How to Make Profits With a Commission Mailing Business

There are many mailorder publications that will list your nameunder this directory... "Commission Circulars Wanted"...

List your name under this classification and dealers will mail bundles of circulars to you with a blank space at the bottom ofthe ad in which you stamp your name. You mail these out and the ads "appear" to be your own. You receive money for whatever is advertised on the circular. You keep 50% and the dealer who sent you the circulars will fill the order for you for the other half.

Never mail out a single circular by itself. Mail as many of the different circulars as you can, in the same envelope. Stuff your envelopes full. The more you mail to one customer, the more likely you'll make a sale and the less will be the per unit mailing cost. Mail order enthusiasts do read these circulars!

Next, run ads in different magazines saying that you mailcirculars for others. Charge whatever you determine is fair. Use the standard rate charged by others in the business. Youcan get this information easily by checking several dealers offering this service in the various mailorder publications and adsheets. Then determine a fair charge based on the variationsof your services from the normal operations.

Always mention in your ads that "WE MAIL COMMISSION CIRCULARS FREE!" Whichever part of the ad the reader responds to, you can make money. It is possible to turn this business into a fulltime job and make good money well worth the effort you put into it.

The best plan to follow is to keep growing. Run an ad every chance you get. Take on new commission circulars, test them,keep the ones that pull, omit the ones that do not pull. Beforeyou realize it, you will graduate from a part-time mailer to afull time money-maker!
