Maria enjoys flexibility and control with her My Mag community magazine!
18th September 2008 - My Mag
I would never have dreamt I would be where I am today. With three young children 7, 5 and 2 and my husband going self employed and having recently moved house, I was searching for something I could do, that would allow me the flexibility to be there for my children and generate a decent income.
I have now been producing ‘The Guide’ for just over 2 years and it couldn't be going any better. I'm so pleased that I took the plunge and bought my My Mag Pack. I now have my own very successful business that I fit in around my family and which I know - from all the great feedback I get - makes a difference to the people in our locality.
Being a reasonably shy person with zero sales experience, approaching businesses and asking them to advertise was a very daunting process for me. I’ve always felt it is important to the community to feature more than just business adverts which is why I continually look for interesting articles and features to run. In addition to the usual features and quiz pages there is also a Kidzone page which has seasonal puzzles, jokes and activities.
Working on my My Mag magazines has been and continues to be fantastic. It is great to have people actually stop me in the street because they want to thank me and tell me how much they enjoy receiving the mags. I used to be worried that people would think it was rubbishy junk mail but now I know that residents and businesses alike find them very useful and really do enjoy them landing on their doormats.
