How do I make a magazine?!


Question:

How do I make a magazine?


Answers:

Seriously?

First, you have to come up with an idea for a magazine that will command an audience. A large audience with tons of buying power.

Then you have to come up with a printer who will actually print your magazine. Are you going to do all the writing? Layout? Advertising Sales? Ad Layout? If not, then you need writers, editors, graphic designers, art directors.

The printing of anything on glossy stock is VERY expensive, especially in full color. So you need revenue from advertising sales to pay for it. Then there is distribution. Are you going to mail it to your subscribers? Are you going to put it in machines that are randomly located throughout your city?

All of this costs a lot. Hopefully you have a fabulous gimmick to get the attention you need to entrap an huge audience. Once you have an audience, you need to market your magazine and it's audience to advertisers. Knowing your audience will help you pin-point advertisers because you can sell them a particular demographic.

Now you're not paying out of pocket for the whole operation, your advertisers are essentially paying for things - you just have to keep them happy, while staying true to your original concept.

Good luck.
