The reason I'm posting these links is so you can see what's going on in the world of print advertising.  You may see some ads for opportunities you've also seen online.  You'll see lots of things you haven't seen yet, that may be very popular in the world of mail.  I want to expose you to NEW THINGS, actually print-mail is very old, the combination of paper and ink is one of the highest-profit combinations since the history of mankind.  People also keep their print magazines for a VERY long time, these provide a paper-trail, sort of like history books of what programs became successful and which ones bombed.  This is something you won't see with online businesses, once they bomb, there's not much record of them left.  With print publications, there is history, there's a lot to learn, and there are lots of very smart motivated people who know things about advertising that most onliners have never dreamed of.

Here are links to the online version of Shore To Shore magazine for the past 2 years.  This is one of the most popular mail-order publications, with 5,000 subscribers.  This is published monthly, it's an 8x11 magazine with an average of 100 pages.  2 years ago all publications had to change their publishing format to web press, that means that all ads had to first be put onto a CD before being published on paper.  Lots of smaller magazines couldn't afford that expenditure so only a few big ones remained in business, this is one of them.

Hi Kathleen,

Very kool. Of course I noted what you were hoping I would note ;-)
Let's see if others who read your post similarly noted a very indirect but effective advertising method.
Let's hear from you folks. Did you see it?

Best regards,

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the Information and yes I did notice the ads as intended.  It's still some interesting reading.

Thanks Again,

Phil
