How can I start a men's magazine from scratch?!


Question: i would be very careful if i were you. lots of mags have gone out of business in recent years because it is so easy to get info info on the net. Cargo mag for men was awesome, but they couldn't get enough sales. they were the Lucky for men. so even though they had a major publishing company behind them, they still couldn't muster up interest + sales.

realize that magazines are not only about subscriptions, but the cost of producing the mag comes from advertisers who are willing to pay to be in the magazine. as an unknown, independently made magazine with a very small audience, and no name recognition you will find it very hard to get burberry, gucci, nike, etc to buy ad space. it will also be hard to get people to pay for your mag.

instead, consider starting an website with the content you would put in a mag. you can choose ads to put on the site and get paid if people click on them. you can also get paid based on the # of people who come to your site. since websites are easier than ever to make, and nearly free, this is a much lower risk investment than trying to write, print, and distribute a magazine.

start blogging on the topics you choose. here are some examples of blogs. if you capture your intended audience, you can be quiet successful at it.
