Why, the end result, of course!
I chose to start a golf publication because:
(1) There was not one in my area. There was a
need for one. There was no competition.
(2)It was a profitable niche of sophisticated,
affluent buyers.
(2) I enjoyed playing golf (golf is like sex..
I'm not real good at either one....but I'm
not going to give either up.
Now the benefits of a golf publication is:
(1) I can play golf everyday, absolutely FREE!
(2) I go to 25-30 golf tournaments every
month, eat all the shrimp, steak, BBQ,
they can cook, and flirt with a lot of
very pretty woman who love to have their
photo taken
(Some even suggest modeling:)
(3) I can wear shorts, loud Hawaiian shirts,
& almost anything except a shirt & tie!
BUT....My orginal reason to start a
publication was so that I could advertise
my own 'I Buy Houses" business for FREE!
So,...If I had to do it all over again ,
the only thing that I would change would
be that I would publish a FSBO Magazine!
That way I would be talking with 100-150
folks a month that would be:
(1) Interested in selling their property
(2) Would pay me to help them sell the
properties that I didn't want to add
to my portfolio!
So, osirus, learn from my misguided attempts and kill two birds with one stone.....start a FSBO
publication!
