Now let us see what happens:
You make $1.50 on each set of books. Suppose that you only sell twenty
people out of each hundred to whom you send the folder. Your profit
would be $30 on each hundred folders you send out. One person can
address about 1,000 envelopes each 8–hour day, so if you sent out 1,000
folders each day you would make $300 per day if you sold twenty people
out of each hundred you sent them to. If you only sold ten people out of
each hundred, you would make $150 per day, and if you even only sold
five out of each hundred you would make $75 per day, provided you sent
out 1,000 folders each day.
When you finish mailing to everyone in your vicinity, start mailing to
the near-by towns. You can employ other girls to do your addressing
after you get started.
What could be more pleasant than having the postman bring you an armful
of mail each morning with each letter containing $3 of which $1.50 is
profit to you?
If you wish, you can use your own name and address. Some girls work
their plans under the name of The Woman’s Library and either use their
home address or just rent a lock box at the Post Office. If for any
reason you do not want people to know who is running this plan, the
latter suggestion is better.
When you get started with this plan, we will furnish you with other
things to sell by mail. The first thing you know you will be proprietor
of a large mail-order establishment.
Later on in this book we will tell you how to get started on this plan.
