How to Turn Junk, Trash & Discards into Cash
Some
Americans have finally come to the realization that we cannot continue being as wasteful
now as we have been in the past. As our resources dwindle, many items are now being
recycled. This can mean extra money for you!
As
forests vanish (America's "paper habit" destroys over 2,000,000 trees a day!), there is a
growing need to recycle paper products. You can save and sell old newspapers, magazines,
corrugated cardboard, computer paper, etc.
Glass
bottles and metals are also being reused. Industry needs aluminum (cans, TV dinner trays,
foil etc.), lead, copper, brass, iron, steel, stainless steel, bi-metal cans, insulated
electric wire, etc., etc.
For
the simplest way to dispose of these materials, look in your yellow pages under the
following categories: "Recycling Centers", "Junk Dealers", "Scrap Metals" and Waste
Paper".
Unwanted
clothing and household items and other discards can be sold at garage sales, neighborhood
yard sales, flea markets, church benefits, etc. Or, you can donate these items to local
charities (see "Thrift Shops" in your yellow pages), and then declare them on your income
tax as a " tax deductible donation", Don't throw things into the garbage can. Somebody
can probably use them.

How to lose weight - and Keep it Off
The
U.S. government says that 2 out of 3 Americans would like to lose weight. Fad diets are
ineffective because they do not go to the heart of the overweight problem. And those that
do lose weight with a fad diet, almost always gain it back again - and more!
The
formula for losing weight is quite simple: To lose weight you have to use more calories
than your present diet provides.
Those
that work hard, such as laborers, can eat more calories of food without gaining weight.
But, those that are less active in their job and daily activities, must learn to consume
less calories.
To
lose weight - and keep it off - you should have a guide that shows the calories of all
foods. One of the best is "The Official Calorie & Carbohydrate Counter" - No. 345.
To get a copy. send $1.00 to : Globe Mini Mags div., Globe Communications, P. O. Box 702,
Rouses Point, Ny 12979. It will prove to be a good investment, if you are really
serious about losing weight.
Also
read "World's Easiest 'No-Exercise' Diet That Guarantees Results". Send a long (#10)
self-addressed stamped envelope and $2.00 to : Guaranteed Diet - Dept. ED-30R, Box 6466,
San Francisco, Ca 94101.
Some
excellent tips for losing weight and keeping it off are: Eat a balanced diet. Don't skip
meals. Eat slowly and allow only 20 minutes for each meal. Chew each mouthful 20 times.
Hot foods such as hot soup decreases appetite. Concentrate on meal's smells, appearance,
taste - not quantity. Avoid foods high in fats and sugar.

How To Get Free Merchandise & Services
You
can obtain free furniture, appliances and a lot of other merchandise by starting up a

some cases.
All
you have to do is contact local storeowners and merchants, who normally advertise in
regular local newspapers, and offer to run their ads in exchange for free furniture and
other merchandise. True, you will be running their ad free, but chances are you would not
have a paid ad for that space anyhow. If you promote this idea right, you could grow into
a larger operation and go into PAID circulation before you know it. In the meantime, and
for as long as you like, you can continue to receive FREE merchandise and services in
exchange for advertising space.

How
to Turn Free Grocery "Store Coupons" Into Cash
Save
all the "cents off" coupons that you can. These "store coupons" are as good as gold. If
you know how to use them. And they're free! Simply clip and save them from all of the
newspapers and magazines that you read.
One
of the easiest ways to use these coupons to best advantage is to trade them for other
coupons, for products you want. As example, let us say that you have accumulated several
dollars worth of coupons for dog food - but you don't have a dog. Maybe a friend,
neighbor or relative would be very happy to use those coupons when they buy dog food.
Just trade them for grocery store items that you and your family want and use.
This
type of "bartering" can work in other ways too. Let us say that you want a certain item,
but don't have the ready cash. Try to make a deal with the store owner. Maybe he will
accept a quantity of store coupons in exchange for items you want. The rate of exchange
should be about 10 to 1 - $10.00 worth of store coupons towards $1.00 of the purchase
price of the product or service you want. This type of exchange agreement can best be
made with smaller stores. As example, we know a lady who does a lot of sewing and
needlework. She gets all of her supplies from a nearby sewing center, by saving and
trading store coupons for her yarn, thread, needles, etc. Another lady we know, recently
traded a handful of store coupons for a like-new toaster at a neighborhood garage
sale.
You
can also sell store coupons by mail for cash! For free details, send a self-addressed
stamped envelope to: Store coupons - Dept. 30R, Box 6466, San Francisco, Ca
94101.
Many
of the smaller mail order dealers will also be receptive to offers of exchanging their
goods or services for grocery store coupons. Study mail order magazines and try to "make
a deal"! You have nothing to lose since the store coupons you have to trade are
free!

How
to Earn Extra Money Clipping Newspaper Articles
There
are large companies whose sole business is finding and clipping articles from newspapers
and magazines for individuals, companies, organizations, etc. You can earn extra money
doing this too, but on a smaller scale.
You
simply look through your local newspapers and clip all that you think will have appeal to the people mentioned in the article. This includes job promotions, weddings, social events, birth announcements, local school events, etc. If the address does not appear in the article, look it up in the phone book.
Then
write or phone the people mentioned in the article and say that you can send them the article neatly framed or laminated in lifetime plastic for several dollars. Buy inexpensive picture frames from your local variety store, or look in the yellow pages under "picture Frames - Whsle & Mfrs." Or you may have the article laminated in transparent plastic locally, at small cost. To compute your retail price, add the cost of the frame or laminating price, plus your time. If you keep your prices low enough, you may find people that will want more than one copy of each article.
