Become a Publisher

While every area is unique and each of us have our own talents, we’ve developed a platform that has multiple revenue streams.

• First, there is the Featured Local Experts program,
• Second, premium placement on the local event calendar,
• Third, there is business directory featured listing fees,
• Fourth, banner advertising,
• Fifth, interview fees through both sponsored articles as well as podcasts.

Each one of these elements individually has the potential to generate $1,000 to $3,000 in revenue per month. This calculates out to $5,000 to $10,000 per month in gross profits. Bear in mind that these are not isolated, individual sales, the goal is to provide each business with a bundle of services with a value of nearly $1,000 each per month.

So, you’re generating $5,000 to $10,000 per month in Gross Revenue. How much can you expect to pocket for yourself and your family? Let’s break it down.

Can you earn more? Of course! You can build your reputation in your local area, become an invaluable resource via your local chamber of commerce, networking groups and civic organizations. Each of these activities will lead to more sales and more commissions. You can also expand into other local areas (assuming they’re still available) and potentially double your commissions each time to expand into a new area.

Choosing your first area is important to your success. First, you should have history there or solid business connections. Second, it’s fairly close to where you live, ideally, it should be your neighborhood or at least within the city where you live. The licensing fees should be the least of your concern, as the greater the population the greater the earning potential. However, if you live in an area with well-defined neighborhoods then we can create a Local Edition for that neighborhood.

Licensing fees are based upon the size of your market. Each city is unique but we’ve found that larger cities have significant neighborhood areas that can be segmented out to create a smaller opportunity.

Priced By Defined Area Population

For areas with populations large than 60k we offer special negotiated rates.

Ongoing training and support is critical to your success. We provide books, online training and other materials and we’re available via telephone, email and skype. Training includes core social media marketing techniques, interviewing skills training, software and web site training. Training materials are available 24/7 via our publisher portal plus questions will be answered via email, telephone or group call within 24 hours.

Support Costs

We offer 3 levels of service depending upon the level of support. Initially, to ensure your success, we require that the first 3 months of support be at the VIP level to help set a foundation for your success. Thereafter, you have the choice to adjust your level of support as needed. However, we require all of our publishers to keep the Basic Level of support while they’re actively running their local editions.

Having an online magazine site would be pointless without great content! Each Local Edition comes packed with features to drive local traffic to your site. As each of the items below are promoted in social media, more and more organic traffic will begin following and with more traffic brings more opportunities for revenue. Plus, with great content and organic traffic comes search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo all providing great search engine ranking, thus, creating even more traffic.
