About Skedaddle Press

There are a number of license-able papers out there, but we feel we're doing something a bit different. We have 4 monthly papers to choose from that you don't typically see as free papers as they're more magazine topics. A food paper, exercise, pets, and a celebrity news paper. Readers pay a lot of money to read magazines with these topics, why wouldn't they pick up a free version? These papers aren't 2-12 pages, they're 48-62 page tabloid papers. At no cost we do just about everything for you; we create the content and format it, we insert your ads in the paper, we create the ads for your advertisers if they don't have their own, we create & maintain your social media sites, we send the completed paper to a printer near you, and we help promote your paper through local live events. You just find your own advertisers, locations to accept the papers, & pay the printer & distribute. This can be done from home. This also comes with a money back option, we will buy the license back from you at the original cost if after 6 published issues it's not working out for you. You literally have nothing to lose. Every edition has the same content and look, like syndication. You can have some original content of your own included if you wish. With cities/towns that have a population up to 100,000 people your territory is the entire city/town. Larger cities territories are broken into North, South, West, and East. So there'll never be more than 4 license holders in one city.

About SportsXpress

SportsXpress is a grassroots, multi-media publishing platform dedicated exclusively to the community sports lifestyle! We’re all about the athletes, their teams, coaches, families, volunteers and fans. We publish real life stories and include all ages and skill levels.

Our business plan was derived from the evident lack of coverage of local organized sports. Through discussions with numerous groups and associations we also discovered those involved in local sports view it as more of a "lifestyle" - an important part of their identity. Later, we discovered the local sports scene is one of the largest lifestyle segments in any community and across the country.

In the spring of 2008 we launched a test model and have been developing the playbook ever since.

We are excited to invite you to be a part of this distinct lifestyle - one that we call a “hidden economy”, and look forward to working with you on developing your winning game plan.
