WANTED: Your Participation - The info in this post could make you money

Duane,

Thanks for mentioning that book and for your input.

Something which I was kind of Expecting to see mentioned, but which wasn't and maybe because of my "some people don't want to write a hotsheet" comment, was about Newsletters and other Periodicals.

Granted, there has been a Lot of Hypey Claims about the humongous amounts of cashola which can be made in the Newsletter Publishing Business - made by people who have Newsletter Courses to sell, or who wrote that in their own Money Making Newsletter. And that could put people off.

However, despite the reality of the difficulties in getting a Profitable Periodical off the ground, there are other way to make money in the periodical business besides creating your own and writing content. Such as...

Sell Subscriptions - similar to dropshipping (For local and international publications)

Do Editing and Layout from home. I know a guy who has a Glossy Puiblication in the newsstands. All he does is send the content to his Layout Guy (LG). The LG puts it all into the Template (he uses Adobe InDesign, the follow on from Pagemaker). A bit of emailing back and forth - and a visit from the publications owner - and it's all sorted out. The LG then emails the final draft to the printer. The printer prints a bunch and boxes them. The distribution company picks up the copies from the printer and distributes them into the newsagents. The Distributor collects the money, takes their cut for distributing, and pays the ower the rest.

I'm not suggesting to do all that. But if you have the skills with the software, you could certainly offer to do Layout work for people who provide the content. And if it is a non-glossy subscription publication, even have it printed for them, and even mailed. Effectively becoming the Order Fulfillment people for the publisher.

Order Fulfillment. If you don't Handle the printing for the publisher, the publisher could Ship to you one or two boxes of copies which you then send to subscribers as requested by the publisher. Ideal for international publications.

And in addition to the above... some MLM PRODUCTS - NOT the Opportunity but the PRODUCT. They are already geared up for mailorder selling. The trick would be to Find a Good one.
