How To Make Money With Your Junk Mail

The term "junk mail" is a well-known term. To the common guy or gal on the

street, "junk mail" to them is advertising flyers from the local grocery

store and pizza shop that arrive in their mail every day. To the mail order

dealer, it means something totally opposite because a mail order dealer in

St Paul MN is not going to get a pizza ad for a shop in Jackson MS.

Therefore, "junk mail" refers to pyramid schemes, chain letters and other

worthless information that you are inundated with as a newcomer. Often you

will get so much of it that you will think this is all mail order has to

offer and quit. THIS IS NOT TRUE. This is only one phase of the mail order

industry _ and it's too bad that beginners get hit with the bulk of it.

As you continue to grow in the mail order business, the amount of "junk mail"

you receive will diminish compared to the legitimate offers and orders.

This is how you know your business is growing in a successful direction.

Back to the matter at hand. How can you make money with this mail?

One way is by studying and analyzing the piece of mail from a marketing

standpoint. Since people obviously are making money with "junk mail"

(it would have phased out long ago if it didn't) it's up to you to find

out HOW they are doing it.

Is it the words they use? Normally, "junk mail" offers appeal to a person's

emotional wants and desires. They claim to offer hidden secrets, untold

wealth and quick cash. They make false claims by telling people they can now

send their kids to college, buy their wife a beautiful diamond ring, take a

well-deserved vacation to an exotic tropic island and pay off all their

debts.

When the person reads this stuff and forms visions of sugarplums in their

heads, they will rush right away and send away for the product immediately.

What made them believe you? How was the "junk mail" written to cause a person

to immediately react in this manner? These are things you have to study and

determine. Then, use this new found knowledge to sell your own product.

The problem with "junk mail" is that if a person gets all hyped up and sends

away for the product they have built it up to be bigger-than-life. And when

the product or information they ordered arrives, it simply is a sheet of

paper or another piece of "junk mail" trying to sell them something else.

The person feels cheated, stupid, and taken advantage of.

People may always exist that will respond to this type of "junk mail."

But you can use the same marketing concept to provide the people with

something REAL. This way, they won't feel cheated, stupid and taken

advantage of. This is where the "junk mail" authors who wrote this stuff

in the first place overlook the true marketing potential.

More money could be made if the person buying something is satisfied and

makes a repeat purchase. In fact, newcomers are eager to learn and will

buy anything to get started learning. By taking advantage of them only

means that you will make one sale in that person's lifetime. But if the

product is good and worthwhile _ they will order from you again and again.

                                   

Many newcomers today will be big businesses tomorrow. And I'm sure if a

newcomer found a honest company that really helped them break into the mail

order field they would continue to do business with them when they really

did make millions of dollars. See what I mean? The back-end sales for a

lifetime would be worth the investment.

I'm not saying that you can take a piece of "junk mail" claiming to make the

person $1 million in 30 days or less and turn it into a valuable and

worthwhile product. Since this is a downright lie, there is no way to market

this honestly. However _ you can study the piece of "junk mail" to determine

what words and phrases were used and how the ad is written so you can

understand how to present a REAL product that people will be eager to buy.

Then, pass the word and tell every new person you come into contact with

about these pie-in-the-sky-schemes. You might even want to try writing to

some of the people listed on the chain letters. Explain how all this "junk

mail" only appeals to their emotional needs and how the company who

originally wrote these materials are USING them to only get their money.

If everyone passed along this information _ it wouldn't take very many years

before we could put a stop to all this nonsense.

If people slack off on buying it and see the scam for what it really is _

the cons will diminish!
