HA!!! Maybe if my mom buys up a ton of 'em. I'm expecting to sell about 5 of the first issue, and to give away about 50 of them, and then the rest to gather dust.
You gotta start somewhere, my friend. If you're feeling
a bit short of USPs (unique selling points), one
marketing idea might be to do a deal with a rock
zine - for example, Shari's Black Velvet - which
does sell, and send her 100 or so to give away free
with the next issue.

Carl, I want one. Is there a way for me to pay by paypal or anything like that?
Exchanging to get $3 and sending them to you will cost me a fortune
C'MON Carl, let us know!!
It will be going to the print shop on Friday, I think I have it all figured out. It will be available to anybody who wants it. The cost for issue 1 will be $3.00 anywhere in the world. I am going to lose money on the first issue no matter how much I charge for shipping, so I figure issue 1 will have just one price on it, and I will figure it out from there.
I will be accepting PayPal, but whoever wants to try it first will be the experimental rat. Just let me know you intend to try, and we will see what happens.

Don't place orders though until I have the issues back from the printer. Until I know how to do this for sure, I don't want to really do the "pre-order" thing. I will do that for issue 2 on up.
I'll post more here and on my My Space blog as this progresses.
Thanks for the continued interest!
Carl, if you email me the two photos and Baby
Scream's logo on your SR cover, I'll mock up, when
I get time, a fancy version of your front cover.
It might give you ideas for issue no.2

The Baby Scream logo was just a standard font that was real close to their logo. I can send you the pictures though. I might be a little afraid to see how much better a "pro" could do though. I do have bunches of ideas though, but yeah, if you want I could send something along.
What's the font? Where's the pics?
