Strapped for Cash????  Want Free Stuff????

Even if you are not strapped for cash, but would enjoy getting lots of free stuff, then the internet is the place to find lots of freebies floating around, just for the taking.  There are freebies, and then there are freebies that come with a little twist.

for examply a free freebie would be something you just give out your mailing address and receive it free in the mail, even without shipping charges.  A freebie with a twist is something that you may get for free, after either answering a survey, or providing postage cost.

As we looked around the internet we found lot of freebie sites to visit and we will be placing them here periodically.  If you know of some freebies site, be sure to leave your contribution here.

If your ads aren’t paying off then you need this quick method in writing order pulling ads:
Step 1 - Write a headline that will draw attention to your product or service.  Don’t write headlines with phrases like:  Attention please!!  Create headlines that IMMEDIATELY let people know what you are selling.  If you have envelopes for sale at a discount, use a headline which says:  Discount Envelopes.
Step 2 - Don’t confuse the reader with several different offers in one ad.  Use more space if you intend to advertise several offers. If only one inch of ad space is being used, then sell only one item.  An example of copy that would describe Discount Envelopes would read as follows:  “Discount Envelopes.  All Sizes and All Styles.  Descriptive catalog available FREE with your order for 100 #10 Business Envelopes imprinted with up to 4 lines.  $3.95 Ppd.  Catalog without order, 25ó.”
Step 3 - An ad that sells GENERAL MERCHANDISE or services that can be used by most individuals can be advertised in any publication.  Offers such as stamps should be advertised thusly.

This list was current at time of publication.  However, suppliers sometimes change their policy.  Most offer free circulars, you pay only the postage costs.  Suppliers are listed below:

Earn Money at Home

A good income or way to earn money at home can be a reality for anyone owning a rubber stamp.  The only additional items needed are envelopes, postage stamps, and a few commission circulars to earn money at home.  The rubber stamp is the only one of the above items you need to pay for.  The envelopes, postage stamps and circulars can be obtained FREE.

Many small operators are earning a comfortable living as commission mailers.  The “tricks of the trade” are rather involved, but I’ll give you all the basic information you’ll need to start a profitable business.  Hundreds of supply houses are constantly looking for people to mail their circulars for them.  In most cases, these people will send you all the circulars you need - for FREE.  However, they need to know that you are in business or they cannot send circulars to you.

Start your commission mailing business by running this short, classified ad in as many adsheets and magazines as your investment will allow:  “Commission circulars mailed free.  Must pay me 50% or more.  Send postage paid:  (Your name and address).”  The above ad will bring plenty of free imprint circulars to you.  As they come in, insert one of the circulars from each batch into a notebook and list the source of the item and the address - to avoid confusion when filling future orders.

While you are waiting for your first package of circulars to arrive, place the following small ad in as many adsheets as you can afford, offering a big mail for free:  “Free Big Mail!  Return this ad with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.  (Your name and address).”  The above ad will bring free stamps and envelopes to you.  The people who answer this type of ad are interested in seeing what you have to offer and are usually excellent prospects.  In the beginning you will probably mail no more than 100 envelopes per month.  As your income grows, you can expand your monthly mailings.  Some commission mailers mail thousands of pieces per month. mail for free:  “Free Big Mail!  Return this ad with a self-per month.  As your income grows, you can expand your monthly mailings.

Sweepstake Fraud

You go to your mailbox today and find an official document from an Awards
Committee claiming that you’ve JUST WON $5,000! All you have to do is run
in the house and call them to claim your prize! What joy! You can’t believe
it! You were wondering how you would pay the rent this month and now all
your troubles are over. You call all your friends and relatives to tell them
you’ve just won a sweepstakes. Everyone is happy for you and willing to help
you spend your money correctly (to their benefit, of course.)

Now comes the rain on your parade. You call the 900-number to claim your
prize. Who cares if the fine print says the call costs 98c per minute. You’ve
just won $5,000. What’s 98c to you?

After being kept on hold for quite awhile you find out you’ve won $5,000
worth of COUPONS! What? You thought it was money you won? Whoops - sorry, you
just paid 98c per minute (or about $9.80) for a bunch of worthless coupons
you could have probably cut out of your Sunday paper. It’s a rip-off pure and
simple!

The TV show 60 Minutes had a special segment about these companies. The
rip-off sweepstakes company gets MILLIONS of dollars per day with their
900 phone lines just from people like you. They put you on hold so they can
make MORE money from you. It has been reported that some operators will sit
by the phone, timing you on their watch to see how long you’ll hang on. The
longer you hold on and run up your phone bill - the more “stupid” they claim
you are.

Yes folks! These types of companies are run by heartless, cruel and horrible
individuals that sit back and laugh at the very people lining their pockets
with money! The government cannot shut them down because they are giving you
$5,000. Its your problem that you thought it was “money” instead of”coupons.”
(This is an example of those “Legitimate Scams” I have been warning you about
in other Victoria’s Reports.) Always remember that if you REALLY win money in
a sweepstakes it is unlawful to charge you even 1c to claim it! In addition,
if you win any contest whatsoever, a real prize committee will visit you
personally or call you themselves at their own expense.

Honest sweepstakes are set up to entice people to try the products the
company is selling who is running the sweepstakes. Publishers Clearing
House is probably one of the best well-known sweepstakes around. We all get
them in our mailbox every January and February. They are popular because
people order magazines just to enter the sweepstakes. The sweepstakes
itself is very honest. However, a lady who used to work for them told me
that if a sweepstakes form is returned WITHOUT an order, it is normally
discarded. Only a small majority are entered into the sweepstakes - or just
enough to keep the federal agents off their back. Of course, if you order
though - you have nothing to worry about. You have a whole one chance in
17 million to win a prize!

Personally, if you enjoy entering sweepstakes, I would suggest that you
contact Nick Taylor, 4215 Winnetka N #219, Minneapolis MN 55428. Nick
publishes a newsletter called “The Best Sweepstakes Newsletter”. It is filled with complete instructions for entering sweepstakes which give you
a greater chance of winning. The newsletter even holds it’s own contests
and drawings _ so you should be able to win something sooner or later!
Subscriptions are $17.50 per year, but Nick will send you a sample copy
to whet your appetite for $2.50. (Be sure to mention that you read about
him in Victoria’s Report No. 138.)

Remember folks, that nobody is going to give you something free when they
call you on the phone or send you a letter telling you that you have won a
prize. But there are people that fall for these scams over and over again
without thinking. The problem lies in the fact that these companies fill
people with a bunch of hype and play on them emotionally. Everybody wants
to have enough money to pay their bills, take a fabulous vacation, relax in
their yacht, pay the children’s way through college, work the hours they
want to work, tell the boss to “take that job and shove it” and buy a new
car and home for their family. Can you think of anyone that would turn down
a proposition like this?

Human beings love the idea of getting something for nothing. For some reason
it makes them feel like they are special and respected for all the hard work
they have done all their life. People who have continually strived for
something in life, only to have the door shut in their face are potential
customers for scams and rip-off artists. These cruel people are only after
the money you have worked so hard to make - so protect yourself now!
