Pros

Best Version Media has given me the opportunity of a lifetime. While I'm considered self-employed (independent contractor), I still have the support and resources provided from an incredible company. They offer continued weekly training (several times a week), they are incredibly supportive every step of the way, and the income potential is only limited by your own personal drive and motivation. While it does take a commitment and a little time to get income flowing, the investment is well worth it. With a little hard work I can see exceeding my personal income goals within a matter of months! There is not a better opportunity to generate a very nice income while being self-employed that I know of. I am proud to be a Publisher for Best Version Media and I would highly recommend it to anyone with the drive and motivation to succeed!

Cons

I do not really have any "Cons". While some may think not having income while "getting to print" is a con, I would argue that the culture of the company keeps you motivated and the income potential is well worth the few months it will take you to build your magazine.

Pros

There's a lot that goes into making Best Version Media such a great place to work. More than anything, it's the culture. It starts from the top down. Upper management treats everyone with the same respect--this is often hard to find. The leadership, advice, and support they provide is unrivaled. In fact, there is a tremendous amount of support throughout the entire company. That's what makes BVM so special. On top of that, the work/life balance is amazing. Everyone is very passionate about their job, which is incredibly refreshing to be around. The future of Best Version Media is bright. I can't imagine a better place to be at this point in my life.

Cons

To put it simply: There aren't any. Not yet, at least. I've really enjoyed my time here.

Pros

The opportunity to build a meaningful, hyper-local community magazine from the ground up Exceptional support while still allowing true entrepreneurial freedom A company that invests in your mindset, confidence, and leadership The chance to connect deeply with local businesses and neighbors A culture that truly practices “people first” Training that sets you up for success, even if you’ve never done this before The ability to create something you’re proud of in your own hometown

Cons

Launching a brand-new magazine requires a lot of upfront time and hustle Financial pressure in the beginning, while building relationships and sponsors Steep learning curve when managing sales, production, and community outreach You wear many hats as a publisher — sales, marketing, networking, and leadership Requires thick skin and persistence, especially in the early stages You truly have to embrace the entrepreneurial mindset
