Why cant you make an online mag and see how many times its downloaded based on the IP address and then ask for people to donate to keep it going untill you can actally print. Doing a PDF file mag for awhile has a lot less printing costs on your end.
You bring a valid point SI, but for me, I want the feel of a magazine. Something you throw in your travel bag when catching a plane. I guess since I have 3 sometimes 4 computers I work on a day, I get burnt out on computers. I remember the ol rag Maximum Rock & Roll, they had in the back, individual scene reports about music and what not. I still have a couple of good rag subscriptions like JUXTAPOZ and Military History. I would definitely by the mag. I know my family has saved about 20 or 30 yrs. of Hot Rod Mags and sometimes they have info that saves the day! I am a pack rat by nature, so it would be another collection for me to start. I finally gave up comic books which was hard to do, I stopped at the 8000 + mark lol. There is so much you can do with a Mag, you would be surprised how much info is out there (even if it is limited in scope). If it develops like your Web site SoCal, it would definitely succeed. If it is done right and professionally, people will buy it, even car buffs. It would definitely warrant a trial at the very least. I have some printing and some publishing experience, I would be willing to promote, distribute, lick stamps, whatever....It sounds like a good deal to me. Sometimes, technology has its drawbacks, I like tradition and keeping some tradition sacred. I love technology, it is how I make my coin now, but I like some things to stay old school, like reading the printed word on paper (recycled paper preferrably) but I think you get my drift. Isay GO FOR IT! Heck, if need, have "pin-up girl and guy" but not together lol...ok my rant is over....
Thanks Fenris222. Afterall we are living in the computer age
I hear ya SI, I mean that is the way things are, you have to have web access as well, the two rags I mentioned, have Web sites and I check them out all the time. You definitely have to attain a good medium...Like I said your point was a good one...
