Publish your own magazines

MagCloud enables you to publish your own magazines. All you have to do is upload a PDF and we'll take care of the rest: printing, mailing, subscription management, and more. To buy a magazine costs 20¢ per page, plus shipping. For example, a 20-page magazine would be four bucks plus shipping.

However. If you went to Lulu, and selected a black-and-white saddle-stitched format — let’s say 6×9, randomly — the base cost for 40pp of that is a hair over five dollars. Go mad, set your mark-up so the sales price is $8 — same cost as an issue of The Believer. Interzone’s $7. (PODmag via Warren Ellis)

Actually, my magazine (Interrobang) is launching next month, and we’re using Lulu with similar specifications to the ones you outlined: 6X9 B&W (Color cover), 64pp, with a cost of $3.53 for manufacture since we’re ordering an initial run of 100

Go through Createspace; any size, any pagecount up to 108 pages, a base price of $3.66.

i like paper too. i publish print-on-demand greeting cards online via cafepress, do great business, and have never entertained the thought of e-cards. i guess if e-cards hasn’t killed greeting cards, then there’s still life left in printed magazines.
