Feb. 2012 Temerity Magazine is 1 year old By Chad T. Everson

Open publication – Free publishing – More Temerity Magazine

Temerity Magazine is 1 year old!

We are on pace to really grow in 2012! We will be publishing 4 issues in 2012 as well as some great e-books for you, the relic and treasure hunter. Temerity Magazine is truly a unique and accessible platform for any relic and treasure hunters or businesses to share their passion for this exciting hobby and industry. One of the challenges in growing and having such great success is finding ways to monetize the effort so we can continue to grow and provide great products to our growing readership.

One of the basic goals I had was to offer this magazine for free so that no one would be kept from enjoying reading our great publication and authors. So, subscriptions are not an option for monetizing the effort. My hope was that businesses would want to pay to advertise in our publication to reach this growing and dynamic relic and treasure audience. We are about 5000 strong in readership right now. We will double and triple that early this year.

I wanted to take this opportunity to ask our readers for ideas on monetizing this effort. I am always encouraging our authors and readers to join me in providing great products to our readership. I am looking for t-shirt and promotional product businesses to partner with or buy a license to offer Temerity Magazine products to our readership in the hopes that income from this could put food on both our tables.

Some of our e-books we have coming out will be free to our readership, while others we will be charging minimal fees after I can raise the $500 to upgrade my publishing account.

There is a possibility of Temerity Magazine running some metal detecting seeded hunt events in the future to raise much needed funds and encourage more to join us in this great hobby.

I am looking for any and all ideas on how to monetize this effort while still reaching out and providing opportunities for those with Temerity to put food on their tables as well.

Since I am a one man shop, if a sales person would want to take on procuring advertising for Temerity Magazine and my other efforts, I would gladly split the proceeds with them for their hard work! Being a one man shop, it is not easy to carry out all the tasks that need to be done to grow Temerity magazine. The sales would be a great way for someone to create their own income stream and in turn assist Temerity Magazine with its goals and growth.

I am not ruling out charging subscriptions in the future as I must do whatever it takes to monetize and keep this effort going. But, if I can be creative enough, I would really love to keep Temerity Magazine free for our readers!

The single most effective assistance that you could offer Temerity Magazine is to write for us and promote our magazine to your friends, family and contacts through email and social networking. Feel free to embed the magazine on your site and forums! The more readers the greater chance to attract advertisers.
