Why Local Businesses Will Happily Pay For A Spot On Your Card
Every local business owner wants the same thing: more customers from their own neighborhood.
The problem is that mailing a postcard on their own is expensive. A solo mailer to 5,000 homes runs around $2,700 in printing and postage. For a plumber, a landscaper, or a barber, that's a big bet on something they've never tried.
A shared postcard fixes that. 12 to 18 businesses split the cost of one card, so each one reaches thousands of local homes for a few hundred dollars. And because there's only one business per category, nobody shares the card with a competitor.
They get affordable advertising to their neighbors. You get paid to put it together. And they pay you upfront, before a single card is printed.
Here's Just Some Of What You'll Discover Inside...
- The simple pricing formula that covers your printing and postage first, then builds in your profit, so you know your numbers before you sell a single spot
- Why you should pick your area before you find a single advertiser
- Which card to start with, the 6x11 community card or the 9x12, and why it matters for your first one
- The word-for-word first message that gets business owners to reply, and the one sentence that makes it feel personal instead of spammy
- Why you should never put your price in the first message, and what to send instead
- The "sticky" businesses that make people keep your card on the fridge, plus the ones to avoid
- Exactly what to say when an owner asks, "Does direct mail even work anymore?"
- Why someone already running a card in your area is actually good news
- The follow-up rules that close most of your sales, and when to stop following up
- Rule #1 for getting paid, and why you should never trade spots for a commission
- What to do when your print date is coming and your card isn't full
- How USPS Every Door Direct Mail works, with video walkthroughs of the mapping tool and post office prep
- How to turn one card into renewals, so your second card is easier than your first

Here's A Real Card I Mailed To 10,000 Homes
My 9x12 card in Lehi, Utah took about 300 conversations and around two months from start to mailbox. Inside the guide I break down every number on it: what each spot sold for, what printing and postage cost, how I found the businesses, and what I'd do to fill it faster next time.

Steal My Word-For-Word Scripts
Most people kill their chances in the very first message. They send the price, every detail, and a wall of text, and the business owner decides without them.
Your first message has one job: get a reply. Not to close. Not to explain everything. Just to start a conversation.
Here are two real scripts straight from the guide. Fill in the blanks and send. The guide also gives you the details message to send next, more follow-ups, and answers to the most common objections.
Your first message
Why it works: it's short, it tells them where you found them, and it ends with an easy yes-or-no question. No price, no pitch.
The follow-up that works especially well
Why it works: most sales come from follow-up, not the first message. This one reminds them a competitor could take the spot.

Who Am I, And Why Should You Listen To Me?
My name is Josh Rowberry. I run a direct mail printing business in Utah, so I see real shared postcards up close: the cards, the pricing, the printing, and the post office side that trips most people up.
I started with no sales experience. Over the past year I've taught this model to more than 1,500 people, and hundreds of them have sold ad spots to local businesses across the country. This guide is everything I teach, in the order you'll actually do it.
And I'll be straight with you: this isn't passive income, and it isn't get-rich-quick. The model is simple, but your income comes from how many businesses you talk to. If you're willing to do the outreach, this guide gives you everything else: the plan, the pricing, the words, and the steps.
