"How TO" manual on how to make $100,000 a year compiling and



selling mailing lists. You check with a number of printers and



get a production cost of $1.50 per book in lots of 1,000. You



figure that with sharp advertising, you can "sell a million" of



these books at $10 per copy, but that advertising will cost you



$1.50 per book. Thus far, the basic cost of your book is $3 per



copy.





Even though you will probably be the one selling most of your



books, you must realize that it will take you an awfully long



time to move out a million copies of this book. It will keep you



busy 25 hours a day, 8 days a week to do it all by yourself. So



the thing to do is recruit as many other people as you can to



help do the selling. This means setting up a dealer distributor



network.





To do this, you must make it worthwhile for other people to sell



your product. You offer a percentage of the sales price to each



book they sell for you. Generally, this is about 50% for each



single copy sold; 60% when purchased in quantity lots of 25 to 99



copies; and 75% when purchased in lots of 100 copies or more. The



important thing is to shave your profits to a minimum when you



have other people doing the work for you.





Let's use, the, our example of a $10 book that costs you $1.50 to



produce in lots of 1,000. For people who buy from you in lots of



100 copies, you could cut your profit to $1 per book, sell it to



them for $2.50 per book, and let them do all the advertising, as



well as the selling. Don't offer more than 50% on single copy



dropship sales, because you'll have to furnish this type of



dealer with selling materials, and continue to do most of the



advertising yourself.





Setting up your distributor program will require advertising and



a sales kit for the sellers. Thus, you should make up a series of



"Dealers Wanted" ads and place them in as many different



publications as you can.





The national "opportunity" magazines are the best place to place



your advertising for dealers. Remember, the ad should be a call



for dealers, distributors and independent extra income seekers.



Do not try to sell your product in this ad. Use it only to enlist



or recruit people to sell for you. Remember too, the more you run



your dealers wanted ad, and the more different publications you



run it in, the more people you'll get to sell your product for



you. The easiest way to go is with "Dealers Wanted"



advertisements in as many worldwide publications as possible.





You'll lose your shirt attempting to recruit sales people via



direct mail, and you'll never make any headway with just a



"Dealers Wanted insert" in each book you sell. If you want sales



people, you must advertise for them.





To actually get these interested opportunity seekers to sell your



product for you, you'll need a dynamic sales letter and seller's



kit to send out in response to the replies to your advertising.



This kind of sales letter is usually four pages in length,



printed on 11 by 17 inch paper, to sell the prospect on the idea



of selling for you, use the amount of space and paper that's



necessary.





If you've written sales letter properly, that's all there is to



it. Some people charge an "up-front" dealer's registration fee.



We don't recommend this, for a number of reasons--mainly because



it immediately eliminates a great many people who might want to



least try to sell the product for you, but are not willing to



"pay" to sell for you.





Some sellers charge $1 to $5 for details and complete dealership



set-up to offset the cost of the initial seller's kit and



postage. This is what we recommend at the start. If you offer



your program for nothing, you'll get as many responses from



curiosity seekers and opportunity collectors as from bona fide



prospects.





If you charge for the dealership set-up, you should include a



sample of your product. For the more elaborate sales kits and



expensive products, most people ask for deposit, which is



refunded after a certain number of sales are made by the dealer.



Any charges more than $5 should not be mentioned in your "Dealers



Wanted" advertisements, but held over and fully explained in your



sales.





This is how you set up a dealer/distributor network: Get other



people to sell your product for you! You can, and should be



prepared from the start, before you place your first dealers



wanted ad, and proceed only as you can afford the advertising



costs from the profits of sales of your product.





It's simple, and it's easy, and, it can make your rich! You had



to have real interest to have ordered this report. We hope that



it has motivated you with the entrepreneurial spirit, and that
