Daily Sales Tip: Spotting good Alternative Revenue sales prospects can be as simple as reading your favorite magazines.

Save a bunch of magazines and periodicals covering a variety of lifestyles including outdoor activities, cooking, home improvement, auto racing, healthy living, and home decorating, for example.
