How Long Does It Take to Self-Publish a Magazine? (Digital or Print)

By Digital Magazine, magazine, Magazine Planner, Print Magazine, Self-Publishing Magazine

Deciding to self-publish a magazine is exciting when you think of all the connections you’ll make and the new revenue opportunities that will open up. But, one thing that prevents people from moving forward is not knowing how long the process takes or the steps from idea to publication.

While the timeline can vary depending on your other time commitments and the skill level of everyone involved, I’ve worked out a production calendar to follow that helps us stay on deadline and budget with our clients.

In this video, you will see (for the very first time) the proprietary self-publishing planner that I created and use to help our clients stay on deadline and budget.

You will see how long it takes to self-publish a magazine including:

  • how many weeks total it takes for your first issue to go from idea to in-hand
  • the important first step most new self-publishers make when trying to launch that usually ends up in missed revenue
  • an overview of the step-by-step process 
  • how much time to plan for each step in the process

How to Land Advertisers for Your Self Published Magazine

By How to Land Advertisers for Your Self Published Magazine, Magazine Publishing, Magazine Self-Publishing, Magazines, marketing, Self Publishing, Self Publishing a Magazine, Self-Published Magazine

What if you could create low-tech marketing for your business that actually paid for itself or created recurring, passive income?

Selling advertising in your self-published magazine makes this possible.

For example, if you spent $5k to self-publish a digital and print magazine plus build out the subscriber website, social media posts, and all the other bells and whistles, you would only need to sell five full-page ads at $1000 each in order to get the system built!

With only five sales, you would break even, and pocket the remaining advertising revenue as profit every time you publish.

Plus, you’d have a marketing tool that could be used to:

  • build your industry authority
  • generate leads from your website
  • close better deals with prospects
  • sell more to your existing clients
  • stay top of mind with referral partners
  • and more!

But, what would make a business want to advertise in your magazine? What tools do you need in place in order to land sales? Is it possible to land advertisers if your business is brand new?

I answer those questions and more in this week’s video.
