Hello and looking for some advice!

Would you be willing to share you email swipe file you use to get the business owners attention?

Cheers

Just did my first one...$900 each time an edition is done...and I will.

Awesome...looking forward to it.

So let's say you want to make at least the same amount of profit you made on your previous 9x12's of $3000 per card.

You would need to do at least 4 of your 6x11's a month to make it about equal earning. I guess I'm not following how this makes anything easier/better. You mentioned the headache of having to deal with all the advertisers, but yet you would still have about the same amount of advertisers no matter which style of card you mail out.

You would have to do one with 14 advertisers to understand, but finding 6 per edition is so much easier than finding 14.

Then you need to chase them down for ad approval...paying via PayPal...it just multiplies the hassle factor.

So now the ads are cheaper...there is no built in competition...easier with 6 vs. 14. So for me...the bottom line is less stress...doesn't make one better than the other...just my preference after having done both.

And you are correct from a financial standpoint. The trick now is to duplicate my success over the next handful of months, to build a sustainable ongoing worthwhile business. Victory for me is having done my first one stress free, and keeping that going.

My new format also seems to be an easier sell...I think business owners like the idea of less ads...bigger ads...more straightforward.

So is the goal to sell more than one card a month?

Or is this just a supplemental thing or are you planning to scale this to a full on business...

Yes...one new edition a month, along with continuing the edition from the month before ongoing...so one this month, 2 next month, 3 in February, etc.

I have a full-time job in the "real world"...so right now I'm doing both.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looking forward to the approach email swipe you use.

I've had good profits sending giant postcards to Home Buyers.

Mine was an 81/2 by 11 split in half with 6 ads on the right hand side of both sides (so coupons could be cut out and not bother ads/coupons on the other side)

I charged a flat fee of $300/mo per participant ($3600/mo) where the average was 120 homes per mo . (I gave exclusives and the offers had to be "Free" or 50% off)

I just noticed the avg home sales in my area were 125 (2014) once again

At one time I had 4 towns going...with very little cost.

Willy.... if you'd like my Mailing List source....New Home Buyers Names.....30 days old...send me an email ([email protected])

Also.....I forgot that I set up a website for NewComers called, "Welcome To Roseburg dot com". This allowed me to add more advertisers for "monthly residuals".

Willy....thanks for pricing info. Thought about outsourcing your email process?

You got it, and no I haven't...something to think about for sure...if I can find a system that delivers my emails at a reasonable cost.
