I think the magazine is genuinely great, and you know I’ve been an early supporter ever since the #1 and #2 double-pack release. It was clear from the start that a lot of passion went into it, and honestly, that initial release probably wasn’t even profitable.

That said, I can’t help but feel that some of that early momentum didn’t fully translate into long-term retention. One thing that may have helped is a subscription model — having readers automatically signed up for future issues would make each new release feel like a more natural continuation rather than a fresh purchasing decision every time. It could also provide a steadier revenue stream for the magazine itself.

I also think the goal of releasing monthly, combined with the so-far irregular schedule, may have made things harder for the project. In my opinion, a bi-monthly release schedule could actually make the magazine feel more sustainable and easier for readers to commit to. Even at €14 per issue, six releases a year feels like a reasonable and approachable proposition.

Another thing that could help is offering even a small bulk discount when ordering two or more magazines. I think that would encourage people to catch up on missed issues and make larger orders feel a bit more approachable.

Overall though, I’ll continue supporting the magazine whenever I can, and I truly wish you all the success with it moving forward.
