Definitely the contents. A lot of gossip magazines have the best pictures, great colors, awesome quality of paper, but the don't interest me. Give me substance, good contents, good columns and ideas.  That's what I buy.

Suggestions For Building Your Subscription Business\n\nIT'S FREE\n\nAs an Independent agent of  , your opportunities are unlimited to build your subscription business. As an agent, you are authorized to use magazine covers in any of your own promotional material. You are allowed to market your business any way that you want. Here are a few suggestions to help build your business.\n\n\n(1) Think large for the long term, but think small in the beginning. Start your business by contacting people that you know ( friends, family, neighbors etc. ). Let these people know that you are in business, and explain to them what a convenient service you provide. Sample promotional letters are available upon request. For example:  Since the average household takes approximately six magazine subscriptions, by ordering and renewing through you, they would only have to write one check, one time, to you, for all of their subscription needs. The customer also does not have to deal with any customer service issues, so if there is a problem, you can handle it for them (by contacting our office ).\n\n(2) Network your subscription business as a fund-raiser. Contact local schools, churches, civic groups etc. who want to raise money for their organization and keep a percentage of sales as your profit.\n\n(3) Take advantage of any gift giving occasion ( holidays, birthdays, engagements, graduations, etc.) Keep a log of all special occasions for your customers. For example:\nWhen it is the birthday of the mother of your customer, contact the customer and suggest a subscription as a gift. Not only will your customer had not thought of previously. Again, you are providing a service and your customer will probably be glad that you called and made the suggestion.\n\n(4) Contact local business who having waiting areas (family doctor, pediatrician, dentist, beautician, mechanics etc.) More than likely, these offices have someone who is designated to handle magazine renewals in addition to their other job responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity for you to offer your service at little or no additional cost to the customer.\n\n\n(5) Ask existing customers for referrals. Most businesses get their start this way. For example: Your beautician built his or her client base from referrals of existing customers. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertisement.\n\n(6) Contact your local Chamber of Commerce to get a listing of businesses ( and their address / Phone Number) in your area. Write a letter of introduction, or use our suggested letter of introduction, to contact them. There may be a small fee to get this list.\n\n(7) Contact large businesses in your area. These employees not only have reception areas, but the management staff usually receive a variety of subscriptions.\n(8) Keep updates on new residents in your area. Write a letter to welcome them to the community and tell them about your service. Form a business relationship with a local company that deals with major purchases ( real estate brokers, car salesman ). Suggest that they give a gift subscription to any new customer who makes a purchase. If you deal with a real estate broker, you will know who the new residents in the community are, and you can contact them for other subscription business.\n\n(9) Build relationships with your customers. Follow up with existing customers on a regular basis ( every 3 mos. ) to make sure that they are happy with their subscriptions. And there are NO problems. Hint: Customers follow up is crucial to your business. If you do not follow up, your credibility can be destroyed. If you only call your customers once a year (when it is time to renew ), they will be less likely to renew through you if there have been problems and you were not available to handle them throughout the year.\n\nHere is a suggested contact schedule:\n\n1st Contact - Make the subscription sale. Let the customer know that you will be contacting them in approximately 3 months to v

as far as an article on a magazine, you should try and submit to smaller magazine first, probably short run presses.  SOmething topic related.  If the magazine is about restaurants, try to go review a restaurant.  If your writing about a certain movie, right a movie review.  If the magazine is about real estate, write an article for real estate trends in the next 18 months.  Sumbit the article, however i don't think you will get paid for your first article, if the magazine publishes, and then they might ask you to write another article in their next issue, and may want to pay you for it.

Dude, \n\nIf you are going to make a magazine, I HOPE you are not going to be the editor. You need to find someone with proper spelling and grammar that can fix what you write. \n\nBesides that... I think TOP NOTCH is a good name.

It would be fantastic...\n\n1) However, make sure the "gossip" are thought and mind provoking and not "pointing" and this magazine will be a reference beleive me...\n\n2) It is greatly needed, so include some accountable articles also based on facts.\n\n3) Makes sure you expose the links between Politics and religions and expose them... \n\n4) Makes sure you also include a space for Agnostics, Atheists and science and antropoly as well as Philosophy and do not neglect Asian religions as Hindu Buddhist put together is THE largest religion in the world.\n\n\nGo ahead, because a magazine like that would actually educate in a world where some religious organization tend to forget the basic fondamental of communications: " It is not what you say that counts - It only is: What is understood"...\n\nI would love to know more: email me: vayu9999@yahoo.com

That's going to be hard to find.  By definition independant magazines don't have huge distribution.  You're not likely to find anything to your description.  Your best bet would be to check out some hip hop retail stores (clothing, music etc....) and get some leads from them as to what the good regional magazines are.  Then instead of spending a bunch of money advertizing in a mag with huge circulation spend smaller amounts advertizing in multiple regional mags.  \n\nNot to mention there are other ways to advertize on a budget esp in urban culture.  build a myspace site, go to local shows, do a stickering campaign where you canvas a city and put up stickers all over the place etc...  all very inexpensive and conducive to spreading the message by word of mouth.
