Default Re: Which products sell profitably from newspaper classifieds....

Hi Dien:

I assume you mean that they get leads from the classified section? A two-step approach.

The dream of every marketer is to make money with the following ad...

"Great Correspondence Course only $995. Send money order only to PO Box..."

How does their ad read?

Thanks,

Leo
