A good income can be a reality for anyone owning a rubber
stamp. The only additional items needed are envelopes, postage
stamps, and a few commission circulars. The rubber stamp is
the only one of the above items you need to pay for. The
envelopes, postage stamps, and circulars can be obtained FREE.
Many small operators are earning a comfortable living as
commission mailers. The "tricks of the trade" are rather
involved, but I'll give you all the basic information you'll
need to start a profitable business. Hundreds of supply houses
are constantly looking for people to mail their circulars for
them. In most cases, these people will send you all the
circulars you need for FREE. However, they need to know that
you are in business or they cannot send circulars to you.
Start your commission mailing business by running this short,
classified ad in as many adsheets and magazines as your
investment will allow: "Commission circulars mailed free. Must
pay me 50% or more. Send postage paid: (your name and
address). The above ad will bring plenty of free imprint
circulars to you. As they come in, insert one of the circulars
from each batch into a notebook and list the source of the
item and the address- to avoid confusion when filling any
future orders. While waiting for your first package of
circulars to arrive, place the following small ad in as many
adsheets as you can afford, offering a big mail for free: Free
Big Mail! Return this ad with a self-addressed, stamped
envelope. (Your name and address). The above ad will bring
free stamps and envelopes to you. The people who answer this
type of ad are interested in seeing what you have to offer and
are usually excellent prospects. In the beginning you will
probably mail no more than 100 envelopes per month. As your
income grows, you can expand your monthly mailings. Some
commission mailers mail thousands of pieces per month.
HOW TO CO-PUBLISH FOR MAXIMUM PROFITS
There are many fine trade magazines and ad-sheets that you may
co-publish in the mail-order business. These trade
publications are "in-print" quickly - no long waiting for your
ad to appear. They reach an amazing number of small
homeworkers and opportunity seekers. If your product or
service appeals to these readers - the rates are right. The
prime reasons for using these magazines are: You get a 50%
discount on you advertising after the first time in exchange
for mailing a few copies You earn a 50% commission on all new
co-publishers and advertisers that you get for the publisher.
Of course we hope to do some business from your own
advertising also. How does the system work? After you place
your advertising at the first time rate, you will receive a
discount on all future advertising as long as you continue to
co-publish that magazine. That discount on your ads and a
commission on the others is usually 50%. In return for the
discount, you are expected to mail a few copies - honestly.
Include the copies in orders that you fill, big mails, or
advertise them free for the postage. Using these methods your
postage cost to mail your copies is zero. Another reason for
co-publishing various magazines is that many of them do not
require camera-ready copy. Some do an excellent job of
typesetting and it's free. Items selling in these publications
usually sell for $3.00 or less - with $1.00 being a heavy
seller. Remember, it doesn't cost you advertise, it PAYS.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY EVEN WHEN YOUR ADS DON'T PULL
Step One: Advertise in a mail order magazine that you can
co-publish. The price will be the same as the Ad the first
time alone - usually a 50% discount thereafter. Step Two: With
the copies you receive as co-publisher, you can make money
because you receive 50% commission on ads, subscriptions,
etc., that are placed through you. We co-publish magazines
which we make a profit on even when our ads don't pull. You
can too. It's a great way test new ads and eliminate those
that don't pull; Step Three: Distribute your magazine to
people who are likely to place ads, etc. Check for firms who
advertise in one co-publisher magazine and not in another.
Send them a copy of the magazine that they are not currently
co-publishing or advertising. Since the publisher's name is
not printed on the magazines, readers will have to order
through you. When they do, you make 50% (and more, sometimes).
HOW TO GET YOUR CIRCULARS MAILED FREE
Yes, there IS a way to get your circulars mailed free. As soon
as you can afford it, become a supplier of commission
circulars. The easiest way to do this is to take "All-Profit"
offers and have circulars printed on two sides. On one side
have your own name and address printed. On the other side
leave space for a rubber stamp imprint. Offer these circulars
to circular mailers on a commission basis. They keep a
commission - 50% to 100% on the one side, and you make your
profit on the other. Use this same method for any offers that
you develop for yourself. You can reach these mailers by
advertising in, or subscribing in several mail order trade
magazines and ad sheets. Another way to locate mailers for
your literature is to notice the ads by mailers; usually at
the bottom of their ad they state, "Commission circulars
mailed free" which means that they get one side - and you get
the other, as above. If you really want to get rolling using
this method, take two "All-Profit" offers and give the mailer
100% on one side. You still make yours on the other offer.
Also, if you interested in obtaining additional commission
circulars for yourself include the above statement as part of
you own ad. Still another way to get your literature mailed
free is to include this little note in all of your advertising
- at the end of the copy, "Stamp appreciated". It only costs
you two words, but it could save you bunches of bucks in
postage. If you are advertising in trade publications or
ad-sheets, use "SASE" which means Self-addressed-stamped
envelope. The savings for envelopes, addressing labor, and
postage can amount to lots of money. Many small dealers use
this method exclusively - even in the large circulation
magazines. They've been using it for years so it must work!
