How to Get Paid to Stuff Envelopes
- 1). Contact local print shops or publishing houses that distribute sales pamphlets and other information through direct mail. Ask them if they need anyone to help process their mail orders by stuffing and addressing envelopes.
- 2). Search online ad directories, such as Craigslist, and look at flyer postings at local businesses for people who distribute certain products, such as cosmetics, cleaning products or weight-loss products. Contact these individuals, and ask them if they have a direct mail side to their business. Offer your services stuffing envelopes, and negotiate a fee per envelope.
- 3). Market yourself as more than an envelope stuffer to get the best opportunities. Since most legitimate opportunities will involve sales information for direct mail companies, consider reading books or taking a course on copywriting or graphic design. If you don't have these skills, try teaming up with someone who does. If you can offer to write and design sales letters, pamphlets and brochures as well as stuff them into envelopes and mail them, direct mail marketers may be more likely to hire you.
