You Can Make Lots of Money with Classified Ads!
I Did, and I'll Teach You How! |
Sound incredible? Maybe, but over 40 years ago, I started my mail order career with one small classified ad. Since then, I've run thousands upon thousands of ads, month after month, year after year and have made millions doing it. I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. I found that, as with most things, making money with classified ads is easy when you know how.
There are many "get rich quick" plans. Some are based on theories that simply don't work. Others are winners that have proven themselves over the years. These opportunities have stood the test of time. My techniques for making money with classified ads is one of them.
I can't promise that you will get rich overnight (although some people do) and I can't promise you the moon (although I have helped many people to reach it). What I can promise is that if you are willing to put some time and effort into doing as I suggest, you positively will become successful. How do I know for sure? Because my approach to success works. I've proven it again and again in the real world, first with myself and then with other people, just like you!
| It's Your Turn for Success! |
Now you can assure your success by learning the winning mind-set and techniques I developed by trial-and-error during my four decades of experience as a successful mail order entrepreneur, consultant, book publisher, author, and instructor. Not only have I made a fortune, but my proven techniques have made big money for many of the thousands of students who have taken the mail order courses I taught at colleges and universities in the Los Angeles area for over ten years. I have helped students to become successful entrepreneurs—in fact, to literally change their lives dramatically—so many times that I am absolutely positive it can be repeated by anyone who is willing to listen and follow through.
| Make a Beautiful, New Life for Yourself! |
If you take my solid, proven techniques that have performed reliably day after day, year after year and put them to use, you will succeed in making a life in which you will no longer be dependent on a boss or a job or a salary that someone else dictates. You won't be at the mercy of inflation, recession, or other monetary fluctuations. When, where, and how you work will be entirely up to you. And so will how much money you make. You'll have control of your life and feel good every day about who you are and what you are doing. It's a feeling like no other.
| Can You Really Make Money Running Classified Ads? |
You certainly can! Did you ever stop to wonder who's running the hundreds of classified ads you see in magazines and tabloids? It's people like you and me. Some are just starting out, others have been advertising for years. What does it mean when the same ads run again and again? It means they are making money. Behind those few classified lines inviting you to send for a catalog or further information could easily stand a business doing millions of dollars a year in sales. I ought to know. Some of my ads have been running every month for 25 years! If you are willing to learn what I have to teach, you can be saying the same thing 25 years from now.
| The Melvin Powers Formula for Success: |
My book, Making Money with Classified Ads, is a 240-page, 8 1/2" x 11", fully illustrated guide to entrepreneurial success, jam-packed with details that systematically walk you through the steps necessary to make money—the same steps that are still making money for me.
It takes a practical, nuts-and-bolts approach to starting and running a mail order business based on classified ads. The book is easy to follow and fun to read. Yes, I said fun. (You'll see what I mean soon after you sit down in your easy chair, open the cover, and begin to read.) All you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions and you may very well take what turns out to be the adventure of a lifetime.

Making Money with Classified Ads includes something you probably have never seen before. Copies of ads, circulars, sales letters, and other literature from dozens of actual advertising campaigns—some that proved their pulling power by bringing in thousands of dollars—and analyses of how and why they pulled and how you can make similar pieces work for you. I literally lay open the internal workings of my business and my mind, sharing my own mental processes as I choose a new product, plan the advertising campaign, prepare the literature, execute the plan, evaluate it, keep track of it, expand it, pull back when appropriate—and love every minute of it all.
You'll see the mechanics of how everything comes together from inception to the natural wind-down of successful and not-so-successful campaigns. I share some of my biggest winners and some losers. As a result of experiencing numerous mail order campaigns almost as if you had conducted them yourself, you'll gradually develop a sixth sense—an intuitive feeling about what works and what doesn't that usually takes years of trial-and-error to develop.
You'll learn how to find and use the same resources that I and other professionals use. You'll be reading the same magazines I read. Evaluating the same products I evaluate. Analyzing the competitions' ads as I analyze them. And finding great new ideas where I find them. You'll develop a business logic that will help you make the right decisions, and instincts that will make you, and save you, a lot of money.
