Compassionate Leaders Help You Become Your Best Version of Yourself

Business Outlook

Pros

BVM has an excellent training program. If you follow it, and can self motivate and focus, you can make a very good salary and even gave free time and a flexible schedule.

Cons

No salary until you make minimum sales to support the magazine for at least a year—usually takes 2-3 months. You must be self disciplined, motivated and hungry. The better you focus, the better you’ll be.

Truly High Income Opportunity; Few Succeed

Business Outlook

Pros

-Within 1 year, tripled former salary -Made 200k+ even through Covid uncertainty, not working very much due to restrictions (so great recurring/stable income!) -Lots of free time, set your own schedule -Connect with local community and be an important part

Cons

-Many clients want to cancel contract at some point (this is more the industry than anything--people always want more from their advertising, but it can be hard when they say they "haven't got a single call") -Can be stressful dealing with sales droughts, uncertainty, etc. -Most aspiring publishers don't make it to baseline (more due to their own fault, since it is a hustle) -Had to go 6 months without income when starting out

Business Outlook

Pros

This is an entrepreneurial person's dream job. We have flexibility to manage our daily schedules - along with our own earning potential. I love the BVM culture, the opportunity for growth, the emphasis on helping everyone succeed. We receive ongoing coaching, there's always a person or resource to help through different business situations, and each publisher looks to learn from each other. I also appreciate the emphasis on work-life balance here. The work is tough and our schedules are full, but we are able to enjoy weekends, vacations and family time.

Cons

You really have to maintain a positive attitude because this is a daily sales business. This is not a company where someone can "hide" from doing his/her job. It takes a lot of work and diligence to build and maintain a successful magazine - and publishers cannot let up.
