From Trash to Cash: the Dribble continues

cagneuk

Yes I do. MoneyMabel, or anyone else who does all the wedding thing.
While I was at my DD's dance class on Saturday there was a free magazine to pick up called Hitched. It is only issue 2 so just getting started and it calls itself the wedding magazine for the north east.
Now, I don't know where you are based but as an online business surely that should not matter.
it's basically a small glossy mag with 83 pages, hard spine, loads of adverts etc and two pages of north east wedding fairs and open days coming up. They have a website www.hitched-magazine.co.uk and that's pretty much all I know about them, other than the link to issue 1 on their site doesn't work.
I'm more than happy to post you it down, or if anyone else wants one I can see if there are any left on Saturday.
Just htink you might be able to get some advetising space or an article with them seeing as how they are also a new business.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: googled merkin wedding and got a site called etsywtf.com come up, this the review pmsl

Is there anything people won’t crochet?
The seller also sells hats “adapted” from Stitch N’ !!!!! Crochet: The Happy Hooker. Struggling to see how it’s been altered.

also, for those who crochet http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36130369&ref=sr_gallery_21&&ga_search_query=merkin&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

I can't write a comment on your blog, it let's me but crashes when I try to post. have wrote it twice now.
Anyway, the basis of it was.
Your writing is fantastic, truthful and honest and it grips the reader.
I was reading the Sunday People at my parent's last week and in the magazine there was an article on living with endometriosis, it was only 3 small columns long, and was written by a lady who now works for the charity endometriosis-uk. It then goes on to mention a book 'living with endometriosis' by Kerry-Ann Morris which is available on amazon.
So, moneymaking
1 - have you thought about approaching magazines with your story, it is although harrowing, honest and truthful and I know it could help others in your situation, especially young girls who maybe don't know they have it or are too scared to talk about it?
2. - I'm pretty sure you could set up affiliate links on your blog to Amazon to maybe sell that book via your blog.

That was it really, other than I still have the magazine if you want it pm me your address and I'll post the article down.

Rymans- I take it that's a shop local to you?

Oh and MoneyMabel - think I might have something for you too. Will have to check.

Thank you so much for that. I have infact appeared in a magazine telling my story it was in thats life last year. None of the other magazines were interested but thats fine cz I will have my book when I am done writing it and that will pave my way to fame and fortune lol.

Which newspaper was it I bet I can access it online

I thought Rymans was a national stop actually, its taken over from partners but it will always be partners to me lol.
