Default Would love to hear more! :)

Hi Gordon,

For a lot of people, politics is just stress and aggravation...!

Could you explain more about your project?

I definitely could be interested!

Best wishes,

Dien

If you want to thrive in today's over politicized environment, get involved with a passion project or deep dive into one of your fav subjects.

So. I am going to do a little Mail Order project next month. Have a circulation of 5000 for our HOTSHEET. It will be classifed ads. If interested in a small classified ad for home business and money maker opps from home, let me know.

Deadline for the ad is Aug. 21. Somewhere between 25 -50 words per inch at 10 dollars for an inch slot.

Come full circle have I, back to my roots, mail order keeps my head OUT of the political theater and away from the shills of ideology.

Gordon

Default We pushed it back a month to do more research.

I've talked about the circular pubs before, in the archives I have several discussions about these "classified" hotsheets.
We were going to try Sept. But, and thanks to Glenn for his 1 question from Dan Kennedy, I am going to be asking that question of some of the established advertisers, and see what happens.

Our thinking was/is, if we can sell 8 out of 24 ads to cover the costs, then we have 10-15 slots to sell our own stuff, like some of my reports or hotsheets.

We still have to experience the slop and mess, so we pushed it back to Oct. to afford us time to do DUE DILIGENCE, and now that I armed with the magic question, it may determine whether or not we commit to actually testing it out the last quarter of the year.


This is a small niche market for people who like to do mail order type, kitchen table stay at home things, and covers a wide swath of biz opportunities. You may remember I ran a full page ad in the 90's, I'M BUYING, and maybe will re do that one, due to the AI ability to locate corporate chattels much easier today.

I'll keep the forum posted about further advertising possibilities after I find the ONE person from each of the current advertisers willing to offer a testimonial, and I can discern is not a bird dog shill for anyone.
