Publisher of the Wilshire Book Company & Legendary Mailorder King, Melvin Powers Interview  



Dale King: Today I'm interviewing the publisher of the Wilshire Book
Company, and legendary mailorder king, Melvin Powers. Hello Melvin, how are you?

Melvin Powers: In 1995 I put up my first website at http://mpowers.com.

Dale King: Melvin, tell my readers what a typical day is like for
Melvin Powers.

Melvin Powers: I'm in my office almost every day. I read my email and get a report on sales for the day. I concentrate on how we can sell more books and whom to contact. It's great to open new accounts. I also concentrate in getting our books translated into foreign languages. It's a wonderful source of income that pays dividends every year.

Also, I am always looking for people to sell books. We drop ship all of our books for those interested in making extra money from their website and direct mail. We have drop ship customers that have been with us for as long as 25 years and more. The system works perfectly.

Dale King: Some Internet Marketing experts advise newbies to steer clear of certains areas of Internet Marketing, like selling e-books on how to make money, advertising services, SEO services,copywriting, etc., because those areas are too competitive. Do you agree with that assessment?

Melvin Powers: There is always room for good products and serevices. Don't listen to negative comments. Look at your advertising copy. Does it make it? Be like a detective to solve the problem if there is one. If necessary get some professional help from those who have made it.

Dale King: How is Internet Marketing different now, as opposed to when you first got started online?

Melvin Powers: It's an even better opportunity now, since there are many more potential customers are online and many more coming online every day.
