For the past couple of months, we’ve been offering new subscribers our best deal ever — our Feature Package. Now, we’d like to give you the chance to use that Package to make some money. Earn cold hard cash every Sunday in January, plus if you remain a carrier into February, you can earn even more money. For more information, see your district manager.

Click here to download the order form you can use to sell the Feature Package. Remember — it’s our best subscription deal ever! $20.99 for four days of home delivery with three days of eEdition access.

The other details:
• Make $20 for every cash or check order you sell.
• Make $25 for every Easy Pay order you sell.

Turn in your orders by Wednesday and we’ll pay you cold hard cash on the following Sunday. (Example, to be paid by Sunday, January 8, have your orders turned in by Wednesday, January 4.) Plus, for every 10 orders we receive during the month of January, we’ll give away a $50 bonus on Valentine’s Day. Each order is good for one entry into the bonus drawing, so the more you sell, the better your chance to win. (Must be an active carrier on February 10 to be eligible for the bonus.)

Please turn all orders in to your DM by Wednesday, January 25 to get paid your cold hard cash.
