Start a Productive Home Business...With No Startup Costs

By Pj Carson


Would you like to start your own business without the start-up costs, franchise fees, vendor costs and essentially begin overnight and start making money the very next day?

The most difficult decision in establishing your own home based business is actually regarding how much money you have to launch it. Have you got enough?

All right, how about NO MONEY for start-up costs? Actually, with initial paper and ink expenses, it's realistically around $5.00; but we'll stretch this small truth to make the point.

This also isn't fiction. There's an influx of new businesses sprouting up across America dependent upon a centuries-old idea. You're most likely not going to believe what it is, specially in this era of online and high-tech philosophy: Start your own private home business via publishing your own newspaper.

Did you know that you can print 2,500 newspapers for $245.00? Or 7,500 for $409.00? Or 15,000 for $599.00?

You could. This basically means, for 2,000 newspapers, that when you sell two advertisements as part of your newspaper for $125.00, you will have practically paid for your newspaper, and the rest is essentially pure income! And, you spend nothing in advance up until you buy your newspaper!

The main daily and weekly newspaper corporations are dying rapidly, and everybody knows it. Nonetheless the "niche" newspaper is flourishing, and doing just great, thank you, and broadening in a variety of ways all over.It is an intriguing fact that during the history of the newspaper, short-run newsprint has never been offered before for the average person. It's true. Businesses now recognize that by utilizing the short-run newspaper there are millions of uses to numerous businesses, institutions, church's, non-profits and even people young and old. For the first time this service is now not only available, but in some instances these companies feature templates, online graphic programs, syndications, stands, direct mailing plus a host of other services. Content is available for usage as part of your newspaper, as well.

Take an additional example: You desire to print an 8 page newspaper, which could comfortably support 35 ads as well as have plenty of area for articles. The price of 5,000, eight page, COLOR newspapers from a website like Make My Newspaper, is $599.00. Suppose you sell your advertisements for only $100.00 per ad, your total revenue is $3,500.00. Besides gas, printer ink, shipping as well as other minor expenses (which you don't pay until after you've begun), you are clearing more than $2,500 per edition. Merely upping your ad price to $150.00 each, and your whole revenue is $5,250.00!

That's a living, folks, and an exceptionally profitable home business. And in case you're a school or non-profit or organization, that's a whole lot of extra revenue.

In addition, there's no waiting...print an example of your concept and contracts, and merely go out the door and begin selling advertisements. The only additional thing you need to know is the place where your newspaper is likely to be passed out. Eating places, clinical agencies, libraries, grocers and retail stores everywhere are often pleased to carry a fresh, community newspaper...100 % free.

The Internet offers vast amounts of information, but companies everywhere already have come to understand that print media is not being replaced. People prefer specific things to read in their homes, or over a cup of coffee...things for which they are interested in. They might not pick up a local paper ever again, however they WILL bring home to read a newspaper for puppy buffs, or restoring methods, or faith based beliefs, or community information, or ceramic advice, or political beliefs, and on and on and on.

It's an interesting and rewarding home business method, and different from the infomercials or commercials that require your money beforehand. With a short-run newspaper you basically pay no capital up front and begin a business. And you can do so in areas which you yourself hold an interest in too, becoming an essential component of your neighborhood and living the American dream...as a prosperous business owner.

Plus it cost you no money up front to do this.
