how to i get to publish a magazine?

Answer 1

I'ts actually pretty easy as I've helped other do it depending on the kind of magazine you want. If you mean a rag-sheet type, you can get contributors to write for free and self publish using one of your smaller newspaper printing facilities. You do need to have someone with graphic and layout experience. If you mean something more upscale, create an LLC (like Joe Blow Publishing) and start looking for printing companies. Keep in mind that magazines need to be published by pages of four (4,8,12,16 etc.) because of layout. Then find your mission (spell it out) and do a study on your target audience and their buying power unless it is a free mag then you need to really look at an advertising base to cover costs. I'd recommend starting an LLC (limited liability comp.) to cover you from liable lawsuites. I have several business plans I can but and paste for you if you need.
Keep in mind your area, demographics, openness to yoru message, target audience, cost factors (overhead and distribution), availablity of sources/articles and most important, who you are competing against. If it is a brand new idea, first find out why no one else has thought of it. Then, google similar publications that are not in your competitive range and ask questions (it helps to pose as a grad student studying marketing or journalism).
Hope this helps.

You can self-publish books, calendar, magazines etc. at Lulu.com very easily. If your material is ready to go, you just upload and you're done!
