Pros

Amazing leadership and coaching. I am more than grateful to have been given this opportunity to grow as a publisher and as a person. It is giving me the freedom and independence to be in control of my life both personally and financially. Follow the advise of your leadership. They truly understand how to grow the business and will keep encouraging you to stay orthodox to the presentation in order to grow your business.

Cons

It’s easy to get discouraged with rejection when calling and trying to get through the gatekeeper, but you need to move on and not give up! This is definitely more natural for some people than others, but it’s all about learning to get comfortable with your uncomfortable.

It's All You

Pros

It's work from home, coffee shop, trailer park, whatever you want. As a publisher you own your success, or lack of it. They offer tons of support but everything is turned back to your effort. The product you end up selling is really well done, if you can get it into print. If you are a relentless sales hack, this is probably the place for you to be because for that person it doesn't matter what they are selling and this is probably one of the easiest products to sell.

Cons

It's a strange place, everybody is all smiles all the time. Endless text messages encouraging you to get out there and sell, sell, sell!!! (This job taught me about the left swipe.) Endless conference calls you are expected to be on where the company stars talk about their struggles and how they overcame them and now they are rich, rich, rich!! Your day is pretty much cold calling small businesses and being exposed to their wrath. The reality is I think about 40% of the people that take this on get to the point where they are selling a printed product that is being distributed. At that point you still are not making much, and it can take months to really start making money. The people who succed in this company are those who came from other jobs where they were relentlessly cold calling. Think Cutco Knife Sales Guy, Yellow Page Ads Sales Guy, Life Insurance Sales Guy, Used Car Sales Guy. If you're one of these types, this is probably a gold mine. I guess it's better than Mary Kay?

I'd Highly Recommend the Publisher Position

Pros

There is no better group of people to work with every day. My colleagues and management were incredibly inspiring through their example, advice, and encouragement. Not only that, but I had the opportunity to represent a high-quality product that benefitted local families and businesses. I would recommend this position to anyone seeking a positive work environment and who is wanting to be in a position to do very well financially.

Cons

This is not a salaried position, so, you are not guaranteed anything. Despite this, the training program is so comprehensive and full that it is difficult not to succeed. They are consistently adding and promoting talented, knowledgable, and compassionate leaders who are able to train you almost in a one on one coaching capacity.
