60 Ways To Increase Your Mail Order Catalog Sales
Perfection in a mail order catalog is like infinity...you can
continually approach it but never quite reach it. In the case of
many catalogs, however, it is not necessary to achieve perfection
or even approach it very closely - in order to make the catalog
vastly more profitable than it is at present. Relatively small
improvements can result in a more-than-proportionate enlargement
of that all-important figure on the bottom line of the financial
statement.
Making as many improvements as possible as quickly as possible is
probably the most profitable procedure. But even making each new
catalog a little better than the one which preceded it can
produce substantial increases in sales per catalog and in total
sales over a period of time.
Following are 60 suggestions that should help your catalog do a
better selling job for you if you are not already using these
ideas. Whether you use all of them in connection with your next
catalog or adopt a few at a time in the course of producing
several future catalogs, the ultimate result should be very
noticeable and very gratifying.
BEFORE YOU CREATE YOUR CATALOG....
1. Look at your present catalog with extremely cold, critical and
unsympathetic eye. Pick out all the faults-large or small-that
you could find if you were no longer the owner of the catalog but
a nitpicking customer who has been disappointed in his or her
last purchase from you and is still sore about it. Such a review
could be very enlightening-even if it should prove slightly
embarrassing-and could make your new catalog much more
profitable.
2. Put your "letterman" on your team. Review all incoming
correspondence from customers and prospects during the last two
years for comments, suggestions or criticisms that may be helpful
in preparing your new catalog. Screen all future correspondence
of this nature as it arrives and place copies of the useful
letters in a special file to be reviewed before starting your
next catalog.
3. Think of your catalog as a means of helping your prospects
accomplish something they want to accomplish or create an effect
they want to create-and prepare your layouts, copy and
illustrations accordingly.
4. For each major type of product you sell, determine as many
reasons as possible why different groups of prospects or
customers do buy or should buy this product. Arrange your groups
of prospects or customers in their orders of importance. For each
group arrange the reasons for buying in order of their
importance. Then arrange the reasons in their order of importance
to your total group of prospects or customers. Use the most
important reasons as the basis for the copy and illustrations you
use in this catalog.
If there are significant differences in the primary reasons for
purchasing different types of products, make the presentation for
each specific type of product fit the product of using the same
type of presentation for different types of products...
5. If the preceding reasons indicate that different appeals are
needed for different groups of prospects or customers, change the
wrap-around, letter or introductory page of your catalog to
appeal to different groups, and separate your mailings
accordingly.
6. Plan your catalog completely before you start preparing
layouts and copy.. Use all 60 suggestions in this list as your
guide for your planning..
7. Plan to ring your cash register more often by using approaches
in tune with the times.
8. Plan to attract new customers-reactivate dormant customers-and
get bigger and better orders from present customers by adding new
and excitement and extras pleasure to owning or using the types
of products offered in your catalog.. For example, feature
dramatic new items, unusual items, items that are especially
timely, etc... Include unusual facts of interest about specific
items.
9. Plan to add interest to your catalog-and give it a much longer
life--by including helpful information on how to use, operate and
maintain your products...unusual uses, etc.. This is information
that customers can use to advantage and will want to keep for
future reference, Such information also increases customer
confidence in your company which correspondingly increases the
customer's inclination to buy from you.
10.. Determine whether items that were unprofitable or barely
profitable in the present catalog should be promoted more
vigorously in the new catalog or should be dropped and replaced
by new products, Never keep an unprofitable product in your
catalog just because it is one of your favorites. If it doesn't
sell, get rid of it!
11. Give your company a distinctive personality. Promote this
personality in all future catalogs as a means of making your
company not "jut another mail order marketer" but a very special
marketer in the minds of your prospects and customers.
WHEN YOU CREATE YOUR NEW CATALOG...
Use Procedure 12 to 19 to make your prospects want your products:
12. Write your copy to tie in with and stimulate the specific
reasons for buying discussed in the preceding section.
13. Wherever possible show your prospects how your merchandise
can accomplish the results desired by the prospects to a greater
degrees than competitive products-and prove it by citing results
of lab tests, field tests, wards received, other special
recognition- and especially testimonials and case history
stories, preferably with photographs. Give the prospect every
possible incentive to buy from you rather than somebody else.
14. Put special emphasis on your products and/or services which
are exclusive or markedly superior to those of your
competitors-and tell your readers WHY your products and/or
services are superior!
15. Take the prospect "behind the scenes" if practical and show
what you do (especially exclusive or improved procedures) to make
your products better than competitive products.
16. Make the most of new items the first time you offer them;
they are only new once.. Give them every opportunity to succeed
saleswise by giving them preferred position and allowing adequate
space for you to do a proper educational and selling job on them
at the time they are introduced.
17. Assure prospects that is easy to use these products...that
instructions are included with each order (if true) and/or are
available in specific books or magazines (preferably obtainable
from you)...and cite case histories to prove how successful other
customers have been in using them.
18. Tell prospect how to start using your merchandise properly
and what other action should be taken-and when-or state that this
information will be included with the shipment.
19. If your products are bought primarily for pleasure or are
considered a luxury or "non-necessity", help the prospect
rationalize the value of the purchase.
Use Procedures 20 to 26 to make it easy as possible for the
prospect to make an accurate selection of the types of
merchandise and the specific items of each type best suited for
his or her purposes:
20. Group all items of the same type in the same section of your
catalog.
21. Arrange the groups of items in their present or potential
order of importance to you profitwise. Put the most important
group at the front of your catalog and the least important near
the end of your catalog (but not on the last three pages).
22. Within each group , arrange the individual items in
descending order of quality, price, popularity or promotional
possibilities.
Give the most important items the most valuable positions and
extra space for copy and illustrations. Allocate positions and
space to the other items in the order of their importance.
23. If practicable, use the Sears system of offering the same
type of item in three different qualities-- GOOD, BETTER and
BEST- with different price ranges to match the differences in
quality. Usually it is more effective to talk about the BEST
quality first and the GOOD quality last.
24. Use COMMON copy to present features or qualities that are the
same for all or most items of the same type.
25. Use INDIVIDUAL copy to talk about the features or qualities
that make each specific item different from all or most of the
other specific items in the group.
26. In preparing the INDIVIDUAL copy above, use "parallel
construction" to help the prospect make a point-by-point
comparison of the specific items as quickly, easily and
accurately as possible.
Once the prospects have selected the merchandise they wish to
buy, make it as easy as possible for them to order Procedures
27-31
27. Be sure your ordering information is easy to understand.
28.. Make your order form easy to use, with adequate space to
write the necessary information.
29. Put in one or more extra order forms to make it easier for
customers to order again..
30. Encourage prospects to order by phone on credit, charge or
c.o.d. sales and encourages them to telephone for further
information they may desire.
31. Offer a 24-hour phone-in service through an arrangement with
a local telephone answering service who can answer your phone
during the hours that your business is nor normally open.. This
is especially convenient for the customer who shops in your
catalog during evening or weekend hours.
Make it as easy as possible for customers to pay for their orders
Procedures 32 and 33
Offer credit card service on orders for a specified amount or
more.. By putting a minimum on credit card orders you will often
increase the original order to at least that minimum amount.
Credit card orders tend to be nearly double the size of cash
orders.
33. Make it easy to determine shipping charges so they can be
included in cash-with-order payments.
Use order starters and sales stimulators such as 34 to 42
34. Use a wrap-around letter on the front of your catalog to
stimulate ,ore orders and to do a selling job on the merchandise
in the catalog; also to make special appeals to special groups or
call attention to merchandise in the catalog of special interest
to special groups.
35. Use the wrap-around to offer order starters (loss leaders or
hot items to get prospects in to the catalog).
36. Offer specials at intervals throughout the catalog to entice
readers to start an order. Once they buy even one lonely item
they'll tend to order other items to go with it.
37. Offer logical assortments of mixed or matched seasonal items
to provide extra variety and pleasure at any given period of
time. Make suggestions for these assortments and provide
inducements for prospects to order them.
38. Offer assortments of mixed or matched items designed for use
during different seasons in order to provide variety and pleasure
throughout the year (or most of it) instead of during just one
season.
39. Offer a free guide or plan for using each assortment above
correctly and offer information on how to make the most effective
overall use of the assortments.
40. Offer a gift or discount for orders of certain sizes and use
a stairstep graduated approach to increase the value of these
discounts or gifts as the size of the order increases.
41. Offer a gift-shipping with gift cards.
42. Provide extra services such as "Seeker Service" for items not
listed in the catalog. Through extra service techniques you will
make your customers more dependent on the information you provide
and they will become more dedicated customers.
Stimulate promptness in ordering Procedures 43 and 44
43. Use action incentives to spark early orders, such as premiums
for ordering by a specified date; special offers for a limited
time only; etc. When a time limit is involved, send a reminder
(letter, promotional mailing, second catalog, etc) timed to
arrive two weeks ahead of expiration date (as nearly as you can
time it with current third class mail service).
44. Mention frequently and prominently in your catalog that
anyone who orders merchandise from this catalog will
automatically receive the next catalog free. If you wish, this
offer can be modified to require the purchase of a specified
amount during the life of the catalog or by a specified date.
Other suggestions Procedures 45 to 53
45. Use the back cover of your catalog for special offers; also
the inside front and back covers and the pages facing the inside
covers.
46. Use teaser copy and cross-references throughout the catalog
to entice readers (into other sections. This can be especially
effective when related accessory items are sold.
47. Concentrate service information on a Service Page; locate it
on a page conveniently adjacent to the order form; and use
frequent cross-references to this page throughout the catalog to
stimulate extra page traffic.
48. Humanize yourself and your catalog by making it seem like the
catalog came from helpful, friendly people. If your business is
truly a "family business" don't hide that fact.
49. Watch your language! Avoid using technical "industry or
business jargon" in your selling and service copy; keep legal
phraseology to the absolute minimum in your guarantee.
50. Make your entire catalog harmonious in layout and copy style
but not monotonous. Include enough variety to keep the reader
interested instead of becoming bored.
51. Give your catalog a longer life by emphasizing the length of
time that you will be able to ship from it and suggesting that
readers keep the catalog for future reference.
52. Ask for referrals from your satisfied customers; also names
of friends who might like to receive a copy of the catalog.
Consider testing the "cluster concept" that neighbors are very
similar and nail to your customers next door neighbors.
53. Sell subscriptions to your catalog by providing a location on
the catalog for readers to remit 50 cents for a "full years
subscription to your catalog." You can also suggest that they
give a "gift subscription" to a friend very inexpensively (and
thus pay for the catalog you mail to the referral).
AFTER YOU CREATE YOUR NEW CATALOG...
54. Use the basic or major catalog to establish the value and
regular price of the merchandise. Use other, smaller catalogs or
solo mailings to promote sales from the major catalog or to
provide special reasons for buying (reduced prices on individual
items or special assortments, closeout, etc).
55. Ask the recipient to pass the catalog along to an interested
friend if the recipient already has a copy or is no longer
interested in this type of merchandise.
56. Re-mail the same catalog to your better customers 3 to 5
weeks after you mail it the first time.
57. Prepare an alternate cover for the catalog and mail the same
catalog to your entire list several weeks later. You'll find it
will do just about as well as the first mailing did.
58. Mail to your BETTER CUSTOMERS monthly, featuring items
carried in the catalog- don't rely solely on the
once-or-twice-a-year catalog.
59. Use your catalog as a package stuffer-enclose one with every
order you ship. Your best prospect is the person who just placed
an order with you and received prompt and safe delivery of the
items ordered.
60. Be prompt in acknowledging orders (with thanks), answering
inquiries, shipping merchandise and making refunds or exchanges
if necessary. Remember the old adage of that great retailer
Marshall Field, "the customer is always right." Less than 2% of
the population will intentionally try to take advantage of you
and the other 98% are well worth cultivating.
...And just as every good mail order catalog has something extra
thrown in for good measure make the customer happier...here's our
extra one for good measure!
61. If you receive a change-of-address notice from one of your
customers, immediately mail a copy of your catalog addressed to
"The New Residents at (the former address of the customer)"
because the new residents probably has tastes and interests very
similar to those of your customer-after all, he bought the same
house! To give this mailing added power, you might tip a note
onto the front cover of the book stating that "the Smiths used
our catalog regularly, maybe you'll find it equally useful."

23. Replace fluid in differential and manual transmission.
Every 50,000 miles.
24. Check brake shoes (replace if needed)
25. If you have a major repair to do, it's wise to get at least
3 estimates, if possible, before you decide.
26. Read and follow your car owner's manual - it's your car's
bible for making your car last longer.
27. Whether you are a man, woman, boy or girl, learn to do some
routine maintenance on your car yourself. A multitude of books,
videos, magazines and classes are available at your local
library that will teach you for free if you don't know. Learn
how to check your own oil, transmission fluid, tire pressure and
coolant, etc.
28. If you find a good mechanic who you can trust, stick with him
even if his prices are a bit higher - all things being equal.
You'll always save time, money and aggravation in the long run.
29. Don't race or gun your engine when you start it up.
Accelerate slowly and smoothly when your engine is cold.
30. Avoid burning rubber - it places excessive wear on the
transmission, rear end, not to mention your tires.
31. An international tire company estimated that 33% of all tires
on the road are under-inflated (low air). Under-inflated tires
wear out quicker and have a tendency to blow out easier.
32. A garaged car lasts longer. A car port is next best, and a
car cover is a distant third.
33. Avoid jackrabbit starts and stops. Stop and accelerate
gradually.
34. Avoid tailgating, tire squealing turns, flying over speed
bumps, pot holes and revving your engine.
35. When possible, avoid driving your car during rush hour stop
and go traffic periods.
36. Keep front-end aligned, for longer tire life and better gas
mileage.
37. Make sure you get promised repairs in writing including how
much it will cost.
38. Avoid car dealers except to have highly specialized repairs
done that can't be done properly anywhere else.
39. It's hard to be overcharged when you get three estimates
before you have the work done.
40. Beware: Cheapest is not always the best. Normally, the best
mechanics with the best equipment and training cost more.
41. Often mechanics that charge extremely low prices have inferior
or out-dated equipment, little to no formal training or are
under-insured.
42. Complex electrical problems are so involved that serious
electrical work should be done in an "Auto Electric" shop. They
have the equipment, tool and training to do the job more
efficiently than the average mechanic.
43. If your car has "Cruise Control" use it. Using cruise control
will save you 5% to 10% of a gallon of gas on long trips.
44. Avoid constantly pressing and releasing the accelerator when
driving. This practise not only wastes fuel, but it puts
excessive wear on the drive train of your car.
45. Don't ride your brake pedal, this wears out your brake linings
pre-maturely, and wastes fuel.
46. Driving with your windows all the way down at higher speeds,
will waste 10% more gallons of gasoline than driving with them
closed.
47. Research by a major car manufacturer has revealed that neglect
of proper routine maintenance is the number one reason for the
enormous increase in car repairs being required.
48. Tires purchased at department stores such as Sears, Montgomery
Wards, K-Mart etc., can be an excellent value because many are
made by leading tire manufacturers. For a list of what
manufacturer makes which tires for what department store, write
to: Tire Information Center, P.O. Box 677, Syosset, NY 11791
49. When purchasing or changing tires, make sure you have them
spin balanced.
50. Avoid cleaning your windshield with a dry rag or towel. Always
dampen with water or some other cleaning liquid. Dry towels
grind and scratch your windshield hindering your visibility.
51. Avoid turning on the car air-conditioning while running at
highway speeds as this tends to put an immediate heavy load on
your compressor and clutch. This could cause excessive wear and
tear on these components. Instead turn your air conditioner on
at car speeds below 25 to 30 m.p.h. This helps to preserve your
expensive compressor.
52. Try to avoid running your car with the tank low on gas. Keeping
a low tank of gas increases the chance of dirt, water/moisture
and rust forming in your fuel system. Keeping a full tank
decreases the chance of dirt and other foreign matter forming in
your fuel system.
53. Tires driven at 70 m.p.h. wear out almost twice as fast as cars
that go 50 m.p.h.
54. A government study has confirmed, the top three causes of car
breakdowns while on the road are: (a) running out of gas (b)
tire troubles (c) cooling system problems (overheating)
55. The best as well as the easiest ways to find a good car repair
shop is by recommendation or referrals from satisfied customers.
56. To work on a late model computer-controlled engines, make sure
the shop you choose has the equipment to handlecomputer-electric
service/repair. Sophisticated diagnostic equipment is a must.
57. To choose the right repair shop for you, it's wise to have a
small or minor maintenance or repair job done first to see how
the repair shop and mechanic treat you and your car.
58. Give detailed description of your car's problem when you take
it in for repairs. The more you can describe what your car is
doing or not doing (thumping, squealing, clacking sound, etc.)
the faster and less it will cost for your mechanic to fix it.
59. When in doubt about the cost of a repair or a mechanic's
honesty get a second opinion. This is one of the best ways to
protect yourself from being ripped-off until you can find a
permanent repair shop.
60. Regular oil changes are the most important thing you can do
to protect your engine and make it last longer.
61. If you have a manual transmission, downshift to slow your car
down instead of using your brakes. This will save wear and tear
on your braking system.
62. Each time you have your engine oil checked, have your
transmission fluid checked also.
63. Protect your car's interior and make it last longer - park
your car in the shade or place a windshield guard or cover in
the windshield.
64. If you spill something inside your car, clean it up
immediately before it dries. Delaying even 30 minutes can
sometimes leave a permanent stain or spot. NOTE: To better
protect your car seats have them treated with scotchguard.
NOTE: According to current auto insurance statistics, the
average U.S. car's useful life is 10 years or 100,000 miles. By
following proper preventative maintenance you can often double
your car's useful life, and spend less time visiting your local
mechanic.

66 Ways to Save Money
TRANSPORTATION
Airline Fares
1. You can lower the price of a roundtrip air fare by as much as
two-thirds by making certain your trip includes a Saturday
evening stayover, and by purchasing the ticket in advance.
2. To make certain you have a cheap fare, even if you use a
travel agent, call all the airlines that fly where you want to go
and ask what the lowest fare to your destination is.
3. Keep an eye out for fare wars. Be prepared to act quickly.
Car Rental
1. Since car rental rates can vary greatly, shop around for the
best basic rates and special offers.
2. Rental car companies offer various insurance and waiver
options. Check with your insurance agent and credit card company
in advance to avoid duplicating any coverage you may already
have.
New Cars
1. You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a car
by selecting a model that combines a low purchase price with low
financing, insurance, gasoline, maintenance, and repair costs.
Ask your local librarian for new car guides that contain this
information.
2. Having selected a model, you can save hundreds of dollars by
comparison shopping. Call at least five dealers for price quotes
and let each know that you are calling others.
3. Remember there is no "cooling off" period on new car sales.
Once you have signed a contract, you are obligated to buy the
car.
Used Cars
1. Before buying any used car:
a. Compare the seller's asking price with the average retail
price in a "bluebook" or other guide to car prices found at
many libraries, banks, and credit unions.
b. Have a mechanic you trust check the car, especially if
the car is sold "as is."
2. Consider purchasing a used car from an individual you know and
trust. They are more likely than other sellers to charge a lower
price and point out any problems with the car.
Auto Leasing
1. Don't decide to lease a car just because the payments are
lower than on a traditional auto loan. The leasing payments may
be lower because you don't own the car at the end of the lease.
2. Leasing a car is very complicated. When shopping, consider
the price of the car (known as the capitalized cost), your trade-
in allowance, any down payment, monthly payments, various fees
(excess mileage, excess "wear and tear," end-of-lease), and the
cost of buying the car at the end of the lease.
Gasoline
1. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by pumping gas
yourself and using the lowest-octane called for in your owner's
manual.
2. You can save up to $100 a year on gas by keeping your engine
tuned and your tires inflated to their proper pressure.
Car Repairs
1. Consumers lose billions of dollars each year on unneeded or
poorly done car repairs. The most important step that you can
take to save money on these repairs is to find a skilled, honest
mechanic. Before you need repairs, look for a mechanic who:
* is certified and well established;
* has done good work for someone you know; and
* communicates well about repair options and costs.
INSURANCE
Auto Insurance
1. You can save several hundred dollars a year by purchasing auto
insurance from a licensed, low-price insurer. Call your state
insurance department for a publication showing typical prices
charged by different companies. Then call at least four of the
lowest-priced, licensed insurers to learn what they would charge
you for the same coverage.
2. Talk to your agent or insurer about raising your deductibles
on collision and comprehensive coverages to at least $500 or, if
you have an old car, dropping these coverages altogether.
Taking these steps can save you hundreds of dollars a year.
3. Make certain that your new policy is in effect before dropping
your old one.
Homeowner Insurance
1. You can save $100 or more a year by purchasing homeowner
insurance from a low-price, licensed insurer. Ask your state
insurance department for a publication showing typical prices
charged by different licensed companies. Then call at least four
of the lowest priced insurers to learn what they would charge
you. If such a publication is not available, it is even more
important to call at least four insurers for price quotes.
2. Make certain you purchase enough coverage to replace the house
and its contents.
3. Make certain your new policy is in effect before dropping your
old one.
Life Insurance
1. If you want insurance protection only, buy a term life
insurance policy.
2. If you want to buy a whole life, universal life, or other cash
value policy, plan to hold it for at least 15 years. Cancelling
these policies after only a few years can more than double your
life insurance costs.
3. Check your public library for information about the financial
soundness of insurance companies and the prices they charge. The
July, August, and September 1993 issues of Consumer Reports are a
valuable source of information about a number of insurers.
BANKING/CREDIT
Checking
1. You can save more than $100 a year in fees by selecting a
checking account with a minimum balance requirement that you can,
and do, meet.
2. Banking institutions often will drop or lower checking fees if
paychecks are directly deposited by your employer. Direct
deposit offers the additional advantages of convenience,
security, and immediate access to your money.
Savings and Investment Products
1. Before opening a savings or investment account with a bank or
other financial institution, find out whether the account is
insured by the federal government. An increasing number of
products offered by these institutions, including mutual stock
funds and annuities, are not insured.
2. To earn the highest return on savings (annual percentage
yield) with little or no risk, consider certificates of deposit
(CDs) and treasury bills or notes.
3. Once you select a type of savings or investment product,
compare rates offered by different institutions. These rates can
vary a lot and, over time, can significantly affect interest
earnings.
Credit Cards
1. You can save as much as several hundred dollars each year in
lower credit card interest charges by paying off your entire bill
each month.
2. If you are unable to pay off a large balance, switch to a
credit card with a low annual percentage rate (APR). For a
modest fee, Bankcard Holders of America (703-389-5445) and RAM
Research Corp. (800-344-7714) will send you a list of low-rate
cards.
3. You can reduce credit card fees, which may add up to more than
$100 a year, by getting rid of all but one or two cards, and by
avoiding late payment and over-the-credit limit fees.
Auto Loans
1. If you have significant savings earning a low interest rate,
consider making a large down payment or even paying for the car
in cash. This could save you as much as several thousand dollars
in finance charges.
2. You can save as much as hundreds of dollars in finance charges
by shopping for the cheapest loan. Contact several banks, your
credit union, and the auto manufacturer's own finance company.
First Mortgage Loans
1. You may save tens of thousands of dollars in interest charges
by shopping for the shortest-term mortgage you can afford. On a
$100,000 fixed-rate loan at 8% annual percentage rate (APR), for
example, you will pay $90,000 less in interest on a 15-year
mortgage than on a 30-year mortgage.
2. You can save thousands of dollars in interest charges by
shopping for the lowest-rate mortgage with the fewest points. On
a 15-year, $100,000 fixed-rate mortgage, just lowering the APR
from 8.5% to 8.0% can save you more than $5,000 in interest
charges. On this mortgage, paying two points instead of three
would save you an additional $1,000.
3. If your local newspaper does not periodically run mortgage
rate surveys, call at least six lenders for information about
their rates (APRs), points, and fees. Then ask an accountant to
compute precisely how much each mortgage option will cost and its
tax implications.
4. Be aware that the interest rate on most adjustable rate
mortgage loans (ARMs) can vary a great deal over the lifetime of
the mortgage. An increase of several percentage points might
raise payments by hundreds of dollars per month.
Mortgage Refinancing
1. Consider refinancing your mortgage if you can get a rate that
is at least one percentage point lower than your existing
mortgage rate and plan to keep the new mortgage for several years
or more. Ask an accountant to calculate precisely how much your
new mortgage (including upfront fees) will cost and whether, in
the long run, it will cost less than your current mortgage.
Home Equity Loans
1. Be cautious in taking out home equity loans. These loans
reduce the equity that you have built up in your home. If you
are unable to make payments, you could lose your home.
2. Compare home equity loans offered by at least four banking
institutions. In comparing these loans, consider not only the
annual percentage rate (APR) but also points, closing costs,
other fees, and the index for any variable rate changes.
HOUSING
Home Purchase
1. You can often negotiate a lower sale price by employing a
buyer broker who works for you, not the seller. If the buyer
broker or the broker's firm also lists properties, there may be a
conflict of interest, so ask them to tell you if they are showing
you a property that they have listed.
2. Do not purchase any house until it has been examined by a home
inspector that you selected.
Renting a Place to Live
1. Do not limit your rental housing search to classified ads or
referrals from friends and acquaintances. Select buildings where
you would like to live and contact their building manager or
owner to see if anything is available.
2. Remember that signing a lease probably obligates you to make
all monthly payments for the term of the agreement.
Home Improvement
1. Home repairs often cost thousands of dollars and are the
subject of frequent complaints. Select from among several well
established, licensed contractors who have submitted written,
fixed-price bids for the work.
2. Do not sign any contract that requires full payment before
satisfactory completion of the work.
Major Appliances
1. Consult Consumer Reports, available in most public libraries,
for information about specific brands and how to evaluate them,
including energy use. There are often great price and quality
differences among brands.
2. Once you've selected a brand, check the phone book to learn
what stores carry this brand, then call at least four of these
stores for the prices of specific models. After each store has
given you a quote, ask if that's the lowest price they can offer
you. This comparison shopping can save you as much as $100 or
more.
UTILITIES
Electricity
1. To save as much as hundreds of dollars a year on electricity,
make certain that any new appliances you purchase, especially air
conditioners and furnaces, are energy-efficient. Information on
the energy efficiency of major appliances is found on Energy
Guide Labels required by federal law. Check with your electric
utility to learn if it has a program to help reduce the costs of
any appliance purchases.
2. Enrolling in load management programs and off-hour rate
programs offered by your electric utility may save you up to $100
a year in electricity costs. Call your electric utility for
information about these cost-saving programs.
Home Heating
1. A home energy audit can identify ways to save up to hundreds
of dollars a year on home heating (and air conditioning). Ask
your electric or gas utility if they can do this audit for free
or for a reasonable charge. If they cannot, ask them to refer
you to a qualified professional.
Local Telephone Service
1. Check with your phone company to see whether a flat rate or
measured service plan will save you the most money.
2. You will usually save money by buying your phones instead of
leasing them.
3. Check your local phone bill to see if you have optional
services that you don't really need or use. Each option you drop
could save you $40 or more each year.
Long Distance Telephone Service
1. Long distance calls made during evenings, at night, or on
weekends can cost significantly less than weekday calls.
2. If you make more than a few long distance calls each month,
consider subscribing to a calling plan. Call several long
distance companies to see which one has the least expensive plan
for the calls you make.
3. Whenever possible, dial your long distance calls directly.
Using the operator to complete a call can cost you an extra $1 to
$3.
OTHER
Food Purchased at Markets
1. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by shopping at the
lower-priced food stores. Convenience stores often charge the
highest prices.
2. You will spend less on food if you shop with a list.
3. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by comparing price-
per-ounce or other unit prices on shelf labels. Stock up on
those items with low per-unit costs.
Prescription Drugs
1. Since brand name drugs are usually much more expensive than
their generic equivalents, ask your physician and pharmacist for
generic drugs whenever appropriate.
2. Since pharmacies may charge widely different prices for the
same medicine, call several. When taking a drug for a long time,
also consider calling mail-order pharmacies, which often charge
lower prices. See the October 1993 issue of Consumer Reports
(available in most public libraries) for a list of several of
these pharmacies and their toll-free phone numbers.
Funeral Arrangements
1. Make your wishes known about your funeral, memorial, or burial
arrangements in writing. Be cautious about prepaying because
there may be risks involved.
2. For information about the least costly options, which could
save you several thousand dollars, contact a local memorial
society, which is usually listed in the Yellow Pages under
funeral services.
3. Before selecting a funeral home, call several and ask for
prices of specific goods and services, or visit them to obtain an
itemized price list. You are entitled to this information by law
and, by using it to comparison shop, you can save hundreds of
dollars.

$100 An Hour Making Exclusive 3-D Foto-Figures
This is a creative business in which you can turn your spare
time into big money, and all you really need to get started is a
few materials and your existing work shop. If you don't have a
workshop, a corner of your basement or garage will give all the
space you need.
You could have paid $14,990 for a course and setup in this
business. That's what one company has advertised in Entrepreneur
magazine. Why would you want to pay such a high price when this
brief report will show you virtually everything you will need to
know
WHAT ARE 3-D PHOTO FIGURES?
You may have seen them on display or sold under different names
such as photo sculptures, photo statues or self-standing
figurines, but the principle is the same. Basically, they are
photographs that have been cut and mounted onto an acrylic
background, then fastened to a base. And, they sell like hot
cakes to those who want something unique and different
-especially when it is a likeness of themselves, a relative,
their home, or favorite pet.
INVESTMENT NEEDED
If you'll be starting from scratch, your total investment
should not exceed $200... and it should be considerably less if
you already have a home workshop in your basement.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
These are the basic tools you'll need:
Variable speed scroll saw
Belt sander (or sand paper)
Drill & drill bits
Scissors
Goggles
Spray adhesive
Hand Vacuum
Work table ( or picnic bench)
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU MAKE?
If you have just a few spare hours available each week, you
should be able to make a nice part time income, a few hundred
dollars or more once you get rolling in this business. Here's a
breakdown of approximate costs and selling prices for the
various size photo figures:
Approximate Cost Approximate
Size Cost to Make Selling Price
-----------------------------------------------
3X5 $1.40 $10.00
5x7 $1.90 $14 to $18
8x10 $3.95 $20 to $25
16x20 $5.00 $30 to $35
Now, figure in your labor and the time necessary to make such
figure which will be about 15 minutes when you complete a few
practices jobs and become accustomed to working with this
material.
Using the largest size as an example, if you had an assignment
for jut 4 figures and you completed each in 15 minutes, this
gives you a gross of $120 FOR an hour's work. Now subtract your
production cost of $5 each or $20 for the four figures, and you
still come up with $100.
Naturally, all jobs won't be for the larger size, but you could
(if you really wanted to) specialize, only in the size to make
the biggest net profits. You might do better, however, if you
will provide all sizes to attract the most customers.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT - AND PROFITS
Although this is relatively easy work, a certain amount of
practice will be needed to become proficient. Just how much
practice you will need depends on how skillful you are in
working with your handS. If you already have a workshop in which
you have done creative work, you will probably master 3-D
Figures in just a few minutes after getting a "feel" for the
acrylic materials. Otherwise, it might take an hour or two
before you begin feeling comfortable at this job.
HOW AND WHERE TO BUY YOUR ACRYLICS
Check your local Yellow Pages under Plastics. Acrylic is
generally sold in 4x8 foot sheets, such as wall paneling, but
ask if they will cut yours into smaller 2 x 4 foot sizes, which
will make the material easier to handle when you begin cutting
and gluing.
Be sure to check several sources because prices can often vary
greatly among suppliers. You shouldn't have to pay more than
$100 for a 4 x 8 foot, quarter inch sheet. In fact, ask if they
have scrap pieces available that you can buy. If so, this could
save you a lot of money.
YOU'RE NOW READY TO MAKE 3-D FIGURE
Make sure your shop or working area is well lighted and
ventilated. If you don't already have a scroll saw and have to
buy one, select one with a fast speed because the faster the
speed, the smoother the cut. Always use a sharp blade in your
saw - a fine blade for cutting small details, a wider blade for
larger area cuts. CAUTION: If the blade isn't sharp, it tends to
melt the acrylic.
Take one of your practice photos and begin cutting out the
primary subject for your figure. The primary subject is what you
want to highlight, such as a head and shoulders figure of a
person, an entire group of people, a car, house, pet, etc. All
background areas will be eliminated.
DO NOT cut close to the subject, but allow about an inch all
around making sure your scissors are sharp right to the points.
The size and shape of your acrylic backing will of course depend
on the size of the subject. You'll want to pre-cut a section of
acrylic that will accommodate your photo. A good adhesive for
this is a photo mount spray glue, available at most photo
stores. Before you glue the photo to the plastic, blow away any
remaining dust or plastic chips from the surface or they will
show through the picture.
To mount your photo, first spray your acrylic, then lay one edge
of your photo down and gradually bring it down to the other
edge. You only have one shot at this step, so sure you're
practicing on your own photos before attempting to work for
someone else.
Keep your glue away from fire and flame, and allow plenty of
ventilation to protect yourself from fumes. You can use a rubber
roller to smooth out the photo and eliminate air bubbles. The
glue will dry completely in about 15 minutes.
Now you're ready to make final cut around that border you had
originally left on. Lay the picture down, face up, and begin
cutting... moving the acrylic into blade. To make cuts in the
middle of a photo, such as between arms and legs, drill a hole
where you want to cut... then insert the blade in the drilled
hole and cut out the portion you want removed.
NEXT, INSTALL THE BASE
The base is what will make your figure stand upright and it can
be either a rectangle shape or cut free form - whichever will
make the picture look best. Be sure to sand all edges before
gluing the base. Super glue will probably be your best choice
for this.
When your figure is finished, examine it carefully to make sure
you have made all the right cuts in the right places, that all
edges have been sanded smooth, and that it stands straight on
the base. Now, put the finished figure into a plastic bag for
protection, or have small boxes ready.
At this point it would be a good idea to have small labels
printed with your name and address to put on the bottom (or
back) of each figure. When someone picks it up, they will see
who made it and this can produce a lot of extra business for you.
Don't be afraid to experiment (on your own photos, of course) to
create new and different ideas that will be saleable. For
example, acrylic comes in a variety of colors, so you can
standardize on black or white... or experiment with your color
for the backing and another for the base; or, you might want to
arrange your figures on layers of different size and color
backings. Let your imagination guide you.
SETTING UP YOUR BUSINESS
We've just covered the creative end of 3-D photo figures, but
now we must find an outlet for them, first establishing a
business. You'll need official stationery for this, so decide
what you will call your business, or just use your own name;
John's 3-D Figures or something like that. Any local quick print
shop can print your name and address on letterheads and
envelopes, and it would be a good idea to also include business
cards as well as Statements and Order Forms.
MARKETING YOUR CREATIONS
Check your local photo shops to find out if they offer such a
product to their customers. If not, you have virgin territory.
If they do, see if you can beat the prices they pay and sell
for. Show them a few of your samples and offer to work with them
on a 50/50 arrangement. You do all the work, they make sales to
their own customers. If you have 5 or more shops working with
you this way, the business should keep you pretty busy.
Of course, if you would prefer not to share your profits, you
might want to sell directly to the public. To do this, run small
ads in your local newspapers, something like this:
YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOS COME TO LIFE
Beautiful Lifelike 3-D Figures. Skillfully crafted and mounted
on durable, colorful acrylic. Show off your prize possessions or
those you love on these free-standing 3-D Photo Figures. A
perfect gift for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas and other
holidays. A cherished lifetime gift for as little as $9.95.
Phone ______ (Your name & address)
You can enhance the above ad by including a small picture of one
of your 3-D photo figures, or several samples, to show what they
look like for those who don't know.
SELL BY MAIL
These 3-D Photo Figures make an ideal mail order item, so your
might want to establish your own mail order business. To do this
properly, however, you should keep your ad small (to reduce the
cost) and ask readers to write for information
To those who write, send a friendly letter and circular/brochure
illustrating your sample figures. Include an order form
including your size and prices for the various figures.
Naturally, you will have to ask potential customers to send you
the photo they want mounted, with full assurance that it will be
beautifully created into a 3-D Photo Figure that they will be
proud to display or give as a gift.
Using the pricing example on Page 1 of this report, you can
determine the price for your customers based on your cost, size
of the finished product, and the length of time it requires to
complete.
However you decide to sell your creations, you can quickly build
this into a very profitable part time (or fill time) business in
which you can make $100 or more per hour. Even if you work only
10 hours a week, $1000 weekly isn't to be scoffed at.

Audiotapes and videocassettes are as common as books right now,
and there is an expanding need for reproduction services.

opportunities for tape duplication. Audiobook publishers use tape
duplicating services. Musicians need promotional tapes of their
work. Travel companies often want videos of the trips they offer.
Parents want copies of their home movies to send to the
grandparents. With more than seventy percent of the households in
the United States having videocassette recorders, there is a

market. The basic equipment to do the job cost less than two
thousand dollars, and with some looking around you might find it

Videotape copying services can be offered at five to ten dollars
an hour. If you have several machines in operation, you can see

original recordings, and then do the duplication, too. This will
be more expensive and require more expertise, so you may want to

45 Professional Tips To Cut Big Gasoline Bills
1. Before getting into your car, ask yourself "Is this
trip necessary?"!
2. On short trips, try walking or bicycling. It's good
exercise.
3. Consider car-pooling and share the gas bill and ride.
4. Always use the shortest route and avoid sightseeing
trips and bottlenecks.
5. Organize activities and perform as many errands as
possible in one trip.
6. If possible, avoid driving during rush-hour & other
peak traffic periods.
7. When bargain hunting, check newspaper ads and use
your telephone.
8. Do they deliver? Let them pay for the gas! Try mail
order firms, too.
9. Make a list and do all the grocery shopping once or
twice a week.
10. Let the kids run some of the errands. Let them walk
to school, too.
11. Public transportation may be cheaper, especially when
traveling alone.
12. Pack as little in your car as necessary so it has
less weight to carry.
13. Shop around for service stations with the lowest
gasoline prices.
14. Check to see if there are "self service" gas stations
in your area.
15. Don't speed. Cars get about 21% more mileage at 55
mph then at 70 mph.
16. Better planning reduces the need for speeding, to get
there in time.
17. When starting your car, don't idle it for more than
30 seconds, even in cold weather. Today's cars are
designed to be driven almost immediately.
18. If you must stop for more than 30 seconds, don't idle
your car. The engine os more fuel efficient if your turn
it off and restart it.
19. Drive evenly with a steady foot. Avoid jiggling the
accelerator.
20. Keep tires properly inflated at all times. (Check
pressure when cold).
21. Use air conditioning only when necessary. Try
opening the window.
22. Avoid "jackrabbit" starts. When starting, press
accelerator slowly.
23. Avoid panic stops. When possible, coast to stops
such as traffic lights.
24. Remove items that cause wind resistance, such as
luggage racks.
25. Don't forget to release the emergency brake before
pulling away.
26. Never rev engine before killing it. This wastes gas,
wears out cylinders.
27. Keep tuned to radio traffic reports & avoid traffic
jams, other delays.
28. Make certain your gas cap fits properly.
29. Use the lowest octane gas that won't make your engine
knock.
30. Use only your right foot for accelerating and
braking. That way you can't accidentally ride the brake
and use excessive gas.
31. Shift into high gear as soon as possible. If you
have automatic transmission, lift your foot from the
accelerator about one second early.
32. Pass other cars as soon as you see you are overtaking
them. Don't wait.
33. Keep your car properly tuned for top fuel efficiency.
34. Keep brakes properly adjusted. Dragging brakes
increases resistance.
35. Operate as small a car as possible for your driving
needs. (Small cars weighing half as much as large cars
use about half as much gasoline!)
36. Avoid cars with gas-consuming options such as air
conditioning; power equipment such as window, door locks,
etc.; automatic transmission, etc.
37. In hot climates, drive a car with light colored
exterior and interior, to reflect light, heat. Tinted
glass also prevents heat buildup.
38. Use radial tires for less friction between tire and
road.
39. When driving, keep your eyes moving and your feet
still!
40. Keep your steering wheel still too. The more you
weave back and forth, the farther your car has to travel
and the more gas is consumed.
41. Don't overfill your gas tank. It could leak or spill
in heat or on a hill.
42. Use snow tires and/or chains as little as necessary
because they make your car work harder and use more
gasoline.
43. When you see a hill ahead, build up speed before you
reach it, then maintain your speed on the slope. (If you
must accelerate on the hill, you will use much more fuel).
Then coast down the other side.
44. Keep wheels aligned for better mileage. Longer tire
life, too.
45. Record all gas purchases for tax deduction purposes.

1. Examine the car's exterior thoroughly. Look for
rust, dents and evidence that portions of the car have
rusted out and been repaired with body putty.
2. Look under car for breaks in the frame and signs that

- headlights, taillights, flashers, backup lights, brake
lights, turn signals, etc.
12.Push down on the corners of the car, front & back, to
check the shock absorbers. If the car bounces up & down
several times, the shocks are worn.

springs may be weak.
14.From a distance, look for evidence of an accident,
dents, paint that doesn't match, ripples in the fenders,
etc.
15.Check the spare tire. If it is cupped or worn

working condition.

the belts & hoses.

tears, dirt.

25.Turn on all the lights one at a time and check to see
they are working.
26.Take the car for a test drive over various types of
roads.
27.While on the road, test the brakes for pulling.
28.Be alert for vibrations during the drive, for signs
of front-end trouble.
29.If the car has manual transmission, be alert for
excessive play, grabbing or rattling of the clutch.
30.Look for vibrations or unusual noises from the
engine, transmission, rear end or wheels, that may be a
signal of trouble.
31.Push the gearshift through its various positions and
see how the car reacts.
32.Let the engine idle and be alert to noises or
vibrations that could indicate a badly tuned engine or one
with bad valves.
33.Be alert for any unusual odors. These could tell you
that all is not well.
34.If the automatic transmission doesn't shift smoothly
or is there is hesitation when it shifts, the transmission
may be in need of repair work.

you are in a hurry.
44.Have the man in charge put in writing & sign all
promises BEFORE YOU BUY!

37 Instant Moneymaking Part-Time Businesses
Introduction
You're on the road to success - Congratulations! You bought
this report because you want information on starting a business,
part-time at first, without investing a lot of money, yet one
that will quickly be a money-maker. You'll find a number of
them here.
In each one we give the basic concept of the business, what
product or service it provides to your customers, and how it is
operated, and (if any are necessary) what equipment or
facilities or help will be needed.
But whatever business you choose, remember that no business can
succeed without your effort. remember that determination and
hard work are the mother and father of success. If you supply
those, and use the information we supply, you can't miss. Good
luck!
1. Television Computer Pictures
Lease a computer printer and a video camera and a monitor
screen that produces large-size, high contrast portraits of
customers in 30 seconds, while they wait. You will find this a
sure-fire crowd attracter, as the printer chatters away. Set up
in a crowded resort are. Charge at least $4 a picture, framed
in a simple mat, almost all of which is gross profit. Net cost
of all materials, about 8 cents.
Hot source: The equipment to do this is available from
Sketch Division, 140 Wood Road, Braintree, Mass. 02184
2. Badge-Making
Rent a small multilith printing machine and a badge sealing
machine, and using self-adhesive Presstype for typesetting,
design and set cut sayings for the badges. Sell as a custom
service, making slogans to order, or make a wide range of
far-out sayings in bulk quantities and sell them to local gift
and novelty shops for resale.
3. Run a "Consignment Shop"
It requires very little capital and accepts goods for sale from
members of the public and sells these items for them on a
commission basis. You might try a wide variety of items at
first, to see what sells best and most regularly.
4. Picture Framing, In Your Own Home
Relatively inexpensive materials with a good sense of color and
style and a reasonable ability with carpentry tools, will build
a large custom-framing business, since people who spend money on
art won't skimp on the frames either, if they want a
good-looking result.
5. Rental Equipment
Be the source of supplies for do-it-yourselfers. Working only
Saturdays and Sundays, when they do, you rent out power tools,
such as circular saws, jigsaws, reciprocating saws, gasoline
chain saws, electric drills, electric planers, belt and orbital
sanders, routers, paint sprayers, wallpaper-removal steamers,
staple guns, pumps, home cleaning machines, Roto-tillers, and
other equipment for daily fees. Operate out of your garage.
6. Talent Bureau, For Kid's or Adults' Parties
Using local ads, or your own contacts, line up 10 to 20 local
entertainers, magicians, comics, puppeteers and other talents,
and supply them for parties, club meetings and other functions.
Have a list of films you can also supply for the same, or other
groups, which they can project themselves, if they wish, or you
will supply an operator.
7. Throwing Parties for Profit
Everyone loves to go to a party, and nowadays some smart
operators make a mint running them for everybody who wants to
attend. You can too! Hire a hall and a band, plan to set up a
bar (if you can get a temporary liquor permit), and promote the
hell out of it with ads, handbills, bumper stickers and
lamp-post posters. Special parties aimed at a particular group
do best, such as singles, or under-thirties, or over-forties.
This idea is especially good in college towns.
8. Start a Hobby Center
Make money on your unused space (and maybe the power tools
you've already paid for!) Turn your basement into a woodworking
center, your spare bedroom into a photo darkroom, and your
garage into a pottery workshop with a wheel and a small kiln.
Rent the space and equipment by the hour, expand into more
hobbies as time and money permit, and charge additional fees for
instruction in any of those fields you're good at.
9. Organize a Babysitting Service
One of the troubles most people find is that their babysitter is
always busy just the night they want to go out. You set up a
service, finding good reliable teenage girls and boys,
middle-aged or older women, and act as a go-between, providing
sitters whenever your customers want them, collecting the fees,
and paying the sitters. Advertise your service, and handbills
house-to-house locally being a good way.
10. Make Money From Your Hobbies
Are you an expert at something that you do at home for fun?
Then make it pay off for you! If you're a gourmet cook, give
cooking lessons in the haut cuisine. If you're an accomplished
painter in oils or water-color, offer a portrait-painting
service. If you're a skilled carpenter, design and make custom
cabinets to order. Almost any hobby you're good at can be
turned to making a profit if you think about it carefully, and
decide who could use your expertise - as a consultant in that
field, if nothing else. All you really have to do to get
started is to place an ad!
11. Publish a Buy/Swap Paper in Your Town
Get money from both ends in this sweetheart deal. Publish the
weekly paper with classified ads from the public offering stuff
for sale, arranged according to category, and charge the people
for their ads (some operators let them pay only if and when they
sell, but in that case charge them a percentage of the selling
price, 5% for smaller items, 2% or 3% for automobiles), and then
sell the newspaper (suggest price is 25 cents) as well, through
local newsstands and by subscription (in the mail). Once you
have a fairly decent circulation, local merchants will also pay
you for display ads, because they know people really read buy
and swap newspapers religiously cover-to-cover.
12. Do Custom Photo Developing
Quality is essential, and speed is generally also required,
although you can charge a premium for rush service. If you
already have an elaborate dark-room set-up in your home, so much
the better, but if not it can be fitted in anywhere you have
room, the basement being ideal, since windows are not a
requirement. You must be able not only to develop and print
every normal size of film from 35 mm to 8" x 10" but handle
enlargements up to a minimum of 30" x 40", and preferably 5" 8*"
or more, and do copying both of opaque material and slides. An
ability to offer retouching, restoration and coloring as well is
helpful, even if you have to send that specialized work out.
13. Publish a Part-Time Jobs Directory
Make this a newsstand book, as well as offering it, with small
ads, by mail order. List all the possible jobs people can get
part-time, especially angling it at college kids on vacation,
teachers after school hours, housewives with time on their
hands, and moonlighters looking for part-time second jobs.
14. Run a Children's "Explorer Club"
Take kids on Saturday and Sunday outings. Ten kids each day,
to zoos, farms, theaters, children's shows and sports events. A
small micro-bus (rented and, or eventually bought) can be used
to travel in. Many parents are delighted to have weekend days
to themselves, even though it costs them some dough.
15. Be an Instructor
Teach whatever you know. Your trade, profession, cooking
skills, a second language, woodworking, chess, photography,
knitting, karate, bridge, auto repair, etc. People will pay for
good lessons in these useful and enjoyable skills.
16. Run a Floor Scraping/Polishing Service
You buy or (at first) rent, a heavy-duty machine, and do the
cleaning and waxing of fine, hardwood floors. If the floors are
in very bad condition, machine sand them and them completely
refinish them with modern super-durable polyurethane finishes.
17. Operate a Children's Hotel
This is sort of a "boarding house" for kids while their parent
go away for a week-end or two-week vacation. Requires a large
house, and preferably, a large yard or grounds, swings, slides,
and facilities useful for kids. Must be done very responsibly
and carefully. Also, don't take very young children (less than
9 or 10 say) because they may require too much dressing,
feeding, etc.
18. Start a Mail-Order Business
Write a booklet about something people really want to know
about, print a few hundred copies, and place some small ads.
You'd be surprised how much money you can make. Sell modern
copies of out-of-print uncopyrighted material or books. Or sell
something unusual you make at home, providing that it is
something really useful to your prospective customers. Or sell
some of your ideas such as #2 badges, #37 genealogy, and others.
19. Operate a Xerox Copy Center
The secret of this is not just selling one or two copies of each
original (although on a 300-page original manuscript, that can
add up too), but using one of the latest high-speed high-quality
mass-production Xeroxes so that you can compete with the guys
operating those quick printing services, by turning out 100 or
200 resumes, letters, or circulars just as fast, and probably a
great deal faster, for the same (or potentially less if you want
to be competitive) money as they charge. This way you have two
kinds of work, giving you twice as many customers, and twice the
profit opportunity, and with the right location, a chance to
clean up.
If you want to offer even more services, and have the space in
your shop, as well as the potential customers, you can offer
Xerox reductions (New York Times-size page down to 8-1/2"x11"),
and Xerox copies in full-color, which are remarkably good. The
color machine will also make color copies directly from 35 mm.
color slides in one quick step.
Of course, you can consider using other brands of xerographic
copiers, such as IBM, Kodak, Savin, Canon, Minolta or others,
but although you may theoretically save money, make sure of
their service policies, and that they have field servicemen in
your locality, or you may find yourself stuck with a copier on
the fritz for a week, which could ruin your business.
20. Be a Local News Correspondent
For big city papers some distance from your town. When an event
occurs in your area you write the story for those papers (they
have correspondents in many big places but not in most small
towns or isolated areas) and they pay you for it. This is known
as being a "stringer". If you're good with a camera, take
photos to accompany the story.
21. Campground Store-On-Wheels
Use either a panel truck or a camper body on a pick-up truck
chassis. Go to public park areas and campgrounds selling
charcoal, paper plates, water-melon, ice cream, eggs, milk,
bread, insect repellent, sunglasses, newspapers, etc.
22. Create a New Tour-Bus Service
Even in affluent America, not everyone has a car, and even those
who do often prefer to leave long trips to a professional bus
driver. and although there are bus tours offered to some
familiar places, there are still so many interesting, even
exciting, places people would like to go to, if they were
offered the chance. Here's where you come in. You must be
creative about it, and study all the six-State areas around your
hometown, to discover some original and different places to
travel to on day trips which will "turn on" your prospective
customers, and get them to sign up.
The rest is easy. You get competitive quotes (from commercial
bus companies) for a quality bus to do the round-trip, with a
suitable stopover at the destination point (enough to do the
sights, shop and maybe eat as well). Then you figure you tour
price per person so you can make a profit even if the bus is
only half full or so. Then you have a safety margin - and if
you sell every seat you will do very well indeed.
Then all you have to do is sell. You put little ads in your
local papers, paste up flyers wherever you can (supermarkets are
good), contact local travel agents (of course you give them a
percentage on what they sell for you), local hotel clerks, etc.,
and you also contact women's clubs, religious groups, fraternal
societies, factory social organizations, and so on (they may
take a whole bus, or even two, and you give them a special
price, naturally).
23. Run a Pet Hotel Service
For dogs or cats or both. People will pay high fees to ensure
high-quality care fo the animal they love. Separate kennels for
each animal are essential. Good food and adequate care and
attention must be assured also. You can hire responsible
teenagers to help you. Advertise with posters in pet shops,
veterinarians' offices; and if they're cheaply available, get
the mailing lists of local ASPCA groups and other animal welfare
groups, as well as membership lists of dog and cat clubs.
24. Sell Second-hand Kids Clothing
Children usually outgrow their clothes rather than wearing them
out. So many families have such clothing left around. You
collect it, paying nothing or as little as possible. Then you
resell it; you can do the selling by ads, handbills or through
your church or community groups.
25. Breed Tropical Fish
This requires only a moderate amount of space and a small
investment in equipment. Properly done, it needs only a small
amount of your time yet can make you a good profit. You can
obtain your beginning stock from the large wholesale dealers.
You can sell direct to consumers (the hobbyists) or to stores in
your area.
Hot Sources:
Betta Tropicals Inc., 1310 Unionport Rd., Bronx, NY
Tropa Co., 1685 3rd Ave., New York, NY
26. Make Plastic Engraved Signs
All you need is a simple-to-operate machine that engraves
lettering in various types onto sheets of plastic of many
colors, finishes and sizes. Perfect for signs for merchants,
banks, doctors, dentists, schools and colleges, private front
doors, and many other uses.
Hot Source for the Machine:
New Hermes Engravograph from New Hermes Inc., 20 Cooper Square,
New York, NY 10003.
27. Sell Christmas Trees
Seasonal, but if you have the time in the few weeks before
Christmas, can be a good money maker. Find a vacant storefront
or lot, or space inside a larger building, where people pass by.
But be sure to order a supply of trees enough in advance. And
if you own country land that is not being used, consider growing
the trees yourself. Your first crop can be ready in four years,
with steady crops from then on.
28. Open a Rubber Stamp Business
Manufacture them in your basement. The materials needed are
cheap. And the finished stamps can be sold to many people,
storeowners, offices, individuals. You can market them by mail
and through local merchants.
Hot Source: The machine and a financing plan to buy it ar
available from:
Rubber Stamp Division, 1512 Jarvis Ave., Chicago, IL 60626
29. Camper's Equipment Rental Service
With urban living, the back-to-nature movement is growing and
camping is becoming very popular. Rent out tents, sleeping
bags, portable propane stoves, chairs, etc. Demand
identification from customers and reliable security (keeping one
of their credit cards is good).
30. Operate a Key-Safety Service
Each customer is sold a special tag to put on his or her key
ring. It says "Drop in any mailbox" and has the address of a
post office box that you rent (Don't use your home address for
the same reason your customers shouldn't have their home address
on their keys - dishonest people finding the keys will come
prowling around). You assign each customer's tag a code number
from a list that you keep. When someone's keys arrive at your
post office box, you return them to him, for another fee.
31. Be a Used Car Buying Consultant
With a knowledge of cars, plus the proper test equipment (for
checking the engine, transmission, brakes, font-end alignment,
and chassis), you go with your customer to check out the used
car he is thinking of buying. Advertise your service next to
the ads offering used cars for sale. After a while you will get
to know people in this field and you can pick up more money by
acting as a middleman in sales between private individuals.
32. Sell "Loss Leaders" for Profit
This may sound contradictory but it isn't. Supermarkets aren't
the only ones who use loss leaders. A good mail-order idea is
offering a cute item (worth much more) for $1 in women's
magazines, giving prompt delivery and including with it stuffers
(ads with order blanks) for half a dozen more expensive items.
The repeat business on the other items makes the $1 offer
profitable.
33. Baby Items Rental Service
You rent everything needed for a baby's care - stroller,
playpen, high chair, etc. When the customer's baby outgrows
them you rent to the next couple. Of course, you must
advertise, and also send direct mail pieces to all couples with
new births (get their names from hospitals and newspapers and
list brokers).
34. Operate a "Give a Party" Service
You rent out everything needed for a party: tables, chairs,
punch bowls, table cloths, cutlery, and napkins. You can also
supply waitresses and bartenders, finding them through agencies
that supply temporary help such as Manpower. But if you can
find good workers yourself, you can save the agency fee and make
more money.
35. Operate a Miniature Slot Car Racing Track
In your basement (or wherever you can fit it) build a large and
elaborate miniature slot car racing track (with a least 6 or 8
slots). Local kids, and often adults, pay you by the hour to
race, using either your cars or theirs. To boost interest you
can hold monthly contests with trophies.
36. All-Service Service
You line up the specialists in fixing almost anything, and take
care of getting them customers by delivering handbills to homes
and placing ads in supermarkets and local papers. They pay you
5% of every job refer to them, which can soon add up.
37. Genealogy for People Who Want Roots
You seek out the records in public or university libraries,
county courthouses and elsewhere, as necessary, for a sliding
fee, depending on the size of family, difficulties in getting
information, geographic dispersion, and other factors.

36 Butcher's Suggestions For Cutting Meat Bills
1. Buy a good cookbook. Familiarize yourself with
cheaper meat cuts.
2. Have at least one meatless day each week - serve
substitutes.
3. Trade budget-stretching meat recipes with friends,
neighbors, relatives.
4. Avoid expensive canned and frozen "convenience"
meats.
5. Watch ads & stock up on genuine meat bargains. Keep
your freezer full.
6. Buy meats in economy "family-packs" when possible.
Divide and freeze for specific uses.
7. Stretch hamburger meat by adding bread crumbs,
chopped onion, egg and seasonings. Shape into patties and
grill.
8. Buy beef by the "half" or "quarter". Have it
professionally cut and store in your freezer. Sell or
trade excess with your neighbors.
9. To avoid excessive shrinkage and waste, cook
long-cooking meat over low or moderate heat or in 325
degree oven.
10. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness. This
prevents overcooking, shrinkage and drying out of meat.
11. Well trimmed meat weights less, costs less. Shop
around and find the markets that do the best trimming job.
12. Extend meat loaf and other ground-beef dishes with
mixed vegetables, mashed white or sweet potatoes, rice or
pasta.
13. Reduce amount of meat in such recipes as stews,
casseroles, chili and spaghetti sauce. Increase sauce and
vegetable.
14. For freshest meats, shop early on days when stores
are busy - generally mid to end of week. Avoid mornings
after long weekends.
15. Stir-frying stretches meat and it's fast too. To cut
into thinnest slices, partially freeze the meat. Use
round and flank steaks.
16. Use "chunky" style soups over potatoes or pasta in
place of meat.
17. Substitute small bone chuck steak for sirloin or top
round. Sprinkle with meat tenderizer before broiling or
barbecuing.
18. Rush purchased meat to refrigerator or freezer to
avoid spoilage.
19. To avoid wasting hamburger, freeze as patties instead
of as a chunk.
20. Save tough rinds from ham, bacon or hocks. Tuck into
potato, rice or noodle casseroles & bake for meaty flavor.
Discard before serving.
21. Unless you want the bone for soup, a boneless ham
usually costs less.
22. Save & freeze all meat bones and trimmings. Use in
soups and stews.
23. Buy large cuts of meat (chuck & pork roasts; thick
steaks & ham), when on sale and cut up for a variety of
uses.
24. Marinate, tenderize or braise less tender cuts of
meat before cooking.
25. Try less expensive "organ" meats: liver, heart,
brains, kidney, tripe.
26. Buy luncheon meats unsliced in a chunk. Slice them
yourself & save.
27. Buy bacon ends in economy sizes; divide and freeze.
Cook, then combine with scrambled eggs - much cheaper than
perfectly sliced bacon.
28. Get acquainted with your market's meat cutter. He
can alert you to unadvertised specials and give you good
cooking and saving tips.
29. Slice roasts and ham thin. Two thin slices look like
more on the place than one thick one.
30. You require less ground-meat mixture per serving if
you use it to stuff tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage
leaves and any type of squashes.
31. To avoid "freezer burn", which dries out and toughens
meat, rewrap all market-packaged meats in airtight freezer
wrap.
32. Save cooking liquid from New England boiled dinner,
smoked pork shoulder or brisket. Use for lentil, pea,
potato or barley soup.
33. Save all scraps of meat leftovers. Then grind or
chop them & mix with salad dressing, relish, celery &
onion for sandwich spreads and dips.
34. Make gravy from drippings. Serve on biscuits, toast,
pasta, rice, etc.
35. Dice cooked meat leftovers, mix with barbecue sauce &
serve in buns.
36. Save on "outdated" meats, but freeze or serve as soon
as possible.

HOW TO CUT ADVERTISING COSTS 75% AND MORE
Unless you can afford to run large, professionally designed
advertisements, you will find that it is very difficult to sell
products directly from ads. However, there is a very simple
solution to the problem that will allow you to advertise in a
greater number of publications, and stretch your advertising
budget as well. The answer is to run "classified" ads instead of
"display" or space ads.
But, don't attempt to sell an item through a 20 or 25 word
classified ad. Instead, you should run an "inquiry" or "teaser"
type of advertisement. Then, when inquiries come in, you can
send the prospective customer a good, hard-sell, convincing
circular, which will do the selling job for you. It is much
cheaper to print and mail an 81/2" x11" circular than to run an
81/2" x 11" ad.
And classified ads are much less expensive than display ads. In
many mail order publications, you run an effective classified ad
for about 1/4th the cost of a small display ad, or even less.
This will give you more money to spend on advertising - and more
classified ads to run in more publications.
To get a sample copy of some of the better, more reliable mail
order trade publications, send two 1st class stamps to each of
the following and ask for a sample copy:

HOW TO START THE EASIEST & MOST PROFITABLE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS
The secret is "commission circulars". These are sales circulars
and newspapers/magazine advertisements which are furnished by the
"prime source". You simply insert your name & address as the
mail order dealer and insert the ads in your favorite newspapers
and/or magazines, or have as many circulars printed as you think
necessary and distribute them in whatever manner you wish.
Then when orders arrive, you pocket your commission (generally
50%) and forward the balance on to the supplier with the
customer's order. They will fill and ship the order directly to
your customer. In this type of operation, you do not have to
stock any type of inventory, keep books, ship orders, etc. In
other words, the supplier does all the work and you get a nice
share of the profits.
For information on how you can get free commission circulars from
over 100 suppliers, (free mailing lists too) send a
self-addressed stamped envelope to: Commission Selling - Dept.
2LS/35R, P.O. Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.

TRUE FACTS ABOUT "MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING" PYRAMID PLANS
For the past few years, "pyramid" schemes and/or "multi-level"
marketing programs have been sweeping the country. They may look
like "winners" on paper, but the big question is: Do they really
work?
A reliable firm recently made an extensive survey. For over a
year they accumulated all incoming mail which advertised various
typed of pyramid and/or multi-level marketing programs.
Then, a questionnaire was designed and sent to over 5,000 of
these multi-level program participants. Of the replies received,
over 98% said they LOST MONEY!!!
As example, a man in eastern Virginia sadly told how he spent
over $7,000.00 in two years on multi-level programs. Total
income received to date: - slightly over $700.00!!!
A woman in southern California said she joined a total of 47
programs. She wrote, "I didn't even get the cost of postage
back" and "my husband is as mad as hell at me for wasting so much
money"!
Letters received from senior citizens and single parents are even
more tragic.
Less than 1/2 of one percent claimed they "broke even", but when
asked if they would be interested in joining "one more 'fool
proof' multi-level program", all but one replied "NO"!
Another little known fact about "pyramids" and/or "multi-level"
schemes is that they are illegal!! The U.S. Postal Service has
put thousands of formerly respectable mail dealers out of
business for promoting these get-rich-quick schemes. Why?
In their book "Mail Fraud Laws", U.S. Postal Service states that
the "endless chain" schemes of pyramids and multi-level marketing
are just as illegal as the old fashioned chain letters.
In addition, the book adds (and we quote), "The road to riches is
buying a distributorship for selling a common product. The big
profits are to come from recruiting agents and dealers to sell
the product. As a distributor, there are promises of a
percentage of the money his dealers put into the scheme plus
commissions on their sales."
"While all multi-level distributorships are not fraudulent, the
pyramid type resembles the illegal the illegal chain-letter
scheme. The profits come not from selling the product, but in
inducing others to put their life savings into a distributorship.
Where a scheme flourishes, the supply is soon exhausted and the
new investors are left with a faded dream......".
Postal Inspectors recommend that one should: "Be wary if the
promoters are more interested in selling distributorships than
they are a product or service that consumers need". And to "Ask
those selling franchises for the names and addresses of those
making the fabulous profits. also, "Ask to see their business
records, and interview those actually operating a franchise"/
"Also, check the company with your Better Business Bureau".
Another good idea when you are solicited to join one of these
programs, is to take the sales literature you receive to your
local Postal "Fraud" Inspector and ask them for their opinion.
this little act won't cost you anything and could save you a lot
of time and money (and even legal fees)!!
Also, beware of schemes where you are instructed to send checks
to a number of different names and addresses. This is a sure
sign that you are joining an illegal endless chain. Also, watch
out for schemes where you are assigned a number, and/or others
use a number instead of their right name and address. (What are
they afraid of? Or are they trying to throw Postal authorities
off their trail?)
A good tip to keep in mind is when any sales material you receive
in the mail states that it is "not illegal" or "perfectly legal"
- or something similar - it usually is 100% ILLEGAL, and can get
you into more trouble than you've ever bargained for. And always
keep in mind, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse!"
But, if you don't believe these facts, by all means join as many
get-rich-quick schemes as you can afford. You can bet your life
that someone will appreciate your money and may be getting rich
just as quick as their sales literature promises - but we bet it
won't be you.
And don't be surprised if one day you get a formal "request" from
Postal Authorities asking you to immediately discontinue your
mail order activities!
In any event, if you are one of many who have faith in these
rip-off schemes and confidence that they can make you an
overnight millionaire, we have just three words for you: "Good
Luck, Sucker!"

HOW TO OPERATE A MONEY-MAKING PRINT SHOP WITH NO PRESS
All businesses need printing. If you can provide everything from
business cards to specialty items like duplicate forms, you can
earn a large, annual income without operating a printing press.
A Florida mail order dealer has successfully sold specialty
printing for nearly 20 years and has never owned a printing
press, bought ink, set type for a letterhead or wrapped an order
for shipping. This man is known as a "printing broker" or
"printer's agent". He contracts jobs and ships orders to a
printer in another state. He pockets good commissions. His
orders are filled and shipped within seven working days. Last
year he earned top dollar as a printer and didn't do any hard
labor or even get his fingers dirty with printer's ink.
This type of business can be run by anyone, anywhere. It can be
operated full or part time. The investment is ZERO! Your only
cost may be a few dollars for a small classified ad in your local
newspaper. If you can keep prices below the competition, you
won't need to go begging for business. And, if you can provide
quality printing and fast service, in addition to low prices, you
will never have to worry about "repeat" orders from your
satisfied customers.
To get started, study mail order publications and locate printers
that operate within about 1,000 miles of you. Write to these
printers requesting their LOWEST rates. Tell them you are a
printing broker and can send them much business in the future if
their prices, quality and services are right. Also contact local
printers in your area.
After you locate a good printer, run the following classified ad
in your local newspaper:
WHOLESALE BUSINESS PRINTING. Save up
to 50% on business cards, letterheads, envelopes,
office forms, etc. Call: (your phone Number) or
write: (Your name & address).
Once your ad starts running, you will be surprised at the calls
that you will start getting.
FEDERAL POSTAL REGULATIONS MAIL DEALERS MUST OBEY
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has rules that give customers
certain rights when they order by mail. Mail order customers
have a right to know when they can expect their order to be
shipped.
If an ad states that the manufacturer will "rush" the order to
the customer in less than a week, for example, the dealer must
ship the order within that time.
If no date is stated by the seller, the order must be shipped
within 30 days. If the seller does not ship the merchandise
within the stated time, or within 30 days, the customer has the
right to cancel the order, and get a full refund.
The dealer must notify the customer of a delay and give him a
"free means" to reply (for example, by providing a postage-paid
postcard or envelope).
If the shipping delay is 30 days or less, the customer has the
right to cancel the order and get his money back, the right to
agree to the new shipping date, or the right not to answer. If
there is no answer, the dealer can assume the customer agrees to
the new shipping date.
If the shipping delay is more than 30 days, the customer must
give his express consent to the delay. Otherwise, the dealer
must return the full payment at the end of the first 30 days of
the delay.
If you order by mail, you should read, "How To Stamp Out Mail
Order Crooks". This valuable report tells how to fight crooked
firms by writing a few letters to the right authorities, and
could save you a bundle in time. To order, send a long (#10)
self addressed stamped envelope and $2.00 to: "Stamp Out Crooks"

P.O. Box 22809, Tampa, Fl 33623.
HOW TO COLLECT ON BAD CHECKS
All businesses receive bad checks at one time or another.
Generally a bad check is returned to your bank because the person
who issued the check has insufficient funds in their checking
account.
The best way to prevent losing money because of a bad check is to
hold-up the shipment of the order until you are certain the check
is valid. Simply wait approximately 15 working days before
shipping the order. This is especially true of larger orders
(say, orders over $20.00) and orders received from new customers,
whose credit record is unknown to you. also, if the check looks
suspicious for any reason.
When you do receive a check that "bounces", the best way to
handle the situation is to write a polite note telling the check
writer that "their check has been returned due to insufficient
funds" (or whatever reason your bank gives).
Include a photo-copy of their check - front and back - as proof.
Do not return the original check since you will need this as
"evidence".
If you receive no reaction after the first notice, send two
more, approximately two weeks apart. Be firmer in your 2nd and
3rd letters.
If the check-writer ignores all three notices, write to the bank
of origin, and request the bank to hold the check for collection
- and include the check.
And, if you cannot collect on the bad check, all is not lost.
Remember, if your mail business is properly registered with your
state government and I.R.S., you can always declare bad checks on
your income tax as a legitimate tax deduction.

HOW TO BUT STAMPS FROM YOUR POST OFFICE & SELL THEM AT A PROFIT
Did you know that many stamp collectors and stamp dealers will
buy certain U.S. mint (unused) stamps from you and pay you more
than you paid for them when you bought them from your local post
office? It's true! All you have to do is buy the stamps from
your P.O. and then resell them for a nice profit.
there are 2 varieties of stamps that these stamp
dealers/collectors are looking for:
1. Plate Number Blocks. This is a "block" of stamps (generally
4) with the serial number adjacent and attached to them. When
you buy stamps by the sheet or partial sheet, you can sell this
plate number block at a profit.
2. Coil Line Pairs. If you use stamps that come in coils
(rolls), stamp collectors want the "coil line pairs". These are
the stamps that appear ever so often in the coil with special
markings.
For more details and current buying prices for these mint U.S.
stamps, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Stamp Buyer -
Dept. R35, Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.

34 Legal Methods To Cut High Postage Costs
1. For local messages, telephone instead of sending a
letter.
2. Use postcards as often as possible. Sane on stamps
AND envelopes.
3. Don't buy stamps from vending machines where a
service charge is added.
4. If you operate your own business, remember that
postage is tax deductible.
5. Pay local bills in person instead of mailing them.
6. Save postage stamps off your incoming mail. Then
sell them at flea markets, garage sales, neighborhood yard
and tag sales, etc.
7. Use 3rd class mail when speed isn't important and
pocket big savings.
8. Don't "overstamp" your mail. Purchase an inexpensive
postal scale or have your local Post Office weigh your
mail for you.
9. When sending 1st class mail, remember that while the
first ounce requires a 1st class stamp, additional ounces
cost less. Pick up a postal rate guide from your local
Post Office.
10. Post Office "stamped" envelopes are expensive. Save
by buying packets of envelopes from variety and discount
stores.
11. Don't pay extra for "airmail" between distant points
in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. All such mail is
automatically sent via air at 1st class rates.
12. Always use your zip code on your mail for faster
delivery. If you don't know the zip code, your local Post
Office can look it up for you.
13. If speed and timing is important, deposit your mail
early in the day.
14. If you have special instructions such as "Special
Delivery", mark this plainly on all letters and packages,
in big letters for all to see.
15. Pay bills by personal checks. It is less expensive
then Postal money orders.
16. Avoid ordering merchandise via "C.O.D.". The C.O.D.
charge is generally added to the cost of your order.
17. When insuring a package or letter, insure it for its
value only - and no more. If it is lost, you will be paid
for the actual value only.
18. Use "Special Delivery" during nights and weekends
only. During the week, Special Delivery is handled the
same as regular first class mail and given special
attention at the destination only.
19. Never spend on "Special Delivery" mail sent to a Post
Office box.
20. If your require proof of delivery, use "Certified"
mail instead of more expensive "Registered" mail.
21. When mailing large quantities of identical "printed
matter" mail, investigate "bulk mail" rates. Inquire at
your local Post Office.
22. When shipping parcels, compare rates charged by other
carriers such as United Parcel Service, Greyhound, freight
companies, etc.
23. When mailing books, use the lower 4th class "book
rate".
24. Reweigh "Postage Due" mail in the event an error has
been made.
25. Avoid using odd-shaped "non-standard" size envelopes.
The Post Office charges extra if envelopes do not conform
to certain size specifications.
26. When mailing printed matter overseas, use the lower
"surface rate" and write "Printed Matter" on the envelope,
if airmail isn't necessary.
27. Never mail cash. If it gets lost, you have no proof
that it was sent.
28. Be sure that your return address is on all outgoing
mail. It will be returned to you it it is undeliverable
and sent via first class.
29. Save time! (Time is money!) Buy larger quantities of
stamps at one time and avoid standing in long Post Office
lines often.
30. Use large brown grocery bags for wrapping packages
instead of buying sheets of wrapping paper. Use saved
string and twine for this same purpose.
31. When shipping fragile items, decrease shipping weight
by using popped corn as the packing material, instead of
heavier crumpled newspapers.
32. Let postal workers suggest other methods for saving
on postage costs.
33. Check your Christmas card list carefully and
eliminate unnecessary names.
34. When buying sheets of stamps, save the corner "plate
number blocks". They could increase in value and make
excellent future "investments".

31 Useful Tips To Reduce Big Telephone Bills
1. If the message isn't urgent, send a letter or
postcard instead.
2. Avoid using coin phones. They generally cost more in
the long run.
3. Limit all phone calls to five minutes or less.
4. Instruct all family members - including children - to
make only calls that are necessary.
5. Check your directory for phone numbers. Some
telephone companies now charge when you dial "Directory
Assistance" for information.
6. Use your radio for time and weather information
instead of your phone.
7. Dial calls "direct". Charges increase when an
operator is involved.
8. Phone during discount rate periods - evening, night
and weekend hours.
9. Call when holiday rates are in effect, generally all
day for legal holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Day,
Thanksgiving, etc.
10. Avoid calls that require the services of an operator:
collect calls, credit card calls, calls charged to another
number, time & charge, etc.
11. Avoid "person-to-person" telephone calls.
12. Many firms have toll-free "800" numbers. Most
airlines, railways, bus lines, hotels, motels, rent-a-car
chains, etc. will pay for your call. Look them up in
your directory for the "800" number, or call 800-555-1212
to see if the firm you want has a toll-free number.
13. Many businesses have "Zenith" or "Enterprise"
prefixes. They are toll-free also. Check your directory
for such numbers before dialing.
14. Plan your phone calls in advance, especially when
dialing long distance. Some areas have unassisted
1-minute calls that can save you money.
15. If you phone someone frequently, "schedule" your
calls. In this way, you can dial direct when the person
you want to reach will be there.
16. If you reach a wrong number, call the operator right
away so that you won't be charged for it. If this happens
with a coin phone, the telephone company will mail you a
refund.
17. If you have a bad connection or get cut-off, both
parties should hang up. Whoever placed the call should
tell the operator about the problem. The operator will
then reestablish the call & make an adjustment.
18. Extension phones cost extra. Have them installed
only when necessary.
19. If a coin phone takes your money and doesn't complete
the call, notify the phone company by calling from another
phone. Give them the number of the faulty phone and they
will mail you a refund.
20. If you are going away for over 60 days, you can
temporarily suspend your phone service. This rate is
lower than most regular rates.
21. When relocating, have all phone installations done at
the same time.
22. There are usually no time limits on local calls.
However, "nearby" and long distance rates are based on
1-minute and 3-minute units. Consult your directory or
phone company before calling, to get the lowest rate.
23. If you dial a number often that does not appear in
your current phone directory, jot it down instead of
dialing Directory Assistance each time.
24. Anticipate the number of calls you make each month.
Then talk to your phone company and select the most
economical type of service.
25. Have all family members included under one directory
listing.
26. Don't permit guests or business associates to use
your phone to make personal long distance calls.
27. If you use your residence phone for business
purposes, you may be able to deduct a portion of your
phone bill for business purposes. Check with your nearest
Internal Revenue Service office.
28. Residence phone rates are generally less than
business phone rates.
29. Pay telephone bills promptly. If you become
delinquent, your phone may be disconnected. A charge will
be made later to restore service.
30. Instead of an extension phone, have a longer cord
installed on your phone.
31. If possible, call long distance "collect".

How to Turn Junk, Trash & Discards into Cash
Some Americans have finally come to the realization that we
cannot continue being as wasteful now as we have been in the
past. As our resources dwindle, many items are now being
recycled. This can mean extra money for you!
As forests vanish (America's "paper habit" destroys over
2,000,000 trees a day!), there is a growing need to recycle
paper products. You can save and sell old newspapers,
magazines, corrugated cardboard, computer paper, etc.
Glass bottles and metals are also being reused. Industry
needs aluminum (cans, TV dinner trays, foil etc.), lead,
copper, brass, iron, steel, stainless steel, bi-metal cans,
insulated electric wire, etc., etc.
For the simplest way to dispose of these materials, look in
your yellow pages under the following categories: "Recycling
Centers", "Junk Dealers", "Scrap Metals" and Waste Paper".
Unwanted clothing and household items and other discards can
be sold at garage sales, neighborhood yard sales, flea markets,
church benefits, etc. Or, you can donate these items to local
charities (see "Thrift Shops" in your yellow pages), and then
declare them on your income tax as a " tax deductible donation",
Don't throw things into the garbage can. Somebody can probably
use them.

worth your time.
How to lose weight - and Keep it Off
The U.S. government says that 2 out of 3 Americans would like
to lose weight. Fad diets are ineffective because they do not
go to the heart of the overweight problem. And those that do
lose weight with a fad diet, almost always gain it back
again - and more!
The formula for losing weight is quite simple: To lose weight
you have to use more calories than your present diet provides.
Those that work hard, such as laborers, can eat more calories
of food without gaining weight. But, those that are less
active in their job and daily activities, must learn to
consume less calories.
To lose weight - and keep it off - you should have a guide
that shows the calories of all foods. One of the best is
"The Official Calorie & Carbohydrate Counter" - No. 345.
To get a copy. send $1.00 to : Globe Mini Mags div.,
Globe Communications, P. O. Box 702, Rouses Point, Ny
12979. It will prove to be a good investment, if you
are really serious about losing weight.
Also read "World's Easiest 'No-Exercise' Diet That Guarantees
Results". Send a long (#10) self-addressed stamped envelope
and $2.00 to : Guaranteed Diet - Dept. ED-30R, Box 6466,
San Francisco, Ca 94101.
Some excellent tips for losing weight and keeping it off are:
Eat a balanced diet. Don't skip meals. Eat slowly and allow
only 20 minutes for each meal. Chew each mouthful 20 times.
Hot foods such as hot soup decreases appetite. Concentrate
on meal's smells, appearance, taste - not quantity. Avoid
foods high in fats and sugar.

You can obtain free furniture, appliances and a lot of other

who normally advertise in regular local newspapers, and offer
to run their ads in exchange for free furniture and other
merchandise. True, you will be running their ad free, but
chances are you would not have a paid ad for that space
anyhow. If you promote this idea right, you could grow into
a larger operation and go into PAID circulation before you
know it. In the meantime, and for as long as you like, you
can continue to receive FREE merchandise and services in
exchange for advertising space.

How to Turn Free Grocery "Store Coupons" Into Cash
Save all the "cents off" coupons that you can. These
"store coupons" are as good as gold. If you know how to
use them. And they're free! Simply clip and save them
from all of the newspapers and magazines that you read.
One of the easiest ways to use these coupons to best
advantage is to trade them for other coupons, for products
you want. As example, let us say that you have accumulated
several dollars worth of coupons for dog food - but you
don't have a dog. Maybe a friend, neighbor or relative
would be very happy to use those coupons when they buy
dog food. Just trade them for grocery store items that
you and your family want and use.
This type of "bartering" can work in other ways too.
Let us say that you want a certain item, but don't have
the ready cash. Try to make a deal with the store owner.
Maybe he will accept a quantity of store coupons in exchange
for items you want. The rate of exchange should be about
10 to 1 - $10.00 worth of store coupons towards $1.00 of
the purchase price of the product or service you want.
This type of exchange agreement can best be made with
smaller stores. As example, we know a lady who does a lot
of sewing and needlework. She gets all of her supplies
from a nearby sewing center, by saving and trading store
coupons for her yarn, thread, needles, etc. Another lady
we know, recently traded a handful of store coupons for a
like-new toaster at a neighborhood garage sale.
You can also sell store coupons by mail for cash! For free
details, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Store
coupons - Dept. 30R, Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca 94101.
Many of the smaller mail order dealers will also be receptive
to offers of exchanging their goods or services for grocery
store coupons. Study mail order magazines and try to "make
a deal"! You have nothing to lose since the store coupons
you have to trade are free!

How to Earn Extra Money Clipping Newspaper Articles
There are large companies whose sole business is finding
and clipping articles from newspapers and magazines for
individuals, companies, organizations, etc. You can earn
extra money doing this too, but on a smaller scale.
You simply look through your local newspapers and clip all
that you think will have appeal to the people mentioned in
the article. This includes job promotions, weddings, social
events, birth announcements, local school events, etc. If
the address does not appear in the article, look it up in
the phone book.
Then write or phone the people mentioned in the article and
say that you can send them the article neatly framed or
laminated in lifetime plastic for several dollars. Buy
inexpensive picture frames from your local variety store, or
look in the yellow pages under "picture Frames - Whsle & Mfrs."
Or you may have the article laminated in transparent plastic
locally, at small cost. To compute your retail price, add the
cost of the frame or laminating price, plus your time. If you
keep your prices low enough, you may find people that will
want more than one copy of each article.

TV-10.
27. TYPES OF MEDIA BUYS
To appreciate the true value of a particular media buy, we have grouped TV
stations into three categories and analyzed their rates based on their
comparative coverage. The three categories are:
NATIONAL. These TV stations are either cable networks or national super-
stations. (To illustrate, we'll use Nickelodeon at 1:30 a.m. on weekdays
which costs $12,500.)
PRIMARY. These are local broadcast TV stations in major cities with at least
one million TV homes. ( We'll use WPGH, the FOX affiliate in Pittsburgh, at
1:30 a.m. on weekdays which costs $900.)
SECONDARY. These are local broadcast TV stations in smaller or secondary
cities, with usually less than 500,000 TV homes. (We'll use WWAT, and
independent in Columbus, Ohio at 1:30 a. m. on weekdays which costs $150.)
Charting comparative rates and effective reach of each station yields the
following:
TV GROUP RATE TV HOMES CPM*
Nationals $12,500 63 million 0.20
Primary $900 1.2 million 0.75
Secondary $150 350,000 0.43
*The acronym CPM stands for Cost Per Thousand ( M stnads for Mil, Latin for
thousand). Based on the preceding table, if all the potential viewers being
reached by each respective station were watching that station at that time,
it would cost you 20 cents to reach every 1,000 viewers watching a widely
subscribed to cable network, 75 cents for a primary station, and 43 cents
per 1000 viewers in a secondary market.
Although it seems obvious that you may want to split your media buys between
the national and secondary markets, often this is not possible. Here are some
of the reasons:
> Airtime on national stations is hard to come by. Fewer than 20 cable
networks and superstations fall into this category, and most available info-
mercial time has already been purchased or is controlled by major media
brokers and infomercial production houses.
> In the test market stage, it is unwise to invest a lot ofmoney in national
media buys. It is better to spread your budget over a string of secondary
markets to get a better feel for viewer feedback.
> Finding good secondary markets involves a fair amount of research. It is
best to deal with media brokers who specialize in this category.
28. TESTING
Always test media on an OTO (one-time-only) basis. Even Fortune 500 companies
with multimillion-dollar budgets always test their products and the media where
they are placed. No one can accurately predict the outcome of an untested
campaign. Lay out a sensible test campaign and evaluate the results accord-
ingly.
For do-it-yourselfers, secondary markets with airtime rates between $150 and
$400 offer ideal, low-risk vehicles for test marketing your infomercial.
Although TV stations in secondary markets do not generally offer the best
CPM (compare to nationwide cable channels), they charge the lowest entry fees
required to get a fair "let-the-market-decide" type of evaluation for an
infomercial.
29. APPROVAL
As soon as the first draft of your infomercial is completed, make several
copies and send one to each station you are considering.
But before you send any tape for approval, contact the station to confirm
that they have available airtime. The approval process can take anywhere
from a day to a month, depending on who you know and the overall attitude
at that station.
30. MEDIA BROKERS
Media brokers are independent companies that sell airtime for stations
nationwide. Stations pay these brokers a commission based on the cost of
airtime purchases.
Brokers come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the type of TV stations
they represent and their volume of business. In some cases, brokers who
buy a lot of media time have better pricing leverage. Therefore two brokers
may have different rates for the same time slot at the same station.
BROKERS WORK LIKE A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR TV AIRTIME ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
If you want to buy airtime outside your state, a broker will come in handy,
giving you vital information about TV stations in different markets. Brokers
are particularly helpful when you're buying airtime on a network affiliate
(ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX), a cable network (ESPN, A&E, CNN), or a superstation
(WGN or WOR). Brokers give you access to as many stations in as many regions
as you want, but you only have to deal with one person, saving you the hassle
of negotiating with each station individually.
However, if you are buyingairtime from stations in your city or in a
geographic area that you're familiar with, using a broker may hurt rather
than help. For example, if the station you wantto use does not recognize
your broker, that broker may try to convince you to advertise on a station
that will pay his commission.
Likewise, a media broker may cost you more if you are buying large quantities
of airtime. By placing your order as a direct account, you can negotiate
a rebate on the portion of the fee that the station would otherwise pay a
broker.
31. TARGETING BY ZIP CODE
If your media buy is sensitive to demographics, one method of buying will
deliver precision, especially if you buy from cable service companies on a
local basis.
From Beverly Hills to the Bronx, expanding your geopgraphic exposure is as
easy as qualifying the socio-economic profiles of you audience. Marketers
now use ZIP codes to identify the geographic distribution of their
potential viewers. As markets become more segmented, a new method of
categorizing American neighborhoods is gaining ground.
THE CLUSTERING OF AMERICA. This is a book by Michael J. Weiss which dissects
different lifesytles in contemporary America based on the U.S. Postal
Service's Zone Improvement Plan - better known as ZIP codes.
THE 5 DIGITS OF YOUR ZIP CODE CAN TELL A MARKETER WHAT YOU ATE FOR
BREAKFAST
Weiss explains that your ZIP code, which actually regpresents the community
where your live, reveals a lot about the people who live within its boundaries.
The 5 digits of your ZIP code are not being usedto tell marketers the kinds of
magazines you read, what you eat for breakfast, and the brand of toothpaste
you are likely to use. Marketers re even using ZIP codes to decide what kind
of celebrity to use in their advertising. (From The Clustering of America, by

25 WAYS TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY
WITH NO MONEY DOWN
Buying real estate with no money down smacks of having your cake
and eating it, too.
It seems almost too simple to work. The strange fact is, it can, for you. In practice,
it serves as an effective strategy for investors at every level. By avoiding a hefty
downpayment, you free up more of your investment capital for diversification, and you
maximize your profit potential on each building.
Full financing gives you the added advantage of time. Thc average investor would have to
save for years to come up with even 10-15 percent downpayment on a piece of property and
accumulate the net worth neccssary to satisfy a conventional lender. Meanwhile, a virtual
fortune could fade unearned.
Borrowed money also means increased leverage. Essentially, you are using someone else's
money
to control an income-producing properly. Not only is the direct risk lessened, the upside
potential is much greater. When 100 percent financing is well constructed, it can be the purest
form of real estate deal-making. Even at this wheeler-dealer level, it may still prove easier to
arrange than
traditional financing.
Unfortunately, many investors shy away from no-money-down plans because they fear the
mechanics
will be overly complicated, or that they will be trapped by a gimmick. The case of no money
down
dredges up memories of the 1930's and the fast-talking hucksters who pitched Florida
swampland
to novice northern buyers. But these concepts are at least a half-century out of date.
Borrowing to buy real estate, even borrowing all of the purchase price, is now considered an
intelligent business practice.
Part of the widespread acceptance of full financing programs was fostered by government
programs
which insured or guaranteed mortgages held by families who bought their homes with little or no
downpayment. Tax laws subsequently made interest on money borrowed to buy real estate an
allowable
deduction a change that benefitted both prospective homeowners and investors. The success of
these programs can be measured in the simple statistic that shows 65 percent of the families
here now own their homes. Even with these major shifts, most people are conditioned to seek
financing
from a bank or savings and loan. Though traditional, this route to needed capital has a number of
pitfalls. Conventional lenders expect the buyer to risk not only his or her financial reputation,
but also a substantial amount of his money. The terms of their charters generally prohibit them
from
jeopardizing more than 75-80 percent of real estate, which translates in to bigger downpayment
for
the buyer. Frequently, these conservatively oriented institutions will not look favorably on a no-
money-down deals.
Literally dozens of other funding sources are avail-ablc to real estate buyers. At times, you will
want to use only one source; in other circumstances, you will need to combine several.
The first step is to gather basic information, including:
• How much income the property will generate;
• whether part of it can be sold to raise cash;
• whether security deposits are required;
• why the owner is selling;
• and what he will do with the proceeds; and what kind of profit the seller really wants.
The more narrowly you can describe the deal, the better chance you will have to obtain the right
kind of financing for the project.
Although there are a number of ways to buy property without front-end money, the following 25
methods have proved to be among the most successful.
1. LEASE WITH OPTION TO BUY. An often-used means of obtaining property without
substantial cash outlays is by renting it from the owner with an option to buy. Under the terms of
the lease/option agreement, the parties involved negotiate a sum to be paid at regular intervals
for use of the property.
This agreement provides for the subsequent right to purchase the property at a predetermined
price at some time during the term of the lease. Usually, a portion (and sometimes all) of the
rental payment will be credited toward the purchase price.
To make this framework more effective, you should consider subletting the leased property,
bank-ing the profits. Lease/options are particularly attractive to sellers with tax liabilities, who
would prefer to spread their capital gains over a number of years. They would also appeal to
sellers who want to postpone the capital gain. Perhaps the seller wants to wait for a lower tax
bracket after retirement, or he may be looking for another piece of properly.
This arrangement offers a steady stream of income in the interim, as well as a prospective buyer
when the decision is made to sell. But the buyer also has benefits from this plan. In addition to
tying up the property without spending any cash, you can begin improving it to make it more
salable.
You may be able to cut your risks even further by considering selling your interest at an
opportune time. You can also lease-option arrangement for any type of real estate, from
unimproved land to large, multi-unit apartment complexes.
Depreciation rights can be assigned with the lease, giving the lessee the right to depreciate the
property as if he owned it. Equally important is the fact that the lessee can write off most
pertinent expenses, including im-provements.
Although many of the benefits of the technique are obvious, it has also some more subtle
advantages. If carefully executed, the lease/option plan can be a means of circumventing a
bothersome due-on-sale clause that could cancel an otherwise attractive low interest rate
mortgage.
Due-on-sale clauses are often complex and should be reviewed by your attorney early in the
negotiations.
2. ASSUME THE EXISTING MORTGAGE. Loans obtained through the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration (FHA) or the Veterans Administration (VA), older conventional loans, and those
that have been sold to government-backed mortgage pools fre-quently offer below-market
interest rates.
In most cases, they are assumable by new buyers who meet the credit requirements, allowing for
trans-fer of the property with a minimum of expense. How-ever, conventional loans written in
recent years are more likely to have a due-on-sale clause which effec-tively prohibits the new
buyer from assuming the mortgage. But you can work around this.
Many lenders are anxious to rid their books of old, low-interest loans. They may be willing to
negotiate a new interest rate somewhere between the existing rate and the rate of the mortgage,
especially, if you make it clear that you will buy only under "favorable terms."
3. SELLER FINANCINC. One of the easiest, least involved ways of acquiring property with no
money down is with the help of the seller. The terms of these agreements can very widely.
Some sellers may be amenable to forgoing the down payment in return for higher monthly
payments, which will serve as income through their retirement years. Others may prefer to give
some portion of the total financing.
If the mortgage is assumable, you may want it transferred and ask the owner for a second
mortgage or note to cover the difference between the purchase price and the first mortgage. A
variation would be to ask for a note in combination with something of value.
4. SHERIFF'S SALE. Forced sales, such as those ordered by the courts to satisfy liens, afford
excellent buying opportunities for undervalued property. The stumbling block for most investors
is that sheriff's sales usually require cash on the day of purchase.
To skirt that requirement, you can approach the owner's attorney prior to the auction and make
an offer of 10 percent of a successful bid on sale day and the balance in 30-60 days. Not all
attorneys will accept this kind of offer, but many will.
The next step will be ordering a title search. Properties sold in sheriff's sales are generally sold
with quit claim deeds and may have title defects. The title search is usually a formality, but in
this case, it serves as an inexpensive brand of insurance guaranteeing a marketable deed. If there
are no problems with the title you will want to secure the balance of the funds needed to
complete the purchase. The financial in-stitution holding the existing mortgage on the foreclosed
property is the best choice.
As you would expect, lenders holding foreclosed property may be more receptive to proposals
that would be rejected outright under other circumstances.
5. BANK FORECLOSURES. These, too, are potential sources of no-money down deals and can
be found before the property is seized by the courts. Although right-to-privacy laws prohibit
release of the owner's name, some bank officials will contact the owner and seek permission to
open negotiations for purchase. The primary concern of owners in this un-fortunate situation is to
avoid the negative impact connected with foreclosure. Terms will be much more flexible for the
buyers.
6. CASHING OUT. Sheriffs sale properties and other foreclosures frequently are deteriorated.
You should expect to make some improvements, whether simply cleaning and painting,
landscaping, or actual repairs - whatever it takes to make the properly more marketable. The
buyer who wants to cash out will make the necessary improvements or repairs quickly. Then,
you can resell the property before the 30 or 60 day agreement with the attorney expires, or secure
a new appraisal which recognizes the value added by the refurbishing. In the later case, you
could apply for a long-term mortgage equal to or greater than your total investment.
7. SWAP PERSONAL PROPERTY. Anything you own and can spare may be useful as a cash
substitute for a no-money-down deal. For example, the seller may be planning to retire and
travel. Your unused motor home would probably be much more valuable to a footloose retiree
than a cash downpayment. Cars, boats, campers, tools, furniture, and appliances may all be
acceptable stand-ins for cash. This under-scores the importance of gathering information about
the seller before becoming deeply involved in negotiations.
8. BARTER YOUR SKILLS. If a downpayment is a necessity, offer your skills instead of cash.
Take the time to find out what type of work would be available to the seller. Accountants,
bricklayers, carpenters, auto mechanics, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, housekeepers, and computer
operators certainly have tradable skills that would be useful as cash.
9. OPTION. Basically, an option gives you the right to purchase property at some future date for
an agreed-upon price and/or terms. In exchange for that option, you give the owner something of
value - cash, personal property, or even a partnership in your planned development. This strategy
is especially useful on farm property that is significantly undervalued and can be sold at a profit
before the option period expires. But it is also suitable for favorably vacant ground that would
require a large outlay to develop.
The option buys time to work out your plan, giving you control of the property without heavy
interest charges.
10. SELL OFF PART OF THE PROPERTY. Oc-casionally, you will find property that lends
itself to partitioning. You may find assets or surplus ground that can be sold to raise the
downpayment, decreasing the mortgage of both.
11. COMBINATION MORTGAGES. One way to provide a seller with cash at closing without
using your own money is to combine a conventional mortgage with secondary financing. On an
asking price of $50,000, you might arrange for a $25,000 loan which would pass to the seller at
the closing, and a second mortgage from the seller which would provide income in the form of
monthly payments. The seller gets cash plus collateralized security which pays interest, while
you gain control of the property without risking your own cash.
12. RENTS AND SECURITY DEPOSITS. In a transaction involving income-producing
property, security deposits and pro-rated rents pass to the buyer. Depending on the income from
the property, you may want to time your closing for the day rents are col-lected and apply that
cash as a downpayment. Suppose that you agree to pay $50,000 for a building and S3000 as a
downpayment. Rents and security deposits total $2200, and rents are collected the first of every
month.
Your first mortgage payment is due 30 days after
closing on the second of the month, collect about $2200 from the seller, and return it as the
majority of the downpayment. Your first mortgage payment will not be due until the following
month, by which time you will have collected another round of rents.
13. PICK UP THE SELLER'S DEBTS. At some point you may find a seller who needs cash to
pay off other debts, perhaps loans on a car, furniture, or appliances. As part of your negotiations,
you can offer to assume those debts instead of making some or all of the downpayment.
You would use the revenue from the property to fullfill those obligations along with the
mortgage and any other debts you have undertaken to purchase the building. This is actually a
more effective method of acquiring property than you might suppose, and it underscores an
important element in highly-leveraged real estate deals - you're doing it for either income-
producing property or for resale profits.
14. LOAN FROM THE REAL ESTATE BROKER. Commissions represent a sizable portion of
the costs involved in any deal handled through a professional real estate agency. Depending on
the seller's agreement with the agency, the commission can total as much as l0 percent of the
selling price. You might try to arrange to borrow the broker's com-mission for a short time, say
two years, and pay only the interest in the interim. Those funds could be used for the
downpayment. This technique works best when you can work directly with the listing broker,
who will not have an obligation to split the commission with any other agency.
15. HAVE THE SELLER BORROW AGAINST THE PROPERTY. Often, a seller wants all or
part of his or her equity in cash. The no-money-down buyer can suggest that the seller place a
second mortgage on top of the first and keep the cash. The buyer will then assume both loans
upon taking title to the property.
16. LONG TIME TO CLOSE. You may be able to arrange with the seller to take title at some
later date - maybe as much as a year later, though more likely 90 to 120 days. A delayed close is
better suited to a piece of property that has proved difficult to move and would need renovation
to sell. Your contract, which may be bound with a modest deposit of earnest money, permits
access to the property to do the improvement
work and show it to prospective renters and/or buyers.
With renovations completed, you can rent out the
building and go to the closing with security deposit and
rents to apply as the downpayment.
Using only the small deposit of earnest money, or in some cases, no money at all, you will have
had control of the property for a given time without having to deliver even a mortgage payment.
This lag may be worthwhile to the seller who otherwise would still be looking for a buyer.
17. INSTALLMENT DOWNPAYMENT. Though accepted procedure, there is no regulation
that the full downpayment must be tendered at closing. You could ask to spread it out over time,
whether in monthly installments or as a balloon payment at the end of the year. Despite its
advantages, this plan will not work for everyone. It is an alternative for the high-income buyer or
one who is anticipating a large chunk of cash, like a year-end bonus, at a later date. Without this
kind of financial base, you will have to try to squeeze the downpayment out of property
revenues.
18. HIGHER PRICE, BETTER TERMS. Some owners are more concerned with the selling price
than the terms of the transaction, and many may be willing to accept a higher price, even if it
comes in install-ments.
19. TAKE ON A PARTNER. You can syndicate the deal on a small scale by bringing in one or
two more people. In return for their front-end cash, you will take on the responsibilities of
putting together the deal and managing the investment. Anyone interested in regular income plus
major tax savings is a potential investor in this kind of program. You may also try to work out a
similar deal with the current owner.
20. COLLATERAL PLEDGE. Usually, a collateral pledge involves a negotiable financial
instrument, such as a certificate of deposit, stock, bind of savings ac-count, which is pledged as
security for a mortgage loan along with the real estate itself. It can be an extremely effective tool
for the no-money-down buyer working with a seller who has considerable equity and intends to
reinvest the proceeds for income.
Suppose that you are interested in a $50,000 piece of properly and the bank agrecs to 100 percent
financ-ing if the seller will buy a $12,500 certificate of deposit and leave it with the bank as
insurance against default
by the buyer. Of course, the property itself will also function as collateral.
Under this arrangement, the seller collects the regular interest from the CD. Thc only drawback
is that the seller cannot withdraw the principal until the buyer has repaid 75 percent of the loan
amount - in this case $37,500.
21. COLLATERALIZING YOUR OWN HOME. The equity in your own residence can help you
acquire additional properly with 100 percent financing. You can use a second mortgage from
your bank, or you may decide to refinance with a new mortgage. Another option is a "blanket"
mortgage that ties your home and the newly-purchased property into one package, making the
equity in your home a "downpayment" on the new acquisition. This may also come into play
when negotiating directly with the seller. You can offer your home as a collateral in return for
the 100 percent financing.
22. LAND CONTRACT, INSTALLMENT PUR-CHASES. Technically, a land contract is a
contract for the deed. While the courts have ruled in recent years that such a transaction is a sale,
thc deed of ownership does not transfer until certain conditions in thc con-tract have been met.
There is always the risk that they may not be fulfilled on time. The benefits of this plan still
make it worth consideration.
23. EHA/VA SALES AND OTIlER GOVERN-MENT-SPONSORED PROGRAMS. Despite
the appeal of low downpayment or no downpayment, the now FHA and VA programs do not
have broad application for investors. You should be aware that even though interest rates may be
slightly lower than conventional financing, the points paid by the seller are often added to the
purchase price, resulting in an asking price unfeasibly high for most investors.
However, in addition to the interest rate, these loans feature low downpayments; three to five
percent for FHA and, frequently, no downpayment at all for VA. You also have a guarantee that
the mortgage will be assumable when you sell.
Because the seller bears so many of the closing costs for these loans, the out-of-pocket expenses
for the buyer will be very low. The majority of FHA and VA loans are used to purchase
residences, but they can also serve as financing for income-producing
properly, as long as it is four units or smaller and owner-occupied.
The first choice for buyers would be FHA or VA-financed property that has been held for a long
time. The interest rate on older mortgages will be in single digits. Even if the loan is paid down
to a vary low level, there will be room for negotiation to acquire the seller's equity. FHA rules
prohibits second mortgages at the time of sale. you may have to opt for trading personal property
for equity or borrowing the real estate agents commission. Second mortgages are sometimes
available in VA programs, but not always.
Some better opportunities are available through FHA/VA repossessions, which are advertised
regular-ly. Usually offered at a minimum price and/or with a maximum mortgage, these
properties often sell at prices that would easily provide cash flow or capital gains opportunities.
Other government programs available at the country, state, and federal levels could be useful.
These range from low-interest loans for restoring historical-ly-important structures to free land in
exchange for commercial/industrial development that provides jobs. Some state and federal
agencies have large in-ventories of farms and homes acquired during the recent reccssion, which
may be sold on attractive terms.
24. PROPERTY EXCHANGE. If you already own property, you may want to swap it for
another. Perhaps you have undeveloped land with commercial zoning but would prefer an
apartment building offering regular income. You could simply exchange the parcel with an
interested buyer, or use it in combination with some amount of cash to obtain the property you
want.
25. UNSECURED CREDIT. Bank cards can be a quick, though expensive, source of ready cash.
It is possible to have Five or even 10 accounts with as many banks extending credit lines from
$500-5000. Though the interest on credit cards would constitute a heavy burden, they would
enable the no-money-down buyer to move fast and leave refinancing to a later date. If the deal is
good enough, the new mortgage will supply sufficient funds to pay off the credit card loans and
cover 100 percent of the purchase price.
THE DOLLARS AND CENTS OF NO
MONEY DOWN
To understand the practical benefits of no downpayment, you have only to look at a typical deal.
Suppose that a seller is offering an eight-unit apart-ment building for $200,000. He says he wants
cash. The existing loan is $90,000 with 15 years left to run and a due-on-sale clause.
A little research shows that the seller needs about $14,000 to clean up current debts. Since he is
close to retirement age, he wants to invest the building's proceeds for income to supplement his
pension.
A look at the building itself shows three vacant apartments, all of which need renovation. The
other units are bringing in $200 a month - well below the market.
You offcr 180,000 which would be payable as follows:-
• A four-month lease at $900 a month, $250 of which will apply toward the purchase price
for a total of $1,000.
You pay all operating expenscs during the leasing period.
You renovate the three vacant units, using your credit cards for ready cash, and rent them out at
$350 a month.
You immediately raise the rents on the other five units.
• You negotiate with the mortgage company for an assumption of the existing $90,000 mortgage
at a new, higher rate that is still
below the market, generating $90,000 of the total $180,000.
• You ask the seller to arrange a second mortgage of $25,000 with a bank that will take effect
when you assume ownership.
• You agree to make payments on the owner's $14,000 debts.
• You ask the seller to carry a $35,000 note at eight percent interest only, payable monthly for
seven years.
• You offer your motorhome valued at $15,000 to complete the deal.
By combining a variety of financial techniques, you would be able to structure a deal that would
satisfy the seller and give you control of the property without a hefty downpayment.
Basically, the seller gets $25,000 cash via the second mortgage, the motor home, $233 a month
extra income without any extra work, his debts assumed, and a $35,000 nest egg. In return, you
are getting a building which will produce a positive cash flow without any cash outlay.
During the four-month lease, you should get enough surplus income to cover the charges on the
credit cards.

4. Purchase printed stationary, labels, rubber stamps and a
quality postal scale, typewriter, etc. for professional
appearances.
5. Plan your area you'll be operating from so you have
everything in easy reach. This makes operating, mailing, etc.
easier and faster.
6. Build your business around all types of money making plans;
read about dealership offers, dealer supplies, advertising and
all types of books and information to bring the most profits for
your efforts. Weed out non-producing offers. Keep up on what's
new, give customers the best choices.
7. Choose a product or service that appeals to you and is in
demand. A good way to see what's selling is to get listed on
several of the Big Mails Wanted Lists for several months.
8. Check out sources of printed material. Get reprint rights
if you can to assure a constant supply to fill orders.
9. If source is a drop-shipper, make certain you can be assured
orders will be shipped and on time.
10. Offer customers a choice of related items listed and priced
in your sales letter or circular.
11. Offer customers a money back guarantee on items not special
order or customized.
12. Use only good quality printed material. Your material (and
all of your products) reflects directly upon you as a business
person.
13. Always KEY your material and advertising. Keep a record of
which is selling and which is not so you can make adjustments.
14. In your ads, use Free Information. Details for a LSASE
(Large Self Addressed Stamped Envelope) etc. to sell offers.
Never ask for more than a dollar or two from your 1" or 2"
display or classified ads.
15. Place as many ads in different Mail Order publications as
you can with circulations of at least 2000 and up.
16. Change publications to reach as many prospects as you can.
17. Use ideas from suppliers advertising. These ads are
produced by professional ad writers that know how to get orders.
18. Don't write any advertising until you have studied
everything you can on the subject. Gather, study and learn from
other dealers' ads.
19. Don't hesitate to use professional help (if necessary) to
write ads for your offers until such time as you feel you can
write ads to test and see if you get orders.
20. Many times a "cover letter" (sales letter) sent along with
order form and/or circular for offers that cost $5.00 and up
will pull more orders (See #19).
21. Place your advertising in publications that are read by
people that can relate to and may want or need what you have to
offer.
22. Use a bulk mailing permit when mailings reach over 250.
Try asking for a first class stamp for free details.
23. Ship orders promptly, within 15 days minimum. Always use
correct postage amount.
24. Inform customers if their order will be delayed beyond 15
days.
25. Be an HONEST DEALER and abide by all Postal Regulations.
You must never argue with a customer if a refund is requested
and refund it promptly.

24 Principles Of Direct Marketing
1. There are four important elements in a "Direct Mail Package"
and close attention must be paid to each: (Before anything, of
course, comes the essential "idea" since the conceptual strategy
is still key.)
a) the graphics (carrier) which must be opened by reader - i.e,
"what does it look like?"
b) the offer: the way the proposition is phrased - i.e "what's
the deal?"
c) the copy: the compelling description that gets the reader to
buy or act - i.e. "how is it said?"
d) the list: the targeted audience most likely willing to buy or
act - i.e. "who is it sent to?"
2. Perhaps the most important element is the list since an
excellent offer, with a striking carrier and compelling copy - if
mailed to wrong list - can be a disaster. Others belive copy is
most important, but don't let ranking bother you since each
element is important. Take all reasonable steps to get, use and
keep the most accurate and up=to-=date lists possible to increase
your margin of success. Set up a system to add names and keep'em
current.
3. Heed "Daly's Law" - "Everything takes longer and costs more!'
So. it's wise to start project in ample time to make all elements
come together in easy manner. Use "reverse timetable" to plot
what needs to be done and when. For instance, you probably need
to order lists first. Then, don't forget the envelopes, printed
stock, other enclosures , etc. Allow time for delivery and return
action plus follow-up mailings.
4. Direct Mail is a demanding taskmaster, so if it fails it's
probably you who missed somewhere, not the medium.. If possible,
"test" some or all portions of your program so you can alter
methods if needed.
5. Writing compelling Direct Mail copy only seems simple so
don't be deceived. Heed basic principles of writing to single
person in simple, straightforward manner - yet with style. For
success, remember the 3 "S's" of successful copy are: (1)
Simplicity, (2) Sincerity, (3) Serenity. Long copy is not
necessarily bad, in fact it can outpull short copy. Focus on main
message you intend to convey. Never forget you want action to
occur...NOW. Be sure copy answers the always-asked questions:
"What's in it for me?" Always keep reader's perceived needs in
mind. Do the necessary research to determine them.
6. Closely analyze your potential markets and your offer so you
can hone lists and copy to target your approach. Though you mail
by the thousands, remember Direct Mail is more akin to a rifle
than a shotgun. Write your copy to be read by one person at a
time.
7. Remember Direct Mail is a substitute sales representative.
Where an in-person sales representative can immediately answer
prospects' questions and overcome objections when raised, Direct
mail copy must anticipate all aspects and insure logical points
are covered.
8. Incorporate an action device - coupon, order form, reply card
or envelope, phone number - to make it easy for recipient to take
desired action.. Repeatedly tell recipient what action you want
and make it simple to do. Put nothing in the way of getting an
order or response. Use all action devices cited.
9. A letter almost always works better in a Direct Mail package
than a package - even a catalog - without a letter. Don't worry
if the letter repeats what's in the catalog, brochure or order
form. It's there for a different purpose. The sales letter is a
one-to-one communications to explain and sell, to get the
recipient to act. The postscript is often the most-read part of
the letter.
10. If all elements of package are good, it is imperative repeat
mailings be made. It's difficult to wear out a good list and,,
unless mailings are overdone, you can't wear out your welcome.
Let statistical probabilities and the laws of economics work in
your favor rather than allow difference about making frequent
mailings deter you. A common error is not to mail often enough or
to a wider list.
11. Keep detailed records of everything you do.. Follow a
"systems approach" so you know what happened, when and why. That
way you can repeat successes and avoid failures. Sometimes the
difference of a tenth of a percent or less is all it takes to
tune a marginal performer into a winner.
12. Study all elements of your package so you can know what's
working. Is it the price? The geography? The timing? The phrasing
of the offer? The list? The copy? The product? Which of those
myriad elements, in combination or without one element, makes the
critical difference in the return? Analyze your records closely
and continually until you know why you're winning and can repeat
success.
13. Keep current with changing postal rules, rates, regulations
and procedures. Regularly monitor your procedures to insure
you're in full compliance. To illustrate expensive errors, a
frantic client called after the Postal Inspector visited. We can
help with postal problems.. Had he checked with us before the
visit, the $5000 per word differential postal cost and worry most
likely could have been avoided. We offer professional
authoritative postal expertise but seldom can avert unchecked
mistakes. Check in advance. (We can supply you with a checklist
of valuable postal publications upon receipt of addressed, double
stamped #10 envelope.)
14. Save, subdivide and study the good Direct Mail you get to
learn what to do - and maybe what not to do. Remember some of the
things that appeal may, in fact, be "tests" that, when results
are known, are failures. Never underestimate need for simplicity
and complete honesty.
15. People who take actions by mail are different from those who
don't. Thus it is wise to isolate them so you can easily remail
with new or different offers. Remember the axiom: "People who buy
by mail"...buy by mail...buy by mail..." Best lists are of mail
buyers of similar products or services who recently purchased in
same price range.
16. Do what's necessary to make your maill stand out, even "look
peculiar" since it has to fight all types of competition. If it
doesn't get opened, looked at, and read...there's no chance it
will bring the action you want. Clever "teaser copy" on outside
of carrier can work wonders.
17. Wise mail merchants work at differentiating between
"suspects," "prospects" and (best of all) "customers." Once they
can distinguish names on lists among those three categories they
are able to achieve cost efficiencies that novices can only
dream about. So keep good records of what happens and when it
happens with mailings to a particular list with a particular
offer. Capitalize on success.
18. Testimonials can be effective promotional tools, especially
if they're heartfelt and cogently express what the average user
might feel about a product or service.. They're even better when
offered by celebrities or persons well-known to the audience.
Treat testimonials like the jewels they are and gather more.
20. There's no such thing as a "normal" percentage of return
that's universally applicable across a wide range of products and
services but, over time and by keeping careful records you can
determine what some norms are for your offer (s). Goal then is to
"beat your best"...if only by 1/2 or 1/4 of a percent!
21. In producing Direct Mail programs these seven words may be
cliche - but only because it's true: "Nothing is as simple as it
seems." Continual care needs to be exercises at every step of the
planning and conceptual stage, though any step in the
conception-production process can become critical if close
attention isn't paid to what's happening. "To error is human."
Yes. I'm aware of the error but that's exact spelling of sign I
spotted in printer's window and I reproduce it to emphasize how
vital it is that extreme care be given to this facet of
production. Proofreading in a professional manner is essential.
22. Direct Mail Copywriter John Yeck long ago cautioned me to be
aware of these two "sinful" acronyms: KISS and CIPU. The first,
"Keep It Simple, Sweetie" describes how to tell your message,
while the second cautions us to avoid lapsing into business or
industrial jargon which "we" understand but most everyone else
doesn't. CIPU stands for "Clear If Previously Understood."
23. While the Power of Mail will long be with us (even though the
nature of the Postal Service might change) wise direct mailers
see themselves practicing in the fields of "direct Marketing" or
"Direct Response." They become knowledgeable of the synergistic
value from use of print media (magazines, space ads, newspaper
inserts, etc) as well as electronic media (radio and/ or TV) to
supplement their mail promotional efforts. The combination can be
powerful.
24. Continually study and be alert to what's happening in this
dynamic medium. It may seem that not much is new, when in fact,
there are subtle but important shifts in many of the areas
delineated in each of the four elements cited in Principle #1.
(Our seminars, workshops and speeches point these out to
sponsor's audiences.)

TV-09.
24. BUYING ON C.P.O.
If your media buys are to be based on any single common denominator that
monitors performance, it should be Cost Per Order (CPO).
In direct response television, the bottom line is your CPO - how much it
costs you to generate one sale or one inquiry.
THE LOWER YOUR CPO, THE HIGHER YOUR PROFITS. Remember, with DRTV, media
buying has nothing to do with programming or demographics. It is strictly
a numbers game. The fewer dollars you spend to reach your viewer base, the
better your CPO.
CPO SHOULD GENERALLY BE UNDER 50% OF SELLING PRICE. To determine your CPO,
simply divide your airtime cost by the number of orders you generated from
that singel airing of your infomercial. This amount should be less that 50%
of your selling price.
25. PERFORMANCE RATIO
Performance ratio is a percentage derived from dividing your CPO by your
selling price, or by dividing your total sales revenue by your total media
cost.
Although the maximum CPO should be 50% of your selling price, few advertisers
consider 50% to be acceptable. Ideally, your CPO should be 1/5 your selling
price, which means you should receive $5 for every dollar you invest in media.
For example, if $1,000 worth of airtime produces 50 sales, your CPO is $20,
which means it costs you $20 in media time to sell one unit of your product.
> If your selling price is $40, your CPO is 50% of your selling price
($20 divide $40), a 1 to 2 ratio.
> If your selling price is $60, your CPO is 33% of your selling price
($20 divide $60), a 1 to 3 ratio.
> If your selling price is $100, your CPO is 20% of your selling price
($20 divide $100), a 1 to 5 ratio. This means that for every dollar you
invest in media time, you're getting $5 back.
26. MONITORING & EVALUATION
The success or failure of an infomercial can be determined by one or two
airings. If the first airing produces marginal results, you may want to
give it a second shopt for comparison. If the second airing is equally
disappointing, go back to the drawing board.
Immediately evaluate the performance of each airing the morning after.
Although orders may continue to straggle in two or three days after an
infomercial is aired, each airing's performance can be largely determined
by evaluating it within 12 hours.
EACH AIRING MUST BE PROFITABLE NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS. YOUR ONLY OTHER
CONCERN SHOULD BE TO COMPARE THE CPO AND RATION OF ONE MEDIA BUY TO
THE NEXT.
Infomercials are not like regular programs, which can build viewership with
an increase in frequency. If your infomercial does not deliver a profitable
return after one or two airings, it probably never will.
Furthermore, if after one or two airings, your infomercial proves profitable,
your next task isto develop a media plan that will increase those profits.
By selecting stations, time slots, and air dates that will produce the
lowest CPOs, you can dramatically increase your profit ratio.

21 Steps To Home Business Success
Fifty million home-based businesses will be in operation by 1997,
according to Link Resource's National Work-at Home Survey. All
around the country, people who want more control over their lives
are starting home businesses
In New Orleans, Rick Hart's home based cajun Cargo ships seafood
nation wide. In Palatine, Illinois, Stephaine Heavey works from
home designing and selling original patterns for fabric dolls.
And in Dallas, Lisa McElya published the Dallas Party & Event
Planners Guidebook from the entire first floor of her two-story
home.
These three people are living the new American dream of owning a
business, but avoiding the high overhead and start-up costs of a
commercial location. If the idea of working from home is
appealing, but you don't know where to begin, here is a
step-by-step guide.
STEP #1 DECIDE WHAT PART OF THE HOUSE TO USE
Select an area away from family activity. The perfect space is a
separate room (or perhaps the garage), but any area will do, if
it can hold all the business supplies and equipment, and also
provide enough work space for desks, tables, or counters.
STEP #2 DETERMINE HOW MUCH TIME YOU CAN SPEND ON THE BUSINESS
Many people start a home business on a part-time basis while
raising children or working outside the home. Others start
full-time when family and finances allow. However you begin,
figure out how may hours per week you can devote to the business
Make a weekly chart of your activities, examine it, and determine
where the business fits. Don't assume you have time and find out
later you don't.
STEP #3 DECIDE ON THE TYPE OF BUSINESS
Make a list of things you like to do, your work and volunteer
experience, and items you own that can be used in a business.
Look over this line-up, and using ideas from it, list possible
businesses to start. Eliminate any business that isn't appealing
or doesn't fill a need people have.
For ideas on different types of businesses, consult the end of
this article. Other ideas can be found in the source material
listed at the end of this article.
STEP #4 CHOOSE A LEGAL FORM
The three basic legal forms are sole proprietorship, partnership,
and corporation. The most common is the sole proprietorship. As
its name implies, a sole proprietorship is owned by one
individual. It is the oldest form of business, the easiest to
start, and the least complicated to dissolve. Here are some of
the advantages of this business form:
1. You own all the profits
2. Your business is easy and cheap to organize. You don't need
any government approval, although you may be required to carry a
city, state or county license. Your only other obligation is to
notify the Internal revenue Service (IRS) for the purposes of
sales tax.
3. You're the boss
4. You enjoy certain tax savings.
You must pay regular individual taxes on your income, property,
and payroll, but these are not levied as special taxes, as with a
corporation. You will also have to pay sales tax which you have
received from your customers.
5. Greater personal incentive and satisfaction. Since you have
your investment to lose if your business is not successful, you
should be more willing to put time, thought, and energy into the
business. And when your business is successful, you enjoy maximum
sense of accomplishment since you know its success was dependent
upon your decisions about your management ability alone.
For more information about this and other forms of business, send
for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Publication
MP25. Selecting the Legal Structure for Your BUsiness (50 cents).
It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each legal type
of structure. If after reading it you are still uncertain what
form of the business should take, consult an attorney.
STEP #5 DETERMINE WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM
There are three ways to finance start-up costs: use your own
money, obtain a loan, or find investors. If possible, it is
better to start small, use your savings, and not worry about
repaying a debt. also keep in mind that since you are a
home-based, chances of qualifying for a loan or finding investors
are slim until the success of your idea is proven.
STEP #6 GATHER INFORMATION
Spend a few weeks researching home-based businesses. A library or
bookstore can provide numerous books on business basics, and on
the specific type of business that interest you. Homemade Money
by Barbara Brabee (see sources) is an excellent book to start
with.
If you are considering a computer business, get in touch with the
association of Electronics; Cottagers, P.O. Box 1738, Davis, CA
95617-1738. To keep informed of what is happening in home
business world, contact National Home Business report, P.O. Box
2137, Naperville, IL 60566, for subscription information; and
Mothers Home Business Network, P.O. Box 423, East Meadow, NY
11554 (send SASE for free information).
STEP #7 CHECK ON ZONING RESTRICTIONS
Find out how your property is zoned, the call City Hall and ask
what regulations apply to home businesses in that zone. Also, if
you rent or live in a condominium, check the lease or homeowner's
association rules to be certain a home business is allowed.
Generally, if you do not annoy your neighbors with excess noise,
odors, and traffic, you will not be deterred from running a
business at home. The neighbors may not even be aware of the
business, but it is necessary to know exactly what you can and
can't do before you start. This is important should any problems
or questions arise later.
STEP #8 PICK A BUSINESS NAME AND REGISTER IT
If the business you choose is different form your name, file an
assumed (or fictitious) name certificate with the county. You are
notified if another business already has that name, so you can
select a new one.
Do this before investing in expensive stationery and brochures.
It costs only a few dollars to file, and it protects the business
name from being used by someone else in the county.
STEP #9 WRITE A BUSINESS PLAN
A good business plan clarifies your ideas and establishes a plan
of action. A good business plan should include a description of
what you are selling, your background and qualifications, who the
prospective customers are and where they can be found, what is
needed to build the business, how you plan to promote, and how
much money is need for start-up costs.
SBA Publication #M925, The Business Plan for Home-Based Business
($1) is helpful.
STEP #10 GET AN IDENTIFYING NUMBER
If you are the sole proprietor of the business and have no
employees, you may either use your Social Security number or an
Employee Identification Number (EIN) as the business number on
official forms. If you have employees, or the business is set up
as a partnership or corporation, you must obtain an EIN. To do
this, complete IRS Form SS-4 (Application for Employer
Identification Number) and file it with the nearest IRS Center.
STEP #11 OBTAIN A SALES TAX PERMIT
If the product or service you sell is taxable, you need a state
sales tax permit. Call the local tax agency, explain the type of
business you have and what you sell, and ask if you need to
collect sales tax. If you do, they will send you the necessary
information and forms to complete. You also use this tax number
when your purchase items for resale.
STEP #12 OBTAIN LICENSES & PERMITS
It's very important not to overlook any necessary license or
permit. For example, some cities and counties require a general
business license, and most have special laws regarding the
preparation and sale of food.
Call City Hall to find out what is need for your particular
business. In addition, Chamber of Commerce provide information on
city, county and state licenses and permits.
STEP #13 SELECT BUSINESS CARDS, STATIONERY, BROCHURES
Spend time on the color, design and paper for these items. They
make a definite impression-good or bad- on the people who receive
them. If you are not certain what is most suitable and effective,
consult a graphics designer or a creative printer whose work you
like.
STEP #14 OPEN A BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT
Call several banks to find out what services they offer, and what
minimum balance, if any, must be maintained to avoid paying a
service charge. Also ask about credit card if you plan to offer
this convenience to your customers. Bank fees can be significant,
so shop around for the best deal.
If your personal checking account is with a credit union, see if
it can also provide a separate business account. when you open
your account, you may need to show the assumed name certificate
and business license.
Finally, investigate obtaining a credit card in the business's
name. If this is not possible, set aside a personal credit card
to use for business expenses.
STEP #15 SET UP RECORD-KEEPING SYSTEMS
Put together a simple and effective bookkeeping system with an 8
1/2 x 11" three-ring binder, columnar pad sheets and twelve
pocket dividers from the office supply store. For each month, set
up columnar sheets for income and expenses. Use a pocket divider
for each month's receipts, bank statement, deposit tickets, and
canceled checks.
In addition, an automobile log for business mileage, and filing
system for correspondence, invoices, supplier catalogs, client
records, etc. are two other useful tools.
For more information on record-keeping, see IRS publication #583,
Information for Business taxpayers.
STEP #16 CHECK IRS REQUIREMENTS
If you comply with basic IRS guidelines, you can deduct a
percentage of normal household expenses (mortgage, interest,
taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, etc.) as a business
expense. see the box accompanying this article and, for more
detailed information, IRS publication #587, Business Use of the
Home.
Also become familiar with these IRS forms: Schedule SE
(compensation of Social Security Self-Employment Tax) and
Schedule 1040 ES (estimated Tax for Individuals). Depending on
circumstances, you may have to file them.
STEP #17 OUTFIT THE BUSINESS
Make a list of everything needed to start the business, but
before you buy anything, look around the house for things you
already own that are usable.
When you are ready to start purchasing, check the classified ads
and garage sales. Both are good, inexpensive sources for office
furniture, typewriters, computers, answering machines, etc. But
only what is absolutely necessary for start-up, and wait until
the business is off the ground to get the extras.
STEP #18 DECIDE ON TELEPHONE REQUIREMENTS
Call the telephone company to find out the cost of a business
phone in your area. If you cannot afford a separate business
line, investigate the telephone company's regulations on using
your personal phone in a business. It may be possible to do this
if you follow certain guidelines. Keep a record of long distance
business calls as they are a deductible expense. Finally,
consider the benefits of an answering machine to catch calls when
you are out.
STEP #19 CHECK OUT THE POST OFFICE & UPS
Using a post office box as the business address down plays the
fact you are home-based. It also prevents customers from dropping
in at all hours.
While looking into box rental, ask for information on the various
postal rates, particularly bulk rate, if you plan to do large or
specialized mailings. If you mail many packages, check out United
Parcel Service (UPS), as it is less expensive than the Post
Office.
STEP #20 PURCHASE THE NECESSARY INSURANCE
Check with your homeowners insurance agent about a rider for your
existing policy or the need for a separate business policy. Also
make sure you have adequate personal and product liability
coverage. Shop around, as each company has different rules
regarding home businesses
To save money on medical insurance, join an association and
participate in their group plan. One such body is The National
association for the Self-Employed: they can be reached at
800-527-5504.
STEP #21 ORGANIZE THE HOUSE & YOURSELF
To have more time for business, organize and simplify household
routines. Start by holding a garage sale to get rid of
unnecessary possessions. Next, have a family conference and
divide household duties, making sure each person does his or her
part. The, set up a planning notebook to keep track of
appointments, things to do, calls to make, errands to run,
shopping, etc. Finally, set up a work schedule so you won't get
sidetracked by TV, neighbor's visits, snacking, and telephone
calls.
Creating and operating a home business is a wonderful and
rewarding challenge. The satisfaction is not only in the money
earned, but in doing what makes you happy.

21 Items Anyone Can Easily Sell By Mail
In order to make money by mail, you need to have something to
sell which others will want to buy. Everyone makes money by
selling something of value to someone else. Some folks are
content to sell "a little of themselves" one hour at a time.
Others want to work for themselves and sell their own products
or services to others.
Those individuals who desire to make more than just a few bucks
per hour need to have their own product or service to offer to
the rest of the world. For those individuals, this presentation
was prepared. With the information, suggestions, and
information listed in this report, you could Price It, Advertise
It and Sell It!
You see... most of the guesswork, trial and error has been
removed. This report has 21 plans and suggestions. It is NOT
meant to be the "last and final authority". It is more than
enough to give you a good idea, to encourage you to get started
and to begin receiving money in your mail box often. You'll
learn more as you go along. You';ll run across other offers and
maybe some better deals. The best advice is: go slow, test and
try every offer that appeals to you! See what works and what
doesn't. Stay with the things that produce results.
So, To Begin With... What Can You Sell to Others by Mail?
If you have nothing, besides yourself and your time, it is quite
simple to create something to sell to others or to offer to do
something for someone else that they can't or won't do for
themselves.
What follows are IDEAS and TESTED PLANS (by others) which you
can begin to advertise and sell to others by MAIL ORDER!
1. A Circular Mailing Business.
Sample Ad:
FAST CIRCULAR MAILING
3x6 and 5x8............... 1 cent each
8-1/2x11.................. 2 cents each
1000 8-1/2x 11............ $15.00 Minimum (200 of each kind)
This is an inexpensive and easy way to begin. Offer to mail
circulars (distribute them by mail) to prospective buyers. You
charge a fee for this service, by asking for a set rate per week
or per month or per sheet charge. (Write and request
information from other advertised offers. Ask questions that
you would like answers to on starting and operating this type of
business. Know what is involved and know what you are doing
before you begin.) If you advertise, let other companies know
how much you charge to distribute their circulars.
2. Sell Packages of Mail Order Offers.
Sample ad:
QUALITY BIG MAIL! Packed with top mail order publications,
discount ad rates, money making opportunities, dealership
offers. FREE mailing list, FREE Big Mail Listing and much more.
Everything rushed to you first-class mail for only $2.00!
Order Today!
This ad shows that one company usually charges $2.00 for their
Big Mail. You can offer a "BIG MAIL" for $1.00 or $2.00... Keep
all the money and have this company fill your orders for free.
Write the ones you like for details. Buy other "Big Mails".
Offer your own for $1.00. You make money both ways. Companies
pay you to distribute their circulars... AND your customers pay
you to be sent one.
Note: It is very strongly recommended that you first contact
each company you are interested in doing business with prior to
your placing any ads and offering any companies products to
others by mail!
3. Operate a Commission Mailing Business
This is different from item 1 above, in that you are not paid a
fee or collect any monies up front, to mail each circular. If
you mail "Commission Circulars" for other companies, you agree
to "take your cut" or commission from the orders received. This
can be MUCH MORE profitable! A lot of Mail Order companies are
willing to allow YOU to keep HALF the money from each order as
your commission for getting the order. Usually each circular
has a space for YOU to put your name on each one before you mail
them out. Your name will be the only one on each. All orders
will come to you. You keep your share of each order, forward
the remainder onto the company that supplied that circular and
they will (usually) forward the item direct to your customer for
you, under your name. (This is called "dropshipping". For Mail
Order sources, you place ads which ask for "Dealerships" from
such companies or look for ads which ask for "Dealers Wanted".
4. Contact Sources to Sell Their Products
Sample ad:
Dealers Wanted. Moneymaking Plans & Ideas! Ideal home
mailorder business. Up to 1300% profit. No inventory. We
dropship. Send $2.00 for 64-page catalog. Dealer details and
wholesale prices. Satisfaction guaranteed. ACT TODAY!
An ad like this one, is placed by a Mail Order company who are
seeking dealers to sell their products. Write them and ask for
all necessary details.
5. Sell Money-Making, Mail Order Plans
Sample Ad:
$10 Orders Filled Free! Easiest, most profitable mail order
program yet. Get easy $10 cash sales and keep all the money
yourself. Don't wait - send now for free details now!! Rush
SASE to:
Write and ask for Dealer details, or their sales aids for
Commission Mailers. You may have to buy their book (or whatever
they are selling) before you can offer it to others.
6. Purchase or Type Up Your Own and Sell
Short Informative Reports.
Sample Ad:
FREE REPORT$. 38 $MONEY MAKER$. Fill YOUR pockets
with $CASH$, plus FREE reprint rights. Just a LSASE.
Besides selling a various list of suppliers, you can type up
short, one to four page, reports on a multitude of subjects,
like "Where to Get Free Advertising", "Big Profits - Selling
Information", "How to Write Profit Pulling Sales Letters and
Circulars". You can type up other reports that you create for
greater profits. Get reports Printed; Advertise; Sell It!
7. Type Up, Print and Sell Your Own Booklet or Directory.
A booklet of several pages in length is no more difficult than
typing up a few reports and stapling them together. Look at
this short booklet: It is a model for how to do it. Have this
"camera ready" booklet printed, (minimum 50 each) and sell it to
others. (You can give copies away, hoping for sales later on,
from your ads that appear in this booklet.) You can even sell
copies to other dealers and let them sell it as their own. You
can advertise and sell quantities direct.
8. Offer a Name Listing Service.
Advertise that you will send your customer's name to hundreds of
other Mail Order companies. Charge a small fee for this
service. Once you have a few hundred names of interested,
paying customers, type up their names on sheets and have copies
made. Advertise these as "Names of Prospective Customers".
Mail Order Dealers and other companies will pay you 3 cents,
current price or MORE for each name. Sell the same names to ALL
who are willing to buy them. You get PAID to accumulate names
and you get PAID when you sell the names. You make money from
both ends. No way you can lose on this deal! Keep advertising
your listing service (charge $1 to $3 to each person to list
their name). This can be a "Money Maker"!!
9. Sell Names of Mail Order Buyers by Mail.
Sample Ad:
Mailing Lists. Opportunity Seekers. Fresh Daily. On Peel &
Stick Labels. These "Hot Lists" really pull. Buy direct from
the source.
If you have your own names of past customers, type their names
and addresses on sheets of paper or on labels. Sell them for 3
cents to 6 cents each or current prices. Or buy names from
others and sell their lists to your customers. It can make
money for you.
10. Start a Club and Sell Memberships To It.
What kind of club? You can start any kind of club you want. A
stamp club, cooking club, pen-pal club, a writers or readers
club, coupon or discount club, you name it. Each new member
joining pays a fee. List all members on a roster.
11. Issue a Monthly Bulletin or Club "Newsletter"
Once you have your club going, ask for contributions of notes
and news from members, including you own. Put it in a
Newsletter, sell subscriptions to it. Sell it to members, for
a fair monthly or yearly fee, but realize a small profit from
it. Sell ad space . Members can list their wants and needs in
it and it will be read by all members.
12. Offer a Typing Service.
Many people don't know how to type or even have a typewriter.
Charge so much per page... $4 to $6 or more for difficult copy.
Type resumes, salesletters, college papers, reports, bulletins,
circulars, instructions, copywriting, newsletters, etc. It must
be sharp, clean and error free. Advertise your services in
local papers and/or yellow pages.
13. Offer a Card Mailing Service.
Others may be too busy or too forgetful so you do their card
mailing for them... For a Fee! Arrange in writing all details
to mail their birthday, anniversary, Christmas cards, etc. for
them each year. They supply the names and addresses, etc.
Advertise it and let others know.
14. A Mail Forwarding Service.
Forward mail for other people. This is great if you live near
some well known site. Others send you their cards and letters,
you then remail them from your location, but charge them up
front by the letter or a straight fee.
15. An Advice/Consultation Service.
People will be happy to pay some expert for their advice. Why
give away your knowledge or wisdom? Charge people to hear your
advice. This is accomplished in person, fact sheet, statistical
sheet or by newsletter. Financial advice, investment advice,
marriage help, crafts, building, planting and so many, many
other topics. Everyone of us knows something that few others
know. Charge people to learn it from you.
16. Re-writing or Ads and Sales-Circulars, etc.
A great many people don't know how to put their thoughts and
ideas into simple, every day sentences. If you know how to
string words together, sell that ability to others. Re-write
their ads and circulars, letters or reports or whatever.
Advertise it. Charge by the hour, per item or by the inch.
Note: Send LSASE means that the advertiser needs your help to
get more details to you quicker. He wants you to send a long
self-addressed stamped envelope along with your letter.
17. Make Money With Your Computer
Sample Ad:
HOW TO GET RICH with your Microcomputer. SECRETS REVEALED. No
experience necessary. Potential tax break! Invest in YOUR
future. CASH IN ON THE $100 BILLION COMPUTER INDUSTRY. Order
Book #XXXX.
Lots of people have their own computer and lots of people wish
they could afford one. If you have one, rent it out, sell its
abilities and make yours pay for itself. With local advertising
and word of mouth you may find more work than you can handle.
PLUS... receive a nice income doing something you enjoy. Visit
your library or local book store for books or manuals regarding
how to start up this type of business. Individuals, business
persons, etc, need and will find your services very necessary.
18. Sell "Made to Order" Stamps by Mail.
Sample Ad:
RUBBER STAMPS. Made to order and stock rubber stamps. 3 lines
$2.25 ppd. Additional lines 50 cents each. Signature stamps
$7.00 ppd. 25 unmounted 1 line stamps $5.50 ppd. Catalog 50
cents.
This is a VERY needed and popular item to sell by mail. The
cost is low and you make a nice profit per sale. Read and study
ads you'll always find in Mail Order publications. Send for
their rates along with a letter asking for ways on how to get
started in this type of business.
"PPd." means the advertiser will pay all additional postage or
shipping costs... And that you need not send along any extra to
pay postage.
19. Sell Labels and Stickers by Mail
Sample Ad:
DESIGN LABELS. Designs created for product labels, stickers.
Free details.
Again, your need to contact sources and ask for dealer details
or sales aids for commission agents. Some may not want or need
dealers. Some who advertise may not be the source. They may be
another dealer of the source. Write and ask.
20. Start/Operate a Profitable Newsletter Home Business.
Join the smart ones who presently write simple or sophisticated
styled NEWSLETTERS. If you do possess GOOD IDEA, VALUABLE
ADVICE, OPTIONS OR INFORMATION or have access to any one of
these, you will find that this is all that is really needed to
get you started in selling valuable information that thousands
of people are looking for, and profit handsomely while doing so.
Thousands of newsletters are being published covering almost
any subject you can imagine. EVEN YOURS.
21. Selling Recipes.
Pick out one or several of your very best recipes. Ask Grandma
or Mom to write down their very own original delicious
creations. Whether from city, farm or the "old country" these
unique recipes can be sold through classified ads. Pin money or
big money, it's there waiting for you.
