Three ways to publish
Publishing models
Same magazine, same quality, same exclusivity. What changes is who sells the advertising and who keeps the revenue.
Local Leaders

We sell the adverts and arrange all the editorial. For a set affordable fee per issue, we produce the content, design the publication, sell the ads, print the magazine and distribute it 'through-the-door' of every household in your target area. You dominate your target area, gain many more local instructions and block your competitors.

Income Generator

For a set affordable fee per issue, we do everything except sell the adverts. This option lets you sell the advertising to friendly local businesses in your area, with you keeping all of the revenue. The costs are covered by advert sales, so you have your own publication for FREE — and you can sell above the rate card and make a profit.

Revenue Partner
We jointly sell — then split the profits 50/50
We work out a custom per-issue fee to cover production costs, then we both sell adverts in the publication. Once costs are covered we go 50/50 on the profits. We also guarantee that production costs will be covered by advertising sales, so you're never out of pocket — that's free marketing plus a share of the revenue.
