HOW TO WRITE "GENERAL" ARTICLES!
Let the readers know what is in store for them by the " blaze" in
your first paragraphs of an article. There are two kinds of
articles; those which cover things in general and can be
published at most any time, and current events. The best place to
start with these kind of articles is the local newspaper with a
goal of syndication to many other media.
In order dor acceptance by the editor there must be a local twist
of personal interest to the readers. The ununusual and odd things
abot people and their vocation and gives the reader a departure
from the daily drudgery are the best and most saleable articles
to write about. This includes adventure,mystery, murder, money,
accidents, discoveries, economy, history, illness, jail,
jealousy, obsessions, quacks, struggles, taxes, etc.
You must attract attention from the first words when writing
feature stories for a newspaper type publication, where as a
novel or short story for a magazine builds to a climax and
generally clears up all the loose ends at completion
For a magazine article to sell to the publisher "action" in the
first and last part is a must, while the body copy is devoted to
narrative or explanations with a number of vital incidents to
keep the action alive. Keep the writing "flowing" in such a
manner the reader will anxiously read ahead to see what happens
next.
When it is possible to do so without distorting the truth, add
some fiction to your life stories to keep them interesting and
alive! Submit 8x 10 glossy print photos if possible as often the
picture will be the difference between acceptance and rejection.
It will pay you to get a good camera so you can snap pictures to
go along with the articles.
When submitting your copy, put your name, address and phone
number at the upper left cover of the first page and total number
of words containeed in the article on the upper right side. If
you are submitting an article to the newspaper a title will not
be necessary as the editor will usually determine after reviewing
the article.
Leave plently of room at the top of the pages, use double spacing
and wide margins so there is plenty of space for editing. Number
the pages at the top. preferable on the right hand side. Type
only on the front side of each page. Enclose a Stamped, self
addressed return envelope. Lay it out so your name always appears
with the article so that you will gain recognition as a writer.
There are millions of things to write about so you should nver be
without ideas for your articles. To get the ideas all you need to
do is go through the dictionary and write about anything and
everything that comes to mind, based on the more practical words.

STOP PAYING REAL ESTATE TAXES FOR FOREVER. No more property tax,
no school, sewer or other local civic taxes--avoid ALL these
taxes by simply LIVING ON THE WATER in your own boat. The Chinese
have been living aboard their boats for many generations so this
is nothing new! You can buy a 40 foot houseboat with two 220 HP
engines for a little as $11,000 on terms. Get more information by
sending a SASE to: H.C WILSON, BOX 177, RIVERSIDE, NJ.08075.
GET AN EXCLUSIVE OFFICE WITH NO RENT. The way you do this is
become a "Rental Manager." Many office complexes have vacant
spaces because there is no on-the-premises manager to show the
space and answer questions. Find out which complexes are having
vacancy problems and locate the owner. he will normally be glad
to offer you an office if you answer calls, and show off the
spaces to prospective clients.
GET $20,000 WORTH OF FREE FURNITURE. You can obtain free
furniture and a lot of other merchandise by starting up a
"freebie Newspaper." What you do is contact store owners and
merchants who normally advertise in regular local papers and
offer to run their ads in exchange for free furniture, or other
merchandise. True, you will be running their ad free but chances
are you wouldn't have to a paid ad for that space either. If you
promote this right, you could grow into a large operation and go
into PAID circulation before you know it. In the meantime, and
for as long as you like, you can continue to receive FREE
merchandise in exchange for advertising.
HOW TO BORROW MONEY INTEREST-FREE. There are a number of ways to
borrow money interest-free if you take the time to operate the
methods. However, one of the simplest ways is to borrow it from a
bank which offers "overdraft protection." You've seen these
offers by banks which extend to you a loan for the amount you
overdraw your checking account. By setting up two or more (and
credit limits can go up to $5,000 each) you can write yourself a
"loan" from one bank cover the loan with a deposit from another
bank where you have overdraft checking, and then repeat the
process every day or two covering each withdraw with another
deposit, you will not be charged interest since it would take two
or three days for the records to catch up--by the time, you've
made another deposit which covered the original loan. Operated
this way, you can keep the money interest-free for quite some
time.
OWN YOUR OWN MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION IN 4 WEEKS. Here again,
it is helpful to form your corporation in Delaware. In this state
the law allows you to assign any "par-value" to stock as you
like--even though there are no assets to back your valuation.
Thus, it is possible to assign a par value of $10,00 each to 100
shares of stock and list it in your book as "assets." It's
strictly a paper poly but can be used in a number of situations
to enhance your image among other prospective business partners.
By appearing wealthy, you can swing many deals and make friends
with people in higher positions of power. Try it.
GET NEW BUSINESS WHERE YOU VIRTUALLY CAN'T LOSE. The industry
that produces more millionaires than any other is in SALES. There
is one business where you can't virtually can't lose and it's
MAILORDER. A firm called Rexon Inc.,676 Kingsley Ave.,Orange
Park, FL.32073 has recently begun offering distributorships and
opportunities for its fine line of products. They furnish a
beginning supply of material to get you started and, at this
writing, guarantee your success by offering TEN TIMES your money
back on the beginner's sales kit. Although there is a nominal
charge for the kit, they give enough free products to pay back
that cost almost overnight. Thus, you can still get in on a
profitable business for almost FREE.
HOW TO GET FREE TRAVEL. Still again, its is possible to appoint
yourself as President of your non-profit organization and have
the organization supply you with "free" vehicle with all
expenses. If our organization is a church related corporation,
you can tour Europe for free--to visit Church cathedrals as an
example. A Church can raise money by "selling" charters, degrees,
and other cheap paper for hundreds of dollars. Many non-profit
organizations sell "degrees" and diplomas for upwards of $1500
each--and it's all legal.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR OWN AD SHEET. Usually ad sheets are
started by the publisher cutting ads from other magazines and
running his paste-ups with these "freebies". The beginner then
mails his ad sheet to those dealers and asks them to re-run their
ads with him a "X" number of dollars per column inch. This is a
risky beginning because many dealers will not buy additional ad
space for one reason or another. DOMAR ENTERPRISES, Box 581,
Laurel, MD.20810 has a method for starting ad sheets that is
almost 100% risk free. They will send you a full page of
all-profit ads (ones that pay 100% commission) and you run these
ads over your name in your first edition of your ad sheet. As
paid ads come in, you simply replace the 100% ads with the paid
ads. Until you get paid ads, you continue making money whether
you get paid advertisers or not. Moreover, THIS SAME COMPANY will
actually design your master ad FREE if you will run their 3 x 6
ad in your first edition. Thus, you can make money off their ads,
and get a professionally designed ad sheet free.
HOW TO RAISE $200,00 IN 24 HOURS. Many people have had
opportunities presented to them where a quick cash was necessary.
Most people are unable to take advantage of the great
opportunities because they lack the cash. A simple procedure is
available whereby you can generate cash within 24 hours. The
process is easy and quick and requires that your first make the
preparation and lay the groundwork for the plan. You can call
this plan the banking round robin. Go to ten banks and tell the
loan officer at each bank you want to borrow $1000 for 30 days.
Upon paying off your loans, wait 30 days and go back to each bank
from which you borrowed the original $1000. This time request a
larger amount depending on what you think the bank will loan, say
$5000. If each bank approves a $5000 loan you will be able to
raise $50,000 the second time. Continue this step-by-step
process. Each time go to the bank, ask for larger amount and
longer pay back period. What you are doing, of course, is
establishing a millionaires credit rating by the process of
reputation. That is, you always pay back the money when
it is due, and by being prompt combined with the number of loans
you've made and PAID, you will have established a very powerful
credit rating and relationship with the institutions. In about
one year after using this process, you should be able to borrow
$20,000 from each bank on your signature. Using ten banks in
this plan, you will be able to borrow up to $200,000 on your
signature in as little as 24 hours.
WIPE OUT DEBTS WITHOUT BANKRUPTCY. In 1988 a federal law was
passed known as the Wage Earner Plan. It is administered by the
same branch of our courts that handles bankruptcy. You must be a
wage earner to use this law--that is the primary requirement. The
Wage Earner plan does not itself "wipe out" debts, but a
little-known proviso of your filling requires your creditors to
appear. Statistics indicate that 40% fail to appear in which
case, those debts are indeed "wiped out". In some cases 100% of
the creditors fail to appear which enables you to wipe out ALL
your debts without bankruptcy. If some of the creditors do
appear, then the court allows you to spread your payments out
over a three year period in smaller amounts you can afford to
pay. Once you file, you stop bill collectors, lawsuits,
judgements, assignments, seized bank accounts, and other actions
against you. An to top it all off, your credit rating is, in many
cases, improved because you made a honest effort to work with the
lending firms. Additionally, if the seller used deceptive trade
practices to induce your purchase, your debt may be wiped out
under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. Under the
Homestead Act, your residence can be exempted from levy to extent
determined by local law. Check at your local courthouse.
ESTABLISH AAA CREDIT IN 30 DAYS. To work this plan you need at
least $400 to begin. You should borrow this from your friends if
necessary. Then go to the bank of your choice and deposit the
$400 into a regular passbook savings account. It will take a few
days for the account to be posted and return to the bank to ask
for a $400 loan- you offer the passbook as collateral. Since the
bank is already holding your $400, there is no way it can lose by
lending you another 400 and they won't even make a credit check.
Then with your borrowed $400, you go to another bank, open up an
savings account, return a few days later, borrow $400 from that
bank using your passbook account as collateral. Then repeat the
process at a third bank with your borrowed $400 from the bank
using your passbook account as collateral. Wait a few days and go
to a fourth bank where you open this time a CHECKING account.
Wait a few days and make a payment on each of the other three
loans. A week later, make payments again on the three loans, and
continue paying each week until you have almost paid off the
balance. A credit invitation at this point will show you with
three active bank loans (which are considered hard to get), a
checking account, and paying history for the three bank
loans--with you having paid up in advance. Thus, you have a AAA
credit in a little as 30 days. From here you go on to apply for
credit cards, and other items on credit.
GET ANY CREDIT CARD YOU WANT. You should have no problem getting
any credit card you want if you follow the above procedure first.
But, there are a few rules to follow to insure you have no
difficulties in obtaining your cards: 1) Apply for department
store cards first. Purchase something and pay the balance when
due; 2) apply for a gasoline credit cards listing your department
store cards as references; 3) Apply for bank cards--Master Charge
and Visa; 4) Apply for Travel and Entertainment cards--American
Express, Diners Club, etc.
HOW TO BUY HOMES AND LAND FOR A FEW DOLLARS. Yes, you can buy
homes, apartments and land for next to nothing by using the
procedure of bidding at "tax delinquency and lien sales." These
are made to recover unpaid taxes on property which is auctioned
off 3 to 4 times each year. Check your local tax assessor for
dates. In the past people have picked up $50,000 homes for as
little as $2,000 and apartments and land for similar discounts.
HOW TO STOP PAYING PROPERTY TAXES ON YOUR HOME. The way to do
this is to sign over the title of your home to your non-profit
organization. You can form your own church or organization and
apply for tax-exempt status at your county courthouse. Or, you
can sign over the title of your home to your local church or
other non-profit organization if you do not will it to go to your
heirs. Under this arrangement, you retain lifetime habitation
rights although the property belongs to the local non-profit
organization.
HOW TO GET YOUR 3X6 CIRCULARS TYPESET FREE. The plan is so simple
you'll wonder why you never thought of it yourself. But once you
give it a try, you will thank us a thousand times for revealing
it to you. There are literally hundreds of mail order
publications that will print your add by the "letterpress"
method. This means they actually set it up in type. This is the
only method that an ad or circular can be done properly and with
good taste (commercial art excepted, of course). First, pick out
a good publication and determine the words per inch policy. If
your offer has nay merit at all, your ad in either MAIL SALE
ADVERTISER OR MAIL ORDER DISCOUNTER will sell for many times over
the price of the ad. This means your ad is run free. And, after
your ad is published in the magazine, you merely clip it out,
mail it to your printer, and presto--you have your ad or 3 x 6
circular typeset FREE-- plus you have made a good profit.
HAVE 5,000 PEOPLE MARKET YOUR PRODUCT IN 30 DAYS
An excellent source for distributing your merchandise is by
"independent salesman".
There are individuals who sell on their own and are always on the
look out for good items to carry along with their regular
merchandises.
The best way to contact them is through magazines such as;
Making Profits
6255 Barfield RD.
Atlanta, GA 30328
or
Money Making Opportunities
11071 Ventura Blvd.
Studio City, CA 91604
Insert a good ad in the Classified Section of one of these
publications, for example; "brand new opportunity! Independent
salesman wanted nationwide. For information, contact (your name
and address). You will find yourself receiving thousand of
replies and you can be sure these independent salesman will do a
terrific job of selling for you, as they make money on
commissions only.
Another way is to contact "Wagon Jobbers"
A wagon jobbers is someone who takes any number of products from
different jobbers or manufactures, puts them in the truck or
station wagon and travel along his "route" selling to people whom
he knows will buy from him because they are his customers.
They are excellent salesman, and when given a decent commission,
can do a terrific job of selling your products.
The best way to contact them is to rent a "wagon Jobber" mailing
list from a mailing broker, and then write a detailed letter
describing the product you want to sell and what kind of
financial arrangement or commissions you are offering.
The more people you get to sell, the larger your profits will be.
HOW TO GET FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO OVER 60 MAGAZINES

your letterhead or a plain sheet of paper. Ask to be placed on

INSIDER'S SECRETS OF THE MAIL ORDER WHOLESALE BOOK BUSINESS
The real profit in selling books by mail is by having dealers
sell for you. Rather than mailing out thousands out thousands of
your own mailing packets at todays high postage cost, get
hundreds of thousands mailed out through your own dealers. This
can generates steady orders and profits and is one of the great
secrets to a successful Mail Order book business.
There are a number of Prime Source Mail Order firms offering good
Mail Order distributorships. They offer high quality books,
reports, and folios that appeal to the public; the kind of
publications that have generated consistently high profits in the
Mail Order business.
You should give wholesale book selling a try. Recognize the
profit potential and determine if this method fist with your
other programs.
Most of the better Prime Source firms offering distributorships
have a simplified program with includes instructions, profit
tested literature, sales letters, brochures, order forms and
return envelopes to do the selling job for you. the simple
instructions can be followed even by the inexperienced person.
The old timers in Mail Order can use the wholesale book selling
programs to supplement their other projects, in many instances
combining book selling with their other mailing activities with
very little added expense.
The Prime Source will ship your customers orders for literature,
brochures, etc...,under your shipping label. They will also
drop-ship the books and publications direct to your dears, using
your name or label.
Your wholesale cost for publications will vary depending on
whether you have the Prime Source drop-ship direct to your
dealers, or in quantity to your place of business. The amount you
charge your dealers will also vary depending on drop-ship
services or quantity purchases. You, as the wholesaler, should
make an effort to purchase the publications for a minimum of four
time below retail price.
You must ascertain that the Prime Source sufficient inventory
with a number of different titles and that titles may be assorted
in making up quantity when you purchase in volume. Determine if
shipments are made promptly.
The price you have to pay the Prime Source often is the
determining factor in the success of your program. If the book
retails at a price too low, considering the high postage and
mailing costs, no profit can be realized by your dealer,nor by
yourself, unless orders are limited to a minimum number of titles
for each total purchase. Be certain that the program offered by
the Prime Source allows sufficient margin to pay all your costs,
and your dealers, while generating fair profit for you both.
To find the right programs for your operation write to a number
of firms offering book selling wholesale programs.
These can be found in any of the hundreds of Mail Order ad
sheets, magazines and publications available today. (Some call it
"Junk Mail" but if they only new the money-making potential of
the right program,( "Gold Mail would be more appropriate).
Get their literature then order a minimum starting packet of the
programs that interest you and fit in with your Mail Order
business schedule. Make tests to prove the value of each program.
Drop those that do not prove out after a reasonable test.
THE BEST BOOKS TO SELL BY MAIL
First, forget about fiction! These can be purchased at most any
store, on the corner found at the library, or bought through the
large Mail Order book clubs. Scientific, technical and text books
are other categories to stay away from. All others have a good
Mail Order potential. There is a broad market on religious books
especially those dealing with the "End Times", however, most
books in this classification are controlled by the various church
outlets.
Self help and do-it-yourself books are best for newcomers. Sex
books are one of the most profitable fields of selling books by
mail. Repeat orders are high, but so is the penalty if state or
local laws are broken. The Publisher does not advocate selling
this kind of material as one can make a fortune without resorting
to what is or could be considered immoral.
Mystic and metaphysical books are more or less specialized field
ad generally the demand is not large. Health and recreation books
have a steady market, but they are mostly tied up by firms in the
catalog business.
Choose the type of books that interest you most. You can better
enjoy and promote things you like. Keep card records for each of
your customers. Above all guarantee satisfaction and back it up
with prompt and courteous refund policies
THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM IN YOUR BOOK SELLING MAIL PACKET
Test indicate the most important component of your mail packet
when selling books is the order form. Many Mail Order dealers are
not aware that most people in opening "junk mail" will merely
skim over the contents of the package, put everything else aside
and study the order form to try to determine if the offer is
appealing.
This being the case, it is of utmost importance that the order
form be attractive, with the right wording to make it extra
appealing. You should make up the order form first ad build the
rest of your mailing packet around it.
The order form must clearly tell the prospect the action to take
such as: "complete and return for information"..."send $9.95 with
the order form", etc.
It should tell the prospect just what he will be getting: a book,
magazine subscription, catalog, membership, product, etc.
It should contain a sentence whereby they accept the benefit of
your offer, such as: "Yes, I will appreciate your information on
How to Make a Million Without even Trying"...or..."please send me
the latest edition of your book on "How to sell books by mail",
etc.
The form should be large enough for the necessary information and
still fit in a reply envelope. The color should stand out from
the rest of the mailing so it will be easy for them to spot right
away when they first open the packet. Since the order form is the
first thing they will be looking for when they pen the mail, a
bright color will get attention immediately.
HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR BOOK IN THE SALES LETTER
After the order form, the sales letter is generally the next most
important document included in your book selling packet. The
prospects will want to review the sales letter or see what the
offer involves. The first time over, they will usually just hit
the headings and any sentences which stand out enough to arouse
their interest. If it appears interesting they will then start
over and read the whole body of the letter.
To retain their interest as they first review the letter, make
several of the more important parts of your sales message stand
out by using capital letters, underlines, indentations, colored
ink, or a few handwritten notes along the edge of the letter.
These "messages" are only to arouse interest and make the
prospect want to read the entire letter. Therefore they should
not be pressure words or state the main benefits of your offer.
You should use the information pertaining to the benefits the
prospect will derive from reading your book to the act of
ordering the book rather than directly from reading the book. In
other words, let them know that they will benefit only when they
have acted and already ordered the book, it is in their lap and
they will learn how to do,or control something of value to them
by reading the information
There has been a great deal of controversy as whether the long or
short sales letter creates the most orders. Generally, keeping
the letter short and to the point is the best policy, at least
for your first few books or publications. This however depends on
just what your offer entails. The only really practical way to
find out which is the better way is to make both styles and
maintain comparable records of the results.
MORE TIPS FOR BOOKSELLERS!
As you progress in this business, you can save a great deal of
money by learning to prepare your own layout and "camera ready"
copy. Have it all ready for the printer's camera then all they
have to do is shoot it, make a plate, throw it on the offset
press and run as many copies as you want.
Even though it takes more time than you might expect, when
getting started, it will pay you to do your own folding,
collating, stuffing, stamping and mailing. When the money
continues to pour in you can then purchase necessary mailing
equipment, or have a good, reasonable letter shop or printer do
the stuffing and mailing for you while you concentrate on
promoting more books and adding to your operation.
Continuously analyze your results so you will know whether your
promotion is doing the job or not for each of your products. When
you find the right combination and the results are positive, go
for it full blast! Duplicate and compound your profits as rapidly
as possible by investing all of your income from the particular
book or publication in ads with new and different media of the
same type as those bringing in the money.
HOW TO SELL BOOKS BY MAIL
Now that you have written that attractive report, how are you
going to sell it? Perhaps you have already tried by placing a
carefully written classified or maybe a large display ad, then
waited for the postman to pile the flood of orders in your box.
What happened? The odds are 100 to 1 that you came up with a
couple of orders for all the time and effort. Why? You see
continuous ads, small ones and full page $4,000 ads in
newspapers, and magazines offering books and information. Many of
them are repeated over and over again by the same advertiser. You
know that they are making it or they could not continue to
advertise month after month. How are they making it when you
don't seem to have any luck?
By examining the operations of these successful people we find
that they use several simple and easy methods to produce
excessive profits in the Mail Order Book Selling Business. When
you know these methods and put them to work for yourself you will
find that you too have the opportunity to make big money in this
business.
To start yourself on the road to success in writing your own
books and reports then selling them...Anytime and every time you
think of an idea or book title, write it down immediately.
Regardless of how idiotic it may appear to you at first, it could
be the ingredient you need to start you on the way to a fortune.
File your notes and look them over periodically. You put yourself
in a position whereby you have a good chance to come up with an
idea or a title that will be a real money-making "Blockbuster."
If you are writings are about your own experiences on an
inspirational or how-to subject, consider writing the book as
well as the ads that sell it, in the "first person". This gives
the reader the feeling he is getting personal communication and
is not just a number in a computer.
Many in Mail Order business, including ourselves, have indicated
that it is not a good policy and often a waste of time and money
to advertise in a general daily or weekly newspaper. This is true
under ordinary circumstances, but we find that when you have a
real "strong" title it pays to place conservative "test" ads in
the newspaper in order to learn the results quickly. However one
must keep extensive records in order to compare results and
determine if they may have a winner.
When tests indicate you have a winner, all that is left too do is
expand the advertising in the proper media and fill orders. It is
advisable to structure the price of your book so an offer will
stand an advertising expense of at least one-half of the selling
price. You need to spend this much for advertising in order to be
successful.
A 100% guarantee is a must in the book selling business. Not
everyone who purchases your book, regardless oh how "great" it
is, is going to benefit from it. There are always a few who will
want their money back. You must have a unique guarantee which
reassures them they haven't spent their money until they are
satisfied. This can be done in many different ways, such as
holding their checks for 30 days or longer before depositing
them.
For the author/self-publisher, selling by mail is really the only
way to go. The production costs are low because the value is in
the information, not necessary in the number of pages written.
Mail Order is one of the finest businesses ever for the little
guy who wants the opportunity to try for the big "bucks"! All
you have to do is test with just small expenditure, correct your
mistakes and let the business expand itself!
Action pictures used in your ads get fabulous results if handled
right. Especially productive are ideas showing your product in
action. Search out the drawings and pictures used in better ads
that run month after month to learn what effective copywriting is
all about, then use the same ideas for your comparative
publication.
If you are able to write a "self improvement' book or handbook
with very valuable information and at the same time make it
lively, witty and interesting, you could have the makings of a
million dollar winner. After your first tests prove reasonable,
determine if a more reasonable price structure will produce
better net profit through appealing to a large audience. When you
find it hitting real good, promote it in every way possible.
Send out several hundred copies to book reviewers to get
write-ups in as many publications as possible. Learn to deal with
the many small booksellers and bookstores, or cooperate with some
large distributors to get the books out through their normal
channels.
As you grow and progress, build up and maintain your name lists.
Make them available to other firms who wish to make offers to
proven buyers.
When you find the right combination (title, body and ad), a lot
of money can be made in a short time and it is a great thrill to
write and ad, test it, and see the money pouring in from your own
creative ability.
The large publishing companies use a shotgun approach, publishing
many titles when profiting from the few successful ones. They
can't begin to market effectively all the many books on their
list and try to sell your book through them is generally futile.
Do it yourself and control the entire operation. If it doesn't go
you can cut if off before heavy promotional expenditures bury
you. You remain flexible and diversified when you are your own
publisher.
Run some small classified advertisements in the Wall Street
Journal and other good publications, to get inquires. When enough
books are sold to more than cover the cost of the ads and
mailings, slowly, as the profits build up, run more and larger
ad. As sells prove your publications to be winners, you can run
full pages ads in national magazines, inviting direct orders with
a coupon included in the ads.
Remember, as you sit down to write, the information should be
about something in which you are knowledgeable and interested, or
something you have throughly reasearched. It must have some value
for the readers and they should benefit by having read it. If it
is not helpful to the reader and the benefits are not there,
sells cannot be sustained.
In summary, your book must fill a genuine need; the price
structure must be correct, there has to be a large or mass market
for the information in your book, your advertising must be
believeable, you must offer a strong guarantee, you must test
throughly before investing substantial amounts to promote and
sell the book.

THEY HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR YEARS AND IT STILL WORKS!
MAKE BIG MONEY IN REAL ESTATE
Real Estate is one of the oldest forms of investing known to man.
Real Estate investing is easy and fortunes are made in a simple
manner. For example, and investor decides that a desert area will
eventually become an industrial development. He purchases a
number of acres at a very low price. If his guess turns out to be
correct, ten years later he sells the land hundred times more
than what he paid for it.This can happen in any part of the
country and is not an exceptional case.
As the population keeps growing in the U.S., land prices continue
to raise and it means that Real Estate will continue to offer one
of the best investment opportunities in the country.
Compared to most forms of investment, Real Estate offers greater
profit potential. Of course, not every piece of land will turn
out to be a winner, and despite the great potential rewards in
some cases risks are involved, so the necessity of careful study
before invest.
One of the problem of Real Estate is his lack of liquidity.
Liquid assists are those easily converted into cash like stocks
or bons. Most Real Estate investments take years before you can
make some money, so it is not wise to tie up all your assets in
this type of investment. Your financial situation will determine
how much you can wisely invest in properties.
There is a difference between a land speculator and an investor.
A speculator buys land with the intention to make a quick sale
and fast profits and will not hold land for a long period of
time. An investor, on the other hand, looks for a long time gain,
and usually buys only what he can afford to keep for an
indefinite period of time.
If you are new at this field, it is wise to refrain from any a
speculation until you become more informed, and you will have to
devote considerable time to study and research. It is wise also
to consult specialists before you act.
Without realizing it, you already made a very successful
investment in Real Estate if you bought your own home.
Before you look for areas to invest, consider the condition of
your own house. If you have any plan for selling it, good
landscaping has been known to considerably increase the value of
a home.
Large profits can be attained by purchasing run-down homes and
restoring them for eventual selling, but some factors have to be
considered:
* You must know something about architecture and remodeling and
get and idea of how much it will cost to get the house back into
shape. Consider what you will be able to do yourself and what it
will cost you if you have to have it done.
* The location of the house is the most important factor to
consider. Study the neighborhood, shopping, and transportation
facilities.
It can also be profitable to lease land for commercial use. Land
which borders highway is extremely valuable for purpose such as
warehouse, gas station, etc.
Land development companies frequently run advertisements offering
country retreats. Be wary of these offers as they themselves make
a large profit at the time they sell you the land, so it is much
more profitable for you to buy your own.
When you buy property, buy at a price that involves a minimum
financial risk. Invest only a modest amount of your own capital,
when you sell, determine if a cash or installment sale is the
best, based on your over-all income tax status. Learn by looking
back on the mistakes made in the past and by reviewing the
opportunities you have missed.
Prepare a list of all properties available in your area and think
up the best future use of the properties. Learn to purchase land
before there is a demand. To buy land well in advance is the only
economical way at today's prices. Then hold the property until
you can resale for large profits. Don't sell all your desirable
properties and keep just lemons.
If you are willing to leave the cities, you should not have any
trouble finding inexpensive land for sale. If you discover a
tract of land appealing to you but not listed for sale, contact
the Country Register's Office and he will tell you who is the
owner. Get in touch with him and he could be willing to sell.
As a rule purchasing tracts of land within thirty miles from a
growing city is often a sound investment. Deal only with
qualified realtors. Be careful of individuals who offer quick
profits.
Before taking any action, study what has been written about the
subject. Know why you should and should not buy. Stay
conventional and don't buy white elephants. Look for hidden
defects and make the property attractive before offering it for
resale. Study local conditions and be sure it is practical.
Constantly look for bargains and quality properties with
exceptional features that will make the sale easier. Follow up on
For Sale signs, make inquiries.
When discouraging elements occur, minimize your losses by
whatever means available. Don't throw away money on repairs for
poorly located property or in an area of surplus rental units.
Before you attempt to sell, find out how the prospect can use the
property profitably. Ask yourself if you would purchase it if you
were in the prospect's shoes. Ask yourself if the future use will
fit any of the many types of specific businesses. Can a hospital,
a bank, an apartment complex, condominium or professional
building be located on the property.
Learn to analyze the pros and cons of a real estate problem.
Break it down into its various elements. Know if the answers you
come up with are satisfactory and practical. Try different
approaches to the problem.
You are necessary looking for the "top" or "bottom" of the
market, or the current economic situation. You are looking for a
variety of properties which have a higher value dependent on the
use that can be established for them.
There are always opportunities in Real Estate during good times
and bad, but it is up to you to pick and choose only those very
best deals, especially during times when it appears that Real
Estate values and demand have reached their peak or in times when
it is practically impossible for most anyone to get bank loans
due to the tight money market or impossible interest rates.
ENJOY ALL KINDS OF VACATIONS
You can travel almost anywhere in the world and stay free in
private homes or luxury hotels. How? By one or both of the

Grants, NM 87020
METHOD 2
Become an "Outside Agent" for a travel agency, a tour guide or
co-ordinator for group tours.
Go to a large travel agency and contract with them for a free
trip (All expenses paid!) in exchange for you securing 20 to 30
people to go with you on a group tour.
How to secure others to travel with you? Primarily through your
personal, social and business contacts. Think of a place that
contacts might like to visit. You can get a special discount
group rate for them. They will save on their trip and you will
travel for free.
METHOD 3
Still again,it is possible to appoint yourself as President of
your non-profit organization and have the organization supply you
with a free vehicle will all expenses paid. If your organization
is a church related corporation, you could tour Europe for free,
to visit cathedrals, as an example. A church can raise money by
"selling" charters, degress and other cheap papers for hundreds
of dollars.
HOW TO MAKE $20.00 FOR EVERY $1.00 INVESTED
It has been said you can lift the Rock of Gibraltar if you have a
fulcrum point and long enough lever. When we refer to "financial
leverage" we are talking about the same principle. If you buy a
business building for $100,000 with $5,000 down, this is using
leverage of 20 to 1. For a mere 1/20th of the purchase price, you
actually own and control property that is 20 times more valuable
than your cash investment.
If the income of the building is only sufficient to make the
payments and expenses and you don't gain any cash flow, you are
still getting the building paid for and perhaps in 5 years or so,
with continuing inflation, you can sell the building for
$200,000... a gain of $95,000 on a $5,000 investment. This is the
potential result of proper use of leverage.
A good rule to follow in applying leverage, relevant to any
business venture for that matter, is always provide a reserve.
Hold back some cash for emergencies. Hold back additional capital
so if you go under you will have a nest egg to start a new
venture.
Sometimes when things go sour and there is no way out it is
better to take the least loss possible, save what you can and get
out...NOW! Use the remainder to again find financing, margin
leases, mortgages, franchises and all the other manners of using
money belonging to others for both their profits and yours.
Selling your property for cash then leasing back on a long term
lease is an other form of leverage. If you sell for one million
dollars cash and lease back at $10,000 per month, you have
generated tremendous leverage. You now have $1,000,000 each with
10% down for each property, you now control 10 millions dollars
worth of income producing properties. Sometimes it is possible to
use options to hold property, with very little cash down, until
you can obtain title and take possession. This can produce
fantastic leverage if planned property.
Going public is an other method used to gain leverage by using
other people's money. You receive money from the public for
shares of your corporate stock and at the same time establish a
market value for your unissued stock.
Before you apply leverage on any proposition, be sure know just
what your are doing. There must be a continuous favorable cash
flow to service your debt, pay all your costs and expenses and
give you a reasonable profit. If weakness occurs in any one or
several of your business entities, it could drag down your entire
organization.
2. IN FRANCHISES
Franchising your business operation packet is another form of
leverage. You are selling others your know-how and the right to
use your system and/or product for a price, either a share of the
profits, a bulk payment or a combination of both.
It is not as simple as it used to be to become a franchiser, due
to controls and red tape established by the various state and
governmental agencies. In some states it is just about impossible
for the layman to proceed to wade through all the red tape
required to satisfy the laws. However, if it were easy to do, it
probably would not be profitable anyway.
When you have met all the requirements of the various agencies,
you will have an operating manual and pro-forma accounting
statement...You will have developed a turn-key package for your
franchise offering
To get started right get revised statutes of the state from the
Secretary of State and study the requirements for establishing
and selling franchises.
As your franchises become better known and after you have a few
locations, instead of selling one franchise at a time, offer area
franchise to "master" franchise holders. Get a portion of the
set-up charges for each area plus a continuing percentage of
gross business from each operating unit.
3 IN THE STOCK MARKET
*BONDS
You can earn interest on non-existent money and buy bonds on a
regular basis without ever paying for any of them except the
first five bonds. You will need $500 in cash and a brokerage
account in both the U.S. and Canada. Open an account with a
canadian brokerage House and deposit a &500 check with them. On
the same day, before your check clears, open a brokerage account
in your home town. This one may be opened without any money.
You buy new issue bonds through your American Broker and state
that they MUST be delivered to your Canadian Broker for payment.
The very day that you purchase the bonds, you will start drawing
interest. It will take 5 or 6 weeks for the bonds to be
delivered, and all the time you will be earning interest.
With this plan, you can space your order so that you can have
$1000,000 or more in bonds on order. and when they arrive at your
Canadian Broker, it works like this:
The Broker accept the first five bonds of $1,000 each and place
them in your account. When the second $5,000 worth arrives, (you
must always order in $5,000 units), he then sells the first bonds
to pay for the third, etc...
The results are BIG profits for non-cash existing money. You can
actually earn up to 80% interest on money you don't even have.
Often the new bonds will have an increase in resale value to add
to the interest earned. Thus a $5,000 bond at 8% interest rate
that takes 60 days to deliver would earn $67.00 interest. If they
go up in value, you may pick up an additional $200 to $500 or
even more when they are sold.
* PENNY STOCK
Periodically a great deal of money has been made dealing in Penny
Stock but it is highly speculative and is perhaps once in a
lifetime that one is able to hit it right to cash in with a
spectacularly high yield.
To take some of the speculation out of it, many investors
purchase only 100 shares or so, of a number of different
company's stock. In this way they may only $50 to $100 invested
in each of 40 to 50 firms. This is one of the best ways to go
when getting acquainted with this kind of investment.
The stock of one of the Nation's larger firms, which now has
outlets in about every city in the United States, was selling at
60 cents a share in 1963. 100 shares at that time for a total of
$60 is now valued at over $75,000!
$9,000 invested in 1948 in stock of what was then a small timber
firm, was worth over $1,000,000 a few years ago, and in addition
would have proceed average dividends over the years sufficient to
equal a top salary each year. A person who invested at that time
would have been able to "goof off" from that time forward,
receive more money than working for a living and still have over
a million dollars in the bank or for other investments.
There are various newsletters covering low priced stock. One
should subscribe to several and analyse the information before
investing.
THE $100.00 A DAY PLAN
Insert the following ad in classified sections of local papers,
mail to magazines, etc...it's a quick dollar-pulling ad:
"Make $ 100 a day! How would you like to receive 100 letters a
day, each containing a $1.00? It's easy. Will send you this plan
with directions plus six-money making formulas for only $1.00.
(Your name and address).
The six formulas:
*EYEGLASS CLEANER-

up in 1/2 oz bottles to sell for 25 cents to 50 cents each.

feet only.
THE $500.00 A MONTH PLAN
One way to make extra money or start a business of your own is by
placing advertising which will pay a good profit. Selling printed
information by mail can be financially rewarding. Classified
advertising is the cheapest way to get into Mail Order and it is
often possible to raise a fortune from these small ads. Just
check any large publication such as Popular Mechanics, for their
classified advertising section and you can see yourself the many
ads.
These small ads, running month after month would not be there if
they were not profitable and making money. according to some of
the promotional material being sent around the country, you could
make up to $500.00 or possibly more by running the following
classified ads over your name and address. They ask you to pick
up a top national publication and test either one or both under
"Money-Making Opportunities" headings and watch the dollars come
in. I did not run any of these ads myself but was told they
really are both profitable. Here are the programs and the
advertisements:
"How would you like to receive $25 daily and keep all the money?
For complete set-up rush $1 to (Your name and address)"
" $500 monthly, work at home, receive money daily. For complete
set-up send $1 to (Your name and address here)"
You are supposed to fill orders you receive with a copy of this
sheet you are now reading. Make photocopies or get a supply
printed to send as needed.
There are other variations of this plan, but all serve the same
purpose: to sell printed information to people who are interested
in making some extra money. (they say it is truly possible to
make money with this plan).
If you study the many classified ads in the big national
publications, you may get a better idea of what the leading
companies in Mail Order are doing. You will get a better idea of
how classified advertising works. if you have limited capital, it
would be wise to run your ads in smaller publications such as
small newspapers, small Mail Order Publications and adsheets.
If you have sufficient capital, some good pulling national
magazines or Tabloids are:
*Popular Mechanics
*Money Making Opportunities
*Salesman's Opportunities
*Specialty Salesman
*Mechanics Illustrated
*National Enquirer
And many others to numerous to mention.
many such magazines tabloids and other good publications are
available at your local news stand, library or through Mail
Order. Many of them require a copy of the material you are
selling with your ad and reserve the right not to print certain
ads they feel may be injurious to the public or the image of
their publication
Yes! You can start your own advertising and mailing business at
home and keep finances ahead of inflation but be sure you are
involved in the kind of program that gives you a reasonable
chance to be a winner!
HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR HOBBY
Millions of people all over the world collect stamps as a hobby,
and the number is growing every day.
It is indeed an exciting and rewarding hobby, and it can also be
extremely profitable.
The price of stamps vary with supply and demand due to the number
of collectors increasing. The price of stamps is steadily rising,
as the supply of stamps diminishes and more people want to
acquire them.
Most people start a collection for the pleasure and education
just like any other hobby, but this hobby offers a financial
reward as well, as collections experience a steady increase over
the years.
It is possible to start your own business if you are experienced,
and already have a good size collection. For information about
becoming a dealer, write to the
American Stamp Dealer's Association
147 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.
HOW TO START:
Some people very early in life collect stamps, it often begins as
a gift of a small package of stamps given to a child, and the
child becomes a collector for life. As the collection grows, some
tools become essential:
* Stamp album
* Hinges
* Magnifying glass and tongs
They can be obtained from a stationary store or your local stamp
dealer.
You can find albums at any price, starting from about $5.00 to
the most expensive one at about $200.00.
Stamps Should always be handled carefully, because the condition
is a very important factor to determine the price of resale
value.
The various grades of stamps are: mint, very fine, fine, good and
poor.
Specimen in outstanding condition often sell at many times their
catalog value, which is the reason not to mishandle any stamp,
which could drastically reduce their value.
If you want to know if you have valuable stamps in your
collection and are really serious about persuing this hobby, you
can buy the Scot's Standard Postage Stamp catalog which lists
every stamp in the world. This is a three volume encyclopedia and
is the complete reference. You can also consult it at your local
library if you don't want to go into the expense for the time
being.
To start your collection, ask everybody you know to save you
stamps they get from different countries, also go through old
letters and small boxes hidden in your attic, chances are that
you will be surprised to see how much you can find. Other cheap
sources of supply are flea markets and garage sales. Start
swapping when you have doubles. There are many philatelic clubs
all over the country and it would be very advisable for a serious
collector to belong to one. This way you will become educated in
this field and learn everything you can before you spend money on
your collection. Stamp clubs also provide their members with
possibilities to exchange and sell your stamps.
You should also read as much as you can about stamps by
subscribing to a philatelic magazine.
WHERE TO SELL YOUR STAMPS:
Stamps are like any other commodity, you can always go to a
dealer who will offer you the current wholesale value of your
stamps, but you can do much better by selling to other stamp
collectors by advertising in magazines and newspapers specialized
in stamp collecting.
Check several current issues of those magazines, it will enable
you to compare the ads with what you have to offer.
If you want to buy stamps as an investment, try to buy few
moderately expensive stamps a year. Always buy quality instead of
quantity, and diversify, do not invest heavily in a single area.
It is our opinion that stamp collecting is one of the best
ways--and safest--to keep up with inflation.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR CAMERA
Several millions homes nowadays have some kind of photography
equipment. Some operators are strictly amateurs but others do a
professional job shooting for fun, even with very inexpensive
equipment.
If you own a camera and can take some reasonably good pictures,
you definitely can make money with your hobby by selling
pictures.
The market for pictures is tremendous. It has been estimated that
magazines and newspapers buy over 60 millions photos a year,
although most of the pictures are taken by professional
photographers, there is a good deal of non professional hobbyists
making a good extra income selling their pictures to specialized
markets, little known by the majority of people.
This information is intended to help you find a market for your
pictures, assuming you already take pictures good enough to be
sold. If you feel that your work could be improved, there are a
number of courses available, and you can also develop
professional touch and technical know-how by simply subscribing
to specialized magazines.
There is an incredible amount of markets for selling your
pictures, and the number is growing every day.
The beginners should avoid markets already overcrowded by
professional competitors, like very well known magazines, which
obviously deal only with professionals.
The best markets for a non professionals are
* Trade journals,
* Special interest magazines,
* Real Estate,
* Small local papers.
By consuming a great amount of pictures, maintaining a constant
demand for new ones, and paying less than well known magazines,
they avoid the competition of professional and industrial
photographers, and buy mostly from non professionals like
yourself.
Special interest magazines attract very special groups of
readers. For example, magazines on hobbies, sports, gardening,
etc...They are bought by subscriptions or on newstands.
Trade journals are directed at very special professional and
Trades. They generally sold only by subscription.
To begin with, it would be advisable for you to get a book on
professional photography from your local library. This step will
enable you to get acquainted with copyright laws and special tips
for selling your pictures.
The starting photographer should concentrate on subject he is
familiar with, for example a special hobby and what he enjoys
shooting the most, whether it is sceneries, children, animals,
etc...
By finding out what is your speciality, you will be able to
select your market and determine what magazines could be
interested in your work.
The following guide is just a sample of companies in the market
for photos. It is difficult to keep such a directory current as
companies constantly change their policies, addresses, editors
and so forth. It is up to you to develop your own markets by
submitting photos you believe to be appropriate to editor's
needs. After the addresses are listed the rates paid more for
extraordinary subjects depending of the news value and the
quality for the accepted photo.

A simple equipment should produce pictures good enough to sell,
but of course, if you own special accessories, use them!
After you have selected the field you want to specialize in and
found several magazines related to your speciality, study what
kind of pictures the editors are buying. A general description of
picture requirements is often listed in the magazines. You can
also find out by looking at the pictures used in previous issues.
Submit only the pictures you consider as good or better than the
ones being used.
Send your pictures to the Picture Editor of the magazine by
finding the address in the publication itself or in the Directory
of Trade Journals at your local library, if the publication is
not sold on newstands.
If you are a beginner, start offering standard black and white
prints, which are easier to sell because they actually are the
ones having the greatest market.
Here is how your prints should be prepared in order to sell them:
* Glossy paper is preferred. Single weight paper via cheaper and
require less postage when mailed. Pictures must be flat.
* Most publication (But not all of them) Prefer 8"x10". Check the
specific requirements of the publication before you prepare your
photos for sell.
* Number each negative, so each print you make will have a
number.
* Order a rubber stamp with your name, address, telephone number
and an extra line for the number of the picture and stamp these
informations on the back of the print you want to offer.
* Always use stiff cardboard between the prints you are mailing
to protect them, and make a neat package.
* Use kraft envelopes and always write "please don't bend" with a
red felt on the envelope to avoid any improper handling of your
pictures.
* As you cannot expect to sell all the pictures you submit,
include a self-addressed return envelope with enough postage, so
the ones rejected can be mailed back to you.
* It is not necessary to send a letter with the pictures as it
will not help to sell the pictures.
* Make sure to obtain written consent from anyone whose picture
you have taken and intend to sell. You can obtain the standard
forms called "Model Release" in many photo shops, and when you
send your picture to the editor, enclose a copy of the release
with them.
Do not offer the same picture to more than one publication at the
same time, but if your pictures are rejected by one magazine send
them to other publications.
Many amateurs are making money in this little known field. You
will be able to do the same by following the simple advices
outlined in this report.
HOW TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY WITHOUT RISK
There are a number of ways to acquire property without risk. We
list a number of the most important:
* Restrict the size of the investment and the amount of
indebtedness.
* Sell at a profit a part of what you have purchased.
* Buy only such property as you are willing and able to hold for
an indefinite period.
* Make an estimate of gain or loss probabilities before you buy.
* Withstand all pressure of people who try to induce you to sell
at a loss.
* Increase desirability of the property before you sell.
* Observe the effects of local improvements, movements and
activity. Develop ability to buy Real Estate with the greatest
potential for the future. The successful buyers of Real Estate
have a good knowledge of facts and laws, learned under a great
variety of circumstances. They realize the importance of making
investigations. They know economics and business conditions
locally and nationally. They study trends, growth areas and
property utilization. They have a correct idea of their own
personal finance limitations. They have a high degree of
interest, judgement and imagination.
* Adaptability, fortitude and a high degree of resourcefulness
are other attributes to successful Real Estate investing. Desire
for ownership and not being adverse to going into debt are very
important.
* If a property appears to be greatly under priced never quibble
over price. List all the significant advantages and disadvantages
of each property. There should be some reasonably outstanding
features that will generate enthusiasm. Decide to buy on the
merits of the property, not because someone is suggestive. If you
lose a good deal, a better one will come along. Resist
speculation fervor.
* If you are buying a property to hold for a long time, compute
the taxes, interest, insurance, etc. You will have to pay while
it is in your possession.
* Realize that when the market is good and the price is rising
you can always buy, but when the market is going down it is
difficult to sell. Don't sell too quickly and do not over-extend
yourself.
* Realize that increasing value of improved (homes buildings,
etc) result mainly from increasing population.
* if you are interested in making money investing in REal Estate
foreclosures, the best way to succeed is to develop a financial
plan based on your tax bracket so that you will know when to sell
off which properties and when to keep them for future increase in
value. You will need to recognize when there is "concealed"
equity in a property which is not visible to other investors.
Look for homes from 5 to 20 years old with potential net profits
of no less than $4,000 when you convert them.
* Know the laws in your state pertaining to the foreclosure
process. Look over all the small print in contracts. Most of them
favor the seller. If you are the buyer, have the contract changed
to fit your requirements.
* Be careful at auctions so that you don't get carried away with
the bidding; determine in advance the top you will go and stay
with it.
* Strive to locate and purchasee distressed property before
foreclosure proceedings start and you can generally assume
conventional loans under the same circumstances as presently
exist.
* When you have purchased the property in a slow Real Estate
market, it is easier to sell since you have probably acquired it
at several thousands below the current market value.
* It can be good policy some of your property and keep some. For
example, if you can sell one-half of the property and get mos of
your money back, you will be able to retain the balance for
future enhancement and use the proceeds of that portion sold to
speculate in other properties.
* Speculation is not all profit. As time goes by taxes and
assessments increase; some properties may have to be sold to pay
for such increases.
* The greatest deterrent to a person buying Real Estate is the
fear of making a mistake. Of course a person can't afford to make
many mistakes in Real Estate speculation just as in any other
kind of business.
* During a period of inflation, land is the best investment.
During a recession or depression, land is the worst investment.
If a recession appears imminent sell, even if on a contract for
a reasonable dow payment and monthly payment on the balance. You
will have an income and also have the property as collateral. You
can be sure that as long as general economic conditions are
good, the value of well selected Real Estate will increase.
* Populations increase by birth rate and by influx. Check to
determine the past circumstances of the local economy, the demand
for public services and the future growth potential. The fact
that a city has increased in population is not significant in
itself. Perhaps there has been an annexation of adjacent areas.
Yes! By comparing, learning and using good common sense you can
profit in Real Estate regardless of recession, depression,
interest rates, or inflation!...And without excessive risk!
YOU CAN WIN OIL LEASES FORM THE GOVERNMENT
The public faces a barrage of newspapers, telephone and direct
mail advertisements promising quick wealth and fortune through
"too good to be true" opportunities.
Perhaps you have been among those invited to take advantage of
such opportunity by entering a drawing for oil gas leases on
federal lands. The ad says: write for details or send a check to
cover the cost of filing fee and other services, and have your
name entered in the drawing.
It is really possible to strike it rich? How slim are the odds
and what are the risks?
The purpose of this report is to acquaint you with the relit and
procedures involved regarding oil and gas leasing form the
Government.
TYPES OF LEASES
Lands that are not within any known geologic structure of a
producing oil and gas field, commonly known as "wildcat" lands,
are subject to leasing to the first qualified person making
application for a lease. Such lease is termed non competitive
since the applicant is entitled to the lease without competiting
bidding.
LOCATION OF TRACTS
Many tracts offered for non competitive leasing are in the
Western States where most of the public land is located. These
are the states of Alaska, California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Occasionally, a
few tracts in Washington and Oregon are offered.
Tracts in the Midwest and East are also put up for non
competitive leasing. The tracts are primary in Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Ohio.
HOW THE DRAWINGS WORK
Each State Office of the Bureau of Land Management prepares and
posts a list of lands within its jurisdiction that are available
for releasing. These tracts range in size form 40 acres up to a
maximum of 10,240 acres. These list a may be viewed in the State
Offices or obtained from the State Offices by mail for a small
charge, usually $5 to $10 per list.
If any lands are available for releasing, the Bureau of Land
Management State Office posts its list on the first day of
business for the months of February, April, June, August,
October, and December. Applications are accepted until the close
of business on the 15th working day after the list is posted. If
more than one application is received for a given tract, a
drawing is held to decide who will get the lease. All application
for simultaneous oil and gas leases must be submitted to the
Wyoming State Office, which maintains a central computerized
system.
QUALIFICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Federal oil and gas leases may be obtained and held by any
citizen of the United States; however, no lease may be acquired
by a minor, but it may be issued to a legal guardian or trustee
in behalf of the minor. Associations of citizens and corporations
under the laws of the United States or of the State also qualify.
Aliens amy not hold any interest in leases. They may, however,
own or control stock in a corporation holding leases, if the laws
of their country do not deny similar privileges to citizens of
the United States.
No person, association, or corporation may hold, own or control
oil and gas leases for than 246,080 acres in any one State.
HOW TO FILE
Applications may be filed on any of the parcels shown on the list
posted in the BLM State Office. The parcel applied for must be
identified by the number shown on the list.
Each offer to lease must be submitted on a official Automated
Simultaneous Oil and Gas Lease Application (forms 3112-6), The
applications must be fully completed and personally signed in ink
by the applicant, or anyone authorized to sign on behalf of the
applicant, during the filing period.
Each part B application form must be accompanied by a non
refundable $75 filing fee for each parcel, and the first year's
rental of $1 per acre or fraction thereof.
Each applicant must contain the actual business or residential
address of the applicant. Addresses of third parties filing on
behalf of the applicant are not permitted.
An applicant may file, or have an interest in, only one
application for any one parcel; however, an applicant may file,
or have an interest in, one application each for as many
different parcels as he or she wishes.
THE DRAWING
After the close of the filing period on the 25th working day
after the list is posted, a computer-generated random selection
is conducted at the Wyoming State Office. Because of the heavy
volume of applicants that must be processed, selection does not
occur until the following month.
One applicant is randomly selected for each numbered parcel. If
the applicant selected is unacceptable or rejected, a reselection
will be made by computer from the remaining applications. Each
applicant is notified of the results of his application in the
random selection. The advance rental will be refunded to
nonwinners.
CHOOSING A PARCEL
It should be remembered that these lands have been leased
previously and are not known to contain deposits of oil or gas.
Neither the Bureau of Land Management nor any other Federal
agency can make any recommendation concerning the potential value
of any parcel offered for non competitive leasing.
Most applicants use a "Filing Service" to select parcels. Some
service charge a fee to evaluate parcels on the basis of
geological and marketing data; others offer maps and information
about the activities of oil companies operating in the area where
the various parcels are located. A third type of filing service
charges a fee for selecting a parcel from the list posted by the
Bureau and assisting the applicant in filing application.
Neither BLM, nor any other Federal agency, endorses any filing
service. None are in any way with the Federal Government.
Be wary of filing services that paint an overly optimistic
picture of your chances of winning and making money. Consider
these firms may file for hundreds and even thousands of clients
on a limited number of parcels, and the more interest these firms
can generate in drawings, the more applications will be filed on
each parcel, and the less chance each individual will have of
obtaining a lease.
The names of firms or individuals that specialize as filing
services may be located through business or professional
associations, through oil and gas trade publications or chambers
of commerce. They sometimes are listed under the heading "Federal
Leasing Services" in the yellow pages of telephone directories.
Anyone considering the use of a filing services should carefully
examine what services are offered and how big
a premium is being charged beyond the required $75 filing fee and
the advance rental that must be paid to BLM for each filing.
Possible source of information on a filing service are the Better
Business Bureau in the area where the firm is located and the
State, county or local consumer protection agency.
LEASE TERM AND CONDITIONS
The lease grants the lessee the right to explore and drill for,
extract, remove and dispose of oil and gas deposits, except
helium, that may be found in leased lands. Such leases are issued
for a period of 10 years and so long thereafter as oil and gas
are produced in paying quantities. The lessee cannot build a
house on the land, cultivate the land, or remove any minerals
other than oil and gas from the leased land.
Before any drilling operation can commence, the lessee or his
operator must fournish a bond to assure compliance with all the
lease terms, including protection of the environment.
WHAT IS THE LEASE WORTH
The value of oil and gas leases varies greatly. None of the
tracts offered has known potential for oil and gas production. In
certain cases, non competitive leases have brought substantial
profit to the winners. Generally, however, these leases average
only a few dollars per acre if resold.
SELLING OR ASSIGNING A LEASE
Many people who acquire an oil and gas lease through the leasing
system do not intend to drill for oil or gas. Often the motive
for entering the drawing is to sell the lease to an oil company
for a profit.
If the lease is located in an area which may be attractive to
industry, interested buyers may make an offer.
A willing buyer may offer a lump sum for a lease. In some cases,
the original lessee can negotiate to retain a royalty interest in
any future production from the lease.
CAUTION
Any person who considers entering the oil and has drawing should
keep certain facts in mind:
* The land offered for leasing was formerly included in oil and
gas leases that expired, terminated, or were relinquished or
canceled.
* The land involved is not recognized as being within a know
geological structure of a producing oil or gas field.
* Your offer to lease is strictly a gamble. Since a very
large percentage of the tracts won are never drilled on, your
parcel may not have any potential for oil and gas even if you win
the drawing.
* the more desirable parcels may attract hundreds, even thousands
of applications.
WHAT TO DO NEXT TO PARTICIPATE
After carefully reading this report, if you wish to participate
in the drawings of your own, here is how to proceed:
Select the geographical area that interest
Locate the BLM State Office that is responsible for the area you
have selected. Write that state for information. The State Office
will send you application forms and tell you how much it will
cost you to receive by mail the list from which you must select
your tracts for the drawing.
DIAL 1- 900 FOR-PROFITS
Would you like to start a business in which you don't have to make anything and your product is information, but can earn profits of more than 95 percent? Of course you would. Such a business does exist and is predicted to be a 20 billion dollar a year industry by the year 2000.
New technology in the telecommunication industry, now offers hundreds of ways that entrepreneurs can make huge profits operating a "Pay-Per-Call" business. This business will make hundreds of fast-track entrepreneurs rich during the 1990's. Why not you?
Several Information Providers (nicknamed "IP's" in industry circles) are now grossing between $5,000 and $50,000 a month by providing information on a pay-per-call basis. For a very select group of IP's, monthly income exceeds $100,000. And for a few (mostly in the provocative sexually explicit field) monthly income has reached upwards to half a million dollars!
This very hot new business opportunity is, the fastest growing, most exciting, money-making opportunity of the 90's.
This business is the 900-number telephone information service. In this business, unlike toll-free 800 numbers, every time someone calls your 900 number, a charge appears on his phone bill, and you make a profit. The caller pays for the information or service he receives via his phone and the phone company acts as your collection agency.
The per-minute charge makes this business interesting and profitable. Charges range from as low as 50 cents to as high as $50 per minute; during his lunch hour, a stockbroker in New York charges $50 per minute to give hot stock tips to 900 number callers.
You may already be familiar with some types of 900 number services; sport updates, weather and traffic updates, romance and dating lines, and so forth. However, these common services only scratch the surface of the fascinating information you can provide through a 900-number program. Consider these two successes: Surf line and Alaska Men's Magazine. The former is a local Malibu, California-area, number that provides instant updates on surfing conditions. Surfing fans, who live for that perfect wave, often call this number several times a day and spend about $1 a minute for the privilege.
Alaska Men's Magazine's 900 number sells information about eligible bachelors who live in Alaska. It is an instant personal/mate wanted advertising service. It is successful because few women live in Alaska, so many Alaskan men are looking for spouses, and many women in the lower forty-eight states are looking for husbands.
America's Funniest Home Videos invited the nation to help select the winner of the $100,000 grand prize for the funniest american home video. One annoucement made by the host, Bob Saggett (lasting approximately five minutes), resulted in another $250,000 program grossing, by my calculations very nearly enough to pay the the $100,000 grand prize. This next example is the cream of the crop.
The Wheel Of Fortune ran a 21 day program. Each week Pat Sajack invited callers to call and play Wheel Of Fortune. The cost of the call was $2.00 per minute. Through the course of 21 days The Wheel Of Fortune received 4.7 million calls.
That's 4.7 million calls, not minutes. The average number of minutes each caller was on the line was five minutes and the average cost of a call was $10.
Forty-Seven Million dollars was grossed in less than 30 days.
This is only a small sampling of the many uses a 900 line can be used for
Dozens of categories for 900-number services exist, but they boil down to four basic concepts: romance, financial, maintenance, and entertainment.
"Romance" line- that is, true confession, dating, and similar topics--now earn about 80 percent of all industry revenues. However, like the video industry, that situation is changing rapidly as the business becomes more professional and offers stronger concepts to consumers.
"Financial" appeals to people's urges to make money, save money: stock and bond price lines, sports updates for gamblers, and horse racing lines.
"Maintenance" refers to technical support lines. A computer operator, for example, must call a technical support number because they are having problems with either there software or hardware.
"Entertainment" refers to everything else, mostly for recreational purposes: miscellaneous products and services,soap opera updates, rock stars, and contest.
FIVE SERVICE METHODS
To satisfy these four basic concepts, you can offer one of the five methods which your target market can call:
* Interactive auditext--pre-recorded messages responds to caller's choice.
* Live audio: an operator or group discussion interacts with a caller. Obviously, this is more expensive for you to operate than pre-recorded messages.
* Interactive video: a caller's personal computer retrieves text and graphics from an on-line data base.
* Facsimile: sends pre-stored faxes of printed information in response to caller request. News reports, stock reports and so forth can be made available through pre-programmed computerized fax services.
* Messaging: callers leave recorded messages, such as their name, address, product specifications, order information, etc.
TWO TYPES OF SERVICE
Once you choose a method that suits your concept, you have to decide whether to market it locally or nationally. A national line uses a 900 number offered through one of four national common carriers. Telesphere Information Services 900, AT&T, Sprint Gateways, and MCI. Or, if you want to start locally, you can contract with your local telephone company for a local or regional 976 line.
T. Harv Eker, a young California entrepreneur known as the "Biz Opp Wiz," said in a recent report on 900-number service business, " I recommend that a small " infopreneur" start with a local 976 number to learn the ins and outs of this risky business. You can study your target market and test your advertising and your service idea for far less than it costs to start a 900 service."
Experts show that eight or nine out of every ten 900 services fail. However, if your concept hits big, you can make phenomenal profits. And you can reduce your risk by following the experts' advice about how to choose and market the best idea.
Russ Blackwell, an executive with Microlog Corp., a major 900 service bureau explains, " In 90 percent of the lines, call volumes do not reach anticipated levels. The services may still make money, but they often do not make as much as the infopreneurs expected."
The reasons this occurs are numerous.
First, people's profits fall short of their expectations because they got overly excited about this business and forecast profits far higher than any they should reasonably expect.
Second, people try to sell bad ideas. For example, Blackwell says, "One service tried to sell insurance to the elderly. It was a legitimate application, but hardly anyone called because senior citizens rarely use 900 numbers. They think it has a stigma, and they prefer to make toll-free calls.
Instead, Blackwell asserts, the largest target market research young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five--in short, impulse buyers.
Other seemingly good 900 information ideas that flopped include quilting information and gardening information. Why did these ideas fail? They did not meet the essential criteria that experts have learned make a 900 number successful.
1. PERCEIVED VALUE: People must believe they receive a high value from the information. They must think that the information is worth the price of 95 cents a minute, $25 a call, or whatever the service charges. If people can get the information for free or cheaper elsewhere, they will not use
your service.
Jim Coffee, General Manager of Audio Communications, Inc. (ACI), insists, "You must carefully identify your target customer and offer very significant value." By target customer, he means you must analyze the demographics and buying habits of your potential callers.
He adds, "The success of your program depends on two elements: first, your content, which is measured by the average hold time (AHT); and second, the quality of your marketing or your advertising measured by the number of "connects" or calls.
AHT means that your callers are willing to stay on the line and listen to the entire message or to interact with the program or the operator. Your content must encourage them to stay on the line and increase their charges.
2. IMMEDIATE VALUE: Futhermore, your callers must perceive that they need the information you offer right now--IMMEDIATELY. This factor is why Surf Line succeeds--surfers want to hit the perfect wave right now-- and Quilt Line failed--quilters can mosey over to the library and lock up the right stitch when they feel like it.
3. REPEAT CALLS: Once your callers reach your information service, they must call back again and again. Your content must repeatedly satisfy a continuing need. Stock prices change every day, the weather changes every hour, traffic conditions change often during rush hours, people often want to make contact with potential dates. Repeat calls make or break this business.
Eker notes that your 900 service must also make the information convenient and easy to reach. It must be far more convenient than any other method or medium. A caller should only push a few buttons to reach the desired information, or go only through one operator.
SECRETS OF STARTING UP
Your first task is to think of a concept that meets these criteria. Second, you must identify an easily reached target market. Eker advises that you start with a tried-and-true category at the local level. This could include sports line or "conditions" line-local beach, skiing, vacation, traffic, or similar line that affects people's leisure or driving time.
Most important, you must develop a highly targeted marketing plan to reach you audience. To do this, find out from your local media--newspapers, radio, TV, cable, magazines, etc.--about their audiences. Then, select the media and develop advertising that will reach your audience.
As one example, a traffic line will be most popular in the mornings and afternoons during prime drive times, so a local radio advertisement targeted at young workers who listen to a rock station may make sense. Unfortunately, in the radio business, "drive time is prime time," and you pay higher rates. You could explore placing some less expensive radio ads just before prime drive times begins (about 7 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m. in most markets) to reduce your costs. You should blend a series of ads, some before, some during, and some after drive time to reach the greatest number of people.
On the other hand, Eker says, sharing a little known secret, "The best place to advertise a 900-number services may be your local cable TV channels. Although most people don't know this, you can buy local cable TV ads placed on national cable channels very, very inexpensively--as low as $1 per minute for local broadcast TV. Each local Tv company receives two minutes per hour for local advertising on each channel. So, for example, you could advertise a Sports Line on ESPN, WTBS, TNT, WOR, or WGN and reach almost all the sports fanatics in your area. And do so for as low as $12,000 a year.
In short, you must thoroughly, search for the best marketing alternatives and have the available financial resources to buy advertising.
Once you think you have a terrific, saleable idea, getting started in this business is very simple. Although you could buy your own equipment to hook up to the common carriers, that equipment can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Instead, use what is called a service bureau.
A service bureau handles all of the operational details. You simple pay its start-up charges and on-going fees and make your information available. You either provide cassette tapes or call in to change the information as you need to do so. It takes as few as two or three days to get your service on line.
Or, in an interesting variation, you can work with another information provider (IP) in a joint venture to sell a service that the other often larger IP cannot do. Many major newspapers and magazines are using joint ventures and partnerships to establish line services. In this case, you may receive a percentage of the profits, usually 25 percent, a royalty, or a continuing fee.
Coffee's ACI and other service bureaus that double as information providers also offer joint ventures and partnerships. If you don't have the money to carry a marketing program, this may be a good way to go and reduce your start-up costs, yet lets you get started in this lucrative opportunity.
Another secret to this business, says Eker, is that you must be prepared to cut your losses--FAST. You should also plan a to test a range of program concepts through various media. This business works like the direct mail and catalog business. You must test your services, prices, and advertising again and again to find the right formula. When you hit it big, you then should run with the winning combination. But if an ad doesn't draw many callers, or even if the call volumes are just not high enough to make the profit you want, discontinue the service quickly and try something else. Or better, have another services already underway.
PROFIT POTENTIAL
When you hit, you can make amazing high profits. On average, 900 numbers charge $1 for the first minute and 75 cents for additional minutes. The average call lasts three to five minutes, so your revenues per call average $2.50 to $4. If you invest $40,000 you only need 10,000 to 16,000 calls to break even.
Your cost on each call will equal $1.50, giving you a profit margin of about 40 percent per call before you deduct your overhead, operating costs, and taxes.
Here is what a typical month's revenues, expenses, and resulting profit might look like:
Monthly Revenues: $100,000 (25,000 calls at $4 per call)
Fees to the Carrier: $40,000 (average 40% of gross)
Fees to service: $3,000
Marketing: $40,000
Overhead: $10,000
Total expenses: $93,000
Monthly profit: $7,000
If you invest $60,000 in the total start-up, your return on your investment per month would equal 11.7 percent. More likely, Eker notes, a national start-up that would generate $100,000 per month in revenues would realize 8 to 13 percent per month. "The goal is to realize between $1.08 and $1.13 for every $1 you invest," he notes.
