Publishers Guide
START YOUR OWN BUSINESS Amateur Sports Publishing licenses and assists business minded people to start their own publishing business. Your business would be a targeted Sports publication full of local content, photos and advertising. We began our company with an idea to cover local amateur sports in a way that provided much needed content, photos and information related to the amateur sport community. We began with Baseball Player Magazine and made money with our very first i ssue. We decided to develop a licensing and printing program for expanding our network of sports related titles for independent business people. The program is a way for people who have a love of sports and a desire to make money to began publishing in a very short amount of time. Baseball Player Magazine has proven not only to be a giant success for our readers, but for our advertisers as well. We can design any title that you want. Our turn-key system allows us to create the magazine of your dreams. Baseball Player Magazine is a targeted marketing publication designed to inform baseball players, coaches’ managers and their families about the various elements surrounding the local baseball community. The information contained in Baseball Player Magazine is in editorial and ad format. It is also designed to reach new customers month after month. What makes this publication unique is the void it fills for all levels of youth baseball. Nothing makes a parent glow more, then reading about their son or daughter in a regional magazine. This translates into a long shelf life, which means more “bang” for your advertiser’s “buck”. For further information visit our website at: www.amateursportspublishing.com Call: 1 908-455-1613
