I can make one on a comp. and print off a copy, but how do I go to like a library or kinko's or w/e and get it to make me a bunch of copies if I don't have much cash, I heard there are ways with magnets or pins or something, if you have any links can you help me, also ideas for flyers would be good, I am going back to school soon so I want to start posting up Anarchist/Communist type flyers around,
Thanks

Your best bet is to find a friend or something or bust in your school and copy a bunch. You probably have friends who work somewhere where you can use a copy machine. Then you just go copy a bunch of flyers.

when you go to kinkos put a magnet on the counter, but take it off and let a few count.

if you are in austraila, the green party will let you print off as much as you like for free. hard earned tax dollars pay for it on your behalf ;)

in new zealand i used to go down to the local dole office and say that i wanted to copy my resume to hand out to businesses in town, then print off whatever flier i had. hard earned tax dollars would pay for it on my behalf :P

universities often have a student copy shop, where you can copy anything for very little money - you may have to be a student / get a student to do it on your behalf to be allowed to use this service though

and of course, making your fliers double sided means that you use half as much paper!

I'm in highschool still and for us at least, printing is free. my advice would be my plan as well, save the flyers to whatever medium and take them to your local highschool and print out as many as you want on their paper.

It worked like a charm.

Using the copier costs a dime but printing is free, no one pays attention, mostly because there are several printers around the schooland people always print off random shit to the wrong printer and it just sits there. the school could make a fortune if they charged for printing, but they raise the prices of food instead.

What to put on a leaflet?

Well, make sure you balance information with slogans and art, for the leaflets to be well received.

And also make sure you include links to further infomation. If the leaflet doesn't lead on, its a dead end.

What you actually put on the leaflet depends what you want it to be about. The basic arguments for a stateless classless society? and the arguments against a Capitalist society?

That might work, you could put links to Rev-left :rolleyes:

Sinse this is a question on doing something yourself; I will move it to the DIY subforum.
