> Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your name at

> Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at #1 and

> you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list.  And

> that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250 postings each!

> Your total income for this one cycle is about $55,000!

> 

> 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 news

> reader program see it clearly laid out,  re-format it with a simple

> text

> editor such as "notepad", or "WordPad" if you're 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

> news reader.  You can, of course, check this out for yourself before

> going online, by viewing it in your own news reader program.

> 

> Next, begin by locating the news groups you intend posting to,

> Netscape

> 3.0 or a similar news reader is terrific for this, because you can

> highlight dozens of news groups all at once, enabling you to

> distribute

> your article to 1000's of locations in less than an hour or two.

> Highlight all news groups

> 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 news

> groups in one go, choose perhaps a dozen each time.  You will then see

> all news groups you highlighted displayed in the news groups field.

> 

> Next:  Select/highlight your news groups 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 news

> groups

> 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

> 

> PLEASE NOTE: This system is based on everyone being honest, but it's
