Big Money With Folios

One of the easiest, if not the easiest, ways of getting started with a profitable mail order business of your own is through the promotion and sale of money-making folios or reports.

Generally, the beginner purchases a series of these reports-complete with reproduction rights. He reproduces them in whatever quantity and as often as he likes-usually at a cost of less than 5 cents each, sends out an advertising circular.

As has been said so many times in countless mail order advice publications, you never really make any real money until you control the product. When you buy the reproduction rights to a set of reports, you control the product. You can advertise the sale of these reports individually via national classified ads, and follow up with your advertising circular as a "full page" advertisement or send it out as part of your direct mail packages. The bottom line is simply that when the orders come in, you keep all the money for yourself, reproduce the reports for pennies and end up with a profit that's beyond the belief of other people in other types of businesses.

It's virtually impossible to convince most people that you can make a profit of at least $1.00 per sheet of paper, but it's being done every day of the week, and is actually the easiest way there is of making money! Give it a try yourself, and you'll probably be flabbergasted too.

The best part of getting started with these folios is that you'll have an opportunity to see how they're written, precisely what kind of information they contain, and from there, the background you'll need to start writing similar folios and reports of your own.

Let's say you send for the group of reports on the many ways of making money in various small businesses. Just as soon as you get them, read them over carefully. Make sure you understand and fully comprehend the information and instructions in each report because any one of them-all of them-are very definitely
problem-solving reports that can aid you in your own quest for success. Jot down a few notes relative to those you want to use, and/or pertinent information you might want to incorporate into a report of your own-one that you write yourself and not only set the selling price on, but also who or how people sell it.

The next thing is to take this series of reports to some of the print shops in your area and ask them for a bid on their costs to print up an inventory supply for you. When you finally find a shop that'll print them at a cost that's agreeable to you, have a supply printed up. After they're printed, be sure to separate your originals or masters from the supply you're going to be selling. It's best to keep these master copies in a file cabinet or someplace completely removed or separate from where you store your inventory.

You're just about ready to start raking in the big money-but first-you have to get the word out that you've got these reports ready, and for sale to anyone that wants to buy a copy. We suggest that you select one of the reports you fell will interest the most people-Such a report might be "How to Get Big $$$....."

Make up a simple classified ad:

FREE REPORT!
"How to Get Big $$ in Your Mailbox--Everyday! Send SASE to CASH,
Box 123, Anywhere USA 01020. Place this ad in as many of the
national coverage mail order publications as you can afford to
advertise in, and then hang on for a deluge of orders.

With each order, simply take a copy of this report and include it with a copy of your advertising flyer listing all of your other reports---with your name/address in place ours, of course-and send it back to them in the self-addressed, stamped envelope that they sent you. In most cases, you'll find that about half of
those people who have sent in for a copy of the free report, will turn around and send you $15 for the complete set with reproduction rights.

Simple-easy-and with a profit potential in the hundreds of thousands of dollars because you'll find that every one of these reports will sell for years and years to come!

As mentioned earlier, you should study the reports you buy and from them, eventually write your own reports, making up your own advertising circulars, and not only set your own selling price,
but control the number of people selling them. Writing and selling simple "business success" reports is how most of the "biggies" in mail order got their start-it's the bread and butter of most mail order businesses-and the only right way to go if you're trying to make it with a minimum investment.

How To Write Profitable Classified Ads

Everybody wants to make more money... In fact, most people would like to hit upon something that makes them fabulously rich! And seemingly, one of the easiest roads to the fulfillment of these
dreams of wealth, is mail order or within the professional circles of the business, direct mail selling...

The only thing is, hardly anyone gives much real thought to the basic ingredient of selling by mail--the writing of profitable classified ads. If your mail order business is to succeed, then you must acquire the expertise of writing classified ads that sell your product or services!

So what makes a classified ad good or bad? First of all, it must appeal to the reader, and as such, it must say exactly what you want it to say. Secondly, it has to say what it says in the least possible number of words in order to keep your operating costs within your budget. And thirdly, it has to produce the desired results whether inquiries or sales.

Grabbing the reader's attention is your first objective. You must assume the reader is "scanning" the page on which your ad appears in the company of two or three hundred classified ads. Therefore, there has to be something about your ad that causes him to stop scanning and look at yours! So, the first two or three words of your ad are the utmost importance and deserve your careful consideration. Most surveys show that words or like this. MAKE BIG MONEY! Easy & Simple. Guaranteed! Limited offer. Send $1.00

These are the ingredients of any good classified ad---Attention--Interest--Desire--Action...Without these four ingredients skillfully integrated into your ad, chances are your ad will just "lie there" and not do anything but cost you money. What we've just shown you is the basic classified ad. Although such an ad could be placed in any leading publication and would pull a good response, it's known as a "blind ad" and would pull
inquiries and responses from a whole spectrum of people reading the publication in which it appeared. In other words, from as many "time wasters" as from bona fide buyers.

So let's try to give you an example of the kind of classified ad might want to use, say to sell a report such as this one...Using all the rules of basic advertising copywriting, and saying exactly what out product is, our ad reads:

      MONEY-MAKER'S SECRETS! How to Write winning classified ads. Simple & easy to learn-should
      double or triple your responses. Rush $1 to  ABC Sales, 10 Main, Anytown, TX 75001.

The point we're making is 1) You've got to grab the reader's attention...2) You've got to go "further stimulate" him with something (catch-phrase) that makes him "desire" the product or service...4) Demand that he act immediately...

There's no point in being tricky or clever. Just adhere to the basics and your profits will increase accordingly. One of the best ways of learning to write good classified ad is to study the classifieds--try to figure out exactly what they're attempting to sell--and then practice rewriting them according to the rules
we've just given you. Whenever you sit down to write a classified, always write it all out--and then go back over it, crossing out words, and refining your phraseology.

The final ingredient of your classified ad is of course, your name & address to which the reader is to respond--where he's to send his money or write for further information.

Generally speaking, readers respond more often to ads that include a name than to those showing just initials or an the number of words, or the amount of space your ad uses, the use of some names in classified ads could become quite expensive. If we were to ask our ad respondents to write to or send their money to
The Research Writers & Publishers Association, or our advertising costs would be prohibitive. Thus we shorten our name Researchers or Money-Makers. The point here is to think relative to the
placement costs of your ad, and to shorten excessively long names.

The same holds true when listing your post office box number. Shorten it to just plain Box 40, or in the case of a rural delivery, shorten it to just RR1

The important thing is to know the rules of profitable classified ad writing, and to follow them. Hold your costs in line.

   Now you know the basics...the rest is up to you.

How To Make Big Money Fast, Renting Mailing Lists

Anyone wanting or needing to build a fast source of income should definitely consider establishing a mailing list rental business. All it takes to get started is your time, and once you're organized, you can easily parlay this business into a $100,000 a year income.

The first thing of course, is the compiling of names for your mailing lists. This is done simply by noting or listing on 3 by 5 index cards the names/addresses on all incoming mail. Arrange these in zip code and alphabetical order, and you're almost ready for business.

To build your list of names simply run an advertisement in as many of the mail order publications as you can afford, offering free list of 100 mail order buyers for a self-addressed and stamped envelope. And again, as you get these responses to your ad, list their names/addresses in your card file system, and file them alphabetically with your other cards.

Another way to build your list of names fast is to run a short classified type advertisement offering a free report of some sort of money-making idea, in exchange for a self-addressed, and stamped envelope. As you do with all of your other incoming mail, list the names/addresses on your index cards and file them with
the other cards.

When you've got a thousand names in your file, the next thing is to purchase a box of self-adhesive or peel and stick labels, and type your names/address onto these sheets of labels. Typing 31 sheets--33 labels to a sheet will give you 1,023 names on 31 sheets of labels. Take the sheets of labels to your nearest
photo-copy shop; copy them onto plain paper masters and you're ready for business.

Meanwhile, be sure to file your plain paper masters and hold them/guard them with your life. You can send out the labels you typed on to your first customer.

Look thru all the publications offering advertising space for mail order operators--clip out and study those advertisements offering mailing lists--and from these, make up or have made up for you, a similar ad.

You should be offering your lists for a one-time a $5 per 100 names; $20 for 500 names; and $40 for 1,000 names.

Check with your paper sources for best wholesale prices on reams of plain paper, gummed labels, and the peel & stick kind. At the same time, explain what you're about to do with the owner or operator of your local copy shop, and arrange a deal where by you can copy your names at reduced prices, so long as you provide your own paper.

Then, when your orders start coming in--you simply take your "master mailing lists" to the copy shop, copy them unto plain paper, gummed or peel & stick labels, and send them out to your customers. Basically, we suggest that you do all your copying once a week, package all your orders, for that week, and drop
them off at the post office with just one trip.

Much of the time, you can get free advertising and at the same time pull in a lot of new names of people who are interested in mail order, by writing and submitting articles to the various mail order publications. If you arrange such a deal with a publisher, run your mailing list ad, and tag your articles with something such as: For more information or if you have a particular questions, write to met at...

It would also be a good idea to check out your own capabilities of producing and mailing out a mail order ad sheet--just a one-page flyer with 3-columns of ads on one side and a full page advertisement of some program or product you're promoting on the other side. The, with such an ad sheet, you contact all the mail
order publishers and offer to run their ad in your publication in they'll run yours in their publication.

Whenever you're selling a new name/address to your card file, always mark on the card whether or not you received any kind of orders from that person. You should also number your mailing lists--mark "01" on the cards of the first 1,000 names you type onto your masters, "02" on the next thousand and so on until you
retire or sell your business.

Finally, when you've accumulated 5,000 or more names in your card file. (incidentally, you can easily store your 3x5 cards in old number 6 envelope boxes or even shoe boxes. Whenever you're out shopping, simply ask the store manager or owners if they have any such boxes that they can give you.)

Anyway, as I was saying, once you've got 5,000 names on file, you can begin contacting some of the national list brokers and setting up arrangements for them to a broker or rent your list for you. Usually, they get 20% of the rental fee each time they rent your list--a small price to pay when you understand that
these people can rent your list to 50 to 100 times per year. They do all the advertising and selling for you with your only responsibility being to work out arrangements to get the lists to the rental customers.

Weight

Think about it, have you ever seen a fat vegetarian? Probably not. In fact, for most of us, vegetarian is almost synonymous with lean and healthy, isn’t it? And when you start any diet, what’s the first thing the experts tell you? Generally it’s to increase the amounts of vegetables you’re eating and to eat limited amounts of meat, especially high-fat red meat and pork.

And what happens when you resume your old eating habits? Generally the weight will come right back on. Even the greatest will-power can’t overcome the unhealthy effects of eating high-fat meat.

When you eat a diet that’s higher in dietary fiber, that’s primarily if not totally vegetarian, you’re naturally healthier. You’re feeding your body and getting it the nutrition it needs to run efficiently. You have more energy and stamina; you wake up more easily and more refreshed. It’s easier to exercise, because you’re not so weighed down by digesting the high fat and excessive protein that comes from eating a carnivorous diet.

Many diets fail because we think of them as depriving ourselves of food we love. The trick is to change that thinking. There are so many compelling reasons to eliminate meat from our diet, so why not forget about losing weight? Focus instead on eating healthier, or eating in a way that’s in balance with the earth, and that doesn’t need to subsist on the suffering of animals. You’ll probably find you’ll start to lose weight without even thinking about it!

And when you do lose weight, so many other health risks can fall by the wayside as well. You’ll find your blood pressure falls into a healthier range and your risk for Type II diabetes can decrease. You’ll look better and feel better and probably never go back to your old ways of eating!

Five Tips To Save Your Time

1. Do certain things fewer times

Things that can be done less or things that can be done once instead of twice are those things that will help us save a lot of time. Clean your house once every ten days instead of every 7 days – you can do that, it’s normal and the house won’t get dirty in those three extra days.

Make a work report every six week not every four weeks if possible.

Keep meetings to inform yourself on ongoing projects twice a month not every week. And the list of things that can be done fewer times can go on forever.

2. Compete with yourself!

Watch the clock and settle to finish an activity by a certain hour. Focus, get rod of anything that could distract you and work more efficiently.

3. Ask more out of 15 minutes.

Can you find 15 minutes a day that you could use more efficiently? Is there lost time in your activities? Or maybe a less important activity you can give up on? If you manage to save 15 minutes every day, you will win in fact 91 hours every year!

4. Do a list of little activities that don’t take you more than a couple of minutes.

Of course, we usually want to deal with the important problems first. But when we feel tired, stressed, in a bad mood, we find it hard to concentrate and we lose our time forcing ourselves. A list of simple activities will help you finalize something and push up your productivity. And obviously it is always better to know you did something, even is it is small, than to realize you haven’t even started anything.

5. Work on a certain project over a certain period of time.

Rather than to try and finalize an activity at once, it is better to tell yourself: “ I will work on this for 15 minutes and see how much I can get done during this interval”. Focus and try to do all you can during those 15 minutes. This is an excellent advice to solve problems or projects you avoided lately.

Lazy Vegetarians Who Choose the Wrong Carbs Risk Health

We’ve all been there. We’ve just come in from a long day at work and the last thing on our minds taking the time to prepare a healthy, nutritionally sound vegetarian meal.  But choosing a refined or enriched carbohydrate over the beneficial carbohydrates that a solid, well-balanced vegetarian diet offers defeats the purpose of your decision to live a vegetarian lifestyle, and that’s for optimal health.  Consuming refined carbohydrates presents different hazards to your health.

The over-consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugars can result in excess insulin in the bloodstream. In the presence of excess insulin, glucose, the blood sugar, is converted to triglycerides and stored in the fat cells of the body.

According to one study, consuming refined grains may also increase your risk of getting stomach cancer. The research found that a high intake of refined grains could increase a patient's risk of stomach cancer.

In addition, refined sugars and carbohydrates have been implicated as a contributing factor in increased gallbladder disease, according to a recent study.  It showed a direct link between the amount of sugars eaten and the incidence of gallbladder disease. Another study looked at the role carbohydrates play in the incidence of heart disease.

The researchers noted that as carbohydrate consumption increased, so did the level of triglycerides in the blood of the participants. Diets low in fat and high in carbohydrates not only dramatically raised triglyceride levels but significantly reduced levels of HDL, the “good” cholesterol.

And lastly, refined white sugars increase the rate at which your body excretes calcium, which is directly connected to your skeletal health.  Simply put, as your sugary and refined carbohydrate intake increases, your bone density decreases. 


So don’t be lazy! Do your body right and take the time to prepare a nutrient-dense and delicious vegetarian meal.  Your body, and your conscience, will thank you for it in the long run.

You are what you eat

You’ve certainly heard the expression many times, “You are what you eat.” Have you ever really thought about what it means? And do you think about it when you’re making food choices?

In some ways, we do become what we eat, literally. Have you ever seen an example of your blood plasma after eating a fast food hamburger? What was previously a clear liquid becomes cloudy with the fat and cholesterol that’s absorbed from eating a high-fat hamburger.

And when you think about it, we also become what we don’t eat. When we switch from eating meat to a vegetarian-based diet, we become less fat, less prone to many types of cancers. Our cholesterol can improve. When we’re leaner and eating fewer animal products, then many other health and fitness issues are reduced. The incidence of Type II diabetes is reduced. Blood pressure falls into normal ranges. When you’re healthier, you’re taking fewer medications. Even if you have a prescription drug benefit in your health plan, you’re still saving money with fewer co-payments on medications.

If you have a family history of high cholesterol or high blood pressure, then it’s particularly incumbent on you to revise your eating habits. Moving towards a more vegetarian diet has been shown statistically to reduce the incidence of so many of the diseases of industrialized countries. Vegetarians are statistically healthier than omnivorous persons; they’re leaner and live longer.

Isn’t it time to think about what you want to be and to eat accordingly? Do you want to be sluggish and fat? Do you want the risk that goes with eating animal products, with their high fat content? Or do you want to look like and be what vegetarians are? Leaner and fitter with a longer anticipated lifespan. It’s never too late to change what you’re doing and increase your chances for a longer, fitter life.
