Secrets of Success With Chain Letters (NOT!)
SECRETS OF SUCCESS WITH CHAIN LETTERS
Chain letter programs will not make you rich! All those claims
about the sender pulling in $20,000 the first time around; $80,000
the second time; and $180,000 the third time; are just outright
lies!
It's best not to get involved in ANY kind of chain letter scheme
because they are ALL illegal, and sooner or later, the postal
authorities will close you down. If they find that you are, or have
been a willing participant, you could be fined, imprisoned, or face
a penalty of both as punishment.
Don't get involved! Chain letters do not, and will not solve any of
your money problems. Anyone, and everyone, with any experience in
direct mail - and a sense of integrity or pride in their business -
will either quickly toss your letter into the trash or else send it
on to the postal inspectors for action on their part.
Probably the biggest reason why chain letters don't work, is the
continuing efforts of reputable mail order dealers in snuffing out
these schemes. Any money actually made or collected by a chain
letter is pocketed by the perpetrators. Sometimes the person
starting, and promoting a chain letter is able to pull in a hundred
dollars or so before the postal authorities "nail" him -but getting
in as the "third name" on the list has never brought in more than $5
or $10 total - even after such participants have gone to the work
and expense of sending out 1,000 letters. Chain letters do nothing
except cost you money!
However, many people are foolhardy enough to "try anything once,"
chain letter schemes being no exception. So if you're one of these
people, and you think that by offering some sort of product, you can
get around the postal authorities, listen:
Do NOT mail your chain letter to any established business.
Especially, do NOT mail to any "known" mail order dealers. Instead,
take your phone book and pick out every tenth name or so, front to
back, and send your letters to these people. An even better way
would be to pull the names from a city directory - available at your
public library - and concentrate on people living in the less
affluent section of town.
Generally speaking, these people are more "money-hungry," less
educated and completely naive to the "truths of mail order." These
will be the people "most-likely" to take you up on anything with
chain letter connotations.
When you receive a chain letter opportunity in the mail, check the
names and addresses against those you already have on file, and then
discard it. Do NOT get involved in or perpetuate incoming chain
letters!
IMPORTANT: Should you receive a chain letter purporting to sell
books or money-making reports, do as advised in the paragraph above.
Whenever you get a chain letter suggesting the names of companies
selling mailing lists, turn it over to your local postmaster. The
only time you would ever want to rent or buy names from those
companies listed in a chain letter, would be when you already have
"tons of money" and you're doing research to determine how many
nixies you can accumulate from any one list. Most of the mailing
lists from any of the firms I've seen listed as mailing list sources
in chain letters, run about 80-85% undeliverable, and some of the
companies listed aren't even in business anymore!
Any kind of letter, but specifically chain letters, that require you
to send money to a "printing headquarters" for so many copies of the
letter you received in order for you to get in on the "big deal,"
with your name and address imprinted is selling you printing
services! They don't care whether you ever make a sale, or even if
you never mail out one of the letters they're so willing to print up
for you - they make their money upfront by furnishing you with
printed paper!
What about multi-level programs by mail? Most are simply "people
pyramids." Organizations that make their profits from new member
fees. Before you get taken in, determine if YOU would like to have
the product they're offering - if YOU want it, send for it. And
before you start sending out letters to recruit new members, do some
common sense market research - what's the real value of the product;
how many people will stand in line to buy it; and how much of your
time and money is it going to cost you in order to make a hundred
dollars a week in clear profits...
Success with anything is simply a matter of having something
DIFFERENT that APPEALS to the WANTS and/or DESIRES of the greatest
number of consumers possible - TARGETING your sales efforts to reach
the people wanting it badly enough to STAND IN LINE TO BUY IT - and
then, make it as PAINLESS as possible for them to achieve
SATISFACTION by purchasing that particular item that fulfills THEIR
NEEDS from YOU!
No apologies are made if you were mislead by the title of this
report or that you paid $2 for the information. Anybody who is
serious about making money in mail order should know that chain
letters are not the way to go.
Within this report, you got the answers to lots of your questions,
and enough to know that the reputable people in mail order soon
learn to stay away from chain letters - Good luck in all your
money-making ventures outside of chain letters!
