The Only Envelope Stuffing Program That Works

A Co-op mailing service is an ideal little home-based business that can be started immediately by just about anybody. Although a little business, it can snowball into a highly successful venture that could provide for you and your family for the rest of your life. If you do it correctly and stick to it, you can earn virtually tens of thousands of dollars monthly whilst providing a much-needed service to businesses.

Other advantages of providing this service is that you need not outlay any cash of your own, you buy no equipment, you do not need to do any door to door sales, you can work part-time when it suits you and you can involve your entire family to help you out. There’s no experience required - all you need do is read this report and away you go! Simply follow our instructions as listed here and there’s no reason to fail. Do this business for as long as you wish - for the rest of your life if you’d like. A Co-op Mailing Service will always be in demand by other businesses in their quest for success.


How It All Works

Mail order businesses are always mailing out circulars to prospects. In order for them to do this on an ongoing basis, they have to do the following:


  1. Advertise for enquiries to generate a mailing list to send their marketing brochures to, and/or

  2. Rent mailing lists from a mailing list broker and send their marketing circulars to people on this list.

  3. Purchase envelopes and stamps or postage paid envelopes.

  4. Have their circulars printed.

  5. Fold and stuff envelopes with circulars and seal.

  6. Take the completed mail to the post office for posting.



The Service You Provide

Your duties as a mailing service provider will be to mail out circulars on behalf of these businesses for which you will charge them a fee far lower than what they will pay to do these things on their own. Your clients need only pay you a small fee which is lower than their mailing lists/advertising, postage and labour costs combined.

Your clients make contact with you and indicate that they want to make use of your mailing service. They tell you how many they want mailed out and supply you the circulars that must be mailed out. Each client will be quoted on a circular that is one A4 sheet either single or double-sided printed. If a client’s circular is more than this, then you must increase your fee accordingly. You will be able to stuff 5-6 such circulars into one envelope, so you will be able to deal with 5-6 clients at the same time provided they all have single A4 circulars, printed either one or two sides. You use your own mailing list or you may rent them at a nominal cost. You buy the required number of envelopes either prepaid or just plain envelopes and standard postage stamps. The mailing list you have or have rented will be in the form of sticky labels. You simply stick these on the envelopes or you may address these envelopes out by hand if you don’t have them on labels. Either way works out just fine. You fold and stuff all circulars and seal envelopes. You may employ your own family members to do the laborious tasks of sticking labels, writing out envelopes, folding, stuffing and sealing envelopes. Once the mail is ready, you simply hand them over to your nearest post office.

How Much To Charge

In order to figure out how much to charge, you first have to ascertain your total costs per 1000 mailing. Add a 50-75% mark-up to this cost. Now divide the total by the number of clients you have for one mailing. The figure you get is the fee you will charge each client. They’ll soon realize that this fee they will pay you is far less than what they would have paid had they done this themselves – and they don’t have to do any work too! Remember, your clients pay you this fee first before you do anything. You use part of this payment to pay for stationery/postage costs and the balance is your profits. Hence, you need not outlay any of your own money.

Finding Clients

Finding clients should be a relatively easy task. The trick here is to remind your prospective clients of the huge savings they will be making on their mailing. You will also save them time and the hassle of doing the laborious task of preparing and mailing large quantities of circulars. Find clients by searching through many magazine and newspapers that carry a lot of ads from mail order companies. Make contact with these companies and offer your services to them. You may also advertise in the Yellow Pages, on the Internet, in newspapers and magazines. Good Luck!

Google Cash Frenzy

Google, sometimes referred to as the Big G, has once again proved to the world that it still is the dominant and greatly profitable leader in the Internet search market. Recent reports indicate profits are up 110% to $721m in the three months to June 2006. Much of these Google profits come from their clever and very successful advertising program called Google Adwords.

Google, essentially a search company, had gained market dominance through smart ranking technologies that provided the user with the most relevant search results ever possible to date. It’s simple user interface, coupled with smart algorithms combined with a snappy name and logo has made it the most used search engine today, putting itself years ahead from it’s closest rivals. A listing for a targeted search term in the first page or two of Google’s organic listing is every webmaster’s dream. This means huge success in terms of traffic, sales and hence money in the bank! But, unfortunately, it is not possible for every website to be listed on the first page or two. Google saw the potential for offering paid listings that will appear alongside organic results for a search term. In this way, a webmaster can still get his website onto the first page or two under sponsored listings but for a price. Google launched their pay-per-click program – an advertiser only pays when someone clicks their ad, called it Adwords and the rest, as they say, is history!

Google then followed up with a progam called Adsense which is linked to Adwords. Adsense is where any ordinary webmaster (called a publisher) can display relevant ads from Google’s advertisers on their site. When a user to that site clicks an ad, Google pays them a percentage of that click cost.

Google, by it’s very existence, has given webmasters a chance to earn money in ways that wouldn’t have been possible. Currently, people make cash out of Google by using Adwords and/or Adsense. Thousands of ordinary people are sharing in on Google’s success and profits, making for themselves nice checks every month in the process. Let’s see how.

Adwords

Adwords are used by off-line and online businesses alike to advertise their products or services. But, for ordinary people, that’s not where the money is. Thousands of people are combining the versatility of affiliate programs with the reach of Adwords, making themselves a lot of money in the process.

People search for products that they can promote and more people turn to www.clickbank.com for this. Clickbank, a large Internet company, acts as reseller, payment processor and affiliate commission payer all in one. It works like this. A publisher, wanting to sell his/her products signs up with Clickbank and enters Clickbank’s marketplace. Affiliates wanting to promote the publisher’s products, signs up with Clickbank first as an affiliate and obtains an ID which is used in a special link called a hop link.

The affiliate then markets the publisher’s products by way of advertising, especially on Google Adwords (but can be by any other means although Google Adwords produces best results) in an effort to drive traffic to the site of the publisher. If the referral results in a sale, Clickbank processes the transaction, takes a percentage of the sale, allocates the commission to the affiliate and the balance to the publisher. Clickbank pays affiliates and publishers every two weeks.

This appeal and popularity lies in the fact that affiliates don’t need to have a product or website of their own and the commissions offered are very generous, sometimes as high as 75% of the product price. Affiliates also have the luxury of marketing a number of products from different publishers all at once.

But, a word of warning. Adwords is a bit intricate and very few people understand the system fully. If you don’t know what you are doing, you can lose a lot of money in a very short space of time. My advice would be to learn the system thoroughly, try a few small test campaigns and tweak as you go along. Never spend more than what you feel comfortable with and intensify your campaign only when you see positive results.

Adsense

Here, publishers on Google’s Content Network receive a commission when someone clicks on Google ads on their site. When an advertiser advertises with Adwords, he is given a few options. He can advertise on Google Search – ads appear as sponsored results alongside organic search results when users search using Google’s Search Engine, Google Search Network – ads appear on Google’s search partners and Content Network – independent websites that host Google ads ie. the Adsense sites we are talking about.

Participating in Google Adsense is relatively easy. You simply sign up for free at Google and when your site has been approved, you will be given Javacript code that you place on your website. Google provides publishers a range of options when it comes to ad sizes and colors in order to complement their site’s design and theme.

There are numerous tips to increase your Adsense revenue – too numerous to mention in this little article but I’ll tell you the most important ones. Firstly, build a website for the user and not Adsense. Put quality, fresh content that is relevant to your website and not duplicate, trashy content. Google is clamping down on sites made just for Adsense that offer the user no real benefit. Secondly, optimize your web pages correctly. Lastly, concentrate all your efforts on getting good, regular traffic to your site - after all, if no one visits your site, who will click on the ads?

Yes, making money with Google is possible but won’t happen overnight. Continuously research and test but most of all go slow, put in some hard work and keep up with it! All the best!

How To Start Up And Operate Your Own Home Typing Service

A home typing service is an ideal venture to get into on a part-time basis. While it won’t make you a millionaire, you can expect a few hundred dollars per month. I’m sure you could use that. However, if you are fast and good at it, you will find plenty of business coming your way from referrals and recommendations and your monthly income could very well skyrocket, making it a great home business idea.

There are thousands of typing possibilities and even more people looking for the services of a typing agency. Typing requests will come from business people, doctors, lawyers, authors, students and even job seekers. Some possible typing jobs may include resumes, sales letters, flyers, lawyers letters, student assignments, announcements, manuscripts, newsletters, etc.

What’s Required

In order to be successful in this home business concept, you need to obviously be able to type quite well. You don’t have to be a fast typist but rather a meticulous and professional one. You need to be dependable and finish typing assignments on time.

You obviously need to have a reliable computer and printer. An excellent word processing program like Word or similar is required. As the output quality of your finished assignment is crucial to your success, you might want to ensure that you have a printer that is capable of high-quality printing.

Demarcate a section in your home as your “office”. You might consider keeping your clients’ documents to be typed in a secure, preferably lock-up drawer or cupboard. This will ensure that it is out of reach from kids, prying visitors or your cleaning lady who might accidentally mistake it for garbage and discard it.

Depending on where you live, you might need to get a business license to operate from home. This requirement will vary from state to state, town to town, country to country. As this article will probably be read by people from all over the world, I would not be able to advise here except to say that you should consult your nearest trade office for direction.

Getting Started

Once your home office is ready, it is time to spread the word around about your new typing service. You should start with having business cards made and pass around to places like doctors’ rooms, libraries, hospitals, etc. A great idea is to make up small posters and pin them up on bulletin boards in shopping centers, community centers, message boards on campuses and colleges nearby. Any high foot traffic area is also recommended.

You may consider placing a few classified ads in your local papers. One such ad may look like this:

Ally’s Typing Service. All kinds of typing done professionally at reasonable rates. Quick and reliable. Tel: xxxxxxxxx

You may also consider advertising in the Yellow Pages. This is an advertising opportunity that works very well in this type of field.

Pricing

Your rates will normally be based on a per hour basis. The best way to determine your starting rates is to have a look at what your competition is charging. Phone them, quiz them on their rates for various items. Set your price a little lower than theirs. As you gain experience and people start recommending you for your excellent work and reliability, you can gradually start increasing your rates.

Customer Service

As with any other business, customer service is of paramount importance, sometimes the deciding factor on success or failure. Make sure, if possible, that there is a ‘live’ person taking enquiries from your clients and enquirers to your ads. If this person is not going to be you, make sure that the person you appoint possess sufficient knowledgeable to field the calls. You can easily ensure this is possible by providing him/her with the correct training. If you must use a telephone answering service, do so only as a last resort. Research has shown that if an enquirer is calling after reading your offer from a medium where there are similar offerings to your own like in classified listings, they will simply move on to the next ad if they get an answering machine when they call you. This is because most people are impulsive by nature – if they want to use a typing service then they want
all the information like rates, time frame, etc. now!

Good Work Etiquette

When you receive a typing job request, make sure you quote correctly. You also need to decide whether you can handle that type of request due to time constraints or if you have the sufficient typing skills to do a job that is quite intricate.

Give realistic completion estimates to your clients and it is a good idea to allow an extra day in case something goes wrong. Always honor the completion time with your clients but do not be forced into promising an earlier finishing time when you know that it’s going to be impossible.

Make separate folders for each of your clients and name it accordingly. You may want to back up your data daily on either a cd rom or any other external storage device for safety reasons. The last thing you need is to lose all your hard work in the event of a serious system crash.

This is really a good, workable business idea, especially for the house-bound although it can work for just about anybody. Take it easy, start small and expand slowly. All the best!

Making Money With Special Reports

One of the easiest ways of making money these days is to offer “How to” money-making reports for sale. Everybody wants to make more money and it seems the public have an insatiable appetite for ideas on how to make money. Satisfy this need and make yourself hundreds of dollars in the process.

This business opportunity works best if your reports are all about showing people how to make money. This is the best selling topic as there seems to be an ever increasing demand for these type of reports. Other types of reports don’t sell so well so it would be best to stick to these money-making reports to ensure quicker success.

Get reports together

The first thing to do is to get reports together to form a series based on a specific topic. A series should comprise of between 10-15 reports and each report should be between 2-3 pages in length. These reports will become your products which you offer for sale per series. Remember the best reports to sell are those reports that show people how to make money. You can get reports for resale in one of two ways:

By purchasing reprint rights

Here you use other people’s reports by purchasing the rights to reproduce and sell them for yourself. There are many authors out there who will gladly supply you with a thousand reports with reprint rights for around $50. One such place is here
You only pay for these reports once and no other royalty payments are levied. This means that you get to keep 100% of the profits for yourself.

By writing them yourself

If you are fairly knowledgeable and experienced in specific money-making opportunities, you may wish to put these down on paper. Even if you don’t know much about something, you can research on the internet and/or libraries. Another way to put together information is to speak to experts in the field. You’ll be amazed that most of these ‘experts’ are helpful individuals who will not hesitate to impart their knowledge and advice.

Once you’ve accumulated these reports and formed them into a series of 10-15 reports, you are now ready to begin marketing them. A great price to charge for these reports is $10-$15 per series.

Marketing these reports

There are two ways to market these reports. One is through conventional mail order and the other through the internet.

Conventional mail order

Prepare a one page sales brochure describing your reports. Make this brochure appealing to your customer, include a price and an order form. Now write out a 3-4 line classified ad and place this in relevant sections in various newspapers. You would ask respondents to write or call for further information. An example of a classified ad may look like this:
Free Report! How to make big $$ in your mailbox everyday! Send SASE to ……

It’s a good idea to ask for a SASE (self-addressed-stamped-envelope) from readers as it saves you postage. Once you receive the SASE from the reader, you place a sales brochure into it and post it. If readers like your offer, they will send you a payment through the mail by check or postal order. Alternatively, you could place a larger ad in magazines and newspapers with much more information, including an order coupon and order details. A customer will place their order directly to you upon reading your larger ad. This order will also come through the mail. Another great idea is to rent mailing lists of income opportunity seekers from a mailing list broker and mail out your sales brochures to these prospects.

Internet

The internet has made it easier and cheaper for mail order businesses to operate. Here you will do a web page detailing your offer. You will need to link up to a payment processor like Paypal to debit your customers’ credit cards or Paypal accounts. You advertise your offer in free classifieds, through pay-per-click advertising or through email campaigns. A visitor, interested in your offer, will read through your web page and place their order with their credit card or Paypal account. The credit card processor will collect the monies on your behalf and remit it to you.

Order fulfillment

Your last step in this process is to fill the customer’s order – a process known as order fulfillment. Obviously, the process varies depending on what sales method you have used.

Conventional mail order

Once you receive a customer’s order with payment, you may now post the reports to the customer. You have the reports photocopied, bind them neatly if necessary and insert them into a big envelope. Affix the correct postage stamps to this and post.

Internet

Prepare your reports either in pdf format or text format. You upload a copy to your server and note the location of this file. Your website then needs to be integrated with the payment processor so that as soon as there has been a successful payment, your customer is taken to a download page that shows a link to this file or you can set it so that an automatic email is sent to the customer providing the download link. Your customer may then download these reports on to their computer by right-clicking the download link and choosing “Save Target As”.

I was first introduced to this concept eighteen years ago and even up to this day, it is still a greatly successful and lucrative opportunity. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean!
