What
do people who have used this kit
have to say?
"I
have all of the lists except the special interests and they've all paid
for themselves many many times over. I even have editors that contact
me for assignments now - I've actually had to turn stuff down. It's
honestly the best return on any investment I've ever made - no exageration.
Believe me when I say my husband is soooo grateful to you. I am a much
happier wife and mother now that I have my own thing, am not bored,
and have more self esteem now that I make my own money. Plus all the
snags and trials of parenthood provide endless topic ideas. I look on
parental difficulties differently because anything I learn, struggle
through or experience is fair game for an article. It's been awesome!
You don't realize what an inspiration you have been to me. One day I
was surfing the web and found your site and bought the parenting book
and now can stay as busy as I want writing articles. Perfect for a stay
at home mom. It's really been life changing for me. I know that sounds
overly dramatic, but it's true. My kids are too small to go back to
a real job, but this allows me to earn a little extra money and have
something of my own. It's really been a godsend to me and you've always
been so helpful with advice - which is always dead-on."
- Shannon Dean
"Your list has already paid off big
time. I sold a story to two magazines (at about $75 each) and
one of them has asked me to start writing a regular column (at $125
each). So thank you! Your instructions in your ebook were fantastic
and obviously on target, given my speedy success."
- Leah Ingram
"I
do want to personally thank you ! I now have a steadily growing
bunch of articles and checks going out and coming in! My clips
have grown almost overnight and....I have editors who love my work and
now have a column in two of these magazines!"
Belinda Mooney
"I used your list to send out an article
today, and had an acceptance in FORTY minutes! I'm very happy I bought
the e-book now, you are right. It does pay for itself and more!"
Hilary Evans
"I just wanted to let you know that I installed your database last
night, and sent out a story this morning. In about 4 hours,
I had 2 acceptances (more than paying for the cost of your kit) and
1 maybe. Thanks for a great product!" Kay
Bolden
"Brette's book and her databases are clear, concise and extremely
helpful in locating and targeting regional parenting markets .... Brette's
strategy WORKS! ... So do I recommend Brette's ebook? Absolutely!"
Mary Dixon Weidler
"I have to stand up to say that Brette's
ebook is worth every penny. In the past week that I've had
it, I've gotten 4 reprints and one query accepted! Thanks, Brette!"
Kimber Schmahl
"I'm a completely satisfied and amazed customer! You provide such
an excellent package, you answered all my questions, and I received
much more that I expected for the more than reasonable charge. This
organized, clear package is just what I needed. Many thanks,"
Kelly DuMar, M.Ed.
"I bought your regional parenting e-mail
list in the middle of March and have since sold 27 articles. Payments
are now starting to arrive in the mail. I'm thrilled! Each
of the articles I wrote appeared in various parenting publications over
the last few years and I toiled long over each one. Not only is it great
to receive payment for them again, but it's nice to see the articles
out and about again. Plus, all of the editors whom I've worked with
have been wonderful. Thanks for putting the list together, Brette."
Janice Wells
"Your RPP list has been a boon for me.
I've been quoted and blurbed in regional parenting pubs nationwide.
Thanks for the great list." Jen Singer (owner of www.mommasaid.net
and author of 14 Hours Till Bedtime)
"I don't know if I've set a record, but a little over 2 hours after
I finished e-mailing 152 regional parenting magazines from Brette's
listing, I made a sale! You bet it pays for itself!"
Heidi
Hoff
"I truly think you've got a great product here, Brette. I do think
it's a difficult market to understand, and I know I'd never take the
time to compile all those email addresses and everything since I haven't
had much luck with the publications so far. I'd rather spend the [money]
to buy it with the hopes of making more money in the future."
Angie Roberts
"As one who has purchased and been using
her e-book for about two months, I'll tell you without hesitation that
it is absolutely worth the [money]. Brette's book has saved me hours
and hours of time that I used to spend searching for publications --
many of which I'd subsequently learn were no longer in existence. In
the two months I've been using it, I've sold one previously published
article 4 times, and another piece 3 times...and these sales have been
to publications I had never even heard of until I bought the e-book!
I've already made recouped my investment more than 5-fold, and I'm so
excited about what's to come. Each time I write an article,
now, I know that I'm writing not only for the pub that's assigned it,
but possibly for a slew of others. I'm now thinking ahead as I'm researching
and interviewing, so that I'll have additional resources available,
should I need them for a future sale. I feel it's worth every penny,
and I can't wait to buy her next update. An unsolicited testimonial
from a loyal fan," Wendy Marquez
"I
was hesitant about approaching the regional parenting publications market,
until I got my hands on Successful Selling to Regional Parenting Publications.
Not only does Brette McWhorter Sember demystify the process of submitting
to this specialized market - the database of e-mail addresses makes
submission easier than I could have ever imagined. Without a
doubt, this publishing and writing kit will increase my productivity
and sales, while helping me break into this specialized market."
Belle Wong
"I
purchased the list about a week ago, sent out my reprint catalog to
all the e-mail addresses on the list, and so far I've gotten 5 responses
from pubs interested in buying at least two, but sometimes as many as
four or five of my articles. Net profit a week in: approximately
$300 for a 15-minute investment of writing a pitch e-mail and
responding to inquiries. Not bad! Definitely worthwhile if you've got
reprintable parenting articles lying around."
