    That's what sucks about fitness magazines today. There aren't enough supplement ads.

    LOL. seriously. How many times can they rewrite the same nonsense over and over again.

    My girl gets fitness, women's health, etc.. you name it. They all say the exact same common sense things plagarized from the previous issue. (exercise, stretch, don't deep-fry Snickers and eat them at 3am, etc...)

    And don;t even get me started on the bs supplement ads.

    Insider tip, some catalogs and magazines cost as much as $8-$10 to print, so they would lose money off subscriptions where they get $1.50-$2 direct. We get free mags all the time at the salon. The more readers, the more they can say how many people read it when they present to an advertiser.

    Not when you have an advertisement on every 3rd page, the advertisers are putting together almost 1/3rd of the content of the magazine!

    I'm not real verse, tell me what type of costs go into a magazine besides printing, editing, writing, and marketing?

    I publish several magazines, one being a high gloss 5.5" x 8.5" dining and entertainment guide.

    Print cost is absolutely rediculous. It's so extreme that the only way most companies can afford to keep printing them is through advertising sales. Fortunately for the fitness magazines, Supplement manufacturers have deep pockets. The rest of us small guys aren't fortunate enough to have such a large and well-funded client base.

    It's all the same the business's only product is that magazine, it all comes out of those profits. Kind of reminds me of the girls at my body jewelry store when ever I get a new order and only knock a few bucks off for employees. They always say " you only paid $2.75 for that belly ring, why can't I pay that?" They never think about the waste factor (xyz of a certain # of jewelry will break and get tossed) and the huge expenses I paid before I ordered them.

    I meant the magazine itself, not the business of being in magazines. I get your drift though.

    BTW your avatar makes me want to hump my nmonitor.

    Still don't see the difference, it all goes into and out of the same business account (actually most places, me included have multiple accounts ) no power, no paper

    I was talking more the figures to create the magazine.

    Distribution of the magazine has nothing to do with its creation. Fossil fuels cost money to mine indpendent of the sales of gasoline, even though (obviously) gasoline sales PAY for the mining of oil. But whatever we are splicing hairs.

    Point made.

    Before anyone goes "that's great, how lucky" sometimes I just want to slit my wrist There is always something that pops up to fuk up your day I had to sell almost everything I had to get started and keep it running. I n the long run it will pay off big, but 7days a week can wear you down

    OK, out of a 230+ muscle and fitness magazine, there was only 26 pages that MIGHT be considered somewhat useful in a small way.
