Do You Read Magazines?
You visited a few times and I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?

… because you should.
A year ago I subscribed for EuroTuner (U.S. Magazine talking about European Car Scene; Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche…)
This 100 page illustrated magazine has been around for 10 years now. I subscribed because I am a Volkswagen freak and I want to keep up with the newest products in the industry, events, projects and so on… It’s a passion of mine, and for only 25$ a year I get 12 issues! (12$ if you live in the USA).
Well, slowly but surely this hobby has shifted into a money maker. Every months I see the hottest Wheels, Car parts, Turbo kits and so on - so I made a website that “sells” all that (as an affiliate). I contacted some of the most popular websites that sell these parts - and a few of them were happy to set up an affiliate program which they didn’t have before.
Besides knowing what parts are hot - I know of all the upcoming events and gatherings for European car enthusiasts. WATERFEST, one of the events, attracts over 20,000 cars every year! So I add a page to my site, about Waterfest! On this page I tell people how badly they need to show off their new set of wheels at the event, and guess what? They can purchase the wheels at only $2000 by simply clicking on that special link!
I guess you get my point. This could be applied to almost every niche out there! For $25/year I get at least 5-10 great ideas EVERY SINGLE MONTH! And I make sure to monetize on it!
Now, go out, buy a magazine on a subject you enjoy and think of could could you possibly monetize on it!

Alex, you are absolutely right, any Internet marketer out there can get some great ideas by reading some magazines. But you can also get them too by watching the news, especially CNN.
