Ad sales is one of the hardest jobs I can think of that doesn’t involve actual physical work. It's all phone calls, meetings, presentations, networking - y'know, sales.

A new company called Funnies Extra! is looking for an ad sales person for a “new full-color comics newspaper called "Funnies Extra!" The job is commission only - so you sell ads, you get $.

“Print publication ad sales experience preferred but not required” is you’re a “self-starter, a great communicator, organized and energetic.”

According to their website, Funnies Extra! is “a free, full color 16-page comics newspaper filled with comics, puzzles and crosswords, distributed to throughout the city to reach consumers of all ages.” Their presentation looks like fun, in an old-school newspaper section kind of way and I hope they carve out a good market for themselves.

Good luck, job seekers!
