>your name at #5.  Not a large sum...but wait.  Each person that sent you

>That equals about $50.00 to you.  Then your 50 new agents each post to
>250 newsgroups with you at #3.  That�s 12,500 postings which generates
>about $500.00 to you.  These next 500 agents make 125,000 postings with

>Internet...it works!  ****TIP***  For a better return post to more than
>250 newsgroups initially.  When your name drops off a list simply access
>another message from a newsgroup and start the process over again.
>GENERAL STEPS ON AUTOMATING THE PROCESS:
>Make any necessary changes to this article as explained in step (2) and

>Next, locate the newsgroups you intend to post to (Netscape 3.0 is

>once, enabling you to distribute your message to 1,000s of locations in
