How Do You Start A Hip Hop Magazine?
Starting a magazine in any industry is very challenging, but if you’ve got a great passion for hip hop, you might have what it takes to start a successful niche publication. Taking every step of the process into account before you begin will help you to lay out an appropriate plan from the beginning. Adequate preparation will ensure that your venture is long-lived and potentially even turn a profit. Design the magazine. How many pages would you like it to be, how many photos will you include, and what sizes will the photos be? Will the pages be glossy? How will it be bound? Make sure you’ve answered all of these questions before you continue. Locate a print shop that can implement the design you want. Start with local printing businesses. Even a UPS Store or FedEx/Kinkos can do basic printing and binding. Recruit a team of writers and editors. Posting help wanted ads on Craigslist and notifying writing-related newsletter publishers about your need will get the word out fast. From there
