The Easiest Most Profitable Mail Order Business Of Them All

To be rich--to have an endless supply of money for anything and everything--is the goal of almost every man, woman and child in the world. More specifically, the people who don't have but would like to have money enough for everything they've always wanted, are continually searching for some "secret combination" that will open the doors to unlimited wealth for them..

Sooner or later, these people all turn to mail order selling and, one way or another, give it a try as a pathway to the fulfillment of all of their dreams. And, why not..

They are constantly bombarded with "fabulous get rich quick" opportunity offers in their mail boxes. In just about every magazine they look at, full page advertisements promising UTOPIA, Just for clipping and sending in the attached coupon, jump out at them.

Each and every one of these opportunity offers seems to promise complete fulfillment of the readers "needs, wants and desires." They all make it sound as if all one has to do is sign up--send in a small fee--get the details--an explanation of the plan--an almost immediately, their mail boxes will begin to overflow with letters containing cash, checks and money orders. No big investment--no business knowledge--and no work required..

My friend, all this is "advertising hype" designed to "lead the reader into seeing and tasting" the fulfillment of all his dreams. He's so overwhelmed by "the solution to his wants" offered by the advertisement, and he reads "only what he wants to read" in these opportunity offers. That's "Top-of-the-line" copywriting, and worth it's weight in gold!

Disregarding the obvious "chain letter and envelope stuffing schemes," these opportunity offers for "riches beyond your wildest dreams," gives one of two money-making plans.

The first is some sort of "book of knowledge" written by someone on typing ability but generally sadly lacking in the experience of "having done it himself," and/or the ambition to get away from his typewriter long enough to "make his own mint" using the plan he's advising you to follow.

These writers tell you to "knock out" a how-to report about something that you're an expert on--to run a low-cost classified ad offering it for sale in a national publication--and then sit back and let the money roll in..The thing is, what does a shipping clerk, and engine lathe operator, or retail sales clerk know that other people will pay money to learn?
 Even if one of these people were to come up with a saleable how-to report, where are they going to get "expertise" to write a real order-pulling ad, and which national publication is the "right one" for him to advertise in...The truth of the matter is that very few, if any--shipping clerks, engine lathe operators, or retail clerks--know the first thing about writing how-to reports, composing classified ads, or placing advertising in national publications...

In fact, the very idea of undertaking such necessities to successful mail order selling--at the risk of losing a lot of "hard-earned" money--is so frightening to so many people that they never get beyond this part of the instruction sheet. And most of those that do rely upon what they "think" they know about writing how-to reports composing classified ads, and placing advertising in national publication--would be much better off, and receive a lot more value for their money, by spending it at the neighborhood church or community center.

The other kind of money making plan these "dream fulfillment" advertisements offer is a Super Profitable Mail Order Dealership of your own..

You buy the book that explains all the procedures for making millions via mail order...Included with your "book of knowledge," is a camera ready circular advertising this book--the same one you sent for to make YOU rich--and a dealership instruction sheet.

This beautiful piece of sales copy explains how everyone in all parts of the world is just waiting for the chance to buy a copy of this book--after all-- you were eager to buy it, weren't you? Thus, the instruction sheet goes on to explain, all you've got to do is either order a supply of these circulars--at inflated printing costs--or better yet, take the camera ready copy to your near-by "quick-print" shop and have it reprinted with your name/address on the order coupon. From there, you simply send these circulars to waiting buyers, deduct 50% from each order you receive--this is your gross income--forward the customer's name, order and remaining 50% of the sales price on to the people you bought your book from, and you're supposedly, home free!

Two very important factors of this plan must be considered before anticipating any income..Profits have be weighted against your costs of making each sale..But even before these factors can be considered however, the prospective seller must be sure of the "mass appeal" of the product he's about to offer, and precisely his "available prospective customers." In other words, and in case of a report or book, it's the "appeal of the title" and the mailing list or number of opportunity buyers he can present his offer to..These are the bottom-line factors that will decide whether or not your efforts result in your pockets being filled with profits or monthly payments and debt...

Assuming you've understood the theme of our discussion thus far, you're probably thinking that "supply the needs of the mail order sellers" is where all the big money is being made in mail order. And, if this is the trend of your thinking, you're absolutely right! It always has been, and it always will be your bigger profit maker...

Thus, the easiest and most profitable mail order business is supplying mail order sellers with mailing lists--the names and addresses of people looking for money-making opportunities...

Unless a mail order seller has ready and dependable source of fresh prospects--names and addresses--to send his offers to, his business will soon wither and die. Every mail order seller in the country needs constant supply of new names/addresses for his business to grow and his profits to build. The need for, and the demand for prospective mail order buyers is glutinous and unlimited! All you have to do is organize your ability to supply this need, and then turn contact mail order operators with your program to supply them with new prospects.

You start with a basic supply of 10,000 names--we offer you a basic supply of 10,000 names on plain paper masters, all set to copy onto your own labels as often, and whenever quantities your buyers request--for just $1.00...these are names and addresses of our own customers--people who have spent anywhere form $2 to $850 for money-making reports, manuals and programs that we offer...After more than 20 very successful years in business, we've found that the more often a mailing list is used, the more money the people that mailing list spend..

We run our own mailing list subscription service which brought in more than $65,000 for us last year. Here's how we operate our service, and recommend that you consider duplicating...

Each week, we send out sales letters offering our Mailing List Subscription to mail order entrepreneurs across the country. Basically, we're offering to supply them with a 100 names of our buyers within the past week, on peel and stick labels, for $5 or 10- week subscription period $50.. 200 names for $9 or $90 for a 10-week subscription...300 names for $12 or 300 per week over a 10-week subscription for just $120...

Operationally, our girls type the names and addresses of our customers from incoming orders onto "label masters" as they are received...On Friday afternoons, these girls then photo-copy these masters onto sheets of labels for our mailing list subscribers, with never more than 12-subscribers receiving any part of, or the same thousand names...

We generate orders--get our names--thou a number of different methods. By far, most of the names come from the advertisement below, which is run on a regular basis in a number of national publications...

FREE! All-new home-based money-making opportunity! Send SASE to:

Of late, this small classified ad has been generating better than 4,000 names per month for us. The report we send out is a simple one-page instruction sheet explaining how anyone can make extra money by saving, and selling, his in-coming mail. Along with each of these reports we send out, we include a copy of out Money Tree circular, and our mailing list subscription service sales letters. In reply to this package, and average 3 out of 4 people send in to get in on the Money Tree Program, and/or mailing list subscription service. From there, we just keep right on going by setting these people as "independent commission sales people" for our entire list of business success reports and business start-up manuals.

The most important part of a Subscription Mailing List Service is to have a good supply of names--a mailing list ready-to-use, organized and on hand. As mentioned earlier, we feel you'll need at least a basic supply of 10,000 names as a starter supply.

The next most important ingredient is your subscriber sales letter. A copy of our current sales letter is included at the end of this report. It pulls very well for us, as I'm sure it'll do for you--but the important point here is an example of how to write such a sales letter, as with a pattern in front of you, perhaps you can write an even better one. You must have a sales letter that appeals to the needs of your prospective buyer, and
at the same time, solves an outstanding problem for him.

The next thing is to get one of your letters out to all the mail order sellers you know of, and/or can locate. Set up a business plan--you will compile 1,000 mail order operators per week, from incoming mail and advertisements you run across..List these names on 3x5 cards, and arrange in zip code order so that you have a record of who you've sent your offer to, and then...Continue adding to this file of mail order people..Then each week, get a thousand letters in the mail--100 or 200 letters per week just won't pull in the orders fast enough for you--5,000 letters per week, and you'll soon be making $1,000 per week, over and above printing and postage costs!

So, and as reiteration of what has been stated earlier, the big-big money in mail order is, always has been, and always will be made by those people with the "moxie" to supply the mail order operators with the products and/or materials for them to operate a by-mail business. After everything has been "torn apart and put back together again," the bottom-line fact remains--The easiest, and most profitable mail order business is mailing list supply business.

Everyone doing business by mail needs a mailing list of prospects to whom he can send his money-producing offers. Every mail order operator alive, and with the slightest bit of ambition to make money, is constantly on the look-out for sources of fresh names--prospects to whom he can send his offers. So long as people continue to "sell by mail," there will be a demand for mailing list!

Look at it mathematically: if you had 100 subscribers to your mailing list service paying you just $10 per week, you'd be grossing $1,000 per week! Just 10 subscribers give you $100 per week--20 subscribers, $200 per week--and from there, you're limited only by your efforts to bring in new subscribers..When we started our service, we sent 1,000 sales letters the first week, and from those first letters, we came up with 25 subscribers with 5-days...Needless to say, we continued to build our subscriber list and can truthfully say that this particular division of our business is not only the easiest to operate, but very definitely the most profitable of our entire operation!

Once you've got your mailing list service established, it's only natural that your should "add to it, or have something else to go along with it brings in additional money." Keeping the thought in mind, of supplying the needs of people hoping to become rich via mail order selling, we think the logical addenda or extra service to a mailing list service is the furnishing of "original business success reports" that can be reprinted/reproduced and sold by your mailing list subscribers! From there, it's only natural that you become a "business opportunity book dealer or seller."

Riches beyond your wildest dreams, via mail order, are entirely possible and waiting for you--provided you have your "finger on the pulse" of the market, and a business plan that will enable you to attain total success. Most opportunity offers costs you money, a lot of your time, plus that even a "work-acholic" would shy away from, and they deliver only enough income to keep you "reaching" for the brass ring, untold frustration and indebtedness...

There are secrets in mail order--Number One, an ability to analyze and understand the market...Number Two, the ability to select and offer the right product at the right time--Number Three, an ability to write advertisements and get it in front of the majority of your potential buyers...
Wishing you the greatest of success in all your money-making efforts, the only thing left is for you to read over the instructions as presented herein, get organized with your own program, and start selling it. Everything worthwhile takes a little bit of time to organize; a little bit of money to get started; and a little bit of work to "push it thou to total success," but of all the money-making possibilities you've ever been offered this one can definitely be the easiest and most profitable for you! Take care, and let us hear from you as you grow...

An Easy Start To Mail Order!

Listing names of Big Mail Requestors, and sending out packages of Big Mail is an easy way to get your start in the business of selling by mail.

There are a number of mail operators pulling in an easy, extra thousand dollars a month, by what you'd hardly call work--doing nothing more than receiving money for advertising a list of people's names interested in receiving Big Mails, and sending out envelopes stuffed to overflowing with Big Mail.

Regardless of where you live, your age, teenager or senior citizen, man or woman, there is no reason you can't do the same---pull in an extra thousand dollars a month, with the same idea.

Getting started is NOT as easy as turning on a water tap, but then your initial investment will amount to practically nothing---And the requirements upon your time shouldn't amount to more than a few hours a week.

First, let's define the market---Who wants Big Mails, and why they want it...Big Mails are wanted or should be wanted by just about every person in business, especially those involved in selling  product via the mails, in order to keep himself abreast of who is doing what, how they're doing it, the new offers being made and the newcomers to the business.

The reasoning is because of the time and postage saved by automatically receiving all of this information, as opposed to writing and mailing letters to each individual offer you see that arouses your interest, not to mention the time saved searching thru all the different publications to discover these things. Some people--the dreamers and the lonely--like to receive Big Mails simply for the sake of having mail delivered to them every day. There's no sure way of determining which of your Big Mail Requestors these people are--so you just forget about it, and send your Big Mails to everybody on your list. Besides, the actual number of people in this category are fewer than you might suspect.

Now, let's define what's inside a Big Mail Package you or your buyers--Big Mail Requestors--will be receiving in the mail---Generally, you'll find a least one, but usually several publications: ad sheets, tabloid mail order newspapers, and an occasional newsletter. The rest is almost always a collection of various product advertising circulars. At least two of these circulars will be from the person sending the package to you in the first place.

Many, if not most of the beginners in this business, first get their name listed as a Big Mail Requestor, on as many Big Mails Wanted list as possible. They then Save the mail they receive and once a week, every other week, or once a month, they stuff their accumulated Big Mail into individual envelopes and send it to the names on their list of people who have paid to be listed as Big Mail Requestors.

Don't forget---All Big Mail suppliers always include a least a couple of two-sided circulars of their own. These are usually Commission Circulars--product advertising circulars, sometimes provided by a prime source or distributor with a blank space on the reply coupon for the dealer doing the mailing to rubber stamp his business name and address. More often than not, the distributor furnishes the dealer with "camera ready" copies of circulars to use. The dealer takes these circularss to a quick print shop, and has several thousand copies made up with his business name and address imprinted on each circular.

Everytime you send out a package of Big Mail, always include two advertising circulars of your own--circulars that may interest the recipient and cause him or her to send to you for the product or service offered.

These can be commission--dropship--products that you have devised, produced and are selling.

Incidentally, the best way to go with commission circulars is to ask for or get a camera-ready copy of the original, and have a large quantity of them printed locally with your name in place of the supplier. This will save you hours of very boring work entailed in rubber stamping your name on several thousand circulars. If for whatever reason it's too expensive to get your circulars printed locally, then check around for a printer who does business by mail, and will make your circulars for you with your name and address on the ordering coupon. Also it will almost always pay for you to have the printer fold your circulars for you before he ships them to you, he can do it all in about an hour, while it could take you a couple of days to a week or longer to fold 5,000 circulars yourself.

You can include as many product circulars in your package of Big Mail as you want, but..It's been proven time and time again that three very good--outstanding--circulars related to the same idea, bring back more responses than envelope overflowing with circulars. What I'm saying is that a circular inviting the recipient to send for Book #317, " How To Make Money Writing & Selling Simple Information", plus  a circular on Book #365" $50,000 a Year from Mail Order Ads",will pull far more inquires than 10 or 12 different circulars inviting the recipient to send for a mixture of related items.

The reason is quite simple---After about 3 circulars you begin to overwhelm the recipient with opportunities. In reality, he'd like all of the books you're offering but he only wants to spend so
much and therefore he's faced with a decision of which ones to send for---and more often than not, he ends up not sending for any of them.

Including as mini-catalog listing of your offerings is quite different, and generally acceptable to most people receiving big mail packages, or product advertising in the mail. Generally, this is regarded as not so much loose paper and something they can hang on to for a while and maybe order from, much the same as they order from Wards or Sears Catalog.

When you've got your name listed on a number of lists as Big Mail Requestor, ad after you've got a steady supply of this kind of mail coming to you, start placing ads of your own in some larger circulation ad sheets and other mail order publications as a Big Mail Supplier. For ideas on ads to use, glance thru any mail order publication and come up with one you think will bring the most replies.

Now you're on your way with the basic plan and "know-how" for a fast start as a Big Mail Supplier.

In order to expand your big mail operations into a real money-making business, compile a list of magazines, newsletters, mail order tabloids and ad sheets.Then draft a letter to these publishers, advising them that you supply them with several hundred prospective subscribers each month. Explain that your prospects come from responses to national advertising, which you run at no cost to them, the publishers...Go on to explain that your national advertising offers Free Trail Subscriptions to the nation's leading money-making publications, and that you feel your list will be incomplete without his publication...

Sweeten the pot further by detailing how you'll be sending the names and addresses of these fresh prospects on peel 'n stick labels---that these mailing lists will belong to him on receipt---and that you encourage him to copy them for follow up mailings...

You charge each of these publishers $100 a year for this service, and even when you have 100-150 signed, keep looking for and attempting to sign more publishers. Don't ever stop soliciting publishers, and go after the biggest as well as the very smallest of them...

With a number of accounts signed and paid, you place an ad such as the following, in several national publications:

FILL YOU MAILBOX WITH OPPORTUNITY! World's leading Money Making publications! Free trail subscriptions! $2 for processing to ( your name and address).  When the responses to your ads come in, type the names and addresses onto "master" sheets or put them into your computer system as respondents to your advertising. Sometime around the 15th of each month, copy your masters onto the number of customer sheets of labels you need, and send them out. You bank the money from your advertising respondents.

One hundred publishers time $100 each means $10,000 per year... A minim of 200 Respondents to your advertising each month means another $4,800 per year...And then, by contracting with a reputable list broker such as Group One Communications, 2321 NE Dixie Highway, Jensen Beach, Fl 33457---to handle the rental of the "Hot" names you accumulate each month, you should be able to double or triple these figures...And $30,000 income your first year in the Big Mail business is nothing to "cry about" at all!!!

Meanwhile you've got all these new prospects, to whom you can send your own sales materials...You can also expand your services and become a subscription agency, a publications distributor, or even a mail order publications Advertising Agency...

You could compile, publish and sell directories of newsletters, tabloids and ad sheets...Directories of Mail Order Associations...Mailing lists of people wanting Big Mails...or mailing lists of people want Commission Circulars.



The Do's And Don't's Of Profitable Mail Order Ads

THE DO'S AND DON'T'S OF PROFITABLE MAIL ORDER ADS

Regardless of how you look at it, the most important aspect of any successful mail order business is its advertising. In fact, mail order success is wholly dependent, and even predicated upon
good advertising.

First of all, you've got to have a dynamic, spectacular ad that attracts the eye and grabs the interest of the people you're trying to sell to. Thus, unless your ad really "jumps out" at the reader, your sales won't live up to expectations, and your ad money will be wasted.

The eye-catching appeal of your ad must start with the headline. Use the headline to very quickly create a picture in the minds of the reader--a vision of all their problems being solved, and attainment of the kind of happiness they seek. If your headline fails to catch the attention of your prospect, you cannot hope to
capture him with the remaining of the ad, because it will go unread! So in writing your advertisement for just a little while, so you must quickly interest him in your offer, show him how he can get what he wants, and then cause him to send immediately for your "solution" to his problems. Your copy must exude enthusiasm,
excitement, and a positive attitude. Don't be afraid to use a hard-sell approach! Say what you feel and believe about your offer. And use common, "everyday," but correct English.

Even so, you can and must remember to be honest. Don't exaggerate or make claims you can't back up. Never make promises you cannot or don't expect, to keep. To do so could get you in trouble with
the Federal Trade and Fair Practices people.

Stress the benefits of your product or service. Explain to your reader how owning a copy of your book (for instance), or receiving your services will make his life richer, happier, and more abundant. Don't get involved in detailing all the money you've spent developing the product or researching the information you're selling, or you're selling, or your credentials for offering it. Stress the "sizzle" and the value of ownership.

It is important to involve th reader as often as possible through the use of the word "you." Write your copy just as if you were speaking to and attempting to sell just ONE person. Don't let your ad sound as a speaker at a podium addressing a huge stadium filled with people, but as if there were just one individual "listening."

And don't try to be overly clever, brilliant or humerus in your advertising. Keep your copy simple, to the point, and on target toward selling your prospect the product or service because of its benefits. In other words, keep it simple, but clear; at all costs, you don't want to confuse the reader. Just tell him exactly what he'll get for his money; the benefits he'll receive; how to go about ordering it. You don't have to get too friendly. In fact, becoming "folksy," and don't use slang expressions.

In writing an ad, think of yourself as a door-to-door salesperson. You have to get the attention of the prospect quickly, interest him in the product you're selling, create a desire to enjoy its benefits, and you can then close the sale.

Copywriting, whether for a display ad, classified ad, sales letter or brochure, is a learned skill. It is one anyone can master with a bit of study, practice, and perhaps some professional guidance.

Your first move, then, is to study your competition, recognize how they are selling their wares. Practice rewriting their ads from a different point of view or from a different sales angle. Keep a file of ads you've clipped from different publications in a file of ad writing ideas. But don't copy anyone else's work;
just use the ad material of others to stimulate your own creativeness.

Some of the "unknown facts" about advertising--and ad writing in particular--tell us that you cannot ask for more than $3 in a short classified type ad. Generally speaking, a $5 item will take at least a one-inch display ad. If you're trying to sell a $10 item, you'll need at least a quarter page--perhaps even a half page of copy--and $15 to $20 items require a full page. If you are selling a really big ticket item (costing $50 or more) you'll
need a four-page sales letter, a brochure, separate order coupon, and return reply envelope.

If you're making offers via direct mail, best to get into the postal system with it on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, to be sure it does not arrive on Monday, the first and busiest day of the week. And again, unless you're promoting a big ticket item, the quality or color of your paper won't have any great effect on the
response you'll get, but the quality of your PRINTING definitely will, so bear this in mind when you place your printing order.

One final point to remember: The summer months when people are most apt to be away on vacation are usually not good months for direct mail. But they ARE good for opportunity and advertisements in publications often found in vacation areas, and in motels and hotels.

Again, it cannot be stresses too much or often: Success in mail order does, indeed, depend upon advertising, and as with anything else, quality pays off in the long run. Read this report again; study it; let it sink in. Then apply the principles outlined in it. They have worked for others, and THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU!



How To Start & Operate A Successful Co-Op Mailing Service

Aside from advertising, the biggest expense involved in mail order business is postage. This means that virtually everyone involved in mail order is on the look-out for ways to save money getting their sales offers out to prospects. The answer is co-op mailings.

Here's how a typical co-op mailing service works: A person with something to sell via mail sees an advertisement inviting him or her to send their circulars or brochures to co-op mailing service. The co-op mailing service receives these circulars or brochures and hires housewives or handicapped people to fold and stuff them into envelopes and then mails them. For this service, they charge anywhere from $10 to $100 per thousand--and it's a good deal to the mailer.

Now, quite naturally the co-op mailer can do this and make any money unless he's got a number of circulars or brochures from several customers in each envelope he sends out. And that's precisely how he makes his money--by including 10 to 16 such circulars in each envelope. Look at it from a mathematical point of view; Say he charges 12 people $50 per thousand to fold and stuff their circulars in his own outgoing mail. Twelve times 50 dollars comes out to 600 dollars--he uses his own mailing lists, so there's no big expense involved there--but he does have to pay for people to fold and stuff envelopes unless he's got it organized where he and his family do this...The going rate of people to fold and stuff circulars is about $20 per thousand...And to bulk rate 1,000 envelopes is going to cost $110...Add to that about $12 1,000 envelopes and you've got a total overhead of $142...Subtract that amount from $600 he took in, and you have him realizing a profit of $458...Not bad for mailing...

The best thing of all about starting and operating a co-op mailing service is that you can include your own circulars or brochures with each envelope you send out. You stuff circulars or brochures from 12 different paying customers, and at the same time, include at least two of your own.

So how do you get started in such an easy and highly profitable business...

The simplest way is to have and advertising coupon-- 3 1/2 by 6 inches--made up and include one with everything you mail out.

Another sure-fire method of pulling in orders is to turn a simple classified ad in as many of the national coverage mail order publications as you can afford. Such an ad look like this:

    CO-OP MAILING! Best customers in
    the country. Just $50 per thousand-
    you supply the circulars--we mail!

A couple of things you should do in order to handle the orders you'll be getting...Be sure to have a number of people lined up/available to do the folding and stuffing of envelopes for you--and also, be sure to get yourself a bulk rate postage permit.

With those details out of the way, all you really have to do when the orders come in is drop off the circulars to be folded and stuffed into envelopes, with the envelopes, your return address can be rubber stamped on the envelopes as they are applying the mailing address labels as well as your bulk rate mail permit indicia, and you're on your way.

By including a co-op mail advertising coupon with each piece of mail that you send out, plus regular advertising in most of the mail order publication, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how fast your profits will grow. Once you get organized and have all the bugs worked out of your system, you might also want to expand your business to include your local area.

To do this, you either call on your local area businesses and professional people, or else hire commission sales people to do the selling for you. Most small businesses are interested in sending out regular sale flyers or catalogs, so you or your sales people simply call upon these people and offer to do the job for the.

Contact with a good printer in your area will also be to your benefit. You can offer to have the circulars printed--you collect a commission from the printer, and make a bundle of profits with your mailing services.

If you sign just 5 different stores in 5 different shopping centers, you could really be rolling in money within just a very short period of time. $50 per thousand--times 5 stores--you have $250. And when you multiply that times 5 different shopping centers, you're talking about $1,250. Then if you get all of these people to go with your services on a regular basis--say once a month, you've got yourself a very respectable monthly income that will certainly keep you from the Poor House...

Whenever you send out mail, you should always include your co-op mail advertising coupon, plus at least two advertising circulars of your own. By doing this, you'll continue to pull in more business for your  mailing services, and at the same time make money from whatever you're selling on your advertising circulars.

Finally, as with any business you might be thinking of starting, the business should be primarily something to keep you busy and pay your bills. Any business that your start should be "vehicle" to eventually make you rich. Thus, you'll have to know about the business, but just as soon as you can afford it, you should hire other people to do the work. In other words, with this particular business Don't involve yourself and commit your time to the folding and stuffing. Hire other people to do this work for you while you work on the expansion of the business by calling on local people that can use your services. At the same time, it would be wise to hire a number of commission sales people--the more people you have calling on prospects, the more money you're going to make and the faster your business will grow. Actually, and dependent on your energies, there's no reason why a co-op mailing business can't bring in $100,000 a year or more. The opportunity is available in almost every city and hamlet in the country. We've told you how it can be done, and the rest is up to you!


THE END.
