MAKE MONEY CLIPPING NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Many organizations, businesses, and just individuals have a

great interest in what is put in print about them. They

constantly seek information as to their "public image". This

widespread interest provides a good opportunity to operate a

clipping business.

You will need access to many newspapers, local and perhaps

national as your business grows. Go through each paper and clip

out articles, photos, etc., which mention some person or

business of local or national prominence. Keep an alphabetical

file and accumulate clippings on the various individuals and

enterprises.

When you have accumulated sufficient clippings, photos and other

information, write to the individuals and firms advising them

you have a collection of articles about them which you will send

upon receipt of so much money per article, etc. Many of those

you contact should order. Also clip out research reports on various

subjects which may be of interest to professional people.

Retail merchants are often interested in advertisements that are

being used by their competitors, hoping to be able to dream up

better or competing ads. They may also be interested in

advertisements featuring different product lines to give them

promotional and advertising ideas for their own products.

Information on marriages, divorces, births, deaths, new

businesses, etc., are also of interest to many different kinds

of organizations.

You can use the "Directory of Periodicals" at the library to get

names of magazines and publishing companies when you have

expanded to the point you can use clippings form national media.

Don't clip or send copyrighted materials. Clips from magazines

are most always copyrighted. Newspaper articles are not usually

copyrighted unless it has UP/AP or other codes (United Press...

Associated Press, etc.). Syndicated features and cartoons are

all copyrighted.
