best way to get orders is the Direct Mail Method.
This method is the most successful and most used of all
the options open to dealers. Direct Mail is simply
described in most instruction manuals as that branch of
mailorder in which offers of various types are mailed
directly to names obtained from mailing list suppliers of
names taken from phone books, etc. All these methods are
fine, but you have to pay for the names. This, of course,
cuts into your profits.
For years I have gotten FREE names, FREE envelopes and
FREE postage stamps using the BEST METHOD ever created to
get REAL buyers. How do I do this?
Some years ago I placed a small classified in one of the
best periodicals in the business. The ad offered free
information about making money at home. That ad cost me
very little and brought in several hundred replies.
However, I didn't request any postage, which I should have
done. Presently I run an ad much like the one I ran a few
years ago, but now I ask for an addressed, stamped
envelope. My replies aren't as great as they were before,
but I get plenty of FREE stamped envelopes.
If you have a good piece of information that can be
cheaply printed on one side of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of
paper, then you can offer this FREE as described in the
outline above. When requests for the information pour in,
stuff other information (circulars) into the envelope with
the requested material. Most likely you will get several
bites in addition to the other item you wished to sell.
Let's say that you sell books by mail. If you can offer a
FREE CATALOG to inquiries, then you will get MORE than
your share of replies. Offering FREE INFORMATION is the
BEST WAY to get FREE NAMES, FREE STAMPS and FREE
ENVELOPES. TRY IT!
6. A PRODUCT YOU CAN SELL TO EVERYONE (AND YOU CAN MAKE
IT YOURSELF)
A California woman had the formula for a terrific Sun Tan
Lotion. Instead of investing her time and money in the
manufacturing of the lotion, she sold the formula instead.
Her ad appeared in dozens of magazines and she made a very
nice profit. Her ad read as follows: "MAKE YOUR OWN SUN
TAN LOTION for pennies. Sell to neighbors and friends for
BIG profits. Send $1.00. Here is the formula she sent to
those who ordered it from her:
SUNTAN LOTION: Items Needed: 1 ounce of Quinine
Sulphate; 2-1/2 ounces of Witch Hazel; 5 ounces of
Lanolin; 3-1/2 pints of Peanut Oil. Melt Lanolin with
Peanut Oil over low flame. In another container dissolve
the Quinine in Witch Hazel. Add this to the warm mixture.
Mix everything together and put up in 6 or 8 ounce
bottles. It takes time to make this product, but you will
find it to be a good one that does the job.
It is a known fact that many individuals make a
comfortable living selling all types of formulas through
the mails. If plans can be successfully sold by others, I
am sure you can do so too! If you have something unusual
or an item not found in stores, sell the product or the
recipe (formula). The best way to make money in mailorder
is to be your own source of supply.
7. HOW TO COLLECT NAMES EASILY - AND SELL THEM FOR $3.00
TO $5.00 PER 100
If you are a newcomer to mailorder and looking for
something to sell WITHOUT LAYING OUT ANY INVESTMENT, I
suggest that you try the following business which anyone
can operate. Begin by collecting names and addresses from
various sources such as mailing lists appearing in most
mail order magazines. Neatly type these names on address
labels which are available from any stationary store.
Advertise your mailing list in several ad sheets and trade
publications, as follows:
OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS NAMES ON GUMMED LABELS, 100 for ONLY
$3.00 from: (Your name and address appears here).
This is a splendid way to start a small business and your
profits can be doubled and tripled if you type duplicates,
using carbon paper. Another way to make more profits from
an addressing business is to run this profitable ad over
your name:
RECEIVE DOZENS OF BIG MAILS FOR 25›! Send name and
address with 25› to: (Your name and address here).
When the quarters and names begin to come in, type the
names in duplicate and file the original order letter for
future use. The quarter received can be used to purchase
more ad space and the names can be sold over and over
again as these are people who are buyers and desire to
receive any type of offers. If this outline is followed
to the letter, anyone can earn many thousands of dollars
during the year.
8. MAKE BIG MONEY SELLING THIS BEAUTY SECRET TO
TEENAGERS
Typed below is a classified ad which you can run over your
name, and the information with which to fill your orders.
This is called an ALL-PROFIT AD and pays you 100% PROFIT
on ALL ORDERS that you receive and fill yourself.
TEENAGERS! GET RID OF PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS WITHOUT
USING EXPENSIVE CREAMS AND OINTMENTS, THE COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS ONLY $1.00 (Your name and address in this
space).
When orders are received, send your customers the
following instructions that are medically proven and work.
HOME REMEDY FOR PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS:
Wash your face at least three times daily using a
non-irritant soap (such as Oatmeal). Spend at least 5
minutes bathing the face. Be sure to use water that is
HOT, but not uncomfortable. Then apply more soap and use
a rubber complexion brush (available at most drug stores).
Brush-scrub the face gently, but thoroughly. Then rinse
in clear, cold water until the last particle of soap has
been removed. WATCH YOUR DIET CAREFULLY! Stay away from
fried foods, red meats, hot dogs, adulterated foods like
white breads and rolls, cakes and pies, soft drinks and
other "junk foods". Eat plenty of vegetables (steamed not
boiled), fruits and whole grains like brown rice, millet,
barley, whole wheat breads and oatmeal. Drink plenty of
water and stay away from dairy products (use skim milk
instead). In just a few weeks your complexion will be
clear and spotless. If it is not, you are not following
the diet to the letter! If you have a sweet tooth,
substitute some Raw Honey, Rice Syrup (available from
health food stores) and Barley Malt. Stay away from soft
drinks and DON'T use Sodium Saccharin or any other
artificial sweeteners. These can cause cancer. Since the
human body goes through drastic changes at puberty, it is
not unusual for poorly fed teenagers to have chemical
problems that are made worse by improper diet. Keeping
the glands from absorbing adulterated and grease-soaked
foods can actually allow them to perform without any
additional medical treatments. If skin eruptions continue
to occur, see your family doctor. Eliminate more animal
proteins and substitute more grains such as Brown Rice if
the face does not have the clear appearance that you
desire. Whole grains supply sufficient B-vitamins and
minerals, plus a generous supply of protein when eaten in
large amounts (at least 1 cup per meal). Small amounts of
dry beans (not canned) can be added to form complete
proteins like those found in animal foods.
9. MAKE BIG MONEY WITH POSTCARDS
One of the biggest mail dealers in North America has
earned enormous profits by circulating his sales messages
on postcards. He doesn't pay any postage, gets his
mailing lists for FREE and spends only a few dollars each
month on advertising costs. He regularly tests the sales
appeal of NEW items, using this method of alerting the
public to stock availability. He is usually the only
immediate source of many items.
When this inventive dealer started his business he had
only a few dollars to invest. He came upon a plan in
which his total investment would be cost of a small
classified ad. He offered FREE INFORMATION in which could
put extra money in the pockets of housewives. The ad
read:
"EXTRA INCOME FOR HOUSEWIVES. NO INVESTMENT! FREE
INFORMATION FOR A STAMP."
When the stamps began arriving, he affixed them to a
postcard which carried the complete information of his
proposal in about 100 words. The offer was of the
homework-type making aprons, towel holders and potholders.
He explained in simple language how an hour or two each
day could provide an additional $25 to $50 weekly. All
the individual receiving the postcard advertisement had to
do was remit a small payment to the dealer and supplies
were sent to her. When the work was completed and
returned to the dealer, he then sent her payment to her.
He then sent the finished product to a wholesaler who send
the mail dealer his check.
The operation is very profitable and can be run many
different ways. If you have just one good item to sell,
you can do this also. Many national companies need people
to make products at home and need a MIDDLE MAN to get the
business for them. Handicapped people are perfect for
this type of work.
10. MAKE BIG PROFITS PUBLISHING YOUR OWN AD SHEET
Thousands of mail order ad-sheets are published every
month. Most of them are printed inexpensively by
mimeograph. Others incorporate reading material which
increases the number of readers. Articles written on the
subject of mailorder are incentives for the readers to get
MORE INVOLVED in the business of operating a home
enterprise. Publishing the advertising messages of other
individuals is a great responsibility. If one is not
dependable or disciplined in carry-out the duties of
publishing, then this business should NOT be attempted!
The work involved can be as simple as you make it, or
complicated. It cannot be put-aside to be done at a later
date, as publishing means KEEPING A SCHEDULE, no matter
how tired or involved in something else you might be.
Starting a publication is very simple and can be quite
profitable. There are two routes to take in laying-down
the ground floor for a proposed publication: You must
decide whether you want to set the ad copy on the
typewriter or computer-typesetter, or accept ONLY
Camera-Ready Ads from clients. Copy that is camera-ready
is anything that is ready to be printed and needs no
typesetting. The latter is BEST for new publishers as the
only work involved is pasting-up the Ads.
To get a new publication on the road to prospering, it is
best to advertise the first few issues at a DISCOUNT RATE.
In other words, cover your printing costs, but keep your
advertising rates LOW ENOUGH to obtain as many accounts as
is possible for the first issue or two. The FOLLOWING AD
will bring in many advertising accounts to you:
"75› PER INCH! CAMERA-READY AD PRINTED AND MAILED FOR
JUST 75›. A 2" AD ONLY $1.00."
The above Ad should be placed in several publications to
insure a good number of incoming orders. Your next step
is to give your publication a GOOD name. The EASY METHOD
is to look through a magazine or newspaper and clip out an
eye-catching HEADING such as: BARGAIN SALE, DISCOUNT DAYS
or anything else that you feel would be suitable as a NAME
for your publication (also called MASTHEAD or LOGO).
The most difficult part of your work will be the paste-up.
This can be easily figured-out by looking at other
ad-sheets you have received in the mail. Remember to use
a light blue or yellow pencil to draw lines and margins on
paper, as these do not photograph, while pencil does.
Accept ads on white or yellow paper ONLY, printed in black
or red ink. Colored papers will come-out as a blotch when
printed unless the printer has the facilities to
"filter-out" color from individually colored ad copy.
Always use rubber cement to do your paste-up and a cement
eraser to remove globs of glue that might remain after you
do the layout.
If you follow the brief outline I have given you, you
should be making a nice income very shortly. Many small
publishers, like myself, earn from $5,000 to $10,000
yearly printing ONLY ONE AD-SHEET or small paper.
11. HOW TO GET FREE COMMISSION CIRCULARS FOR LIFE
Why pay for commission circulars when you can get them
FREE? Many dealers get limitless numbers of circulars to
mail at no cost to them. Their only expense is the price
of postage to distribute them. Most of us have purchased
commission circulars at one time or another, usually when
we first started in this business. Newcomers usually try
mailing circulars paying them a percentage of the profits
as a business, while many continue as commission mailers
for many, many years. Bigger dealers have made small
fortunes mailing circulars for big companies and taking
out their share of the profits after a sale is made. The
Prime Source who supplied the circulars originally,
dropships the order for the dealer who made the sale.
Usually the split in the sale price is 50%.
There is BIG MONEY to be made mailing commission circulars
and you can GET THEM FREE! The BEST WAY to get thousands
of FREE COMMISSION CIRCULARS is to advertise that you want
them. Use the ad which follows to get supply houses to
send circulars to you. Mention HOW MANY YOU CAN HONESTLY
MAIL when placing your Ad. It should read as follows:
"COMMISSION CIRCULARS WANTED! Must pay $1.00 or more.
Can mail 500 monthly. Send clean, legitimate offers ONLY!
Will acknowledge all circulars which are received."
Place the above Ad in as many publications as you can
afford. I am sure you will be pleased with the results
from this easily operated business.
12. HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER
Your daily newspaper is a GOLDMINE! It is worth hundreds
of dollars to you if you know what to do with it. There
are a dozen ways to make money with a newspaper. This is
one, easy way.
Once mail dealer collects the daily Birth Notices and
sells them to companies that specialize in baby items.
They mail their catalogs to new mothers and this man makes
a nice profit selling the names. Here is the small
classified he uses in the mechanics magazines:
"NEW MOTHER'S NAMES! None over 45-days old. 100 names on
labels, $5.00; 1,000 names, $30.00."
Another way to make money with your Daily Paper and
Newspapers from other cities is to collect the names and
addresses of NEW BUSINESSES listed DAILY in these papers.
Some days as many as 50 or 100 new businesses are listed.
You can sell them just as you sell the New Mother's Names.
Use the following ad to sell these names:
"100 NEW BUSINESSES ON GUMMED LABELS, $5.00; 1,000 NAMES,
$30.00."
13. HOW TO WRITE CLASSIFIED ADS THAT GET ORDERS
Classified Ads are not the place to sell merchandise. The
reason for the Classified Ad is to either get large
numbers of inquiries to send additional information to,or
to sell small items costing only a dollar or so. Don't
try to sell an item costing several dollars through a
classified ad! Since most classifieds contain only a few
words, it is nearly impossible to give a potential
customer all the information required to sell an item.
Write your classified ads with words that will make the
reader wish to send for more information! Or, do as I do
when trying to create more business for myself: offer to
send the reader helpful information without letting the
reader know that the helpful information is a well-written
circular designed to sell something or other. If you are
selling a book about spare time, money-making
opportunities, write an Ad like the one which follows:
NEED EXTRA MONEY? WRITE FOR FREE INFORMATION ON EARNING
BUG BUCKS AT HOME! (Your name here).
When the reader requests the FREE INFORMATION, enclose the
circular with some of your other offers. If your material
is of some value, you will undoubtedly sell your material
to a large percentage of those who answer your classified
ad. Classified Ads should be used for inquiry advertising
ONLY and not as a medium for selling merchandise the
potential buyer knows nothing about. After all, the buyer
can know little about what you are selling if you only
have a small ad with a few words. He needs MORE
INFORMATION, or you won't make a sale, or a dent in this
business of mail order.
To write a GOOD CLASSIFIED AD THAT WILL GET ORDERS is not
a difficult as one might think. Look over publications
like the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and take note of the ads that
continue to run year after year! These ads MUST PULL
ORDERS or the advertiser would not continue to place the
ad issue after issue, year after year. NOTE that most of
these ads HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE ITEM
BEING SOLD. The ads are simply EYE-CATCHERS. An ad might
read: "EARN $200 WEEKLY in your spare time." What the
potential customer receives might be a bunch of circulars
advertising fishing rods at discounts, vitamins, shoes and
baby clothes. This might not be believable to you, so
take some time and answer a few of these ads and list the
addresses that you have requested information from and you
will be very surprised at what you receive. We don't
suggest doing business in this manner, but most of these
advertisers realize that people don't answer their ad and
no others. People who answer classified ads might request
information from 10 or 20 different advertisers in any one
paper or magazine, and the advertisers know this.
Use GRABBER-WORDS when you write your ads. Words such as
FREE, BIG DISCOUNTS, SPECIAL OFFER, and son on are the
words that never get old and BRING IN THE BACON. Use
these GRABBER-WORDS in your ads and DON'T FORGET to keep
your ads SHORT AND SWEET! The more words, the less
readers you will have. People scan ads very quickly and
read only those that CATCH THEIR EYE. 10 well-written
words (not counting your company name and address) is all
it takes to get a potential buyer if you use those
GRABBER-WORDS and DON'T REQUEST stamps, self-addressed,
stamped envelopes and other "ad killers". People are in a
hurry and asking for a stamp or an envelope can actually
kill-off 99% of those who have written to you for more
information. If you can't afford to send the additional
information to a curiosity seeker for free (you pay the
postage), then DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EXPENSIVE
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING! You would do better to sell
apples and pencils on a street corner.
14. HOW TO GET ORDERS IN YOUR MAILBOX 365-DAYS A YEAR
Do you want to receive orders EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR? You
can if you have a post office box and if you sell
something that people want. I'll try to explain what
people need so that you can profit from what I have
learned over the years. Most dealers believe that a
profit cannot be made unless items with large price tags
are offered to the buying public. This is far from the
truth. To keep the mail coming in on a regular basis it
is important to use "good will" and "leader" items. These
are good-pulling offers that keep the dollars rolling-in
DAILY, in an average week leader items selling for a
couple of quarters or a dollar can bring in dozens and
dozens of orders. Offering valuable information, for
example, with price tags of 50› and $1.00 build customer
interest and can create regular, repeat buyers.
For years I have offered information for 50› and $1.00 and
find that these are not only big sellers, but build
customer trust and a mailing list that I can use over and
over again. Most of my "cheap" offers are short,
mini-folios containing only a few thousand (and helpful)
words. My cost is only a few pennies to print. My profit
margin is not enormous, with the present cost of
envelopes, printing and postage, but those who send me
quarters and dollars usually return with much larger
orders. My repeat trade has always been above 50%.
Selling information for a dollar or less may not seem very
profitable to you but getting the names of interested mail
buyers is the name of the game.
Selling Big Mails is an excellent way to get names of mail
buyers. After you get 100 orders, you can sell these
names for up to $5.00 per 100. You can get enormous
response to your ads if you just use your imagination. If
you have a particular piece of information that hasn't
made the rounds, put the material in your own works and
sell it. One dealer sells the addresses of several
companies that offer wholesale printing and his ad reads
as follows: "CHEAP PRINTING! List of 50 discount
printers, $1.00." This ad produces 20 to 30 orders EVERY
DAY OF THE YEAR. That is more than $9,000 a year from
one, small classified ad. YOU CAN EASILY DUPLICATE THIS
MAN'S EFFORTS, TOO! Simply sell a good piece of
information and watch the dollars roll-in everyday! This
is how to keep your mailbox full 365-days a year.
15. A MAILORDER BUSINESS YOU CAN START WITH NO INVESTMENT
One man I know has turned "trash mail" into a profitable
business. He saves every circular he receives as they are
like money in the bank. He receives many orders for his
OPPORTUNITY PACKETS at $1 and $2 each. Presently he is
listed on dozens of mailing lists due to regularly writing
for Free Information to dealers advertising in various
publications. Everything he receives is saved in boxes
and later stuffed into 6x9 kraft mailing envelopes,
weighing 2 ounces each. His only cost to run his business
is for the placement of the following classified ad in
several national magazines:
"START YOUR OWN HOME BUSINESS! $1.00 BRINGS HUNDREDS OF
HOMEWORK OPPORTUNITIES."
The SECRET to making this Plan work for you is to place
your classified ads in small newspapers and not in
mailorder publications appealing to mail dealers.
EVERYONE is looking for an EXTRA BUCK and this small AD
will not only bring in the orders, but you will be helping
others interested in making money at home locate a
supplier that will dropship items for them. Since most of
the offers are of the dropship type that this man mails to
those replying to his Ads, he also helps the dealers who
have something of value to sell. This business can be
operated year 'round and MORE MONEY CAN BE MADE if you can
offer circular mailing to other dealers. The man who runs
this "trash mail" business charges $2.00 to mail 100
circulars (any size) for other dealers. Not only does he
make a good living selling the circulars he receives in
the mail, but he also makes EXTRA CASH by mailing the
circulars of other mail dealers.
