Start 1997 Debt-free!

*******************************************************************

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 quite 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. Perhaps you are even a little skeptical. I was too.

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.
What did I have to lose?

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 benefiting. But this isn't so, you only have to look at the
various postings to realize 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
there is no doubt in people's minds that it's fully understood. Because
believe me, this system does work! 

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 ten 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.

 *******************************************************************

Okay . . . 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!

(1) THE FIRST STEP. Obtain five sheets of paper with of course stamps
and envelopes. Write your full name and address on each sheet, with the
words: "Please place me on your mailing list" enclosing a one dollar
bill and mail to the following five addresses: 

*******************************************************************

* L.M. King, 2639 47th Avenue, San Francisco, CA  94116 
* F. Galvez, 1633 Amberwood Drive, Apt. 29, South Pasadena, CA  91030 
* T. Toole, Box 1138, Valemount, B.C., Canada,  VOE-2Z0 
* K. Curan, 2490 Blackrock, Turnpike #194, Fairfield, CT  06430
* S. Hyatt, 6022 Foxland Drive, Brentwood, TN 37027

*******************************************************************

When you have mailed your message with the one dollar bill (Please do as
everyone else does by not including checks or money orders) to the above
people, go to the: 

(2) SECOND STEP. From the addresses listed above, remove the top name
and address and insert your own at the bottom so you still have five
names and addresses, only this time your own is included. This can be
done by simply amending the address section as stated with no other
alterations and posting as described later. Or, you can re-type the
whole document adding what you feel may be important. It's entirely up
to you, I'm perfectly satisfied, but I had to wait at least ten days
before finding out how successful it really was. 

Until nearly two weeks had gone by I began thinking "How come there
hasn't been any response" but after the 10th day dozens and then
hundreds of letters began arriving. And they are increasing as each day
passes. I already have $756.00 and at the rate the mail is arriving this
soon will have doubled! I don't doubt people have earned large sums of
money, and suspect the reason is due to the amount of postings made, so
who knows just what this money making venture is capable of. One thing
is certain it's certainly working for me!!!

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. With 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!

At first, I posted to nearly 250 newsgroups, but due to the response
soon increased this to 300, which brought in mail from Europe the Far
east, Australia and America. So with my first dozen replies I made
$12.00. But to simplify matters and keep the arithmetic easy, suppose I
had posted to 200 newsgroups with my name at five and just had five
replies which would have meant I earned $5.00. The third and final step
explains the concept. 

(3) THIRD STEP. And the reason why it's so simple yet successful for
those keen to participate and earn a realistic amount of cash. In theory
you make $5.00 for every two hundred postings with your name at five.
Each person who sent you a $1.00 now also makes two hundred postings
with your name at four equating to $50.00. Your Fifty new agents also
make two hundred postings each with your name at three, say ten thousand
postings equating to $500.00. These five hundred agents again make two
hundred postings each with your name at two equating to $10.000 or one
hundred thousand postings. Finally, five thousand people once again make
two hundred postings with your name at one and this would equate to the
mathematical statistic of $50.000 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 2.5% 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, or
indeed before if you really need the cash (and who doesn't) you simply
access another newsgroup posting and begin the process over again,
placing your name at Five. 

Please remember to upload this article to as many newsgroups, local
bulletin boards, message areas and file sections as possible. The
financial rewards are guaranteed, but as stated, the level of success
depends upon your efforts! And how much posting you do. 

As a personal note: The above figures are for demonstration purposes
only with the whole concept and current success based upon the number of
people participating. And the number of newsgroups and file sections you
post this article to. Yes, it really depends on you the individual! How
much money you want to make rests in your hands. 

Accessing newsgroups is very easy considering there are nearly 20.000 to
choose from. Your success rate is determined by the amount of newsgroups
accessed, you must follow through and post this or your own similar
article to hundreds of newsgroups; maximize your postings and you
maximize your cash intake.

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 email or newsreader program. This way you only have to
change the name of the newsgroup or email address for each
redistribution. 

Valuable tip: And very important for those not too familiar with email:
By all means use a word processor 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 newsreader's.
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's of 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
grayed 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
flash, 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 dependent upon this taking
place and if carried out will mean a 500% increase on your article being
redistributed! The system won't work to yours or indeed other people's
advantage if you don't follow the procedure. You can however, if you
wish to remain anonymous use 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!!!
