AN EXCEPTIONAL ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITY

Our publications showcase distinguished professionals, remarkable properties, extraordinary destinations, and the individuals and organizations that define excellence in their respective fields.
We are building a national network of Managing Publishers to develop regional and specialty publishing collections across the United States, with opportunities for international expansion.
This opportunity is designed for individuals who enjoy building executive-level relationships, working independently, and developing a substantial business within an established publishing framework.

OUR PUBLISHING PORTFOLIO
Aureum Books is developing an expanding collection of distinctive luxury publications, including:

THE ART OF HOME
A regional publishing series showcasing outstanding residential architects, custom home builders, interior designers, and landscape architects.

EXTRAORDINARY STAYS
A luxury hospitality publishing series celebrating exceptional hotels, inns, resorts, and retreats.

FUTURE AUREUM COLLECTIONS
Additional publications exploring exceptional dining, residential communities, luxury lifestyles, and other carefully selected markets.

Each publication is developed around a curated collection of distinguished participants and presented through sophisticated photography, editorial storytelling, and exceptional book design.

THE MANAGING PUBLISHER ROLE
Managing Publishers lead the business development efforts for an assigned publication or regional collection.

Primary responsibilities include:
Identifying and qualifying prospective participants.
Establishing relationships with business owners, senior executives, and decision-makers.
Presenting the publication's concept, positioning, and participation opportunity.
Conducting executive-level Publisher's Conversations, primarily through virtual meetings.
Securing participation agreements with qualified businesses and professionals.
Developing and maintaining a productive pipeline of prospective participants.
Collaborating with Aureum's publishing, creative, and administrative teams.
Managing Publishers concentrate on relationship development and business generation.
Aureum manages the editorial, design, production, and publishing processes.

WHAT AUREUM PROVIDES
Our Managing Publishers benefit from a comprehensive publishing and business development infrastructure, including:
Extensive initial training and ongoing professional development.
A proven consultative business development methodology.
Professionally designed digital presentations, publication previews, and marketing materials.
Prospect identification and qualification guidance.
Sales scripts, communication templates, and objection-handling resources.
Editorial, creative, production, and administrative support.
Established participation agreements and compensation programs.
Opportunities to develop additional publishing collections as Aureum expands.

Our objective is to equip each Managing Publisher with the resources necessary to build a successful, independently managed business development operation.

WHO WE'RE SEEKING
We are particularly interested in professionals with backgrounds in:
Executive-level business development and consultative sales.
Luxury hospitality, hotels, resorts, and destination marketing.
Residential architecture, interior design, custom home building, and luxury real estate.
Premium publishing, media, and marketing services.
Independent consulting and entrepreneurial business development.
Professional services and relationship-driven B2B sales.
Ideal candidates demonstrate:
A successful record of generating substantial business revenue.
Strong executive presence and professional communication skills.
The ability to establish credibility with accomplished business owners and senior decision-makers.
Entrepreneurial initiative, self-discipline, and personal accountability.
Comfort operating within a performance-based compensation structure.
An appreciation for exceptional design, architecture, hospitality, and luxury experiences.
Previous publishing experience is welcome but not required.

INDEPENDENCE AND FLEXIBILITY
This is a fully remote, independent contractor opportunity.
Our business development process is conducted primarily through telephone conversations, digital presentations, and virtual executive meetings.
Candidates may reside anywhere in the United States, regardless of the regional collection they are assigned to develop.
Regional market knowledge and established professional relationships are advantageous but not essential.
We welcome both professionals interested in making Aureum their primary business activity and accomplished independent consultants or entrepreneurs who maintain complementary professional engagements.
Our emphasis is on professional execution, initiative, relationship development, and measurable results rather than prescribed working hours.

COMPENSATION AND EARNING POTENTIAL
Managing Publishers are compensated through a performance-based commission structure that may include:
Competitive commissions on participant revenue.
Additional performance incentives and bonuses.
Commissions on qualifying book sales.
Opportunities to develop additional collections.
Illustrative earning potential can exceed $150,000 for a successfully developed collection, depending on the publication's compensation plan, participation revenue, sales performance, and book orders.
This is a 100% commission-based independent contractor opportunity. There is no base salary, draw, or guaranteed income.
Compensation terms are established for each assigned publication. Actual earnings depend on individual performance and client payments, and no particular earnings level is guaranteed.
