Please i want to know How do i find advertisers for my new magazine? Id like to do an initial printing of 1,000 i also need to find customers. I have no reasonable budget to speak of and im worried. Please any advice will go along way thanks nairalanders.

Start off using google adsense, or services like that. That should at least give you some revenue, while waiting for actual advertisers. For the actuals, you will need some solid data (traffic, etc) to convince them as to why they should spend money on you, as opposed to the other guy.

Good luck!

Are you talking about hard copy magazines?

Yap hard copy...thanks for your time i apreciate

Before you commence anything make sure your magazine has very good content. Your magazine has to be able to sell. If a potential advertiser thinks your magazine is junk, he will never use your magazine as an advertising medium.
We'll if you are are restricted financially, the best option is word of mouth. Spread the info that you need advertisers to as many people as you can get. These days everybody knows someone that has a business and that person could likely be searching for a medium of advertisement.
If you want to go further(and bigger) then you need an advertising agency. They'll handle all the messy parts and get you your advertisers. Although their fees might be quite high.
Use social media, distribute your business cards, give discounts to the customers you already have. You could also tell them that if they a refer another advertiser, they'll get a commission from the proceeds you make from him.
Try using these points, think of any more and with a tinge of luck you may get advertisers swarming all over your magazine- only if you have great content.
Hoped this helped.
