Question

How can a magazine attract a larger audience?

Community Answer

Creativity and content quality will be two crucial factors when it comes to increasing a magazine's popularity. You'll want to ensure that the content you publish is both creative and varied, meaning you don't repeat the same stories over and over again.

Yes, if you are willing to put a lot of time and effort into editing the magazine in Word. It is recommended that you use Publisher instead, though.

Question

How do I get the pictures off my camera?

Community Answer

To get pictures off the camera, there are two options: Connect the camera to your computer using a USB cable and transfer the pictures/videos from the camera folder to your computer. Or, take out the camera's SD card and slide it into your computer. This will also allow you to pull the photos from the SD card onto your computer.

Question

How do I choose article topics for my magazine?

Community Answer

Think about your target audience (i.e. the people you hope will read your magazine). You should choose the topics that are most interesting to your target audience -- and, of course, articles that fit under the umbrella of whatever theme you've chosen for your magazine. For example, a magazine targeting teen girls will likely include articles about makeup and the latest clothing fashions.

Question

How do I publish a magazine to sell at school?

Community Answer

You can ask your teachers for permission if needed and hand them out to your friends or to other people as they go past you, like handing out flyers. You can also put them in a stack in your classroom or somewhere else so anyone who is interested can pick one up. Selling it on school property will likely require special permission from the administration.

Question

How do I print without wasting my money on a printer?

Community Answer

Print at work or in a public place, like a library. Be careful because some libraries or public places charge for using colored ink.

Question

Do you think people will be interested in a magazine that has illustrations of other interesting magazine covers?

Community Answer

If you want to do a feature (story) on interesting magazine covers in your magazine, maybe. But definitely not a whole magazine on that subject. You should try to create your own original material as much as possible.
