How I Got Started
[Editor note: This article was written 5 years ago.] Hi, this is Linda from Toledo, Ohio. I was just laid off at Toledo Scale and saw an advertisement to start a local FunFacts News business. I had no experience with publishing. But, I went to their website anyway and filled out the application. Roy Johnson called me the next day and explained everything, including how they provide all the training and instructions. He told me that even with my little experience, all I needed was a computer and internet connection. He also explained that the job consisted of mainly passing out brochures and giving away free advertising to local businesses plus answering their questions. I said, "Sure, I can do that." I asked Roy about the price for the business because I was just laid off. He told me that since I was laid off, only small down is required. The rest is due in 30 days but can be delayed since I was laid off. Roy furnished me with the marketing literature and instructions that I needed. I read everything. Roy called me again to make sure everything was OK for me, and I started the next week. It sure was easy for me. Of course I knew some of the local businesses that I visited. I would just walked in, talk to the manager or owner, gave them the brochure that I pass out, tell him about the free full page advertising on the internet that they can get, and made an appointment to see them later when they had more time to talk to me. The brochure that I passed out does the selling for me. All I do is answer their questions and help them fill out the order form. A lot of the businesses keep asking about the free full page advertising. I just tell them, "Yes, it's really free and it's really a full page ad for your business." Anyway, I got started and paid the rest of the money for the business within 30 days. I sure like this business. I get to know a lot of people and businesses in town. I make a good income yet I only work part time. I mostly like this business because it's all mine and I can now plan my own future. I am the local publisher of a wonderful publication. It sure is nice. |
Student [Editor note: This article was written 5 years ago.] I am Robert, a student at USC in California It seems I always need money. Fortunately, I read in my college newspaper the advertisement for a local FunFacts News business. I am a business major, so I jumped on it. This is a perfect business for me. I quickly got my buddies to help me and we all made some serious money. Here’s how we started my FunFacts News business. First, we divided the work up. Barbara took the FunFacts News advertising job since she is a journalism major. Jordan took the website design sales because he knows computers. I took both the advertising and the website design sales because I know everything. We flooded the local business area with our marketing brochures that they designed for us. I also got some of my college buddies to pass out flyers to the businesses all over town. Barbara spent a lot of time passing out the brochures for the free full page advertising. The FunFacts News people designed our flyers and brochures just the way I wanted them. That, along with the free advertising that we give away provided everything we needed. Barbara got a lot of orders for the free advertising. Plus, she also got a lot of orders for advertising in our FunFacts News. I think it really was the free internet advertising that got the orders for her. Jordan concentrated on selling the website design service to the same businesses that Barbara offered free advertising. That’s because they already knew us from the free advertising. It’s a great system. Give away some free advertising - and BAM, hit them with some great prices on special website designs that also promotes their business with plenty of internet advertising. We’re all over the place. Their business can advertise in my FunFacts News that is distributed all over town. They get a free full page advertisement on the internet. And, they get a low cost website design that also includes advertising and promotion of their business for 12 months. They like us. And we help their business. Just to make sure of things, I stop by their business at least once a month to see if they need revisions to their advertisements. It’s a lot of fun. Imagine, I am still in college and I already own a successful business. |
