THERE'S GOLD INSIDE YOUR PC

THERE'S GOLD INSIDE YOUR PC

A friend once asked, "How was your life before Personal Computers

came along?" Honestly, I can't really recall. It's been more than 15

years since I bought my first computer.

It's very convenient piece of equipment which makes my work a lot

easier.

Everything I've done with it is work related. However, by itself, I've

never really learned how to make money with my PC until I met this

poker player from Las Vegas who earns an average of $15,000a

month with his PC.

But best of all, with his idea, you don't have to know a single thing

about operating a computer to get into this business.

SHAREWARE & PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE

A shareware is a "sample" version of a software. Individuals who

write software usually "give away" copies of shareware so potential

customers can "test drive" the product before they purchase the full

version.

This "try before you buy" has made the shareware concept extremely

acceptable, both by the people who design software as well as tens

of millions of computer owners.

Public Domain (PD) software are simple programs developed

without any copyright or patent assignment. Since it is Public

Domain, any one can use it without having to pay rights to its

designer.

FREE COPIES

The Las Vegas man researched some of the best sharewares and

Public Domain software he could locate. He bundled together 7 to

10 of them into a single floppy disk and started selling them for $20

& up.

He made several disks containing different varieties of sharewares

and PD software. He sold the disks individually and as a group. He

was making so much money you'd think he was doing something

illegal.

One day, competition caught on and he needed a twist. A friend of

his introduced him to me and I developed a new plan built around the

same product he already has. Since other people started selling

similar disks at the same price he was charging, the competition

started eating up his market. He needed something new.

What I did was design a gift certificate offering free software. We

gave certificates to stores, libraries, and mail order houses to give

away to their customers. The certificates offered a collection of

shareware and PD software - FREE OF CHARGE. Just pay a

minimal shipping and handling fee of $8.69. Since it cost him

69Cents to reproduce each disk, he makes an $8 profit per

certificate.
