If this is an educational thread, perhaps you could share your thoughts on where I and other magazine shooters are leaving money on the table in 2011.
In 2011 there's little money left on the table. I wrote something here you might find interesting. http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=18...&postcount=101

If you've been published regularly then you're one of the good and bright ones. Far too many were blinkered to only the online market. And it cost them money in the end.

I will write something on marketing, however it will be more about creating something very unique in a mainstream niche so it's not just another little fish in a very crowded pond full of little fish.

Online is all that's left today and for that it has to be different, better and wanted by buyers. Throwing traffic at it no longer works. The cost of traffic has sent many to the wall. And many more going there soon.
