Build the relationships. We help power the publication.
Operate a local Rejoice Weekly™ edition with the tools and support to get started without a Publisher startup, monthly, or annual membership fee. Focus on local businesses, advertiser relationships and distribution while Rejoice Weekly provides the brand, central content, platform, ad-design support, digital infrastructure, Publisher device with paid mobile data service, and printing service.
Independent business opportunity. Not employment. No income, profit, territory or business-success guarantee is made.
A local media business with a system behind it
The Publisher's highest-value work is local: meeting businesses, building trust, selling advertising and developing dependable distribution. Rejoice Weekly centralizes the tools and production work that should not have to be rebuilt in every market.
No out-of-pocket startup or membership fees
Approved Independent Publishers can get started without a Publisher startup, monthly, or annual membership fee. Rejoice Weekly provides the core Publisher tools and support needed to begin building a local edition.
A real weekly local edition
Publish an authorized two-sided 11×17 Rejoice Weekly™ local edition with central family-friendly content, local advertising and community information.
Your Publisher toolkit goes with you
Approved Independent Publishers receive a Rejoice Weekly Publisher device with mobile data service paid by Rejoice Weekly, giving you access to your Publisher Dashboard, prospecting tools, advertiser management, Market Explorer and other resources while you build your local edition.
Three ways to help a business
Offer Print + Online at $35/week, Online Only at $60 per four weeks, or a free Business Directory listing when a business is not ready to advertise.
Category protection
Each local edition is limited to one active advertiser per defined business category, subject to availability and Rejoice Weekly category assignment.
Ad design and production support
Rejoice Weekly can create advertiser artwork and supplies central content and production support so publishers can focus on local relationships.
Local Market System
Build an approved local market and distribution route, with room for additional approved routes as a publisher grows.
Aligned incentives
Publishers and Rejoice Weekly share advertising proceeds, so both sides benefit when the local edition builds sustainable advertising relationships.
Three ways to walk into a local business with something useful
Business-card-size full-color ad in the weekly local edition.
Free online Business Directory listing set up for the advertiser.
Rotating online display ad with the standard 15-minute rotation.
Ad-design assistance available through Rejoice Weekly.
$15/week, purchased four weeks upfront.
Rotating online display advertising plus Business Directory presence.
No printing deduction: collected revenue is divided 75% Publisher / 25% Rejoice Weekly.
A business does not have to buy advertising to participate in the online directory.
This gives Publishers a useful no-cost option when a business is not ready to advertise.
How Print + Online revenue sharing works
Printing is deducted first at the current Rejoice Weekly rate of 35¢ per finished copy. The remaining collected advertising proceeds are divided 75% to the Independent Publisher and 25% to Rejoice Weekly.
This calculator illustrates the contractual revenue-sharing formula only. It does not estimate taxes or all expenses and does not predict sales.
If printing exceeds collected Print + Online advertising in an illustration, the displayed amount available for sharing is floored at zero. Final agreements will govern actual accounting, payment timing, refunds, chargebacks and production obligations.
The Publisher focuses locally
