What's Involved

Raring2Go! is not a 'get-rich-quick' scheme. However, it does offer the potential for really great levels of earnings and fantastic levels of pride and fulfillment - but you do need to put in work!

It is really down to you how you run your magazine and when you want to devote time to it. Sally and Kirsten, for instance, work a few hours a day for about a month in the run up to each edition being printed - and then take two months off! Alternatively you could spread the workload more evenly but do less hours each day/week.

Essentially, because there are only 4 publications per year in the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter it also allows you to concentrate your efforts on producing your magazine by putting in longer hours over shorter time periods in the run up to the publication dates if this is more in line with how you like to work. (Publication dates are preset so that you have specific 'windows' to work towards for each issue).
