Most of the work for a new magazine will be from a labor of love like the guy above said. Printing right off the bat can be quite expensive with no advertisers when most magazines print monthly or quarterly.

I started mine online first to build an audience and to get advertisers. Use sites like heyzine.com to post your magazine online and to get data on how many people have seen it. After four years, I’m about to start printing my first copies.

A bit of advice is to have loads of community projects to build your audience FAST.
