Dear Publisher/Editor

 

 

Weekly Horoscope Column Opportunities:

 

I have been writing a high quality, popular weekly horoscope for many publications since 1993, which consistently draws readers from all walks of life.  It proves its worth for the accuracy and guidance provided, not purely for entertainment.  It is a value-added feature for newspapers and websites!

 

Many of my readers and clients from around the world would like to see my column expanded into more publications that currently don't run any quality astrology.  My column is committed to addressing the global issues of our time, and weaves in current news and events with the higher perspective and consciousness of astrology.

 

Also, the Horoscope entries for each sign reflect an ongoing theme.  This approach is successful because that is quite simply how life works, as a process.  People recognize this and it prompts readers to follow the Weekly Horoscope on a regular basis.  In addition, my degree in English Literature has helped to develop an intelligent and eloquent writing style.

 

Each Horoscope comes with a ‘Tip of the Week’ which is popular and valuable to provide helpful background, updates, insights and inspirations for the given time period. This deepens the overall experience of the Horoscope and keeps readers coming back for more week after week!

 

Please contact me to discuss opportunities to run his weekly column in your publication.                                

Options for Print-Publications AND/OR  Websites to run the Weekly Horoscope Column

1.      Website only with full column:

Post the Horoscope in full on your website along with my photo on the top, a brief bio and my contact information. (e.g.                                     http://www.ilovenelson.com). My usual fee for this is $20.00/wk. The idea here is that it increases regular traffic to your site and keeps readers there, rather than moving away from your site to access it, as in a link to my site. Included in this fee is your option to also post the Quarterly and Yearly Horoscope if you like, via internal links to pages on your own site or however else you might choose to do it.

2.      Website only with my URL link:

Post just a link from your site directing them to my site. The link should state: Michael O'Connor's Weekly Horoscope. There is no charge for this because although it adds value to your site, it directs visitors away from your site.  **A reciprocal link would be placed on my site. 

3.      Newspaper or print publication only, no website:

Run Horoscope with or without the Tip of the Week, along with photo, title “Michael O’Connor’s Weekly Horoscope” and contact                information, (website, toll free #, email).

Fee ranges from $10.00 - $20.00/wk depending upon size, circulation and whether or not it is a free publication or purchased. If it is            purchased, the fee is always $20.00.

4.      Newspaper or print publication, no website:

Same as above but instead of payment, an exchange for a profile ad, (minimum 2x2.5”) in classified or body, mind, spirit section.

5.      Print publication and website, or 2 websites or 2 print                    publications:

Post full column on both your website and in print publication along with photo and contact info.  Fee is $30.00/wk.

6.      Print publication with full Horoscope, and website Horoscope link:

$20.00 / week includes full column in print with photo and contact info + a free link on your website to my site (entitled Michael O'Connor's Weekly Horoscope).  Or, a trade (no fee) for full column in print + visible ad with photo/contact info on your website along with a link.

7.      Print publications and website:

 

The reverse of #6 above:  Run full column on the website with photo and contact information, in exchange for an 2 x 2.5 advertisement in print publication.

 

8.      Multiple websites and/or print publications:

 

Full column with photo and contact information – open to negotiated Package price.

 

NOTE:  In cases where my link is listed for free on your website, I will post a reciprocal link to your publication, with an optional banner.

 

 Here’s what people are saying about Michael’s Horoscope columns:

 

“Thanks Michael! I always enjoy and benefit from your ‘starry wisdom’!”

 “Michael O’Connor’s weekly Horoscope column has been an essential addition to our publication, The West Kootenay Weekender (circ 32,000) since he first started with us in August 1997.  Michael writes in a style that exhibits expertise in Astrology and possesses an ability to create colorful, thought provoking, and most importantly to readers, accurate predictions and advice, as many attest (myself included!).  Michael’s ability to meet deadlines with clean, errorless copy is also most appreciated.”
Darren Davidson, Nelson Daily News Nelson B.C.

 

“I have always been skeptical about Horoscopes.  They have never reflected my experiences until I read Michael’s, that is.  His are an accurate description of what I am experiencing in my life.  I look forward to reading it on a weekly basis.” 
 Brenda Zacharuk, Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Sc. 

 

“I am always amazed with Michael’s insights into my character through his Horoscopes in the Weekender.  As a friend once commented, ‘you kind of look over your shoulder and wonder where he is, how does he know that about me?  I have found Michael’s Horoscope to be very helpful in pointing out where I should be focusing my energy.  His are the only Horoscopes that I have ever read that I can really apply to my situation consistently.”
 Dominique Huchet, Kootenay Bay, B.C.  Credit Union Loans Officer

 

“ I often read my Horoscope and wonder if Michael lives in my house he’s so accurate regarding what’s up for me. “   
Carol Scott, Nelson B.C. 

 

“Normally I do not read Horoscopes in newspapers.  One day, I accidentally came across Michael’s Horoscope column.  Since then I can hardly wait until the itr comes out.  In Switzerland, where I am from, Horoscopes are not that accurate, not like Michael’s.  I am also amazed with his knowledge of Chinese and other systems of Astrology as well.  Thank you for sharing...”.

Morgan Laray, Nelson B.C.  Teacher and Performing Artist

 

“Michael’s weekly Horoscope is unique.  He combines his in-depth knowledge of Astrology and human nature to offer positive and empowering guidance. “
Annie Houston, Massage Therapist, Nelson B.C.

 

“I have been reading Michael O’Connor’s Horoscope for many years and have always found it to be a very accurate reflection of my life. His style is unique in its ability to summarize a large amount of information into a succinct perspective.  It is both very informative and entertaining.”
S. L.  Los Angeles Ca.
