Guest haze-e Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 What was going through my mind when thinking about it was how many people do i know that actually buy magazines? sh*t RWDmag was free remember. Noone i know would buy magazines and anything id really need is on the net anyway, so other than Advertising all over a website, how could i profit from this?? That kinda killed me tbh but as you said MG nowadays 'urban culture' has kinda blown up. You never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone i know would buy magazines and anything id really need is on the net anyway, so other than Advertising all over a website, how could i profit from this?? That kinda killed me tbh but as you said MG nowadays 'urban culture' has kinda blown up. You never know... But has it blown up enough for it to be a sustainable interest nationwide? Magazines, especially lads mags, still do pretty well, circulation of about 300k, but that's cuz every hetero man likes tits and cars and mangled body parts n sh*t Does every man wanna see JLS and Tinchy and all these other people who are generally appreciated by teenage girls That's my concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Esquilax Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 well obv u would start as an online mag and generate revenue thru adverts etc/ if theres enough of a buzz u put out a small syndication and grown from there once a month etc.. those chicks will defo buy it. if tinchy stryder can sell one million records then him, tinie ndubs etc can sell a hundred thousand mags every month. Of course, but you can't just change the tone like that. You can't be appealing to doe eyed teen girl fantasies whilst simultaneously showcasing bitch-du-jour's arse and tits is what I'm saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 aimed at city guys Not sure about this 2bh. / "Good writing and polished look" is the crux. Without being a c*nt have spotted countless inconsistencies and errors in this nupe one but like OP says if sorted then has potential.

YesWeCain Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 What you have here is a profitable model if targeted in the right ways but I would suggest you’re going to be a price taker. The neo-classical Magazine Market consists of Oligopolistic firms so its vital you find out the market price before taking it, when doing this you can begin to find out about your profit maximisation by using the marginalist rule to find the market Revenue and market Cost and seeing where your surplus is before going on to work out a profitable unit per price. Trust me in this as your product is at a very weak stage where you need to react quickly to demands in your market given the Oligopolistic firms that have the resources behind them to produce a section if you like, in their magazine that could represent everything you stand for. Good luck, it is a tough decision and I hope you do well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Planet Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 We will be doing minor updates every few days, so news and what not, but major editions will come out every 2 months, because as we are all students it would be in our best interest until we get a much bigger team.
