Hi! I’m Cathy Alessandra and I began What’s Up For Kids in 1995 as a niched family newsletter serving a suburb of Southern California. What’s Up For Kids began as a 4 page copied newsletter with a circulation of 1000 and is now a 32 page glossy full color magazine with a circulation of 20,000. What’s Up For Kids now also produces up to 6 family expos each year in Southern California and boasts two websites – www.WhatsUpForKids.com and www.GotSummerCamp.com.

And best of all – it is a highly successful profitable business
that I run from my home office – giving me the flexibility to work
when I want and be able to take time with my kids!

I started my business when my kids were 3, 1 and a glimmer in my eye! As you can see, they are teenagers now, but I still desire the flexibility of setting my own hours!  Owning my own business and being the Publisher of my own magazine is so exciting and extremely rewarding. PLUS it has given me fun opportunities with my kids! Free and discounted  tickets to events, free and discounted products and services  – even tickets to a hot movie premiere where my kids got to meet Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers!

In this program, I work with you directly to help you become the Independent Area Publisher of your very own family magazine – ONLINE and/or in print!
