The publishing business has attracted lovers of the printed word for a long time, and not only because it can bring in a good income. Publishing is an opportunity to convey your own point of view to the whole world, influence the worldview of thousands of people and leave your mark on history. The latter is especially relevant when publishing a journal about science.
It is necessary
- - entity;
- - at least 4000 rubles of initial capital;
- - passport.
Instructions
Step 1
To start publishing a journal about science, it is necessary to register this journal as an official print publication. The fact is that without proper registration, the magazine can be published with a circulation of no more than 999 copies. For a full-color multi-page edition at the prices of modern printing houses, such runs will be too expensive, which can lead to an early bankruptcy. To register a publication, you must contact the nearest department of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, fill out the necessary applications, presenting your passport, and wait for registration. It should be remembered that the state fee for registering a magazine that is planned to be distributed in Russia is 4,000 rubles today, and registration is carried out only for legal entities - LLC or individual entrepreneur.
Step 2
Once the publication is registered, it is necessary to start building a team of regular contributors. At present, and with the widespread prevalence of the Internet, it is no longer possible to collect a single edition under one roof, but the authors must be in constant contact with the head of the publication - editor or founder. Forward-thinking publishers also draw up business plans at this stage, in order to have an accurate idea of the size of fees, room rates and projected profits.
Step 3
If the release of a journal about science is not so much a goal as a means, then in parallel with the search for employees for the editorial office, it is necessary to attend to the selection of personnel for the sales department - they will fill the free pages of the magazine with advertising. The main thing here is to select advertising that would fit the general theme of the publication and would not run counter to corporate policy. For example, it would be foolish to advertise cigarettes in a health magazine.
Step 4
If a new journal about science claims to be a world name, then it would not be superfluous to acquire its own website, which would not only upload editorial materials, but also post translations of articles into other languages. In addition, the site can be used as a primary platform for running staff and understanding their own format. By the way, many modern publications start with websites, gradually moving to parallel publishing of printed materials, where advertising is more expensive.
Step 5
Finally, it is worth remembering the main rule of the publisher: no copy-paste. The magazine, engaged in reprinting already published materials, is doomed to failure and imminent bankruptcy. And if you have fresh and original ideas, you can prove your worth with four thousand, find investors and become famous all over the world.
