Hello from Phil

[01530]

Hi - just joined this forum and very impressed. Currently in full time employment but already running free magazine part time, and developing contacts for some consultancy work when employment ends this year.

Hope to find time to contribute as often as I can.

Welcome Phil - I hope that you have better luck with your free magazine than I did with my free local newspaper

Hi Ian - I'd be interested to hear about any specific issues you had. I started this in September and it's paying for itself which is probably the best I can expect given it's part time. I have had good feedback and it's getting known in the area now, so I think it has a lot of potential when I can devote more time to it.

Thanks for the welcome, by the way.

Phil

hi and welcome

is your free ezine local or national ?

[01530]

To answer the last two questions in one, the magazine is a directory of businesses which serve the 01530 dialling code area, which is most of North West Leicestershire and a little bit of South Derbyshire. It's not an ezine - it's off-line & delivered by yours truly (great way of keeping fit!). I also do a flyer delivery service in conjunction with the directory. It's a good form of off-line networking, too, as I get quite a few referrals/introductions from existing advertisers.

Thanks for the welcomes and interest - see you around.

Phil
