Hi Donna, thanks for replying to my thread. I'm glad things are going well for you. I'd love to send you a message, to connect with you, but for some reason I can't.

Donna "The Webmistress" replied to D.'s discussion 'How is it going?'

It's going great my way. Better than expected. I decided not to put my magazine online and that has actually helped pique more interest and make people to go to the stores to get it. My mag is free, but we still have the ad…

The first thing Ad Agencies want from me is a Media Kit. They want to see the demographics, income level, circulation etc.

I use a site call www.billmyclients.com - It's really easy and keeps things in order. I can also take payments over the phone with their credit card using PayPals virtual terminal. We just launched our publication in April. It's called…

Hi Donna! How are things going for you in PA? Any new news with your magazine? I'm beginning to consider the option of creating a digital edition first and then slowly transition to a print edition after I've tested the market, but the…

Sounds like you have more than just this location to get your magazine. You have 2 drivers so they must be taking your magazine elsewhere and leaving it, right? If so then it does sound like you're covering your distribution basis. Free…

You must live where I live! I have the same issue. I don't want it to be like a take over or like I am stepping on toes, but so many people complain about it and there is a need. Oh we have to talk! Email me at soulpitt@gmail.com Donna

Kaolin Fire replied to Donna "The Webmistress"'s discussion 'Distributing my magazine through a mail center'

I would love to have a friend with a mailing center. That sounds wonderful! :) You're paying for postage, do you know what her fees on top of that usually are? I'd say take her out for a fancy dinner or something ;) And of course keep…

I work out of my home.I am planning to have my 10,000 copies of the magazine delivered to my friend's mailing center. In the magazine it will have an ad for her mailing center that mentions - they are…See More
