Default For those interested in "Coffee News" type publications

This was originally posted in a thread started in 2007. I moved the NEW information up to be a standalone post.

In my searches I have found Coffee News, Flying Cow, The Free Weekly Jive, and The Patience News. Then there is Tidbits, The Funny Paper and hundreds of shoppers. Aside from the shoppers, all franchises or business opportunities. I would sure like to learn of any others. Especially any independents out there. {From a past post}

NEW info:

Another great company offering templates is The Laughable News. Their costs are way lower, they have awesome content, and you can even change the name of the newsletter to whatever you want!

Gordon...

Keep an Eye and an open mind on a recent Startup I posted about in another thread...

It's Not a "Coffee News" related type publication...

But it could very well Be with the right innovative Thinking... A little "tweak" & "twist" here and there on the overall idea...

The business model in general could be Applied to Endless Niche marketplaces and consumer interests...

Unlimited possibilities of Negotiating all kinds of deals regarding Specialized info, content, Advertisers etc. etc...

Definitely something worth considering in this Ever-changing world As large mass topic publications are slowly starting to shut down a variety of their publications in exchange for Expanding on their online web presence...

And Focusing on specialized Niche publications...

the printed blog...

Phil,
YOU are our first,
Seeds of Wisdom Forum HALL OF FAME MEMBER (I should probably tell Dien, I'm sure he'll agree though).

You have posted more useful and actionable content than anyone else I can think of on ANY forum. And it has been appreciated.

MORE importantly, it has been acted upon, I assure you. This "coffee post" bump was from a post almost 2 years ago, which built on the idea that has been around here for almost a decade...the simple, easy to publish, down and dirty, quick and easy to do PUBLICATIONS.

And with the demise of daily newspapers, the time is ripe for many local papers to go to a daily blog format, maybe I'll tell the Akron Beacon Journal how to do it...or more likely, the Palm Beach Post.

Phil, I want to personally THANK YOU for all your time and energy spent helping ALLof us to keep our thinking caps on and see the positive potential that others overlook.


AND yes, I'll be twisting and tweaking my HOTSHEETS until they take on a life of their own, thanks to YOU and your great research and generous posting.

THANKS.

Anyone object to Phil being in our Hall of FAME? I think not.

Gordon Jay Alexander

Hi Gordon,

I totally agree with you. Phil gets my vote to be in the SowPub Hall of Fame.

Over the years he has provided the forum with great post.

However, I believe Phil will join with me in saying...you...Gordon Jay Alexander deserve to be among the first to be inducted into the SowPub Hall of Fame along with Phil.

I cannot begin to tell you the $5, $10, $20, $100 and “free” stuff I have accumulated by using what you have shared with everyone on the forum. Chatteling still works. Thank You.

The forum will not be the same without you, however, time marches on, and so do we.

My Best 2 U,

LindaC

Gordon,

Thank you very much for All your ongoing Kind words... Greatly Appreciated!

And Thanks for All the Great stuff you continually Share... Past... Present and Future...

Looking Forward to your retirement... And Seeing/Sea-ing in What you all Come up with and Concoct from the Beaches of Florida...

Always Glad to help a little on the research side of things and offer a few Quick picks, ideas and my sometimes Weird observations...

Although over the years, Especially in the earlier days...

Many other SowPub members including Dien and yourself have put in Endless time and Content into Growing SowPubs... Of course things have Changed slightly in the 9 years or so...

Another summary type Publication worth considering Once again upon retirement...

It just Might become a NY Times Best seller... On it's way into the Hall of FAME...

Written off of the Beaches of Florida and possibly blended into GJA's REAL, mailed via USPS, stuffed in an envelope HOTSHEETS...

Talking about Years passing by and Years soon to Arrive... Think Long and Hard as You Contemplate What This Means as we Move a little closer to 2012...

Unlimited business related ideas & possibilities if you Get in Quickly... 2012 Domaining... 2012 Publications... 2012 Specialized products etc. etc...

The Amazing thing about the internet... Just like with all the Quick Study guides out there...

Digging out and Finding particular web business models gives you a Great List of Do-able duplicatable options & opportunities to consider in whole or in part...

One more Intriguing idea to add and include into the back burner regarding Publications...

Phil

Or more than likely, a sharp dude with an eye toward the future!!

I haven't gotten to Edgar Cayce yet in my "bioPosts", but in 1969 I spent many days at the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach and that was the first time I heard about 2012 and the Mayan Calendar and Edgar Cayce's many musings.

POINT BEING. I have a 2012 HOTSHEET ready to launch. My very own countdown to Armegeddon.

I'll bring my "bioPost" up to date today to at least 1972. I think I left off in 65.

Also, those old archives and posts from the older forums, which go back to 1995, will show a very consistent position that I've had and maintained, and some of the stories about the people I'm currently discussing will take on deeper hues as I show how they impacted my thinking.

2012. Its coming, and I plan on being around when it gets here.

Gordon

Figured you'd be on the ball on that one...

In case you haven't used the following keyword in your research...

Or if others are interested...

I was reading the thread from 07, great info, by the way. I found this and thought it was interesting - it is from coffee news

You have to scroll down to the bottom under "a common question"

oh, I guess I can't put a link - if you want to see it go to coffeenewsnet .com/whyheadoffice .html (minus the extra spaces I added)

The guy handling the "Table Trivia" publication in my area has been doing this for a few years now...and he always fills the 8-Page, laminated booklet (that sits on restaurant tables) with 28 to 30 ads....in EVERY TOWN he works.

Here's the site;
http://www.dashcorp.biz/table-1.htm

Actually....in every town that I hit with one of MY Ad Programs.....I use his advertisers as my "Tap" list. "Advertisers...Advertise!"

Don Alm.....just finishing "Ads on Prescription Bags"...where 10 of the advertisers in the Table Trivia program....also...bought a space in my program.

And....5 of the Table Trivia advertisers have also bought a space on my "Restaurant Ad Mugs"
