I have enabled 100's to start profitable franchise style magazines and newspapers often costing 100K and more with no fees other than paying for my instructional time. I teach entrepreneurs to publish and produce their own generic targeted mail advertising medias. All style and types. Most will emulate my own successful business model (Discount Clipper) which is a direct mailed targeted advertising vehicle encompassing advertising from all types of businesses. Similar in nature to the Clipper magazine.
