And if you read this information file in its entirety before 9/1/94, you'll find out how you can have an extra $200 in your pocket right away! Our company is in the process of releasing the distribution rights on a sizzling hot breakthrough in adult software. This revolutionary new product literally sells itself to the single largest common interest group of BBS and Internet callers, those of adult BBSes. In this letter, you're about to learn important information about online marketing that no one else is telling you. Further you'll uncover how a very highly targeted form of online marketing is so devastatingly simple in a market where there is absolutely no competing product and a colossal waiting demand. Finally, you'll discover why we've chosen to utilize a revolutionary NEW marketing concept which allows distributors of this software to keep 100%, that's right 100%, every last nickel and dime of the sales price! DISPELLING THE MYTHS ABOUT ONLINE MARKETING Many people dream of quitting their job in favor of a far simpler, less stressful, and more financially rewarding career in online marketing. If this describes your mind-set when you responded to our ad, you're not alone! And, if you're like most people we've visited with recently, you've probably been in search of a workable online marketing strategy and product for some time, and you may have even tried a few online ventures with no success. To understand why distributors of our product will be so successful, we first need to discuss the truth about what is currently happening in the online marketing arena and dispel any myths you may have. There is a great deal being said these days about online marketing and how entrepreneurs using their modems can earn from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per month selling just about anything. We've investigated these unrealistic claims, talked to other experts in the field, and conducted our own test marketing. The unfortunate answer is that it just isn't so. To be successful in online marketing, the product or service you offer must be in demand by those who read your message. There currently exists only a few products which fit this description, ours being one of them. Most BBS, Internet and online service callers are just like you. They're highly educated and aren't interested in the vast majority of products and services being touted by many would-be online marketers. Further, they don't want to waste their time chasing after unrealistic marketing schemes and all of the MLM programs being circulated online these days. Moreover, you can not successfully market a product or service in any medium, whether it be in print or online, using a shotgun approach. Your product must be in demand by the audience who sees your material, and you must be able to get your message directly in front of those people who constitute your target audience. If you've ever tried to sell any product or promote a business opportunity of any kind online, you've already discovered this truth. The online world is strewn with bodies of unsuccessful online entrepreneurs who were trying to sell something the market didn't have an interest in buying. SO WHAT SELLS ONLINE? Many people are interested in establishing a steady second income utilizing online marketing because of its simplicity, ease of entry, relatively small capital requirements, and almost immediate rewards, but they get frustrated trying to find a product which will really sell. So what's the secret to finding what sells online? The answer is something that is so outrageously simple you'll wonder why you didn't realize it earlier. Above all else, the product must have an appeal to the already established computer related interests of your target audience. That's why the really big money makers in online marketing have always been and will always be the software distributors. Software authors realized this a long time ago. Write a program once and then sell it 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 times or more! Unfortunately not everyone can be a software author nor do they have the contacts or capital to become a distributor, but by using our simple distribution process, you can reap the same ridiculously high profits. And in your case, you won't even need to spend the time writing the software! You probably didn't wake up this morning with the thought you could ever own distribution rights to the hottest adult software currently available, did you? Please keep in mind we're not talking about shareware, where usually only a small percentage of those who use the software product ever register and pay for it. This is not to say that there aren't numerous shareware authors who have become millionaires, because there are. The unfortunate reality of online marketing is that numerous companies have jumped on the bandwagon trying to copy the phenomenal success of software distributors using a wide array of products and marketing schemes which just don't sell online. OUR BREAKTHROUGH PRODUCT WHICH REALLY SELLS! Whether you're male or female, you're already aware of the millions of XXX- rated adult GIF pictures in circulation and exactly what they're used for. What you may be unaware of is that up until right now there has never been any form of sound files which have been produced to enhance the viewing enjoyment of GIF collectors. That's right, it's now possible for someone to view their favorite GIFs while at the same time a gorgeous female talks to them and tells them exactly what they'd like to hear and what to do! Our sound files, which are the first on the market, contain the ultimate in sexually explicit language and are a must have for all adult GIF collectors. Our software collection is comprised of 16 different disks, each with a suggested retail price of $12.50. Each disk or volume contains approximately 20 different sound files with an average total running time of about three minutes per disk. The sentences and phrases used on each disk are specific to a particular type of sexual activity or subject matter (oral sex, intercourse, etc.). In other words there are sound files that go along with virtually any of the different sexual themes present in GIFs. Nothing has been left out or left to the imagination. All of the sound files were recorded at an 8 bit sampling rate in WAV format which is easily convertible to other sound formats by the user. How often do you think collectors of adult GIFs have wished for a gorgeous female companion to verbally add climactic enjoyment to their GIF viewing? A warm, sensitive woman who knows exactly what they want to hear and when! A voice so sexy, yet so tender and caring they'll never want to turn their computer off. An erotic experience so real, they'd swear she's right there with them. Our sexually explicit adult sound bits will work with all GIFs transforming the user's PC into a total XXX-rated sound and video system. Users of our product will delight in listening to the exact phrases and sentences they've always wanted to hear while viewing their GIF collection. The gal who narrates the sound files knows exactly what guys like to do while they view their favorite pictures and she definitely helps to make their viewing session one of the most sexually gratifying and pleasurable experiences they've ever had. No phoney moans and groans or heavy breathing, no beating around the bush, not clips from some XXX adult video tape either; these mind blowing sound bits were specially recorded for PC owners who want to experience the ultimate in personal satisfaction and enjoyment while viewing adult GIFs. You've never heard anything like these ever before, not on XXX adult videos, not on cassette tapes, and not from phone sex. Quite simply, they're the most spectacular & stimulating addition to the world of adult erotic PC entertainment since GIFs were first introduced! After a user's first thrilling session with his new sound files, he'll wonder how he could ever have enjoyed viewing GIFs without them. They're everything a GIF collector could have ever wanted in adult sound files and MORE! Depending on the sound board and the software a customer may use, there are a variety of ways in which they can listen to their sound bit collection while viewing GIFs at the same time. Probably the easiest way is through the use of a combination GIF & WAV Windows player. This type of program will allow the user to design his own slide shows and the exact sound files he'd like to hear while each picture is being displayed. Another option is to use a GIF viewer in one window and a sound player in another. Users of these sound files can also edit in pauses, and combine their sound files in the specific order they wish to hear them so they play in a continual non-stop fashion. This can be accomplished by using the "paste" function in windows. As an alternative to actually editing the sound files together into a longer running file, the tag function in Windows can also be used to hear multiple sound files in any order desired. These copyrighted disks are the hottest software for '94 and beyond and are available only through our distributors. WHY IS THERE SUCH A COLOSSAL DEMAND FOR THIS PRODUCT First and foremost is the obvious use for which the sound files are intended. There is generally but one use for adult GIFs and our sound files greatly enhance that experience without question. Discussions with users of this product during our test marketing also revealed the compellingly addictive nature of the sound files which equates to a high level of repeat sales. Further, there is currently no other product like ours on the market. None, zero, zilch! Log onto any adult BBS or look at the classified ad section of any computer magazine and you'll find this out. Our distributors will be the first ones to capture the lion's share of this truly lucrative and virgin market. Of even greater importance is the fact that the market for our sound files is huge! Consider for a moment the number of adult only BBSes or general audience BBSes which also carry an adult only section. They number in the tens of thousands and attract callers by the millions. They attract by far and away the single largest common interest group of BBS callers. Have you ever noticed how hard it is to get through to these boards? You set your communications program on automatic redial for an hour and hope you eventually get through. Moreover, have you ever noticed the number of downloads that adult GIFs get? The numbers are sky high, aren't they? Then there's the Internet and all of GIFs available world-wide! A lot of attention in the online world is focusing on all of the new front-end navigation tools which make GIF hunting on the net a breeze! Have you ever looked in the classified ad section of Computer Shopper or most other computer magazines and seen all of the adult GIF ads? Further, have you ever been to a computer show in your area and visibly seen which products sell the most? It's the games and adult GIFs. They go out of there by the bushel basket. Sex sells, pure and simple. It always has and always will. Fueling the demand for our product even more is the whole craze happening in multimedia. If you've been in a computer store at all in the past two years, you've probably noticed all of the sound cards being sold. If you don't have a sound card in your own computer yet, chances are it's on your wish list. Regardless of whether you personally own a sound card or ever plan on acquiring one, you're already aware that most people either have one or plan on acquiring one soon. The software being released these days is geared towards multimedia, and for good reason, it's more enjoyable. With an understanding of just how large this crossover market is and what the callers to adult BBSes and the Internet are interested in, what type of product do you think would have the greatest appeal to the single largest common interest group of BBS/Internet callers and computer users in the world? You're right! HOW WOULD YOU GO ABOUT MARKETING ONLINE Marketing computer software online is a natural because of it's built-in appeal to callers. Further, files or messages describing software related products aren't frowned upon by sysops as is the case with most other advertising, MLM programs and money making schemes. The most effective method of marketing our software online is to simply upload our text file catalog, or one you've created on your own, to the appropriate file section of your local adult oriented BBSes. And if you plan to make marketing on the Internet part of your future, there are numerous ways to publicize the catalog, including making it available through anonymous ftp. Please keep in mind that whether you make up your own catalog or edit ours to suit your purposes, all orders will come directly to you. In either event, you're instantly in business! As orders come in, you simply make copies from the master disks which you've acquired from us, and send them out to your customers. It's that simple! No inventory to maintain, no phone calls, and no need for any type of direct customer contact. You'll probably want to pick a company name for your business and obtain a post office box. If you get your box directly from the post office rather than from one of the many private post office box vendors, it will only cost you $15 to $20 every six months. In those cases where the BBS is a general purpose BBS, chances are it has a restricted adults only area. You'll need to leave a message to the sysop inquiring whether such a private area exists, and if so expressing your interest in being allowed access. Although our catalog is very tantalizingly worded and our sound files appeal directly to collectors of adult GIFs, it is very important that you not only give your file an eye catching name, but also include a very interesting and intriguing file description as well. Since virtually every caller to an adult BBS is a very likely customer, you won't be left hoping that maybe 1% of the people who download the catalog file will become customers, as would be the case in marketing other non computer software related products. This relates back to understanding that people will buy what they obviously already have an interest in. Assuming you decide to sell our sound files for the suggested retail price of $12.50 per disk for each of the 15 different volumes, how many do you think would be purchased by BBS callers in your area over a month's time? And what might that number be if you had our catalog on 10 adult BBSes? Based on the calling habits of most BBS users, you'll literally be making money while you sleep! With an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 BBSes currently online, of which at least 10,000 are adult oriented, plus approximately 20 million households with a modem, it is highly unlikely you'll ever run out of BBSes to call even in your own area, and that's assuming you never even go on the Internet! Even more amazing is the fact that both the number of new BBSes coming online and the number of computer users who are calling them are increasing at double digit rates! And these numbers don't even include the marketing potential which exists using the Internet or any of the major online services such as Compuserve, America Online, Prodigy, Genie or Delphi! You probably never thought that a few phone numbers you know of right in your own community could be worth so much, but they most definitely are. In fact, each phone number of an adult BBS could easily be worth thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to you. OTHER MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES Although this product can be very successfully and profitably marketed online, there are also many other very highly profitable methods of distributing software. As a distributor, you can use any of these other very successful methods to pyramid your earnings. Computer shows - Here in the Chicago area, there is a computer show somewhere in the suburban area almost every weekend. If you've never been to one in your area, you really should go and check them out. It's almost like a giant flea market. Some of the shows around here draw as many as 3,000 to 5,000 people on a Sunday afternoon. As mentioned earlier, the biggest sellers at these shows are games and adult GIFs. If you don't have the time to man a booth on your own, but want the profits, consider a consignment arrangement with someone who is already there selling GIFs. Although our distributors agreement prohibits you from reselling the distribution rights or contracting with sub-distributors, you can make up several dozen or even hundreds of disks and leave them with a GIF seller on consignment. Classified advertising - As you already know, there are dozens of nationally distributed computer magazines which allow for classified ads dealing with adult products - GIFs. Additionally, most communities have a locally published computer tabloid where you can advertise as well. Software and shareware catalogs - There are dozens of these in print and online circulation. Some carry proprietary products while others may allow you to advertise your own. Catalogs on CD Rom - Similar to above, catalogs on CD Rom are the latest thing to hit the market. Again, it may take a little time to find several to advertise on, but once you do, you're there for life! Repeat sales - Don't forget, we plan on releasing more products in the future. Each of your existing customers will be a very likely purchaser of new releases. Other products - Once you've established yourself as a software distributor with our product, you should actively look for as many additional software products you can distribute as well. This allows you to leverage your online time and activities many fold. Combine information about your other products in our catalog, or have several different online catalogs! The choice is yours, but the opportunities are endless. A REVOLUTIONARY DISTRIBUTION CONCEPT Distributing a software product on a national and international basis is a very costly proposition, even using online marketing. Consider for a moment the enormous numbers of adult BBSes currently in business (10,000+), the fact that it can take from 30 to 60 minutes on average to get through to each one because of constant busy signals, and then you have to register and wait a few days before you can call back to do any uploading. It didn't take us very long to figure out we'd have to hire dozens if not hundreds of employees on day one if we were going to retail this and future products ourselves, and it would still take us years to fully introduce this product on BBSes worldwide. We just couldn't penetrate the market by ourselves. But before we could design and adopt a distribution method for our software, we had to test market the product ourselves and iron out any bugs, which is exactly what we've already done. Our entire distribution concept is unlike anything you've ever seen and is based on the premise that we wanted both our lives and our distributors to be as simple and as profitable as possible. Further, understanding that with the right product virtually anyone can launch a very successful online marketing campaign on a local basis, we wanted our distribution process to be something the average computer user could utilize to create an endless income stream right from day one. Moreover, we wanted to eliminate each and every problem ever faced by any marketing or sales professional, and even those problems which even successful software distributors encounter. That meant: 1. No need for any type of customer contact. 2. No inventory purchase requirements by our distributors. 3. No waiting by the distributor for product to arrive from us. 4. No drop shipping problems if we were to fulfill orders directly. 5. No waiting on commission checks. 6. No wondering by our distributors whether they were getting paid for all of the sales they were making. 7. No low commission payout to our distributors. 8. No overhead. 9. No fancy marketing schemes like MLM or network marketing. 10. No direct selling by us to our distributors' customers. 11. No outrageously high front-end distributorship costs. Once we looked at our wish list which you just read, we realized we would virtually have to turn our software over to our distributors and allow them to make unlimited copies for sale to their customers. That meant our distributors would be in absolute control of not only how many and which BBSes they placed the catalog on, but everything from receiving the money, making unlimited copies of the disks for shipment to customers, to the customer list itself! They would keep 100% of all sales proceeds and would be the only ones to ever know who the customers are. A salesman's or distributor's dream come true! But could it be done, and at what price? After analyzing this distribution concept for awhile, and understanding that we would also benefit from having lower overhead and far fewer paperwork nightmares, we decided to go with it. Since that decision and talking it over with a few sysops of adult boards, we've been told we're crazy, that we're sitting on a virtual gold mine with this product, and that we're literally giving away a guaranteed take it to the bank opportunity of a lifetime to our distributors. Well, we have absolutely no problem with other people earning a lot of money distributing our products, and we don't think we're crazy and will tell you why in just a moment. WHAT OUR DISTRIBUTORS RECEIVE Since our goal is to have a ready market of successful distributors who are making a ton of money and who are anxiously awaiting each new product we release, we want to make everything as easy as possible for you. This will allow us to do what we do best - develop additional products which will be in high demand by both your new and existing customers. To accomplish our goals, each of the distributors of our products will receive the following: - All 16 volumes on 15 disks which can be duplicated unlimited times. - A sample text file catalog for uploading to your local BBSes. - A shareware combination GIF/WAV viewer/player. - Sample messages to use in message areas, conferences or on the Internet. - Phone support for any questions you may have. - Periodic updates of ideas used by other successful distributors. - First in line privileges to acquire the distribution rights to additional new and exciting software releases as they become available. Basically, anything and everything we ever think of to make your business as easy and successful as possible right from day one. Plus you'll always have our assurance that we won't enter the retail software distribution business on our own some day. WHAT DO I DO NEXT? Knowledge is power in today's online marketplace only if you recognize it and take action. You already know that some people are making an extremely good first or second income utilizing online marketing and others have become millionaires, however the vast majority aren't because they're not software authors or lack the distribution rights to a software product which is in high demand. So let's recap for a moment. We've discussed what sells online and why, and who is already making the big dollars in this lucrative business. We've shown you our sizzling hot breakthrough software product, and discussed how and why it has strong appeal to the single largest common interest group of computer users both online and off. We've discussed how there are currently no other products like ours available anywhere. We've then gone on to review a very simple online marketing process that is so devastatingly elementary a child could do it. Finally, we revealed a revolutionary distribution concept which will allow our distributors to keep 100% of the sales proceeds. We've basically tried to de-mystify online marketing and make everything as simple and as profitable for our distributors as possible. Now for the best part of all, your investment in your new business. We've priced our entire distribution kit and disks at the incredibly low amount of only $575! For a limited time only (until 9/1/94), you may take $200 off this already low investment, making your outlay only $375!! You read that right! That's only twice the retail price you'll be selling them for (15 disks X $12.50 each = $187.50). As a result, it will be pretty easy for you to begin earning profits almost immediately. Normally you'd expect to pay a minimum several times that amount to acquire the distribution rights to any type of product! As we mentioned earlier, a lot of people think we're crazy for virtually giving away the profits on our software release, but we think otherwise, and also think you'll agree. The world we live in is a pretty big place and online marketing isn't just restricted to the United States. As a result, we're going to need hundreds of distributors worldwide, and we still may not penetrate the market. If in the U.S. alone each distributor uploaded our catalog to only 10 adult BBSes, it would take 1,000 to 2,000 just to do the full job here. Being more realistic though, if we only had 100 distributors worldwide, and we released five new software products a year to each distributor, our income would be $187,500. Not a bad chunk of change, even though many of our distributors will probably end up earning more than us. But that's ok. Our goal is to see everyone succeed, not just us. So what are you waiting for? To become a distributor and begin earning your share of the profits from our revolutionary product, simply complete and return the distributors agreement below. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this opportunity in further detail, please don't hesitate to call us at (708) 690-2143. And if you'd like to see a sample script of the language used in the WAV files, please e-mail us your request. Please state your age in your e-mail request. We look forward to having you join our team of successful software distributors.
