I've tried to anticipate any questions you might have in the following file. If I missed something and you have a question, contact me: Voice: 214-437-5514 FAX: 214-680-0848 BBS: 214-680-3406 214-680-1451 817-261-0872 214-994-0093 214-994-0094 214-994-0095 QUESTIONS / ANSWERS Q: We have two cities within our primary coverage. Will the magazine be exclusive for both, or just in the one city? A: In Both. As long as both cities are accessible by a local or metro phone number. For example, Dallas and Fort Worth are two separate markets. It is long distance to call one from the other but they are accessible with a Metro call. So, they are treated as ONE market. Your exclusitivity will be protected. ============================================================================ Q: How many ads can I sell in the magazine? A: I don't know the exact number. As many as you can. For example, there is a minimum of 11 chapters each month and each chapter will have at least 5-8 screens (pages). So, figure a max of a HEADER and FOOTER on each screen: 11(chapters) X 5(pages/screens) X 2 ads ======(at 5.00 per ad) $110.00 just in the 2-line HEADERS & FOOTERS. 12 months X $110.00 = $1320.00 just on HEADERS & FOOTERS. Then you can sell as many of the other sizes as you can. ============================================================================= Q: What format do I use for ads I sell? A: We can run ANSI, GIF, and .PCX. When submitting GIF or PCX files they will be converted into executable files (we'll do that). Therefore, if a client has a camera-ready ad, get the ad to us and we will have it scanned into a .PCX file(there is a $3.00 charge for this and the $3.00 must accompany the copy). If you have it scanned locally, simply mail/upload the .PCX file to us. (Make sure that whoever scans it for you, understands that it will run on a 20 line X 65 character screen. For Headers & Footers, straight ASCII text. ============================================================================== Q: When I sell an ad, how do I get the copy to you. A: By any means possible: Mail, Fax, Upload. ============================================================================= Q: If I elect to include local bbs news how will I get the information to you? A: See above. ================================================================================ Q: How do I get my magazine each month? A: By Download. You will be provided an account on BBS America, which operates on TBBS. Each issue will be attached to a message so when you call, you won't have to search for it. It will pop up immediately for d/l. Only you will be able to d/l YOUR customized copy. =============================================================================== Q: When will the magazine be available for download? A: On the last day of each month, and it will be available for you as of 12:01 a.m on that day. ================================================================================ Q: What if I pay you money and then you go belly-up? A: Not a chance. BBS America has been online for the last three years, as a high-profile bbs. I enjoy an even higher profile as the BBS and computer news columnist for COMPUTER CURRENTS for the past three years. By profession, I am a prolyfic, established writer (6 books and hundreds of magazine/newspaper articles) with solid credibility. =============================================================================== Q: That sounds good, but can you provide references? A: Sure can.
