The real problem arises when the idea itself is daft, it is destined to get negative feedback. The theory may be fine but some home produced content free-sheet by a non-journalist with a focus on ads is so perversely naive as to attract the well intentioned ridicule... DONT DO IT!!

This forum has been sliding rapidly in terms of so-called "entrepreneurial" ideas of late... 'tis no wonder the better posters/advisors are gone south!!

Like the OP says, if there are others doing it and clearly making money out of it then there is a market for it - that's basic enough stuff really.

As I said before don't believe the hype - print media may have declined but it is hundreds of years old and most definitely not on the way out.

Il know not to take your advice anyway. Just got the first issue out. i know I will have a july, august and september issue out from the block advertising ive got already so its looking good. If you really think the idea is "daft" then why are so many doing it?

Just because things dont work out for in your life doesnt mean others will be the same. Go back to sleep lol

Fair play to you.

Nah, it could be done in 3 weeks, just look at the quality of the OP's language, grammar and punctuation!

3 weeks? This idea started for me last year and since then i have been doing my homework.. if you think all the market research I done was posting here then your very much mistaken. If it was that easy sure we all would be millionaires lol

Congrats for getting the first issue out, hopefully enough of the 2000 readers will convert for your advertisers that they'd like to continue advertising. That will be the real test.

Thank you.. baby steps first i think lol
