THE SECRETS OF MAKING 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 and sells them 

for as much as $5 each.



	The make-up and circulation of the advertising circular is the all-important key.  

You should group your reports by the titles that really appeal to the wants and needs of 

your prospective customers, and for a series of reports - 10 to 15 per series -list them as a 

complete set on your 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 listing all of your reports or you can run your advertising circular as a 

"full page" advertisement or send it out as a 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 76% 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 are written, precisely what kind of information they contain, and from 

there, the background you will need to start writing similar folios and reports of your own.



	Let's say you send for the groups 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 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 

many 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 will print at a cost that is agreeable to you, have a supply 

printed up.  After they are printed, be sure to separate your originals or the masters form 

the supply you are going to be selling.  It is 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 have 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 feel will interest the most 

people - Such a report might be  "How To Get Big $$!" (listed as #3603)



	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 reports - with your name/address in place of ours, 

of course - and send it back to them in the self-addressed, and stamped envelope the in to 

you.  In most cases, you will 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 will 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, make 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 is the bread and butter of most mail order businesses - and the only right 

way to go if you are trying to make it with a minimum investment.



	Best of luck in all your mail order endeavors.
