Haven't done anything in thos publications for nearly 10 years ... sorry, I wouldn't know where to start looking for a directory.

Unfortunately ... or maybe, fortunately ... the mailorder world is getting bigger & bigger all the time and, unless you keep up with it (almost daily), you soon lose touch.

I'll take a look around and see if I can find anything you can use.

For the past 9 years, I have done nothing but Direct Mailings. Every once in a while I place a space ad, or write an article - but - since I have an in-house mailing list of about 700,000 I just keep mailing.

No matter how you go about getting into a mailorder business, you must start building an in-house mailing list. That, alone, is the biggest secret to mailorder marketing. As a matter of fact, I recommend that anyone wanting to get into mailorder start building a list even before they begin their business.

YES -- my "Own Your Own Mailorder Business" has been praised by Dan Kennedy, Mark Nolan, Dean DuVall, John Shuttleworth, Joe Cossman, Russ von Hoelscher ... among others. It is a complete course on mailorder ... what to do and how to do it, the way all of we old pros have done it for years and year.

Along with the course, I include a drop ship program on 12 of my products ... hundred thousand dollars per year products ... with all of the ads to use.

But, you don't have to sell my products to profit from my course. -- Once you've studied the course, you can follow the formula to success in any kind of mailorder business.

Good, I hates to be 'tacked.

As Arnold says, "I'll be back."
