Pros

This is a great company that is very fair, full of encouragement and their method of sales are really great! All of the people are very friendly and very serious. There is very little up-front investment ( about $500 depending on travel expenses).

Cons

The biggest con is that there is down-time in income while you collect sales, so if you do not have 2 -6 months living expenses covered while you are trying to get this going, then it's not for you. The other big con is that it really does matter where you live in order for this magazine to be a success. The magazine caters to rich, successful families and you must convince advertisers that that is what they want. Smaller cities are tough because the local businesses already have a network and a good handle on how to sell their wares. My city really only has one development considered successful and they rejected the free magazine coming to their homes. Other developments were too small for advertisers to be interested. So know your city and your local businesses before you take the plunge. BVM will say it doesn't matter where you sale, but it does. It will take much longer for some areas and if you're not already retired with an income, you won't make it.

Pros

There are so many pros. Rather than list them all, I want to focus on one of the big ones for my family in particular. That would be freedom from the stress and unending debt we had found ourselves sinking in after we finished our educations and had begun our careers. We were never going to come out from under it, destined to qualify for payment reduction and payment assistance for the rest of our lives. Best Version Media took that off the table for us, and they did it in an amazingly positive and supportive way. No longer are we looking at the date when our student loan burden is forgiven, 25 years from now, but how quickly we will be able to pay all of them off by ourselves. Plus, we have been given the opportunity to bring something wonderful to our community. We support our residents, local businesses, charities, and so much more. That is something that we can truly be proud of.

Cons

As with any job where you have to be your own boss, you must work hard to make this a success. You can be your own worst enemy, but you can also be your greatest asset. If you join this company, plan on doing exactly what you are trained to do, then you will have yourself an amazing career.
