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.

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".

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.
