Exclusive Bonuses for Local Media Empire

My 3 exclusive bonuses

You won’t get these from any other affiliate. They were written for this launch.

Exclusive bonus #1

• Evergreen local articles that keep pulling readers long after the news is old
• Local groups that will share your work for free, and how to ask

Exclusive bonus #2

The Local Sponsor Finder

Picking the right businesses matters more than the pitch.

• Where to find candidates, in the order to call them

SEO & AEO Content Review Checklist

Vendor bonus #5$267 value

Local Business Advertiser Pitch & Pricing Kit

A detailed execution plan for the in-person growth channels the sales page mentions (contests, farmers markets, home shows, community partnerships) — actual scripts, materials, and booth setup notes instead of just the idea list.

What’s inside

• An event booth signup script and setup checklist
• A local partnership outreach email template
• QR code signup card design notes

Vendor bonus #7$187 value

Multi-Publication Portfolio Management System

Run multiple local markets without losing track of any of them.

• A weekly cross-publication review checklist
• A “launch the next market” readiness framework

Vendor bonus #8$157 value

Subscriber Re-Engagement & Win-Back Sequence

• Notes on batching tasks across multiple publications

Media Asset Valuation & Exit Strategy Guide

If you're building an asset, know how it actually gets valued.

• Notes on what acquirers typically look for in local media deals
• A simple annual asset review routine
