With the information, suggestions, and nformation listed in this report, you culd Price It, Advertise It and Sll It!

Most of the guesswork, tral and error has been removed. Ths report has 21

plans and sggestions. It is NOT meant to be the "lst and final authority". It is mre than enough to give you a god idea, to encourage you to get strted and to begin receiving money in yur mail box often. You'll learn mre as you go along. You'll run cross other offers and maybe some btter deals. The best advice is: go slw, test and try every offer tht appeals to you! See what wrks and what doesn't. Stay with the thngs that produce results.

So, What can you sell to thers by mail?

If you have nthing, besides yourself and your time, it is qite simple to create something to sll to others or to offer to do smething for someone else that they cn't or won't do for themselves.

Wht follows are IDEAS and TESTED PLANS (by thers) which you can begin to dvertise and sell to others by MAIL ORDER!

1. A Crcular Mailing Business.

Sample Ad:

FAST CIRCULAR MAILING 3x6 and 5x8............... 1 cnt each 8-1/2x11.................. 2 cents each 1000 8-1/2x 11............ $15.00 Mnimum (200 of each kind)

This is an nexpensive and easy way to begin. Offr to mail circulars (distribute them by mil) to prospective buyers. You charge a fee for ths service, by asking for a set rte per week or per month or per shet charge. (Write and request information frm other advertised offers. Ask questions tht you would like answers to on strting and operating this type of bsiness. Know what is involved and knw what you are doing before you bgin.) If you advertise, let other cmpanies know how much you charge to dstribute their circulars.

2. Sell Packages of Mil Order Offers.

Sample ad:

QUALITY BIG MAIL! Pcked with top mail order publications, dscount ad rates, money making opportunities, dalership offers. FREE mailing list, FREE Big Mil Listing and much more. Everything rshed to you first-class mail for nly $2.00! Order Today!

This ad shws that one company usually charges $2.00 for thir Big Mail. You can offer a "BIG MAIL" for $1.00 or $2.00... Kep all the money and have ths company fill your orders for fre. Write the ones you like for dtails. Buy other "Big Mails". Offer yur own for $1.00. You make mney both ways. Companies pay you to dstribute their circulars... AND your customers pay you to be snt one.

Note: It is very strongly rcommended that you first contact each cmpany you are interested in doing bsiness with prior to your placing any ads and ffering any companies products to others by mil!

3. Operate a Commission Mailing Bsiness

This is different from item 1 bove, in that you are not pid a fee or collect any mnies up front, to mail each crcular. If you mail "Commission Circulars" for ther companies, you agree to "take yur cut" or commission from the rders received. This can be MUCH MORE prfitable! A lot of Mail Order cmpanies are willing to allow YOU to kep HALF the money from each rder as your commission for getting the rder. Usually each circular has a spce for YOU to put your nme on each one before you mil them out. Your name will be the nly one on each. All orders wll come to you. You keep yur share of each order, forward the rmainder onto the company that supplied tht circular and they will (usually) frward the item direct to your cstomer for you, under your name. (Ths is called "dropshipping". For Mail Ordr sources, you place ads which ask for "Dalerships" from such companies or look for ads whch ask for "Dealers Wanted".

4. Cntact Sources to Sell Their Products

Smple ad:

Dealers Wanted. Moneymaking Plans & Idas! Ideal home mailorder business. Up to 1300% prfit. No inventory. We dropship. Send $2.00 for 64-pge catalog. Dealer details and wholesale prces. Satisfaction guaranteed. ACT TODAY!

An ad lke this one, is placed by a Mil Order company who are seeking dalers to sell their products. Write thm and ask for all necessary dtails.

5. Sell Money-Making, Mail Order Plns

Sample Ad:

6. Purchase or Typ Up Your Own and Sell

Shrt Informative Reports.

You can type up ther reports that you create for grater profits. Get reports Printed; Advertise; Sll It!

7. Type Up, Print and Sll Your Own Booklet or Directory.

A boklet of several pages in length is no mre difficult than typing up a few rports and stapling them together. Look at ths short booklet: It is a mdel for how to do it. Hve this "camera ready" booklet printed, (mnimum 50 each) and sell it to thers. (You can give copies away, hping for sales later on, from yur ads that appear in this boklet.) You can even sell copies to ther dealers and let them sell it as thir own. You can advertise and sll quantities direct.

8. Offer a Nme Listing Service.

Advertise that you wll send your customer's name to hndreds of other Mail Order companies. Chrge a small fee for this srvice. Once you have a few hndred names of interested, paying customers, typ up their names on sheets and hve copies made. Advertise these as "Nmes of Prospective Customers". Mail Order Dalers and other companies will pay you 3 cnts, current price or MORE for ach name. Sell the same names to ALL who are wlling to buy them. You get PAID to ccumulate names and you get PAID whn you sell the names. You mke money from both ends. No way you can lse on this deal! Keep advertising yur listing service (charge $1 to $3 to ach person to list their name). Ths can be a "Money Maker"!!
