I think Mike & Dien's "The Great Ideas Letter" and Ron Ruiz's "The Business Fastlane" are two prime examples of the "UNIQUE and DIFFERENT BUSINESSES & PRODUCTS" newsletter concept. (Though, I don't know if either uses a clipping service.)

As for clipping services, in addition to Bacon's (1-800-621-0561), Mark Nolan also lists Burrelles Press Clipping Service (1-800-631-1160) and Luce Press Clippings (1-800-528-8226) in his "Instant Cash-Flow" book. Don't know anymore about them than that, but if they're still around, they probably have web-sites.

> Go to your Library and look in a Chicago

> Used to cost me 25cents per article for my

> Here's an idea for a business;
> Start up a Newsletter offering a Monthly
> Service of "UNIQUE and DIFFERENT
> BUSINESSES & PRODUCTS"
> Just ask Bacon's to send you articles on
> "Unique & Different businesses and
> products" and you will be swamped with
> articles. You'll get articles from
> newspapers all across the country.

> Make up a Sales Letter and offer a
> Subscription.
> 3 mos for $35....1 year for $97.

> Most people are interested in Unique and
> Different businesses and products that are
> UP AND RUNNING!
