This year, instead of spending $20 million on ads, Pepsi has decided to give it away! Yes, that's right. I signed up my magazine for a $25K grant, and so can you. But first, will you vote for my magazine to receive a grant for this month? :) It's re…

Free vs Subscription vs Retail

Free Magazines
Hello to all the magazines who offer their publications for free on newsstands, etc! I've noticed that many of the free publications also offer paid subscriptions (for the same magazine, but simply delivered to customer's door). Can someone give me…

If you pay peanuts, you tend to get monkeys. If you want professional quality material, you need to commission professional writers, and you should expect to pay them for their creativity, their integrity, their research, and their time. I'm not say…
