I want to start a magazine and don't know what are the 1st steps I need to take?

This would be a magazine for older adult women. I want to have articles and photographs, about make-up, hairstyles, and clothing. Articles about health and fitness for people to stay in shape.

First of all do some research to find out if anyone will want to buy your magazine. If your magazine is going to be a freebee then you will have to sell advertising to pay for the cost of printing, quantity printed and distributing - and you will want an income too. Do a mock up of your magazine and work out how many pages it will be. Get a price from a printer. Decide who is going to write the articles - you need at least 50% articles to offset against the adverts - nobody likes an advertising rag!
