Waiting Rooms

Supplying fresh magazines every month to Doctors waiting rooms and charging a fee is a great idea. However I was unable to secure enough free magazines to go ahead with the business.


Just my experience and this business may work well for others.

Why wait for free mags?

Create some folders that go around each mag -- the top half of the cover of each outer folder is clear plastic -- to show the title of the mag.

The bottom half of each cover is an ad for a local biz.

You get $ from the local biz's to be on the folders' covers -- that (more than?) pays for the mags.

Maybe?

Just an idea.

Why dont you become a magazine subscription agent and get the magazines at cost charge the doctors office $25.00 month put them on direct deposit or pay pal. You can give them 15 magazines a month your cost will be around $15.00 month and the rest is all profit. Here is the link to sign up to be an agent http://www.subscriptionagency.com/list.cfm hope that helps you out.

Hi Mark,

Out of the people that have tried this program only two wrote and said they had a problem getting magazines. In the report I show a number of ways to get free magazines. I have had a few that tried one recycling center and gave up. After I did a search in their area and found 20 or more recycling centers they were able to secure the mags they needed.

I also give them a list of sites to get free magazines subscriptions. And tell them to search out other sites. When you do a search for "free magazines" you will come up with millions of hits.

Here is just one.

Look at the catagories on the left hand side. Under each catagory there are hundreds of free subscriptions you can get for free.

Like any business if you run into a problem you have to find a way around it. In the above responses are a few answers but not all the answers. Look for answers not problems and you will find the way.

Also like any business you have to do some work to get to your final goal. No one program will work exactly the same in ALL areas and for ALL people. Think it out and find THE way to make it work in your area.

Best of success,

Skip

Thanks Skip for the tips.

I am still pursuing the business but at this point I have not secured magazine sources which is the main ingredient to the business. The concern I have getting the free subscriptions is they are going to want a telephone number and obviously an address to send the magazines. The address is not a problem, I can rent a box from UPS store but I do not want to give out my home phone number and be called constantly to subscribe. They will give free subscriptions for so long and then will call to sell it.

I think it is a great business idea that I need to iron out a few things and secure magazines sources.

Thanks
Mark
