The USPS Disagrees - Chain Letters are Illegal
Frank Martin
you disguise it. Plus, most people will not participate reliably in
such a thing, even if you send money to people, there is a good chance
they won't send money to you, or they won't continue the chain. If you
attempt such activity you will LOSE MONEY rather than gain money, plus
it is illegal.
Here's what the United States Postal Service has to say:

3. Check out http://ebookvilla.com/ ---even if you can't make perfect
sites, you can always make a website that looks at least that good, if
you really have trouble making websites. By the way, I got into
affiliate marketing (and am definately NOT A PRO, because my Nephew -
Matt, has made thousands of dollars selling all sorts of things on the
net.) There really is money to be made online - chain letters aren't
it though.

7. See www.webmastersreference.com, it's webmaster - Sean Burns,
definately knows what he's doing... he's been designing sites for a
long time and is honest and hardworking... and might be the next Corey
Rudl, Yanik Silver, etc. His webmaster reference site makes the whole
affiliate marketing game so much more REALISTIC. He has written
articles and uses them to get people to his website that know he
know's what he's talking about... so they will be more likely to buy
his current product "Search Engine Rankings Revealed" and the ones to
come.
