Monday Mailout

I send a mailout every Monday morning with tips and advice to all my Mags to Riches subscribers.  Almost every week the topic hits home with someone and I’ll get a mail saying ‘fantastic – that’s a real help’. Anyway this week’s was about a piece of software I’ve used in my business for the [...]

New website for my magazine

I offer a website in with the package for the work from home business that is Mags to Riches. I’ve been so busy helping other people though I hadn’t got round to finishing my own. One thing I did struggle with when I started is that I’m trying to deliver one website to two different [...]

Secrets of Success in three minutes

I was sent a link to this video which I thought was excellent.  There’s so much material out there on being successful.  In fact there are many people who have a business purely telling people how to be successful.  But here it is summed up in just three minutes – easy watching and sound advice.

Assured income month after month

I’ve been overhauling a section in the Mags2Riches program explaining how to get your customer database set up so that you have accurate information and can use it to put marketing programs in place. In the process of doing this I had a bit of a tidy up of my own databases, one of which [...]

We love small businesses – and they love us.

A new business startup called me this week to ask if she could pop in to discuss her advertising.  Most of our business is done over the phone and email, and I already knew that Alena was a one-person business so wasn’t sure what she would need to discuss but I am always happy to [...]

One industry bad apple spoils it for all

I had an interesting conversation with a new enquirer for Mags 2 Riches today.  She had been looking at a ‘rival’ magazine start up system (the quotes around the word rival is because I never lose a sale to them provided people find me before they’ve signed up). This other system and the company that [...]

Our ‘Work from home’ writer

We’ve taken on a new writer recently who is supplying us with a monthly article for all of our Mags to Riches customers on the subject of working from home.  Ted Bruning is a journalist who has a home office while his wife goes out to work and writes a light hearted and amusing piece [...]

Why local advertising cuts through

This is truly the age of information overload.  It seems these days we are bombarded with messages from every angle – billboards, van sides, buses, screens on buses, TV, radio, newspapers, leaflets, the internet. But this doesn’t mean that we are actually getting more information into our heads!  There is a limit to how much [...]

Franchises – security or handcuffs?

I don’t sell Mags to Riches as a franchise, and I never will.  But I noticed with some of my callers that there was a bit of a feeling that something about franchise opportunites that made this a better solution and therefore it was worth paying more.  Here’s my view of what franchises say are [...]

How lovely!

Now I have to say I do get a lot of calls from people saying how much they enjoy my magazine.  Being quite British I am inclined to rather modestly shuffle from one foot to another (which is not easy when the I’m sat at my desk), politely thank them and secretly think ‘you’re just [...]
