How will I make money?

You make money by selling ads in your licensed Directories. A 16-page Directory can produce income to you (after your printing expense) from $0 to $5,000 and up monthly depending on the pricing of your ads and the the number of ads you sell. A 32 page Directory can produce income to you (after your printing expense) from $0 to $10,000 and up monthly depending on the pricing of your ads and the number of ads you sell.

What are the benefits of owning your own?

• As the owner, you are able to work out of you home because you call on the customer and see them at their place of business.
• There are no employees needed to operate your business. You should be able to handle the sales and deliveries of your Directory. However, some of our publishers do contract with others to help with their deliveries.
• The ideal hours to contact most of your potential customers are between 10:30 and 3:30 each day.
• Your work will include organizing and contacting your clients, "selling" ad space, obtaining information for the ads, delivering, faxing or e-mailing this information to your graphic artist, showing the proof of the ad to the customer, obtaining credit card information for payment, placing the ad in a mock layout for printing position, laying out the index page for each printing, and listing your customers. After this you can rest and enjoy being in business for yourself!

Is there Competition?

Yes! The competition varies from radio, cable TV, local newspapers, to various types of magazines. However, we have found our Directories to be the best value available for your advertisers to reach new customers because of your targeted marketing and controlled circulation.
