lord_casek Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 this is bad ass and very cheap. figured some of you might find it very useful. http://magcloud.com/ About Us 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. How much does it cost? It costs you nothing to publish a magazine on MagCloud. To buy a magazine costs 20¢ per page, plus shipping. For example, a 20-page magazine would be four bucks plus shipping. And you can make money! You set your issue price and all proceeds above the base price go to you. How are they printed? MagCloud uses HP Indigo technology, so every issue is custom-printed when it’s ordered. Printing on demand means no big print runs, which means no pre-publishing expense. Magazines are brilliant full color on 80lb paper with saddle-stitched covers. They look awesome. What do I need to do to participate? You’ll need a PayPal account or major credit card to buy magazines, and publishers will need a PayPal account so we can pay you earnings. To create a magazine, you’ll need to upload a PDF, which means you’ll have to create your magazine in a program that outputs high-res PDFs like Adobe® InDesign. During our Beta orders must be sent to a US shipping address. Do I need to join? Anyone can browse magazines on MagCloud today. You need an account to publish magazines.

Mercer Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm probably going to use this, I've been looking for something like this myself and haven't been satisfied. Have you used this personally or know someone who cosigned this company as a non shady business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
