Actually, I think that the previous Raw and SmackDown magazines which used to be published a few years ago were far better. The articles were compiled and sorted much better. In the current magazines, the pages are filled with simply pictures and short paragraphs or quotes accompanying them, which doesn’t make them look as good.

Women can keep up with the latest trends in fashion and make up by reading Elle Magazine every month.  Elle provides pictures and information about affordable yet fashionable clothes and accessories.

Located in New York, the staff behind Elle consider “fashion, beauty, and style” to be the main features of the magazine.  They also provide an archive online for readers to take a look at issues from the past.

Subscribers rave about the quality of information Elle Magazine provides.  The magazine’s features and overall layout is great.  Every page is worth looking at, and every word is worth reading.  There’s a reason why this magazine is so popular—it has everything!  That being said, the price of subscription is definitely worth the cost.  Elle Magazine is not only great, but it’s also affordable.  It’s worth every penny and then some!

I recently received a poignant yet corny SMS message from a pal in Scotland, it read The world has been Obamarized! The fascination, amongst Africans, with all things African-American certainly goes way back. If you’ve lived in Africa this isn’t news at all, and now, with Barack Obama becoming the very first African-American president of the United States Of America I can only see the Obamarization of the world — and especially Africa — getting bigger and louder by the day. Africans are now going totally bonkers over all things African-American. This article will reveal the possibilities of you making an enormous amount of money off the back of Ebony magazine — a highly sought after AND well overpriced African-American magazine (among other black magazines) on the African continent.

In East Africa, where Obama’s father was born, Ebony magazine is selling in the streets for up to a whopping $15 a copy. You and I both know it doesn’t cost THAT much in America. In fact, it only costs $3.99 off the street and about $18.97 for an annual subscription comprising 12 issues. Why then is it so horrendously expensive in Africa? I did some research and went on to start my very own distribution network in the region; and here is how you too can start a home-based business selling Ebony magazines to Africa.

Based in Dar es salaam, it was pretty easy for me to collate this information because I live here. And what set me on this fascinating trail - believe it or not, was when I purchased Ebony magazine with Janet Jackson on the cover (I’m a HUGE fan of hers), and in that particular issue - April 2008, it read Does Janet Still Have It. I paid almost $15 for it and I thought… what a cheek! These magazines don’t cost that much. I knew what an annual subscription costs, and this price just wasn’t on. It was a blatant rip off! But hey, someone was making money from this and so I sought to find out who and how!

In my quest, I went on to interview newspaper and magazine vendors in the streets of Dar es salaam. The general feedback not only astounded me, it flashed and flaunted dollar signs to my face. I just HAD to get a piece of the action. I would be utterly mad not to. I did establish one thing though, that THEY (the vendors) wanted MORE magazines. It’s like there was a voracious appetite for them. Some of these vendors were asking for HUNDREDS of magazines a month. Crazy money (that’s what was running through my head)! I offered to help.

The secret to getting started with this business is to buy a magazine subscription out of America and have the magazines delivered to an address in the States. Your next piece of the puzzle would be to find a reliable distributor in Africa. This is the tricky part actually, because you can’t trust just anybody. Someone you know–like a friend or relative, would be a much safer way to go. It is good to be cautious.

And in case you have neither of the above (no friends no relatives), consider joining a US-based network marketing company that sells Ebony magazine subscriptions. The advantage with this is you can leverage your way into Africa by recruiting Africans based in Africa, into your MLM business. This will earn you lucrative commissions out of Africa simply because THEY (your downlines) are working the business. Call it your bloodless coup d’etat. If you will.

Is Obama taking over the world? Oh, you bet he is! And with it, thankfully, come the hidden golden nuggets and outrageously profitable business opportunities — much like this one — that anyone serious about earning some extra cash on the side can very well do so working from home. I like to say: follow the plan to work the plan.

Maxim Magazine aimed squarely at young men, is a glossy magazine focused on beautiful women, slick gadgets, fast cars, sports, entertainment and other male obsessions. Maxim is written for young professional men who are confident, intelligent everyday guys. Maxim is a unique combination of service journalism and irreverent humor addressing real concerns of regular guys. Its success comes from understanding that men need to know a little bit about a lot of things and MAXIM delivers this information in a witty & relevant style. Maxim addresses the real life needs of intelligent professional men in an entertaining as well as informative way.

This publication sets out to reach men in their late 20’s rather than out and out lads producing a magazine that readers can grow into rather than out of. Research confirms that the mean average age for this magazine is on target at 28. It serves as both a fun and informative publication delivering a healthy balance of accessible service with a humorous tone. In addition to scantily clad cover models and plenty of revealing photo layouts, issues include reviews of the latest movies in theaters, CD, DVD along with video games and articles on how to successfully seduce women the latest styles and trends and interviews with celebrities. Maxim is the essential guide for active male consumer. Every issue features fashion, sports, gadgets, sports gear, *** advice, music & movie reviews all in an entertaining and irreverent style where humor is a key element. Other regular features include jokes, trivia, a *** column, practical advice, a sports column and more.

Maxim published by Alpha Media Group is the essential guide for active male consumer. With one of the largest male subscriber files Maxim addresses the real life needs of men in an entertaining and engaging style. I also have to admit that it is a pretty interesting magazine to read. It seldom has any long in-depth articles like Playboy, so you can pick it up anywhere and not get too absorbed. Here are some titles just to give you some examples of some of their articles. How to Fight a Duel, complete with history as well as the best ways to incite a challenge out of someone in the modern age, how to sneak into any sporting event, how to spot a ‘fake’ woman in a bar to avoid recreating an embarrassing scene from the “Crying Game”. Another article is How to sound smart about money which gives detailed terms to throw out about stocks, bonds and interest rates to impress the unenlightened.

Like many women magazines some articles are clearly only aimed at one ***. Both how to spot a ************ and how to score at a funeral are clearly only aimed at men but how to ***** with a telemarketer can be considered good advice for either men or women. One article lists the top five countries that have more women than men and possible reasons why. It could be argued that this is not a gender specific article but after reading it it becomes clear that this is telling men where to travel if you want to improve your odds of finding a woman.

Every issue of Maxim includes reviews of the latest movies, music, video games, the latest styles and trends plus interviews with celebrities. Other regular features include the best of sports, gadgets, health and fitness, fashion, *** and humor. Maxim Magazine is similar to Playboy, Penthouse and most other Magazines. I might call this a somewhat more juvenile version of Playboy, but that is not quite the most accurate description.

Subscriber Profile:

· 73%- Age 18-34

· 27- Median age

· $64,428- Median household income

· 61%- Single

· 66%- College graduate

· 39%- Homeowner

It should be noted that the magazine has achieved an amazing level of success in a very short time. It came out in early 1997, and by the end of 1999 it had become the number one general interest magazine for men. They boast that on the newsstand, Maxim outsells Esquire, Rolling Stone, and Sports Illustrated magazines combined. Alpha Media Group, (formerly Dennis Publishing), publishes the two most successful modern lifestyle magazines for men in America - Maxim and Stuff - along with general interest music magazine Blender.

Sports journalism in dedicated sports magazines offers reports on events like competitions and tournaments and related sports news. There are many sports magazines that have been mocked and called “toy magazines” for showing no concern for the ’serious’ topics covered by various news desks. Today, sports coverage has grown in importance, just as the different sports themselves have grown in wealth and influence and a lot of subsequent power and recognition.

Sports journalism in sports magazines is an essential component of the news media organization. Sports journalism in sports magazines includes a sports department that is devoted solely to diligent sports reporting. Some of the world renowned magazines dedicated to sports are Sports Illustrated and Sports Round Up.

The reporters of various sports magazines have a tough time with sports teams from around the world. While some are not always very accommodating with sports journalists, others are known to allow sports reporters into locker rooms for interviews and some extra information. There are also sports teams that provide extensive information support, even if the reporting proves unfavorable to them. There are certain countries where sports coverage is often barely tolerated by the clubs and players.

Sports journalists who work for the various sports magazines are like any other reporters. They too have to find the story rather than simply rely on information that is generated by the sports teams or institution or the dedicated coaching staff. The reporters on sporting events are expected to first and foremeost be conversant with the particular game they are covering and the nuances involved. Sports journalists have to verify facts given to them by the teams and organizations they are covering, before getting the content into the sports magazines.

Often, the coaches of the different games and teams and players and even the sports organization management rescind the access credentials of the reporters covering a particular controversy or sporting event. This is done entirely in retaliation for printing accurate, but disparaging information about a team, player, coach or the organization in question.

Today, sports reporters cover extensively sports journalism for professional and intercollegiate sports such as American football, ice hockey, basketball, baseball and football. The sports magazines are segregated to either cater to the target ‘reader’ group for a particular sport or into sections within that cover different sports and offer better coverage to the sports enthusiasts. The sports magazines are headed by a team of professionals either from the games themselves or avid enthusiasts from around the world, who have followed the games religiously.

Sports magazines all over the world have now become a part of the integrated world online. The online sports magazines are increasing in popularity due to the private and comfortable access to live news and reviews possible because of the interent technology. There are many sports magazines that cater to both, the online and virtual segments successfully.

I am a longtime subscriber to AutoWeek, Racer, SportsCar, and Grassroots Motorsports magazines. I’ve been keeping a collection of them in the hopes that I can donate them for our troops in Iraq/Afghanistan to read. Anyone know how/where I can do this?
Sure they have access but not to an entire magazine’s content unless they subscribe. In addition to that, their time on the Internet is limited.

Thanks for nothing!
