I'm with you on that. I love hard copies in my hand. As far as progress, just found out that a guy I did a favor for is an editor at a local mag and the photographer. He said he'd help me out and just get in touch, so hopefully things will be a little smoother going now.

Everyone you listed uses the TRADITIONAL printing model. I know people that write books that think because they spend $10k to get started they will sell. I spent $40 and I sell a lot more books than they do. They listened to people and bought a ton of books so they could acquire distribution...

The biggest problem that you seem to have is your line of thinking: 1) What I posted on this forum is not my marketing plan. My marketing planned can't be summed up in a few short sentences. 2) Just because it confuses you doesn't mean it confuses everyone else. I actually have a pretty decent...

Maybe nobody has tried it because many of the established magazines were around before the current type of POD. Even now there are some POD that charge large upfront fees. In early 2000 I looked into publishing and it was expensive. More modern POD service have no minimum orders like early POD...

No one uses it? When was the last time you saw a major advertising campaign for your local newspaper? When was the last time you saw a Cannes commercial? How about a Sundance Festival commercial outside of the Sundance channel? MLMs use the exact same means of getting the word out. Word of...

I'll get a sample copy printed for each local business I plan to approach. I use to write for a local newspaper here in Vegas. It was a smaller paper, not the Review Journal, and I gained a lot of experience with sales, writing, marketing, advertising, etc. The magazine is going to be quarterly...

Point taken about Gates, but the old ways of doing print are dying as well. I can launch a print magazine with very little risk on my part. In addition it will also be published on Kindle and possibly other eReader formats. Its not the only part of my plan and I don't plan to become a multi...

That's not true at all. I have 4 books in print right now that actively make money. People still like to hold something in their hand. Also, if you do some digging into some of the film magazines that aren't making money, are they independent or mainstream? The problem with the mainstream...

Money is easy to get if you know the where, when, and the how... Where: Anywhere and everywhere When: Whenever you do anything How: help others more than you help yourself. Most people don't get the last part which is why its so hard for them to make money. The other part of this is that I...

People told Bill Gates the same thing... but here is my rebuttal. Let's assume that it costs $1.00 per issue to print. If they do a 3,000 copy run it costs $3,000 up front. I don't have that problem. My fee comes off the back end after a Barnes and Noble or mom & pop shop places an order (just...

Anything original. Opinion column, reviews, etc. As long as its independent film related I'm open to it.

Thanks for the offer. I'd appreciate that. I sent you a message with my email address.

It will be for print and Kindle.

Right now its open to anything you want related to independent film. I have a few people covering some local events and projects, but more is better.

I'm working on launching a new indie film magazine and I'm looking for volunteer writers for the first issue. If anybody is interested, please let me know. The first issue is scheduled for June.
