Envelope Stuffing

Just to set the record straight, all envelope stuffing opportunities are scams. I have been in the business opportunity market for 5 years professionally and 13 years personally and in that time I have never (I repeat NEVER) run across a legitimate envelope stuffing opportunity.

Why? Because they don't exist. What company would pay $1 to $10 for every envelope stuffed when there are machines that will stuff them for about 2 cents each? That is why envelope stuffing is a total scam.

My company has mailed out hundreds of thousands of letters over the last few years and we wouldn't pay that amount. No one would. Mailings that we made $17,000 off would quickly have shrunk to $2,000 because we would have spent $10,000 for the stuffing and $5,000 for the envelopes/sales letters/postage.

I will now explain how every envelope stuffing opportunity works: You see an ad that says you are going to be paid $1 for every envelope that you stuff (sometimes the money varies from $.50 to $5 per envelope). You mail in $29.95 or $39.95 for the system. Your package (actually a thin envelope) arrives a few weeks later.

You open what you receive and it says that you are to take out ads (just like the one you saw) and get other people to send in $1 for the information. When the $1 arrives you mail out the info and even get a commission off the $29.95. Sounds great for about ten seconds until you realize what happened. SCAM.

You just fell for one of the oldest scams in the book: Envelope stuffing. There is really a bigger problem with envelop stuffing. It doesn't work anymore. Yes, you used to be able to get a few people to send you the $1 for info but that is just silly nowadays. People won't send $1 for information on products anymore. The Internet is filled with pages of sales literature for free.

Why would someone pay for a brochure? They wouldn't and they won't. That is why envelope stuffing is a scam.
