********************************************************************* This is the $1.00 concept explained without the hype and silly numbers! Read the following carefully and you could be joining the many thousands of Internet users who are currently earning large sums of money $$$$ with a few hours work using their computers via the Internet! ********************************************************************* This posting has been appearing for quite some time and has now literally got thousands of people actively involved. No doubt like me, you may have seen it before and become a little confused by the way it's been explained. However, I personally have never believed in a so called "Free lunch" and have always worked hard to support my family. But this idea is so simple involving only a modest $5.00 investment that I simply had to try it. At first, it took me quite a while to figure it out - my first impressions led me to believe that there must be someone behind it who alone is benefitting. But this isn't so, you only have to look at the various postings to realise this; the thousands of postings that are made all carry different names and addresses. So with so many people involved I became convinced that with this particular program I too could benefit. Although many of the postings have been modified, the basic principal remains the same. In my opinion the only problem has been the way the initial concept has been repeatedly changed. With this in mind I have set out to explain what I consider to be a clearer version, in the hope that it's fully understood. In general, these postings lead you to believe you can make $50,000 within a month, which I think is a little over the top. But now eleven days after my initial involvement, I'm beginning to get a reasonable and realistic return with a further understanding of just how big this concept is. I still cannot believe it - the money is coming in from all over the world. That money sure comes in useful, but what's more important is the fact I have proved this is a totally workable and legitimate system involving no risk and no major cash outlay. My other concern was the legal aspect, so I checked this through and was told that providing I mail one dollar to the person I am asking to put me on their mailing list, I am in fact paying for a service. And that service consists of using the Internet to advertise a business. So what is this business? Well this business is to do with assembling a mailing list of people who are interested in working from home using their computers to generate an income. *********************************************************************** Ok...if your interested there are three basic steps: All of which are pretty simple. Think positive, after all, the people below became involved just like you! THE FIRST STEP (1). Obtain five sheets of paper with of course stamps and envelopes. Write your full name and address along with your e-mail address (if applicable), on each sheet, with the words: "Please place me on your mailing list" Also, enclose a one dollar ($1) bill. Please wrap the paper around the dollar ($1) bill to ensure confidentiality. Put the paper and dollar bill in each envelope and mail to the following five addresses: *********************************************************************** 1) T.Toole, BOX 1138, Valemount B.C. Canada, V0E 2Z0 2) A.Barber, 5 Westover ST, Pittsfield, MA 01201 3) A.Gause, P.O. Box 851, Mullins, S.C. 29574-0851 4) L.Perkins, 190 W 15 N, Mt. Home, Id. 83647 5) G. Tummillo, 9104 Jamay St., St. Leonard, Qc, Canada, H1R 2L1 *********************************************************************** When you have mailed your message with the one dollar bill to the above people, go to the second step. SECOND STEP (2). From the addresses listed above, remove the first name from Position #1 and move everyone on the list up one slot. Therefore, the address on Position #3 moves to Position #2, Position #4 moves to Position #3 and Position #5 moves to Position #4. Finally, put your name, address, and country in Position #5 which is the bottom position on the list. The above can be done by simply amending the address section as stated with no other alterations and posting as described later. Or, you can retype the whole document adding what you feel may be important. It's entirely up to you. Once you have revised the article, go to the: THIRD STEP (3). Post your article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are 20 000 newsgroups, so it should not be hard to find that many. Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can, and the bigger the newsgroup is, the more people are going to see your message. You are now in the business of assembling a mailing list. You should start seeing returns in two to three weeks. NOW HERE IS WHY THE SYSTEM IS SO SUCCESSFUL!!! ********************************************** The Internet is growing daily at a phenomenal rate, doubling once a year perhaps you already know this. There are millions of people surfing the Internet and an estimated 100 000 users scanning the newsgroups of which there are nearly 20 000. This exposure is the key factor and the reason why: You me and all those who take part cannot fail not to be disappointed. Just think about it, if you became interested in this article, why shouldn't thousands of others! The reason why it's so simple yet successful for those keen to participate and earn a realistic amount of cash is as follows: In theory if only eight people respond to your article, you make $8 for every two hundred postings with your name at #5. Each person who sent you a $1 now also makes two hundred postings with your name at #4 equating to $64. Your six-four new agents also make two hundred postings each with your name at #3, say 12 800 postings equating to $512. These 512 agents again make two hundred postings each with your name at #2 equating to $4096 or 102 400 postings. Finally, 4096 people once again make two hundred postings with your name at #1 and this would equate to the mathematical statistic of $32 768 before your name drops off the list. Which is pretty exciting and mind boggling considering these figures are based on only two hundred postings at a time being made down the line! Most people may think these figures are ridiculous, but they do add up. After all they do say the success of the Internet is due to it's sheer capacity of over 40 million. Technically, you only need an average return of 4.0% from the 200 postings that each person makes in order to achieve these high figures. So with the Internet comprising of 40 million user's, the sky really is the limit!!! It's a never ending money making process because when your name finally drops off the list, you simply access another newsgroup posting and begin the process all over again. The financial rewards are guaranteed, but as stated, the level of success depends upon your efforts! And how much posting you do. GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS: **************************************** Make any necessary changes to this article as explained in step (2) and when you're satisfied, save it as a .txt file and import it into the body of your E-mail or newsreader program. This way you only have to change the name of the newsgroup or E-mail address for each redistribution. Valuable tip: And very important for those not too familiar with E-mail: By all means use a wordprocessor to ensure the article is composed well, but to ensure people that first read it via their newsreader program see it clearly laid out. Re-format it with a simple text editor such as "notepad," or "WordPad" if your using "Windows 95." Providing the text is clearly visible and does not scroll into the right margin, it should be ok! Using this procedure essentially means the article will be correctly displayed when viewed through other people's newsreaders. You can of course check this out for yourself before going on line, by viewing it in your own newsreader program. Next, begin by locating the newsgroups you intend posting to. Netscape 3.0 or a similar newsreader is terrific for this because you can highlight dozens of newsgroups all at once, enabling you to distribute your article to 1000 locations in less than an hour or two. Highlight all newsgroups you want to mail your letter to which as you know is done by holding down CTRL while left clicking. This way you can select multiple newsgroups in one go, choose perhaps a dozen each time. You will then see all the newsgroups you highlighted displayed in the Newsgroups Field. Next: select/highlight your newsgroups, then click "To News" place a sensible title in the "Subject" location, click on "Attachments" whereupon another box appears. Locate the file you are going to distribute, click on the file and then click "Open" again click OK; provided you followed these instructions, you should see your file greyed out in the "Attachments" box. Hit send... and that's it. Repeat the process over and over again by selecting further newsgroups in multiples of 10's but try to be selective with the groups by posting to high volume locations, and don't choose a subject that appears too flashy, this will only put people off. This is an honest and legitimate way of making a reasonable amount of money, and making it on a regular basis. But only if your message is sincere and clearly understood by others will you succeed. PLEASE NOTE: This system is based on everyone being honest, but it's all too tempting not to bother mailing out envelopes with dollar bills inside. The success for all participating is dependant upon this taking place and if carried out will mean a 500% increase on your article being redistributed! So please be fair. The system won't work to your or other people's advantage if you don't follow the procedure. You can if you wish remain anonymous by using a pseudonym - but please ensure your address is correct. AS A FINAL NOTE: Many business ideas for making money, no matter how well thought out and implemented simply don't get off the ground. And in most cases is due to advertising costs, but the exposure obtained through the Internet is quite honestly - pretty awesome, so please study this article carefully taking all the time you want, because the moment you begin participating you will be on track for some serious financial rewards. By the very nature of the way the system works you may not see the benefits the first week. BUT COMMENCING THE SECOND WEEK, YOUR INTAKE OF MAIL FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL TRULY ASTONISH YOU! Please give this some serious thought, because this is one of the few money making schemes that really does work... GOOD LUCK!!!
