How
much is the royalty?
Unlike most franchises, we never charge a royalty
fee based on a percentage of your profits. Instead, we’ve
created a unique “No Hassle, Flat Fee Royalty System” that pays
for all the benefits you receive from Who’s Who without
constant auditing of your books, without stringent performance
quotas, and without other distractions that have become typical
of franchise ownership. In other words, we strive to ensure that
the cost of owning a Who’s Who franchise are far
outweighed by the benefits
How
long does it take to publish my first magazine?
It typically takes 90-120 days from the signing
of the documents until your first publication hits the streets.
Is
it an exclusive territory?
Yes
How
much money can I make in this business?
Who’s Who Franchising, LLC chooses not to make an
earnings claim and, therefore, cannot divulge information
regarding sales volume and profit margins. We can tell you that
owning an
America’s Own
Who’s Who
Magazine
franchise can be
a very lucrative business if you follow the marketing and
operating system provided to you. We invite you to check with
our existing franchisees as you explore this opportunity. During
our mutual evaluation process, we will ask you to call and/or
visit some of our existing publisher/owners, where you can get
specific answers to your financial questions.

How
would I distribute my America’s Own Who’s Who Magazine?
The most effective way to distribute your
magazines is through direct mail. We suggest (depending on the
size of your area, printing 25,000 magazines and mailing 15,000.
The remaining 10,000 should distributed through your local
Books-A-Million, local businesses and strategically placed
magazine stands. Examples would be your advertising clients that
cater to high-income consumers and business centers like
Kinko’s, and so on.
We will assist
you in putting together a first class distribution strategy.
Can
I do this Part-Time?
Operating a successful
America’s Own
Who’s Who
Magazine
requires your
full-time effort. We require at least one person dedicated to
full-time sales. Very early on you will also need someone
dedicated to the production of the magazine. This business is
sales driven and, to be approved as an
America’s Own
Who’s Who
Magazine
Publisher, you
will need to demonstrate a commitment to a full-time sales
effort.
