Hi,
I'll have to disagree with TerraCotta
3-5 years to become profitable? Joke of the century. Don't
tell that to Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase or Ibe Kachikwu
Print publishing is dying? My goodness! Don't tell that
to Dele Momodu or Nduka Obaigbena.
Despite the phenomenal growth of the internet, nothing
beats holding a quality magazine and curling up on a
couch.
Back to the crux of the matter.
There are many factors you should consider that will
determine the cost.
- Number of copies you want to print
- Printing material types you want to use (gsm weight for example)
- Type of graphic design you desire
- Staff hiring
- Cost of getting stories
- Other logistics
And many many more.
You're the only one that has the answer. From there
you'll determine your cost
I've been involved with the publishing of a magazine
starting from ground zero and it became profitable
from the first issue despite the fact that there were
no external ads.
As Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase once said, if you can't
profit or break even without advertising revenue, then
don't do it.
All the best.
