The Phrase multiple stream of income is not a new phrase to majority of internet lovers. The only thing new is the fact that I found it a sure means of solving the economic meltdown we are facing globally, For many businessmen, creating multiple streams of income online or offline is one way of securing themselves as well as their businesses in the current economic reality. They also believe that it can also save them from the so-called famine effect in the business industry. Once you are engaged in affiliate marketing business, it is advisable if you have multiple streams of affiliate marketing income so that if one of those income streams vanished, it will not upset you the way losing your sole stream would. If you depend on just one source of income and this single stream has been downsized or has lain off, you’ll surely find yourself bankrupted and hopeless. Try to ask the most successful online entrepreneurs, and you’ll discover that they have established multiple streams of online income.
There is a businessman that said and attested that the very first step you must take in creating multiple streams of income is to assess or evaluate your resources. Start by assessing yourself first. Jot down your answers to the following questions: What are the talents, abilities, strength and gears that you possess? Are you gifted with excellent and creative writing skills? Can you do well at sales? Are you good in communicating with people? Are you born with an artistic skill or unique ability that other people don’t have? Through this, you can determine the kind of business where can possibly excel.
Next, look around and write down you assets and physical resources such as computer, color printer, scanner, digital camera, cell phone, CD or DVD burner. Write these all down because it can be used as a resource. Consider also your friends and family. Find out what do they possess that you have access to. Remember that no man is an island. You can use the talents, abilities, knowledge and resources of everyone you know.
That’s basically the initial step if you want to create multiple income streams. But if you’re already a webmaster or a site owner, you definitely have an edge. Why don’t you join affiliate marketing business to help you gain extra income out of your own website?
Being involved in affiliate marketing is one of the most desirable ways to make multiple sources of income. It is because affiliate marketing programs come in various shapes and forms. There are a large number of affiliate marketing programs that you can sign on with and start gaining bucks right away. In affiliate marketing, you can make money by promoting and reselling your affiliate products and by recruiting new affiliates. What’s good about this is that you can find widest array of training materials that can enhance your marketing abilities. In affiliate marketing, you can be sure that there are genuine products to promote and sell and there is real income to make.
Either part time or full time, being an affiliate marketer is an excellent way to create multiple income streams by means of promoting products and services from web merchants. Here, you can get affiliate commission without investing big bucks in making your own product and without worrying about book keeping, customer support and ecommerce. All you have to do is to promote and resell the products and services in your site and pass on potential customer’s the merchant’s site.
In affiliate marketing, it is advisable to promote more merchants in your site so that your visitors will have variety of destinations to choose from. Using multiple merchants in the same site or niche means only one thing – you have multiple streams of affiliate income. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this business strategy because this is one of the best ways to protect your business and expanding your horizons. Through this, you can be assured that you won’t experience crisis if ever one of your web merchants closed his/her program.
However, you should choose only those affiliate programs that interest you so that you can effectively advertise and promote them. Don’t ever be tempted into signing up for numerous affiliate programs in the hope that one of them will bring income. Select wisely and don’t be engaged in selling products you know nothing about. Go with the stuff that jives with your enthusiasm; your passion can capture your client by the nose and guide him/her to your affiliate link.
You should also work hard to make your multiple streams of income more stable. You can do this by embracing some strategies and tactics and by developing within yourself, some traits that can help you become successful in any kind of business such as patience, persistence and thirst for knowledge.
Lastly, just remember the adage that says “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” So that if one of them is lost, you can still have some to make omelets. And what do these eggs have to do with multiple streams of affiliate income? Well, it goes without saying that the more streams of income you possess, the bigger and better your money lake becomes.

Letter Writing For Profit
An Ohio woman earns a part-time income writing long personal
letters to prisoners, shut-ins and service people. Her clients:
families and friends of the individuals who explain the likes and
dislikes of the people she writes to, and she corresponds with
them along these lines. She advertises her services in nation
tabloids and charges a few dollars per letter. This must be a
very rewarding service!
Several small concerns in the US and Canada do fairly well by
drafting custom letters. Among their requests are love and hate
letters, eviction notices, prank letters, "Dear John" letters,
termination notices, even notifications of damage done to a
friend or neighbor's property. In short, they specialize in
writing letters that their clients for one reason or another,
would rather not write themselves. They also make phone calls
for the same reasons.
Custom letters such as these can fetch from $10 to $50 depending
on the subject matter, research and risk involved. The best
clients are office workers, executives, salesmen, professionals
and secretaries, people who know the value of a well-turned
phrase. If you're handy with a word and would like to try this,
you may have to advertise heavily and provide a bit of
complimentary service until you become established, as this is a
most unusual and little known service.

HOW TO SUCCEED FOREVER ON THE INTERNET
I was reading an old ebook written by a one time internet marketer yesterdy.
I refer to him as "one time" because no one has heard about him since he released the ebook I'm talking about into the market.
I got thinking of how easy it is to be forgotten online.
It's a lonely world out there and if you don't keep the fire of your business burning, it will not last the test of time. I'm sure you won't want that to happen to you.
So how do you ensure that your online business does not die a premature death? How do you ensure that you will continue to make good money for many years to come.
I suggest that you take to heart and act on the five points explained below.
1. Always create new products and services
A lot of people create one product and assume that will make them the dough forever. It just doesn't happen. You have to create and introduce new lines of products and services regularly to stay competitive.
2. Build a list
Everywhere you turn to online, you will hear this statement.
It's all true. Once you build and maintain an email list, you can not go broke again. Just turn to your list and make them interesting offers. Always remember to give them valuable gifts occasionally.
3. Always advertise
Initially, I thought I shouldn't add this because it's kind of obvious but it's amazing the number of marketers that no longer promote their businesses. They are contented with
what they currently earn.
If you promote your business regularly, you will be in the "eyes" of your prospects and you won't be forgotten.
4. Build an army of affiliates
This is without doubt the most potent way to keep your business at the top for a long time.
Put your efforts into building an army of people that will be promoting your products for you. They will be working round the clock growing your business while you concentrate your efforts into creating other products.
5. Do "all the above" everyday
It's easy to just know what to do and also talk about it but nothing works as much as rolling up one's sleeves and getting things done.
Make sure you do all we've discussed above everyday. Even if it's just little things like posting comments on forums and blogs.
If you do that everyday, you'll be surprised at the amount of efforts you have put in your business. And it is your efforts that will be the fuel that will ensure that your business lasts forever.
That is a good thing indeed.

How To Acquire, Create And Market Self-Publishing Articles
Any article, report or book which is bought or sold with
reproduction rights is generally referred to as self-publishing
material. Most commonly, this material consists of reports or
articles varying in length from 1 to 20 or more pages. This
material usually has a self-cover. In a self-cover, the same
weight of paper is used as in the text. Most books, on the
other hand, have covers which are of a heavier weight than the
text of the book. Nowadays the common thing is to find writer of ebooks
giving this type of reproduction or what they call resale rights.
The seller offers self-publishing material including the
reproduction right, at a price considerably higher than he would
offer the material when sold without reproduction rights.
Reproduction rights are granted when the holder of a copyright
grants reproduction rights to the buyer. These rights can be
unlimited, giving the buyer the option to re-sell reproduction
rights for the material also. Or, they may be limited. In this
case, the seller will generally allow the buyer to reproduce the
material as he wishes, but restricts right of resale. Since the
strongest demand is for material which grants full and unlimited
reproduction and resale rights, it would always be advantageous
to obtain the right to resell reproduction material.
There is a vast demand for this type of material, especially
from newcomers in the mail order field. Since the stream of
newcomers to this business is almost unlimited, it can be
extremely profitable to market self-publishing material. The
attractiveness of this material is due both to the high mark-up
potential and the ease of handling. Once you own the resale
rights to a given article, you can reproduce it for pennies and
sell it both individually for a few dollars. or including the
reproduction rights, for substantially higher.
Here's a typical example of purchasing and selling price. A
five or six page article may have a purchase price of anywhere
from $8.00 to $15.00. The same article, without reproduction
rights, would have a price range of $3.00 to $5.00. Once you
own the reproduction rights, you can have it reproduced for 20
to 50 cents a set, depending on how many copies you have made.
But let's use the high price of 50 cents and a selling price of
$4.00 without reproduction rights: profit $3.50 = 700%, or with
the reproduction rights of $9.00: profit $8.50 = 1700%. Not
shabby at all! It is especially impressive when you compare
that margin to buying a book from a supplier for $3.00 and
selling it for $9.00: profit $6.00 = 200%.
The other major advantage is the ease of handling of this
material. You are the prime source. You carry no inventory.
You reproduce in small quantities as you are selling the
material. The material is inexpensively shipped, generally via
First Class due to its light weight.
Supply and Demand
The supply and demand fo this type of material is plentiful, but
that supply represents a small margin when compared to the
incredible demand. It is usually the newcomer to the mail order
filed who has to first establish his product line and supply who
is the buyer. The seller, on the other hand, is more seasoned
and has been in the business for a while.
If you are in the market and interested in acquiring
self-publishing material, you should have no problem locating
sources. You will see ads, mostly classifieds, throughout
business opportunity publications. Small and medium size
wholesalers and publishers in the mail order field also offer a
variety of material. Since they generally charge an "up-front"
distributor or dealership fee, the material they offer will
generally be at much reduced prices.
Most of material offered will be of an instructive nature and
this is also where the demand is. Articles or short manuals
which are instructive in how to start a business or how to
operate different facets of that business are in especially high
demand.
Unfortunately, since there is a great deal of sub-standard
material on the market, you should be careful in acquiring
articles and reports for resale. The material may lack in any
of these three areas:
1. the contents are incorrect, incomplete, etc., which is
generally the result of poor research and little effort by the
writer;
2. use of language is incorrect; and
3. reproduction quality is poor.
If you do not know the seller or his reputation, protect
yourself by buying just one article instead of several. If you
like the quality and contents, you can purchase several more.
Sellers of reproducible material will often not grant a money
back guarantee. If you become a seller of reproduction
material, it is strongly suggested that you consider adopting
such a policy yourself. Unfortunately, there are some customers
who will buy this material, reproduce it instantly and return it
within days for a refund.
Write Your Own Material
If you enjoy writing and some limited research, you could create
your own material and sell that in conjunction with the material
you have acquired from other sources. We are not talking about
the ability to produce literary works but just
information-oriented material that is a service to others. This
type of an effort can often be a joint effort. Your wife or
husband may be the writer and you may be the editor or vice
versa. There are also many qualified word processing services
available who can edit your writing for a reasonable fee. Once
you have created, it, you can generally sell it for many years
to come. So, whatever your start-up investment is,, it can be
recaptured many times over.
Material from the U.S. Government for Very Little Money
The U.S. Government, which is also the largest publisher int he
world by far, employs tens of thousands of researchers,
scientists, writers, etc., and puts out billions of new pages of
information each year. Much of it is of absolutely no interest
to almost anyone, a lot of it is boring, and even more of it is
useless. But - but - but a lot of it is not any of the above.
Almost all of the materials is also in the public domain, which
means you and I own it. We paid for it with our tax dollars.
It is not copyrighted and everyone can use it, reproduce it,
re-write it, etc. So since even foreign countries use this
unlimited pool of information, why don't you? For example, the
Government has a variety of useful publications that are
informative and instructive to someone who is starting out in a
new business. The best way to use Government publications is by
using the research information it provides - fact and figures.
You can rewrite it, of course, but not copyright it, and
therefore you cannot sell reproduction rights to it. However,
you can sell it without reproduction rights.
Write to: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402 and request a current listing of
publications for sale by the Government Printing Office.
There are U.S. Government bookstores in the following cities:
Birmingham, AL - Los Angeles, CA - San Francisco, CA - Denver,
CO - Pueblo, CO - Washington, DC - Jacksonville, FL - Atlanta,
GA - Chicago, IL - Laurel, MD - Boston, MA - Detroit, MI -
Kansas City, MO - New York, NY - Cleveland, OH - Columbus, OH -
Portland, Or - Philadelphia, PA - Pittsburgh, PA - Dallas, TX -
Houston, Tx - Seattle, WA - Milwaukee, WI. Locations are listed
under U.S. Government - Bookstore.
Marketing Your Self-Publishing Material
You can market your material in several ways. One would be via
advertising and, at least for starters, this is the preferred
way. Another method would be via direct mail. This is
acceptable, but only if you are quite certain that the list you
are renting represents the interest group you are selling to and
is of recent vintage. Lastly, you can market your material as
an enclosure with other orders you are shipping. This is called
"back-end sale".
Advertising would be the most effective. It is suggested you
run a classified in any of the major monthly Business
Opportunity magazines. Here are the names of some of the best
known of such publications: Entrepreneur, Money Making
Opportunities, Income Opportunities, Business Startups,
Opportunity Magazine. These are just a very few of the many
large publications and there are even more smaller publications
available.
Your ad may read something like the following:
INSTANT-PUBLISHING. Enormous Profits. Free details on
reproduction rights. or
SELF PUBLISHING. Over 1000% profit. Wide selection. Free
details.
An ad such as the above or one similar will bring you inquiries.
It is your marketing task to turn as large a percentage as
possible into buyers. To be most effective and to outdo your
competitors, you must meet these criteria. Your product must be
priced properly. Your sales literature has to be appealing.
When pricing your product, first take a look at what the
competition does. You can find out by responding to similar
ads. In that way you will not only learn about pricing, but
also see a variety of presentations and selections. Don't be
greedy. Stay a little below the competition but allow yourself
a fair profit. Remember, your mark-up has to pay for
advertising, printing of your sales material, postage and
miscellaneous overhead cost, not to mention your time and effort.
Some of these products are sold at ridiculously low prices, and
on the other hand, some at extremely high prices. Neither is
effective. If you are too low, you will be suspect of offering
something sub-standard and, if you are too high, your material
will be trashed. The idea is to stay a little below the average
selling price. There is no quick fix in finding out what the
averages are. You simply have to take the time to write to as
many competing offers as possible. If you are buying material
from a publisher who provides you with sales material and
suggested retail prices, you may want to stay below the
suggested price. In this way, you do not have to redo the
promotions material. Also the public is attracted by perceived
deals.
If you product is priced correctly and your ad is in the right
magazine (under the right heading - general business
opportunities), the only thing left is your sales literature.
It is also the most important. Remember, in the mail order
business,, the customer cannot see, smell or feel the product
before buying it. It is therefore, absolutely of the utmost
importance that your material looks impeccable. This point
cannot be stressed enough. In my own testing over the years, I
have determined that the same product at the same price but
represented by an excellent looking package will outsell the
same product represented by a less than average package at
anywhere from double to triple the cost. And therein, can be
your success or failure. When you ar relatively new to our
business, you will generally be charged with enthusiasm which is
great because it is the energy what will propel you to success.
But your impatience and enthusiasm has to be controlled, or you
will make costly mistakes and you may become discouraged. So,
take your time and be sure your material looks first class.
This is the wrong place to save a few bucks. Here are a few
suggestions to help you in achieving success with the
presentation of your piece:
1. Unless you are using a ready-made circular or brochure
which you received when buying your reproduction article and it
satisfies you in every respect, have your piece laid out by a
graphic designer or experienced desk-top publisher. In most
medium and large cities there is an ample supply of these
professionals. Many of them operate out of their residence and
charge reasonable prices. Before you select one, visit several
and look at what they have done for others. If you don't like
what you see, keep on looking. Remember, the person you choose
can make or break you. Prices for layout of a single page may
vary from $20 to $50. Since your promotional piece will
generally only consist of one or two pages, this is a small
price to pay for success.
2. Have the written word used in both your sales letter and
promotional piece checked by someone who is absolutely competent
in the use of the English language. Your best bet there is a
reputable word processing service that has been around for a
while.
3. Have your sales literature printed by a professional
printer. Cheap copying jobs are fatal.
It must be obvious to you by now that I feel extremely strongly
about the subject of first class sales literature. When your
prospective customer pulls your material out of the envelope -
or, does he even open it - (experts tell us he does that
anywhere from 30 to 100 per week) and looks at your material
(again, experts tell us it is an 8 second look) before he
decides whether to trash you - boom there goes the whole damn
effort into a waste can in a split second - or look at you
further? So give yourself a break and do things the right way.
Make it look professional. Modern technology enables your
literature to look just as good as the literature from a large
corporation.
The components of your sales piece should consist of the
following items:
1. The circular - brochure - flyer, etc. This can be from one
to several pages in length, depending on how many items you are
featuring.
2. A sales letter. A good sales letter requires sweat equity
on your part. There is no easy way out. You cannot have
someone else do the work for you. They can help you, but not do
it completely. A good sales letter should be friendly in tone -
full of benefits for your prospective buyer - must have a good
headline - explain the features of your product - say as little
as possible about you. Your customer does not give a damn about
you, he wants to know what's in it for him. And lastly, every
sales letter must ask for the order.
3. An order form that can be separate or build into a
promotional piece.
4. A return envelope. It is not necessary to use prepaid
envelopes. My own research indicates there is no difference in
conversion rates between prepaid and non-prepaid business return
envelopes.
5. Your mailing envelope.
If you should decide to choose direct mail for your
self-publishing material, your offer will require the same
components as shown above. It is, unfortunately, extremely
difficult to come up with just the right mailing list. The
broad description of "Opportunity Seeker" does not narrow down
your market enough. You are specifically interested in recent -
30 to 180 day - inquiries - or buyers of self-publishing or mail
order start-up packages. If you are confident you can come up
with such a list, you may give direct mail a try; a mailing of
1000 will give you a good indication. What you will save in
advertising will be spent in additional postage and printing.
One hundred inquiries of a classified ad may produce between six
and nine buyers. To come up with the same number of buyers on a
direct mail campaign, you will have to mail about 500 to 700
pieces.
A Few More Profitable Suggestions
It is important to have an ample selection. The more a
prospective customer has to choose from, the better the chances
for a sale are and the higher the average order will be. I
would suggest that the combined articles or reports you are
offering will total about $100. Ideally, some would be
low-priced $7 to $10, some medium, $10 to $20 and some high
priced over $20. If your prospective customer would buy around
35% of the reports you offer, you should come up with an order
of at least $30 plus.
As you progress in your business, always be on the lookout for
new material to be offered to your previous customers. Stay in
touch with your previous buyers and inquirers. At least four
mailings a year are appropriate. In your follow-up mailings,
you should offer additional self-publishing material as well as
books. Non-buying inquiries should be dropped from your mailing
list after 12 to 15 months. Previous buyers should be dropped
within 18 months after their last purchase. As your mailing
list increases in size and you keep on a schedule of regular
mailings, your revenues and profits will dramatically increase.
Self-publishing products may be your start into the mail order
information business or they may increase the size of your
business if you have not previously offered this type of
material. Some of the most successful mail order entrepreneurs
have never sold anything but self-publishing products and have
made a great deal of money doing it.
Wishing you success and remember, before you can earn you must
learn.
reproduction rights is generally referred to as self-publishing
material. Most commonly, this material consists of reports or
articles varying in length from 1 to 20 or more pages. This
material usually has a self-cover. In a self-cover, the same
weight of paper is used as in the text. Most books, on the
other hand, have covers which are of a heavier weight than the
text of the book. Nowadays the common thing is to find writer of ebooks
giving this type of reproduction or what they call resale rights.
The seller offers self-publishing material including the
reproduction right, at a price considerably higher than he would
offer the material when sold without reproduction rights.
Reproduction rights are granted when the holder of a copyright
grants reproduction rights to the buyer. These rights can be
unlimited, giving the buyer the option to re-sell reproduction
rights for the material also. Or, they may be limited. In this
case, the seller will generally allow the buyer to reproduce the
material as he wishes, but restricts right of resale. Since the
strongest demand is for material which grants full and unlimited
reproduction and resale rights, it would always be advantageous
to obtain the right to resell reproduction material.
There is a vast demand for this type of material, especially
from newcomers in the mail order field. Since the stream of
newcomers to this business is almost unlimited, it can be
extremely profitable to market self-publishing material. The
attractiveness of this material is due both to the high mark-up
potential and the ease of handling. Once you own the resale
rights to a given article, you can reproduce it for pennies and
sell it both individually for a few dollars. or including the
reproduction rights, for substantially higher.
Here's a typical example of purchasing and selling price. A
five or six page article may have a purchase price of anywhere
from $8.00 to $15.00. The same article, without reproduction
rights, would have a price range of $3.00 to $5.00. Once you
own the reproduction rights, you can have it reproduced for 20
to 50 cents a set, depending on how many copies you have made.
But let's use the high price of 50 cents and a selling price of
$4.00 without reproduction rights: profit $3.50 = 700%, or with
the reproduction rights of $9.00: profit $8.50 = 1700%. Not
shabby at all! It is especially impressive when you compare
that margin to buying a book from a supplier for $3.00 and
selling it for $9.00: profit $6.00 = 200%.
The other major advantage is the ease of handling of this
material. You are the prime source. You carry no inventory.
You reproduce in small quantities as you are selling the
material. The material is inexpensively shipped, generally via
First Class due to its light weight.
Supply and Demand
The supply and demand fo this type of material is plentiful, but
that supply represents a small margin when compared to the
incredible demand. It is usually the newcomer to the mail order
filed who has to first establish his product line and supply who
is the buyer. The seller, on the other hand, is more seasoned
and has been in the business for a while.
If you are in the market and interested in acquiring
self-publishing material, you should have no problem locating
sources. You will see ads, mostly classifieds, throughout
business opportunity publications. Small and medium size
wholesalers and publishers in the mail order field also offer a
variety of material. Since they generally charge an "up-front"
distributor or dealership fee, the material they offer will
generally be at much reduced prices.
Most of material offered will be of an instructive nature and
this is also where the demand is. Articles or short manuals
which are instructive in how to start a business or how to
operate different facets of that business are in especially high
demand.
Unfortunately, since there is a great deal of sub-standard
material on the market, you should be careful in acquiring
articles and reports for resale. The material may lack in any
of these three areas:
1. the contents are incorrect, incomplete, etc., which is
generally the result of poor research and little effort by the
writer;
2. use of language is incorrect; and
3. reproduction quality is poor.
If you do not know the seller or his reputation, protect
yourself by buying just one article instead of several. If you
like the quality and contents, you can purchase several more.
Sellers of reproducible material will often not grant a money
back guarantee. If you become a seller of reproduction
material, it is strongly suggested that you consider adopting
such a policy yourself. Unfortunately, there are some customers
who will buy this material, reproduce it instantly and return it
within days for a refund.
Write Your Own Material
If you enjoy writing and some limited research, you could create
your own material and sell that in conjunction with the material
you have acquired from other sources. We are not talking about
the ability to produce literary works but just
information-oriented material that is a service to others. This
type of an effort can often be a joint effort. Your wife or
husband may be the writer and you may be the editor or vice
versa. There are also many qualified word processing services
available who can edit your writing for a reasonable fee. Once
you have created, it, you can generally sell it for many years
to come. So, whatever your start-up investment is,, it can be
recaptured many times over.
Material from the U.S. Government for Very Little Money
The U.S. Government, which is also the largest publisher int he
world by far, employs tens of thousands of researchers,
scientists, writers, etc., and puts out billions of new pages of
information each year. Much of it is of absolutely no interest
to almost anyone, a lot of it is boring, and even more of it is
useless. But - but - but a lot of it is not any of the above.
Almost all of the materials is also in the public domain, which
means you and I own it. We paid for it with our tax dollars.
It is not copyrighted and everyone can use it, reproduce it,
re-write it, etc. So since even foreign countries use this
unlimited pool of information, why don't you? For example, the
Government has a variety of useful publications that are
informative and instructive to someone who is starting out in a
new business. The best way to use Government publications is by
using the research information it provides - fact and figures.
You can rewrite it, of course, but not copyright it, and
therefore you cannot sell reproduction rights to it. However,
you can sell it without reproduction rights.
Write to: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402 and request a current listing of
publications for sale by the Government Printing Office.
There are U.S. Government bookstores in the following cities:
Birmingham, AL - Los Angeles, CA - San Francisco, CA - Denver,
CO - Pueblo, CO - Washington, DC - Jacksonville, FL - Atlanta,
GA - Chicago, IL - Laurel, MD - Boston, MA - Detroit, MI -
Kansas City, MO - New York, NY - Cleveland, OH - Columbus, OH -
Portland, Or - Philadelphia, PA - Pittsburgh, PA - Dallas, TX -
Houston, Tx - Seattle, WA - Milwaukee, WI. Locations are listed
under U.S. Government - Bookstore.
Marketing Your Self-Publishing Material
You can market your material in several ways. One would be via
advertising and, at least for starters, this is the preferred
way. Another method would be via direct mail. This is
acceptable, but only if you are quite certain that the list you
are renting represents the interest group you are selling to and
is of recent vintage. Lastly, you can market your material as
an enclosure with other orders you are shipping. This is called
"back-end sale".
Advertising would be the most effective. It is suggested you
run a classified in any of the major monthly Business
Opportunity magazines. Here are the names of some of the best
known of such publications: Entrepreneur, Money Making
Opportunities, Income Opportunities, Business Startups,
Opportunity Magazine. These are just a very few of the many
large publications and there are even more smaller publications
available.
Your ad may read something like the following:
INSTANT-PUBLISHING. Enormous Profits. Free details on
reproduction rights. or
SELF PUBLISHING. Over 1000% profit. Wide selection. Free
details.
An ad such as the above or one similar will bring you inquiries.
It is your marketing task to turn as large a percentage as
possible into buyers. To be most effective and to outdo your
competitors, you must meet these criteria. Your product must be
priced properly. Your sales literature has to be appealing.
When pricing your product, first take a look at what the
competition does. You can find out by responding to similar
ads. In that way you will not only learn about pricing, but
also see a variety of presentations and selections. Don't be
greedy. Stay a little below the competition but allow yourself
a fair profit. Remember, your mark-up has to pay for
advertising, printing of your sales material, postage and
miscellaneous overhead cost, not to mention your time and effort.
Some of these products are sold at ridiculously low prices, and
on the other hand, some at extremely high prices. Neither is
effective. If you are too low, you will be suspect of offering
something sub-standard and, if you are too high, your material
will be trashed. The idea is to stay a little below the average
selling price. There is no quick fix in finding out what the
averages are. You simply have to take the time to write to as
many competing offers as possible. If you are buying material
from a publisher who provides you with sales material and
suggested retail prices, you may want to stay below the
suggested price. In this way, you do not have to redo the
promotions material. Also the public is attracted by perceived
deals.
If you product is priced correctly and your ad is in the right
magazine (under the right heading - general business
opportunities), the only thing left is your sales literature.
It is also the most important. Remember, in the mail order
business,, the customer cannot see, smell or feel the product
before buying it. It is therefore, absolutely of the utmost
importance that your material looks impeccable. This point
cannot be stressed enough. In my own testing over the years, I
have determined that the same product at the same price but
represented by an excellent looking package will outsell the
same product represented by a less than average package at
anywhere from double to triple the cost. And therein, can be
your success or failure. When you ar relatively new to our
business, you will generally be charged with enthusiasm which is
great because it is the energy what will propel you to success.
But your impatience and enthusiasm has to be controlled, or you
will make costly mistakes and you may become discouraged. So,
take your time and be sure your material looks first class.
This is the wrong place to save a few bucks. Here are a few
suggestions to help you in achieving success with the
presentation of your piece:
1. Unless you are using a ready-made circular or brochure
which you received when buying your reproduction article and it
satisfies you in every respect, have your piece laid out by a
graphic designer or experienced desk-top publisher. In most
medium and large cities there is an ample supply of these
professionals. Many of them operate out of their residence and
charge reasonable prices. Before you select one, visit several
and look at what they have done for others. If you don't like
what you see, keep on looking. Remember, the person you choose
can make or break you. Prices for layout of a single page may
vary from $20 to $50. Since your promotional piece will
generally only consist of one or two pages, this is a small
price to pay for success.
2. Have the written word used in both your sales letter and
promotional piece checked by someone who is absolutely competent
in the use of the English language. Your best bet there is a

3. Have your sales literature printed by a professional

How To Develop Money Making Ideas!
Many success stories have been told about how some people without money used ideas that
that they brainstormed to make money and even become famous. Today I shall tell you
how to develop money making ideas.
It isn't the billions of ideas, that pop up in the minds of
humans around the globe that make money. Very few ideas are
worth the time it took for the thought. Most ideas are fleeting
"sparks" that go no place and are forgotten before the next day.
Of the ideas that are good, very few are followed up and ever
end up as a worthwhile development in the market place. Most
people are just not oriented to do anything about their ideas,
while others believe it would take too much of their time and
money to follow through to completion. This leaves the market
place wide open for the person who learns how to "Create"
Profitable Ideas!
There are three major formats you can use to create profitable
idea:
1. Find something that already exists, the presence of which has
never been known before.
2. Invent something. Most inventions are merely new arrangements
of things that have already been invented.
3. Alter or improve in any number of different ways something
that already exists.
As you "Create" ideas, write them down. What you dream up can
be your key to great wealth. Keep your mind "open" as you go
through each day. What did you notice in the department store
that would reduce costs, save money or increase sales if some
simple procedure were added or something changed?
Ideas for improvements are one of the most valuable things you
can contribute to society and at the same time add to your bank
account. To create ideas for improvements, consider every
possibility and alternative for the thing you want to improve.
Learn to create ideas by evaluating all the different aspects of
the product, method or concept you are interested in. Put your
imagination and subconscious to work and write down your
thoughts pertaining to each of the things you expect to improve.
Use the New Wealth, "Idea Format" that follows as your guide for
creating Money-Making improvements.
Idea Format:
List the things you want to improve:
- Why should it be improved?
- Who will benefit from the improvement?
- What is wrong with it at the present time?
- Did someone else cause a problem with it?
- How do you propose to improve it?
- Do you have the facilities to do the work required?
- Do you have the know-how to do the work required to
improve it?
- Exactly what part needs to be improved?
- Should it be smaller? Larger?

This New Wealth "Idea Format" will start the ideas "sparking"
and as related ideas come to mind write them down in every
variation you can think of. Do not judge the good or bad points
of the ideas as they materialize to you, just write them down
and judge them afterwards. You will stop the flow of ideas if
you are critical of your thoughts before you put them on paper.
When you have answered everything you can about the product or
concept and know how it fits in with your plans, sit down and
evaluate all the details you have written.
After you have found (created) a good idea, follow it up with
questions on what should be your next move in order to do
something about it, then act! Get it moving. Expose it to the
world with sufficient tests to determine the value!
Come up with ideas that are still in the processing stage rather
than get stuck on several vague points that may be worked out
later as your subconscious goes to work. If your idea fails, so
what; you are just that much closer to finalizing another one,
then another... until a useful more valuable idea is born.
Every manufacturing plant, retailer, attorney, accountant;
every business person, large or small, cannot continue to
operate in the competitive world of today without someone in the
organization constantly coming up with new and better ideas!
Old ideas drop by the wayside as new ideas take their place.
Old companies without new ideas fade away.
Those who learn and know how to create ideas and anticipate the
changes needed, as the future evolves, have the opportunity to
be a great success with big money-making potential!
Another "tool" you can use to help dream up that million idea,
is to spend several minutes each evening, relaxed with your eyes
closed. Pick any object that comes to mind and try to change it
in your "mind's eye". Change it in every manner you can think
of to improve it.
The following evening pick another subject or object and repeat
the process. Soon you will be using 20% of your brain power
instead of the 10% normally used by the average person. As your
knowledge and "brain power" increase so will your bank account.
Just think what we could accomplish if we could get the other
80% of our brain power working? On second thought, let's not
try to get 100% efficiency out of your human computer . . . we
would probably blow up the world for sure.
Protecting Your Idea
When you have come up with a good idea, write a full description
of it and make a sketch if necessary. Place the written
information, the sketch and any other pertinent facts or
documents in an envelope addressed to yourself. Have the post
office seal the envelope with a date stamp over the flap, then
send it to yourself by registered mail. Keep the envelope,
unopened, in the event you need to prove ownership. Of course
if your product has a properly registered trade mark, has been
copyrighted, or you have a U.S. patent you are protected from
infringement.
A Few Idea "Sparks" !
When you come up with an idea, program or product that is so
superior in style or performance that it is unbelievable you may
need a notarized statement to assure your customer you are
offering an honest deal.
Make a habit of examining each piece of correspondence you
receive, taking care of it right at the time, do what is
necessary right then. Never put it aside to be handled a second
time if it all practical. This can save more time than anything
else for an executive who handles a large amount of
correspondence and mail. You can also save many more hours each
week by doing several of the most important things that need to
be done each day before you take up other, time consuming
important details.
Another good way to "spark" ideas is to go through the
classified and want ads in the newspaper ... Also the yellow
pages of your telephone directory. As you read, think of
something that would be of value to the company or person, or
enhance the item you are reading about.
In summary, learn to develop ideas from observing everyday
things and details. Think of what could make something better.
Dwell on things that have a large marketing audience, something
that everyone needs and wants. Write your ideas down. Put a
pencil and pad at your night stand. When you remember a good
dream... don't just lay there, by morning you will forget it...
Jot it down on the pad. You will be surprised what you can
dream up! Maybe the million dollar idea will magically appear
on your pad tomorrow morning!
that they brainstormed to make money and even become famous. Today I shall tell you
how to develop money making ideas.
It isn't the billions of ideas, that pop up in the minds of
humans around the globe that make money. Very few ideas are
worth the time it took for the thought. Most ideas are fleeting
"sparks" that go no place and are forgotten before the next day.
Of the ideas that are good, very few are followed up and ever
end up as a worthwhile development in the market place. Most
people are just not oriented to do anything about their ideas,
while others believe it would take too much of their time and
money to follow through to completion. This leaves the market
place wide open for the person who learns how to "Create"
Profitable Ideas!
There are three major formats you can use to create profitable
idea:
1. Find something that already exists, the presence of which has
never been known before.
2. Invent something. Most inventions are merely new arrangements
of things that have already been invented.
3. Alter or improve in any number of different ways something
that already exists.
As you "Create" ideas, write them down. What you dream up can
be your key to great wealth. Keep your mind "open" as you go
through each day. What did you notice in the department store
that would reduce costs, save money or increase sales if some
simple procedure were added or something changed?
Ideas for improvements are one of the most valuable things you
can contribute to society and at the same time add to your bank
account. To create ideas for improvements, consider every
possibility and alternative for the thing you want to improve.
Learn to create ideas by evaluating all the different aspects of
the product, method or concept you are interested in. Put your
imagination and subconscious to work and write down your
thoughts pertaining to each of the things you expect to improve.
Use the New Wealth, "Idea Format" that follows as your guide for
creating Money-Making improvements.
