You don't need years of experience and megabucks in the bank in order to become a Coffee News Licensee. In fact, we make the Licenses SO AFFORDABLE - practically ANYONE who WANTS to become a Licensee - CAN BE! (If your city/town hasn't already been taken, that is.)

You Can Earn A Very Good Living!

If for example you live in a city of 500,000 population, your gross can be as high as $500,000/yr. Then of course, come off all your costs but depending on how well you're able to keep your ad spots full, your take-home pay should be 40 - 60% of that. (Our minimum population requirements are at least 15,000 population - which would give you a part-time job - at between $20,000 and $30,000/yr. net income.)

It's Competitor-Proof!

With six months of research to be able to inject 17 different psychological and super-learning effects into the unique ad design/reader enjoyment and make-up of Coffee News, it's not surprising that no other restaurant publication has ever been able to come close to delivering Coffee Newses' incredible ad results. As such, even cut-throat copy-cats offering 50% less ad rates just can't make it financially once advertisers compare results and stick with Coffee News instead.

Case in point - Winnipeg, Canada, there have been TWENTY-TWO copy-cat attempts in it's first 12 years. Twenty-one died naturally (no legal intervention needed), and the twenty-second is about to. Wanna bet there will STILL be a number 23???

It's Both Recession-Proof and A Recession-Buster - In One!

No matter how BAD the recession is in your area, it CAN be turned around - empty stores filled again, lost jobs replaced by better-paying, more permanent ones. The KEY is rebuilding and revitalizing your local economy from the ground up - by helping new and small businesses survive their first two years in business. In many countries, as many as 80% of new businesses fail during their first two years - which is why banks are reluctant to give small business loans within this time period. "Great little shop - too bad more people didn't know about it" - is one of the major causes of such business failures, since the first thing to go when money gets tight is their advertising budget.

Well, THAT'S where Coffee News comes in. Coffee News is specifically designed to HELP SMALL BUSINESSES - not only with ad rates that are easily affordable, but with weekly, highly effective exposure to exactly the potential customers they need to reach - those right in their own neighbourhood and with MONEY TO SPEND!!!

As seen in "Coffee News History" (click here), an entire business community was rebuilt when that 80% failure rate was transformed into not only an 80% SUCCESS RATE - these same endangered new businesses LEAD the entire business community in the sheer number of business expansions within that same community!! It CAN be done, and Coffee News is now DOING just that in hundreds of neighbourhoods - in NINE COUNTRIES through our Coffee News Licensees!!!
