Hi! I have an idea of starting an online/possibly print based publication that would include: classifieds, local events, coupons, etc. It's not a new concept, but I want to get it into the hands of the students/parents in the community (if print based).
Does anyone have a good starting point that could refer me to?
My other goal would be to give a small % back to the school (from the ads I sell to businesses and maybe charge a small $5 fee for placing an ad).
Any comments or suggestions are happily read thank you!! Chris

Hi Chris,
Where are you located, I might be able to help.
We make community sites for real estate agents and we might be able to do something with you as a local agent and show you how to make money off of real estate agents as well as local businesses.
Best of all, we offer a free model for the local business, with an upsell, so it's easy to get them in your directory in the first place.

Wow! I use to run a local news site- but it was as a marketing deal for my Office Supply store. After I sold the office supply store I started a local cable TV channel. So I understand what it takes to do this.
We are putting together people interested in starting their own online newspaper-- WE ARE NOT SELLING ANYTHING. We just need help brainstorming it== www.flippij.net/news .
Your idea can work very well actually.
