WHO WE ARE

Lifestyle Publications connects and inspires communities through locally-focused magazines mailed directly to local homes and businesses. Our publications fulfill a need in cities that once felt disconnected and isolated. This sense of community has spread from coast to coast and, best of all, it requires no publishing experience! Learn more about the opportunity and what it entails here.

Our tagline says it best:

A NEW LIFESTYLE

A day in the life of Lifestyle Publisher Andy Manz

FINANCIAL FREEDOM

We believe that all of our Area Sales Directors are part of our Lifestyle family, and just like any family, we want you to achieve your dreams. Since we handle all of the back-end support and production required to publish a monthly magazine at a very competitive price, your profit margins stay extremely high.

months in print	issue 1	issue 6	issue 12	issue 18	issue 24
Monthly profit	$4,380	$12,550	$22,580	$24,970	$36,860

Revenue may vary depending on how much time you put into the publication and how closely you maintain suggested ad prices. Profit may vary depending on distribution and location.

ARE YOU A FIT?

YOU MIGHT MAKE A SUCCESSFUL AREA SALES DIRECTOR IF:

you are a self-motivated person with an entrepreneurial spirit and you don’t like being micromanaged.
you have a proficiency in sales and love connecting with people.
you have a 4-6 month expendable income.
energetic and enthusiastic are words other people would use to describe you.
you are open to learning new things and willing to be trained in our proven sales formula.

I’m all these things! Let’s schedule a meeting.

BEING AN AREA SALES DIRECTOR IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

a job in sales is something you feel unsure about.
you have a hard time connecting with people.
a part-time role is all you can currently manage.
you thrive under micromanagement.
owning your own business is something you find intimidating.
