my million dollar idea! questions.

[Happiness]

Hello to everyone,

I finally have my million dollar idea.

Robert Kyosaki once said: it's better to have a best selling book than a best writting book.

On that note, here is my idea:

I am an event coordinator. I have started working in this business this year. I have been mostly working with Brides. I want to create a magazine for Brides. And, I have no clue where/how to start. It is an innovative idea, very different from the regular Birdes magazines. I have contacted certain venues & contractors. I have a contact list for all of the wedding coordinators...but I need to find a graphic designer, photographs, model( for fotoshoot)...and what not. And of course, I have a very small budget.

So, if you have any advice that you can give to me, it would be greatly appreciated!

PS: I have to come out with the magazine by next spring!

The magazine market is already heavily saturated and there are quite a few bridal magazines out there. You may not be able to go far with a small budget if you want to do it yourself. The industry is an expensive and risky one. Your best bet would be to approach publishers with your concept.

Good luck!

Thank you for this advice. I will see to it. However, my concept is really different from what there is out there. Noone came out with it yet. I have been researching it for a while now. So, hopefully, it will go through.

Thanks again.


Happiness.

OMG! Thank you so much! I spent hours on the net to look for a website that had this information. I only found advice from the general public and a few programs that I need to purchase. Some programs I already have. But the core information, I did not get.

Thank you very much!

I will keep you posted! I know that I will succeed. it's my way out!

It might be helpful to make an project outline and then a business plan. That will help you focus and keep your mind on what needs to be done. A sample project outline for a bridal magazine might look like:

I. Funding
A. Advertising
B. Subscriptions
II. Content
A. Events
B. Photography
C. Dresses
III. Distribution
A. Bookstores
B. Online

That's a very simplified model, but if you add more headings and subheadings, you'll have a good plan.

I will copy/paste this advice. It is very good. I actually enrolled into a business start-up class, I will definitely create the business plan for this project. I am also going to apply at a magazine. I will see how that goes.
Thank you again.

I've heard of websites or e-zines going to full print at later times. Maybe that is something you could contemplate the budgets for. I'm just "assuming" and I could be wrong but would an e-zine be lower budget??
