New CM16 and IG10 AboutMyArea Websites
We have recently taken on the CM16 and IG10 postcode websites too.
If you are interested in working with us on the new postcode areas - please get in touch by calling Kate on 01992 651066 or emailing: jeffen9@aboutmyarea.co.uk
There would be no monthly overheads, you would receive a high percentage of the fees for all the advertising you secured. Flexible working hours, no sales experience needed (although may be an advantage), a friendly and enthusiastic personality is more important and a good knowledge of the CM16 (Epping & North Weald) or IG10 (Loughton) postcode area and community spirit is essential. The opportunity potential is great !
