Re: [DML] DeLorean magazines.

If advertisers pay for your time to put it together and publish it (free) online, then it will get passed around a lot.   Exposure would certainly increase dramatically for everyone involved.   There are tons of free online magazines that get sponsored via advertisement.

I too would prefer a free download over hard copy.   Makes life faster, easier, and more "green".

Wouldn't it be amazing if a person in some corner of the world that is DMC deprived started to get into Deloreans, found a free publication they could readily download, and in the midst of reading it all, see advertisements for all the vendors, clubs, and shows?!   I bet you would pick up tons of readers (globally) in a heartbeat if it was a free download.

With printing and shipping costs eliminated, design time would be the only real cost.

I totally disagree with this statement below.

The suggestion was to do it for free or for advertising
Anyone out there willing to pay the advertising fees?????
I thought so.
to pay for it per hit is interesting but we did not find the volume needed when we looked at it before.
We always consider the possibilities but so far it did not show any promise.

If we put it online it will get sold to a few and then copies will float.
You would be surprised the number of people that call and ask for a free copy just because they know me.
We have discussed this with the other publishers as well.  There is no way to control what happens to a download once it is done and the way things get copied we felt it would lead to a quicker death of the magazines.

If the publications die, it will NOT be the fault of the community.. But the fault of the publishers who don't change with the times. Many main-stream publications have gone to electronic-only formats, and there is a good reason for it.
