In soliciting articles, you can make use of your social media and website. Try to be creative and enthusiastic about your magazine and make sure that you outline the general topic and the basics of what you want to see for their articles. You also have to post the price for the accepted articles.

To make sure that you meet all the costs and expenses, you can always look for people who wants an ad space. This way, you can fill some of the space and help pay the other fees for the whole project. But be sure to offer a reasonable price since you are just starting.

You need to edit all the articles that you have collected. Then you should make the layout and the design for the spreads. When you are finished with everything, you have to think about your printing options. You can do it on your own or pay for a cheaper printing service. While you are at it, do not stop marketing your future pieces.
