Magazine

[Mystic S60]

What does everone think about making a Stance Low is a Lifestyle Magazine. It would feature our cars not some million dollar promo cars. people could send in thier pics and bios for publication. and then our sponsors could realy get thier name out there. What do you guys think? I'm in for making it happen. We could also do tech section on how to do some stuff like rolling the fenders. picking the right spacers and wheels and so on.

They have those magazines, they are called PVW and PBMW.

And those "million dollar promo cars" most of the time are cars that people have poured, years of time and money into building.

My name is Patrick I'm from Louisville Ky. I just got off the phone with a pulisher and they looked at some of the cars on the forum and said I had a great Idea for a new magazine. The million dollar cars I was talking about are the ones the car company make and never produce they tease us with pics of i fixed up and lowered version but never make the car. The ones we pour our money into is what would be in the magazine.

well I just got off the phone with a publisher and he said thats dumb

people still buy magazines? i thought print media was dead

[Kielan]

Of course a publisher would say you have a good idea, they want to make money. Think about the market you are getting into, the companies that are in it have been in it for a whole and wouldn't be going anywhere. And right now is a horrible time (IMO) to get into this, we are in a world that is trending toward digital everything, print magazines are already beginning to get phased out.

Thats why the publisher I talked to said that was dumb,
he said you'd be better off on a forum.....hey wait a second.....!!

go with it- however know that to get a magazine up and running is everybit of 30k just to have shitty paper - add onto that paying writers,for photos, all that other shit- your looking at some serious coin

freeskier which puts out around 18k copies a month costs with travel, photos, and all the other shit around 38k a month to produce- plus start up costs of well over 100 grand


my vote is create a webmag- get in contact with advertisers, and start small

Hell you could even just start a blog...


On second thought, don't there, are a million billion stance/fitment blogs out there, the web doesn't really need another.
