Why My Mag Works

Let me be very clear about this: My Mag works - and the recession has actually been great for local community magazines right across the country! Business has boomed as companies have looked for cheaper and more targetted ways to advertise themselves - which is exactly what we do. 

The whole concept and model has been developed, tried, tested and proven now by over 1,000 people in 6 countries.

Here are some of the reasons why it's been so successful - and why it could work for you, in your neighbourhood:

1. Local businesses are always looking for new and effective ways to promote themselves to their potential customers – and a quality magazine that gives them the opportunity to get their message across to a tightly targeted audience really turns them on.
   
   
2. My Mag is truly local. All advertisers operate in, or close to, the area that it is distributed in. There is strong evidence that truly local services are preferred by the majority of the UK population.
   
   
3. People like it and use it. The magazine is widely read and used by the residents of the area – because it's RELEVANT to them. It only covers their neighbourhood. In effect, people love it BECAUSE it is so local and relevant to them.
   
   
4. Fantastic Value - advertising in your local magazine will cost a business much much less than a local newspaper, say - which is why our magazines have expanded and flourished during the economic downturn.
   

 

Many our advertisers appear month after month – because the magazine works and generates business for them.

Why is that?

What makes My Mag publications so attractive to businesses compared to other, more established
forms of advertising, say?

There are three main reasons:

1. They get results. It's that simple.
   
   
2. Longevity. People keep the magazine and use it for reference during the whole month. It isn´t thrown away each week like a local newspaper, say.
   
   
3. Price. Have you seen how expensive it is for businesses to advertise in local newspapers and Yellow Pages? It's horrendous! Advertising in your magazine is comparatively very, very cheap and it represents incredible value for those businesses whose target market includes the residents of your distribution area.
   
   Because it is such good value, business owners don´t have to think twice about ´giving it a try´. up one thing.

By now you may be thinking:

"Sue, this is great! But, there´s got to be a catch or you wouldn´t be telling me about this opportunity."

Well, there´s no catch, but I will tell you...

The Three True Reasons Why I´m Willing To Share This Secret, And Show You Everything You Need To Know To Be Hugely Successful In This Business...

1. The Market Is Huge! – Think about it: how many hundreds of thousands of businesses are out there? How many clusters of 2,000 - 5,000 homes are there in the UK alone? Do you think I can possibly reach every one of them (and still be at the school gates in time for the boys!?)? No way.



2. It´s often said that, "The best way to get what you want is to help others get what they want." If I can help you reach your goals, then I´m reaching mine too. By letting you in on this opportunity, you make a great income, I´m getting paid to help you... It´s a win-win.



3. There´s really just no good reason not to – I had no desire to create some high priced national franchise, or a huge "distributor network", that´s way too much work. However with my husband's help we've now got a small team working with us who can provide all our 'My Maggers' with the support they need (and I can avoid becoming a full time businesswoman – no thank you! ) What I value most is time with my family remember. I have zero desire to work more than a few hours a week, so my interest lies in finding people that I can help realize their dreams.

It is truly that plain and simple.

Ideal Business Ingredients - A Checklist for You:

When I was struggling to find a job or think of a business that fitted in with my life (and children!) I came up with a list of what I call my ‘Ideal Business Ingredients’. These are the things that I wanted or needed my business to have. I think this list is an invaluable check-list to anyone thinking of starting any business:

Ideal Business Ingredient 1: HUGE DEMAND

For any business to be successful, it must have a product that someone wants and needs. My Mag is a product with a very big market...

Ideal Business Ingredient 2: LOW MAINTENANCE

Who needs to spend all day on the phone servicing some product? None of that here!

Ideal Business Ingredient 3: NO STOCK

Did you really want to fill up your garage, your basement, or half your bedroom with a bunch of products that no one will buy? (Remember Will Smith in the Pursuit of happiness!?) No way.

Ideal Business Ingredient 4: NO EMPLOYEES

Avoid the cost, the hiring headaches, the training…enough said.

Ideal Business Ingredient 5: RESIDUAL INCOME

You do the work once and get paid over and over again. Clients remain clients month after month, year after year. The great results they get from featuring in your magazine will mean that, in many cases, once they start, they won’t want to stop.

Ideal Business Ingredient 6: RESPECTABILITY

This is a win-win business you can be proud of. Your clients make more money. You win with a profitable business and prestige and respect within your community.

Ideal Business Ingredient 7: LOW-COST

One of the cheapest investments you’ll ever make, and your first client means profit month after month after month!

Ideal Business Ingredient 8: Little or NO RISK involved

Rest assured, done properly this business can out-perform anything else out there – despite (and in some cases because of!) “the economy”.

Ideal Business Ingredient 9: RAPID PAYBACK

Many 'My Maggers' are recouping their initial investment in just a few short weeks - the record is 10 days.

The truth is, in many businesses it’s hard to find a single one of these “must have ingredients”. (If you’re lucky you might get 3 or 4.)  My Mag has all of them, and that’s why it’s such a powerful, profitable, flexible proposition.
