I'm really starting to get excited that one idea I had at the get-go when musing about creating a new magazine - the concept of an advert-free motorbike mag - might actually be possible.. Standard practise tells us not; when some little rags, like the freebies are almost nothing but ads. Now I am not having a pop at any other magazine here, neither am I an advert-hater but really; when you have to trawl thru page after page of glossy insurance ads or the already-well-known major parts supplier's catalogues.. it sometimes gets a but much! I just dug the idea of Junk being a little more elegant somehow. It is nigh on impossible to do a magazine devoid of ads if you have a bunch of big overheads like building rent, staff and investers to pay out of the pot, but that's the advantage a micro-business has (probably one of the only advantages).
1 man, 1 camera, 1 pc.. :)
With the support of all our new subscribers across the U.K., the U.S. and further afield we can perhaps achieve my vision of a features-only magazine I think. So, please consider a sub if you haven't already, and help be a part of something a bit different maybe..?!!!

It's an ideal worth chasing mate, but principles don't pay the rent. Take the filthy lucre if push comes to shove.
ReplyDeleteYES but NO.. - I'm going to try and keep this ONE magazine free of clutter - but IF they come along I will run adverts on the inner and outer back cover and the inner front.. It's about something more than profit for me this proj!!
ReplyDeleteI think ppl will come to thank me & if there's enough direct sales it will probably work.. :)
