How To Break Into The Directory Publishing Business

Home Based Business Opportunities:

Publish your own Advertiser (Ad Sheet), TV schedule or business directory. It is no longer absolutely necessary to have a printing press to be a publisher, although you may decide to get one once you get started good.

Printing can be contracted with commercial printers in your area, or even out of town. Another alternative that is growing leaps and bounds these days is to use a desktop publishing system to produce “copy ready masters,” which printers or copy services then duplicate inexpensively (off set printing from copy ready masters is the cheapest, providing your need 2,000 copies or more).

You can either produce your own or hire a desktop service to finalize your copy. You can also use the services of one or several different printers for different types of jobs.
