INTRODUCTION TO MAGAZINE PUBLISHING

Firstly, thank you for purchasing this book. Before we begin

setting up your magazine we need to learn about publishing,

its audiences, and the magazines that are recognised the

world over. For obvious reasons it is necessary to build a

basic knowledge of this subject before you begin.

The Wonders of Magazine Publishing

Many see it as a simple reading material, but take a closer

look and you can see the many wonders of magazine

publishing.

As a key component in promoting the industry of mass media

to the world, magazine publishing has changed the face of

print media – one that has taken it into new and greater

heights. One of the wonders of magazine publishing is that

it has withstood the test of time, even with the addition of

rapidly expanding and progressing Information Technology.

The sphere of influence of the perpetual partnership between

pen and paper has transcended through time and has not

been shaken by the threat of electronic media and the thrust

towards a paperless society.

Page 12: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 10

This is mainly so since magazine publishing exhibits a process

so versatile and dynamic that simply, yet surprisingly, allows

it to adapt and adjust to changes of the times.

The best reason for this adaptability is the fact that humans

crave for information or the means through which to be heard,

and it is one of the greatest factors that will foster its survival.

It is the hunger and craving for information that makes

magazine publishing, as well as any other mass media, an

indispensable tool in delivering information, either on paper or

in a digital format.

Today’s information culture makes it difficult, if not impossible,

to live without the media.

Obviously, the press is by far the best conduit that brings

information to the people, and magazine publishing allows

information – in its many faces - to be creatively and

extensively presented.

Unlike tabloids and periodicals, magazines incorporate

conventional reporting, which is enhanced by with creativity

and artistry.

Page 13: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 11

While all the other forms of print media adhere to strict rules

and guidelines, magazine publishing breaks this taboo and is

inclined to more liberal and aesthetic approaches.

Commercially, magazine publishing is one of the most veritable

moneymakers in the media industry, since it can drive focus

towards a certain segment of the market that it hopes to give

focus to.

From home improvement, Do-It-Yourself guides, women’s,

men’s, children’s, sectarian, opinion, features, essays, public

awareness, public service, clubbing, political, entertainment -

you name it - magazine publishing can embrace it and present

it to the public within the bat of an eyelid.

From the commercial standpoint, the broader the market scope

of a magazine the better, since this is undoubtedly one of

the best venues to advertise and introduce new products.

On average, a person with active contact to mass media is

exposed to no less than five hundred advertising messages

or materials in a day, most of which can be found in

magazine publications printed regularly.

Page 14: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 12

Magazine publishing’s versatility and dynamism has even

adapted to the advent of online information technology, where

it has even broadened its scope to a much larger global

audience.

It will continue to proliferate regardless of the changes and

challenges it faces, as long as it will continue to satiate the

public with the need to be continuously informed.

I hope that you're excited. I'm actually excited for you! When

I first started my magazine, it was the most frightening yet

most exciting time of my life.

A quick tour of some of the things you will learn

Everybody wants to be his or her own boss. For that to

happen, you need to do some research and have enough

capital for your particular business venture.

The same rules apply for anyone who wants to start their

own Magazine Publishing Business. The biggest question that

a lot of people have a problem with is:

What if I don’t have enough money to start a magazine?

We will go in-depth on this later but one method is to invite

investors by showing them your business plan which includes

Page 15: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 13

the start up capital needed and when they can expect to get

a return from their investment.

It can be possible to start with no money. However, depending

on your plans and other factors such as client relations and

relevant previous experience, it could prove difficult.

The other option is to start a magazine through the web as

an Ezine (refer to page 159, .

Unlike printed copies, you don’t have to invest a lot of money

since the cost of making a website and looking for a web

host will not cost you a fortune. You will also discover where

you can publish your magazine online and get thousands of

readers for free!

The success of your magazine will depend greatly on the

content. If you are doing something similar to what

Cosmopolitan or Vogue are doing, chances are you won’t

even make a dent in the market because you don’t have

anything new to offer.

If you were to sell your magazine from shops or stands, you

must feature something different. For instance, instead of

focusing on clothes you can create a magazine that caters

Page 16: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 14

to parenting, clubbing, property, a certain hobby or cooking.

This all boils down to doing some market research.

If you don't want to do research you could hire a market

research company to do it for you. Should their study prove

that there is potential on a certain topic, it is time for you

to develop a plan that will make the magazine profitable.

An extremely important thing you have to work on will be

the name of the magazine. The shorter the name the better

so people will be able to remember it and the only way that

can happen is if it is able to grab the reader’s attention.

Magazines come out weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly.

To ensure the quality of your content, make sure you hire

the right people as editors, writers and photographers.

If you can’t afford yet to hire these people on a full time

basis, make sure you can buy the rights from them and then

be able to edit the materials yourself and pay them

accordingly.

You will be shown easy ways to create content yourself later

on page 112,

Page 17: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 15

This is One Way You Could Fund A Large Start Up:

Start an online Magazine (Ezine) first. When your online

magazine has proved successful and you are able to earn a

sufficient amount of money from advertising, it is time that

you shift your attention towards coming up with your very first

magazine to hit the news stands (if you want to go down

this route).

If someone else has already published a magazine that is

similar to what you plan, try to see what they lack and then

use it to your advantage. This hasn’t stopped others from

launching their own successful magazine, which just goes to

show there is room for everyone in this business.

You Need More Than Money to Start

Money is just one of the things you need to start your own

magazine because there are other aspects of the business

that are just as important to make it profitable. For one, you

need to have a basic idea for your magazine. Preferably it

should focus on a certain subject that you are knowledgeable

about so you can come up with a plan that differentiates you

from any competitors.

You may be in a position to pay others to do the tiring work.

For that, you need to hire the right people who will serve

Page 18: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 16

as writers, editors, photographers, graphic designers and

distributors for your magazine. You will need to have

advertisers to generate most of the revenue for your business

in order to pay the salaries of any staff and to also pay for

other expenses including the next issue.

This is done by calling up advertising agencies or local

businesses, sending them letters and meeting with them in

person. Networking will also come in handy so you can

generate interest from other advertisers.

When you have a meeting with advertising agencies or

advertisers, remember that you are asking them to advertise

in your magazine in exchange for something else. Be sure

to deliver your end of the bargain so this relationship will

continue in future issues.

When your team has finished doing the layout, content and

design of the magazine, the only thing to do is to send it

to the printers or print it yourself.

Since there are many printers available, get a cost quote

from all of them and then get the best deal money can buy.

Page 19: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 17

An advanced copy of the magazine will be sent to you before

it hits the stands or gets distributed. This is called a proof.

Check it page by page for any discrepancies and if everything

is satisfactory, the only thing you have to do is approve it

and the print run will commence.

Distribution of your magazine is important. You must make

sure that it hits places where your target audience will go to

and buy it or pick it up for free. These places include local

newsstands, local businesses, supermarkets etc. If it is free

you can still make a great profit and build your reader base

quickly!

Don’t forget to also send copies to your advertisers and

sponsors free of charge so they will be able to see first hand

their adverts and the rest of your magazine.

Page 20: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 18

Not that many people will know about your magazine without

some form of publicity. For a high-profile magazine, you will

need to throw a launch party - that usually gets media

attention. You should invite some of the biggest names in

the industry, a few celebrities and of course the local press.

After providing some entertainment for the night’s festivities,

make sure everyone goes home with a souvenir bag that

includes a copy of your magazine and perhaps some special

launch party discounts provided by advertisers to get them

more exposure.

You certainly need more than just money to have your own

magazine because in the days after your launch party, your

magazine will be featured in the local press and maybe even

regional TV. Viewers and readers who have seen or heard

it will most likely want to see what all the fuss is about and

buy or pick up a copy.

If these people like it, then you have successfully established

a beachhead. You will have to press on forward in the coming

months so you can truly compete with other magazines that

have already established a name.

Page 21: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 171

So when you start off an email with a question, it immediately

gets the reader involved in your email.

What kind of questions do you ask?

"Yes!" questions. What I mean is, questions where the reader

would respond enthusiastically with a "YES!"

Here are a few examples:

You don't have to ask a "Yes" question to get this to work.

I mention them because they are one of the easier styles

of questions that are proven to be very effective.

If you don't use a question, then a powerful teaser style

headline will work as well. To do this, you can just take the

main benefit of the article of your Ezine and turn it into a

question.

So let’s say your Ezine is about golf and you new issue is

on how to improve your golf swing on drives. The question

could be:

Page 22: How to Become a Magazine Publisher - Create Your Own Magazine

Page 172

“Would you like to learn how to hit the golf ball as straight

as an arrow?”

In my example Ezine above, I used a question in the subject

line of the email, instead of in the email itself. The subject

line for that issue was: “-first name - Need More Sales?”

It’s a simple “Yes” question that will get more people to open

up and read.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After John Crossley-Stanbury left the

British Armed Forces with ‘Exemplary

the private security sector. He rapidly

neglecting his creative and technical

side. John then qualified as an I.T.

He was 22 years old. He has since successfully published

30 magazines, built 3 websites and made 5 DVD’s. John and

his team distributed 300,000 magazines and within 6 months

of launching a new website it received over 1 million hits.

John started with no investment!

At the age of just 23, John was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

and soon decided that he wanted to share his knowledge

and experience to help others. He is the Publicity and Public

Relations Officer for the Barnsley Branch of Parkinson’s UK.

He actively participates in fundraising, public awareness and

other charitable work, both on a local and national level.
