My magazine journey started when I was really young, I fell in love with art and design, and made play magazines out of fashion catalogs my older sisters had. Fast forward to a year and a half ago, I took a digital media course and instantly got into graphic design and editing, it pushed me to finally start my own magazine, despite my young age, as I wanted to connect with other creatives, and express my love for where I come from, Africa, through art, design, and other things I love to do such as writing, and networking with other creatives. I'm still learning about the magazine business so these kind of videos really help, thank you!
Hi Nathan, You’re a God sent. Im in South Africa and we’re in the process of launching our online magazine and I need all the help I can get. Will continue following you guys, you’re such an inspiration 🤞🏽

Hello. Been doing online magazine for two years now and I want to scale up especially online presence and monetization - I am in Nairobi and would really love to hear how it has been for you - I could get a hand from you.
I’m glad I found your page. I have always dreamed of starting a magazine. So much so I used to collect them. Years have passed (20 +) and my heart has led me back to this desire. I’m an educator and since that’s my area of expertise, I’m currently working on an education based magazine. I never thought it was possible until I watched your video explaining how to start a digital mag. Thank you for the inspiration and the willingness to share. My biggest questions include the proper procedure for trademarking the mag’s name as well as building ad revenue.
Hey Ryan! This is amazing, great to see you're following your passion. In regards to launching your magazine unfortunately we cannot comment on legal advice around trademarking etc. however in regards to building ad revenue, from our experience that is a broken model. We recommend the subscription based business model + have a multi-platform approach that Mequoda recommends! Hope this helps and best of luck with your new publication! Exciting journey!
Thank you Nathan I was given the message yesterday to start with my magazine 1st issue end of August 2023, 6 weeks from now. I have this on my dreamlist for next year but with all the gifts we received for our 2 year anniversary on the Diamond Beauties Forever group i am compelled to do this now. I am excited but nervous. Your video was the 1st one I watched thank you. Mwah!
Hi nathan I am.starting with my own art magazine soon launching in march 2020 right now I am.working on Its content ,your video is really an inspiration for me cause starting is really daunting for me but watching your video it makes more easy to start than I thought
im also now prepare all content before publish and sell my digital magazine about entrepreneurship. Im before this always interview entrepreneur for printed magazine as a consultant. Nice to know you. And good also if i can interview you:) . Great person.
Thank you Nathan, this video is so helpful to me, I am a lawyer, from South Sudan and I wanted to create a printed magazine, but after watching this video, I decided to go for a Digital Magazine first and maybe print later after building an audience. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hey! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It's great to hear you're looking to start your own magazine! We have other free resources that may help you. Check them out here foundr.com/?s=create+a+magazine
I’m a marketing person with an idea for a digital magazine and came across your video. Thank u. Love it. Would love to dive into more of your content for additional advice.
I launched Ensemble Magazine in the autumn 2020 - it was something that started as a passion project. Something I still do as a side hustle (it earns me no money) but I aim to grow this and reach more people. I do some times struggle to keep an unique lifestyle positioning, especially as there are so many lifestyle brands out there now!
This is so cool Nathan, i am in the process of building a community of followers on Instagram and youTube first before i start my online magazine, but just listening to some of the things you share here is so enriching, this is stuff you pay money to hear someone speak about. Thanks a lot. I will be in touch.
This is educating. So glad i found it. I wanted to ask, how do you grow as a single person and wants a team? You have the vision but you can't find anyone who is shares your idea.
I really enjoyed this Nathan! I started my own urban magazine and there is so much I need/want to learn. I will be watching more and really love FOUNDR.
I produce an independent rock music magazine in my spare time (though have been taking a break during lockdown). Felt like searching for some inspiration this afternoon and found your videos. Love how you've built your brand/mag.
Actually I want to build a digital magazine and I want to know one thing from you you said like software you used to make digital magazine what type of software you use ??
Thank you! I'm working on 2 businesses now, neither have traction yet. I have a lawn company startup, and I'm working on a cultural publication(multiform media magazine). So this was insightful.
hey! nathan.. I'm planning to start a digital mag. but confused over the content, which genre to focus and how to be consistent.. and thanks a lot for ur advice in the video and u r absolutely right with the reason why we are watching this video😄
Hey there, have asked Nathan this question for you as he doesn't actively reply to comments. 'Choose a topic you are extremely passionate about, when it comes to producing a magazine you have to be passionate about the subject, else you will not succeed. When it comes to being consistent, it really comes down to self discipline and asking yourself how bad do you want it?; Hope this helps! -Charlie
Thank you Nathan, we started a digital magazine a few years back, we took a hiatus to grow the website and have since re-launched the magazine. Your words have helped encourage me to carry on. The area I struggle most with is ad sales. The magazine is free as we identified a gap in the market for a magazine that had the look and feel of a paid for read but was available for free, as horse owners often spend most surplus money on their horses. We wanted to give back.
Hi Foundr Team, thanks for the video. I would like to ask a question. Building a digital magazine seems time consuming and requires effort + money from a whole team of designers, content writers etc. Would you suggest that i focus on online courses/membership in the beginning?
It’s a hard question to answer, if you want to build your audience and influence first which is required always to build a digital products business then we would suggest a magazine!
1) Be consistent and patient. 2) Choose a trending, underserved market. 3) Focus on aligning your brand and pay attention to your design. ty M.O.M. ~ Mothers of Mahogany ~ Magazine 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey Nathan, I am on the same magazine platform you are on. I am restructuring my Magazine at the moment. You are 100% right. I just got to stick with it.

I'm currently building my digital literary magazine. How do I go about publishing, website and magazine content creation, team management etc. I seem kinda lost right now. Please help!!!
Thanks so much for the question! There's a lot here for me to go into on one reply- but perhaps it might help more to read through our blog article here - foundr.com/how-to-create-a-digital-magazine Hope you get some value out of it, and let us know if you have any more questions!
Hey, just came across your video and it was great tips. I created a digital magazine back in 2017 as a university project and people seemed to enjoy it, I just can’t seem to find ways to make income on the magazine and take it to the next level.
Hello Nathan, I’m building a lifestyle magazine focused on premium tourism and travel experiences available in my country. My biggest problems is : how to choose the different rubrics to cover this theme? And What is the way to organize the team behind a magazine? Looking forward to hearing from you 🙏🏿

I started a magazine in 2019 called Next up sports. Been a struggle trying to design everything, get all the stories, pics, and get ads to fill the magazine. Trying to figure out ways to get help and build a team. In 3 and half years I’ve built the Facebook to 230,000 followers.

Hello, so I have several years experience in Book publications and now I am start my own company. I am looking to add a e-magazine to go with it but I would like to know about the legal stuff. Does a E-magazine require copyright and ISBN’s
I have tried one in the past and it was successful on a small scale but I wasn't consistent and money - was an issue. I feel everything you are saying and want to try again Nathan. So, I'm going to pretend you are saving to me, "Ev, just give it time - if you keep doing what you are doing - it's going to take off." :)
Hi there, thank you for the amazing video, I found it very informative. Is one of the first things you should do when starting a magazine is building a website or creating a large social media presence?
I just ran across this video and it's exactly what I needed. I'm in the early stages of starting my magazine and it's definitely something I've wanted to do for a while. I would love to be able to connect with you further if possible.
Hey Nathan, Thank you so much for this video. I am currently trying to re-work on a plan to re-start my magazine. Just doing some ground work and hoping to get back on track.
I started Taffy BBW Magazine in March 2020 and I agree it is difficult getting the brand out there, but like you, I am hungry n and I feel that my magazine provides content to the Plus Size Community that is literally nonexistent. I need advice on marketing strategies and how to get models to apply to be featured in the magazine.
Awesome!!! Am based in Nairobi Kenya and we have just started our journey and the project is at the infancy stage. Would be great to have you as mentors
Hi Dan, congratulations on your start... I'm in Nakuru and I'm working on launching my Digital magazine. Hopefully we'll cross paths soon. Best of luck.
Hey Nathan, Firstly, This video was of such a great help for entrepreneurs starting magazines and you have shared priceless advices in this video. I am starting a digital magazine for young writers searching for a magazine to publish their articles. Though, It would be appreciated if you could share your thoughts and recommendations on how to attract young readers and writers. Furthermore, it would be great if you had some recommendation on how to publicize a magazine for free.
Hi.i just created my website (france) for entrepreneurs and for the blog part,i have great content ideas. My question is,what would be the best option between a blog and a webzine? I suppose a webzine requires a team? Which one of these options are better for seo? Sidenote: i know i should but i won't create a cheap blog and articles just for the seo
Hey Tierra, thanks for watching the video! At the moment we don't have this as an offer but definitely check out some of our other FREE content on how you can create and scale your own digital magazine. foundr.com/?s=create+a+magazine

Hello Mr. Nathan. This has been helpful. We are launching a fitness digital magazine and we would appreciate if we could get through certain marketing strategies for improving our number of followers or subscribers. Thanks.

How did go about creating content? Did you use other magazines as inspiration and as a starting point or did it come from what you found online? This video was extremely helpful it gives a good dose of reality instead of where you are now after it hit off. Thank you so much!
This has actually helped me get closer to my goal! So thank you. I didn’t even think about whys to design or the importance of actionable information and content. My question if you can help is I’ve got a podcast similar to Foundr but it’s about Creatives. I would love to expand but I don’t want my website to turn in to a blog/diary how can I insure that I’m actually developing a digital magazine. Thank you for your platform Greta
Hey Nathan. Thanks for the morale boost. Yes trying to start one too. Wondering to protect subscriptions, as in, how to ensure that one person doesn’t download the mag and passes it on for free to people. What are your views on that?
about how much original content do you think is needed to start a magazine? I have an idea that I don't know if I want to make into a Blog or book or magazine. At the rate of producing monthly content I discovered that I have enough material for the next 10-12 years. That is if the bulk of the magazine is on one specific topic. but I don't know if that's enough to carry a magazine? Magazines usually have multiple topics, articles, and categories.

Hey guys, thanks for the video. I wanted to start a digital magazine so the first thing I've actually done is start a blog (well, I've called it a Journal as it sounds more professional.) The blog website is launching today and I planned to somehow seg-way into the digital magazine after getting some readers and checking theres actually an audience (though I'm sure there is since other magazines exist in this niche). But I keep thinking "what am I doing?!" Should I just go straight to the digital magazine and forget the blog until later? I'm also in two minds about going for a digital magazine or going for a subscription-based blog service... Hope you can share your thoughts.
Wowzers, I'm about to watch every video you have ever made! Thank you! Did you prepare an ask document of sorts to interview people of influence? Or was it more of a standard cold-emailing situation?
@@Foundr thank you for responding! Getting on those cold emails as we speak, want to know though, what's the best way to structure a magazine? Link to vid? Pretty sure you would have one already made hey? :)
How would I, as someone just starting and on a super tight budget, get those influential people in my topic to participate in my magazine...? Great videos, these have been helping me immensely!!
Hi Nathan, i really thank you for this clip, it helps me alot. But i have a question. In my country Somalia, people don't like to pay subscriptions nor they like to preorder staff. So in that, my magazine is not taking off to the roof. How is it if i start app for my magazine which i think my loos the apperance?

I have tried one in the past and it was successful on a small scale but I wasn't consistent and money - was an issue. I feel everything you are saying and want to try again Nathan. So, I'm going to pretend you are saving to me, "Ev, just give it time - if you keep doing what you are doing - it's going to take off." :)
i started my magazine/blog in 2009 is being hard because i get few readership but its a fun business
It's a notoriously difficult business! What's your magazine?
Hi there, thank you for the amazing video, I found it very informative. Is one of the first things you should do when starting a magazine is building a website or creating a large social media presence?

This is all great info for the magazine universe, but what tips would you have for hyper-local publications transitioning from paper to digital?
I started Taffy BBW Magazine in March 2020 and I agree it is difficult getting the brand out there, but like you, I am hungry n and I feel that my magazine provides content to the Plus Size Community that is literally nonexistent. I need advice on marketing strategies and how to get models to apply to be featured in the magazine.
Awesome!!! Am based in Nairobi Kenya and we have just started our journey and the project is at the infancy stage. Would be great to have you as mentors
Hi Dan, congratulations on your start... I'm in Nakuru and I'm working on launching my Digital magazine. Hopefully we'll cross paths soon. Best of luck.
Sounds great!
Hey Nathan,

I am starting a digital magazine for young writers searching for a magazine to publish their articles. Though, It would be appreciated if you could share your thoughts and recommendations on how to attract young readers and writers. Furthermore, it would be great if you had some recommendation on how to publicize a magazine for free.
Glad it was helpful!

If i run a photography company . Do i need a seperate llc for magazine publishing? Or can it be branded under the same thing
Hey Isaiah! This would be region specific, so look up the local business laws in your area for help on this one!
Hi.i just created my website (france) for entrepreneurs and for the blog part,i have great content ideas.
My question is,what would be the best option between a blog and a webzine? I suppose a webzine requires a team?
Which one of these options are better for seo?
Sidenote: i know i should but i won't create a cheap blog and articles just for the seo
Definitely the blog-- especially for SEO. Start with the blog and go from there!

Thanks again . Very insightful

Looking into what it takes to really do this. Gathering info at the moment.
Thank you for this.
You're most welcome! 😉
How did go about creating content? Did you use other magazines as inspiration and as a starting point or did it come from what you found online? This video was extremely helpful it gives a good dose of reality instead of where you are now after it hit off. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching Jady !
This has actually helped me get closer to my goal! So thank you. I didn’t even think about whys to design or the importance of actionable information and content.
My question if you can help is I’ve got a podcast similar to Foundr but it’s about Creatives. I would love to expand but I don’t want my website to turn in to a blog/diary how can I insure that I’m actually developing a digital magazine.
Thank you for your platform

Hey Nathan. Thanks for the morale boost. Yes trying to start one too. Wondering to protect subscriptions, as in, how to ensure that one person doesn’t download the mag and passes it on for free to people. What are your views on that?

about how much original content do you think is needed to start a magazine? I have an idea that I don't know if I want to make into a Blog or book or magazine. At the rate of producing monthly content I discovered that I have enough material for the next 10-12 years. That is if the bulk of the magazine is on one specific topic. but I don't know if that's enough to carry a magazine? Magazines usually have multiple topics, articles, and categories.

Hey guys, thanks for the video.
I wanted to start a digital magazine so the first thing I've actually done is start a blog (well, I've called it a Journal as it sounds more professional.)
The blog website is launching today and I planned to somehow seg-way into the digital magazine after getting some readers and checking theres actually an audience (though I'm sure there is since other magazines exist in this niche).
But I keep thinking "what am I doing?!"
Should I just go straight to the digital magazine and forget the blog until later?
I'm also in two minds about going for a digital magazine or going for a subscription-based blog service...
Hope you can share your thoughts.

Wowzers, I'm about to watch every video you have ever made! Thank you!
Did you prepare an ask document of sorts to interview people of influence? Or was it more of a standard cold-emailing situation?
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this one. Nathan would send out standard cold emails in the beginning!
@@Foundr thank you for responding! Getting on those cold emails as we speak, want to know though, what's the best way to structure a magazine? Link to vid? Pretty sure you would have one already made hey? :)
How would I, as someone just starting and on a super tight budget, get those influential people in my topic to participate in my magazine...? Great videos, these have been helping me immensely!!
