Pros
You will be able to learn as you begin the process of making money in this Publisher (or sales rep) position. You will have BVM doing all the heavy-lifting of designing your magazine, mailing to homes and providing all the sales materials, with your responsibility being selling advertising sponsorships to businesses large and small in your community. This company is part of the future of print marketing.
Cons
Being disciplined and plugging into the training and process created by BVM will be the biggest adjustment, but the training and help is first class. The product, process and the highly ethical, hard working staff at BVM is there to help you succeed. I guess if you need a paycheck for a few of the first months, while building your initial ads that pay for the magazine, this wouldn't be for you. But then you can really make money.
