I just wanted to share some exciting news. Our Magazine Publishing Group in LinkedIn has just passed 500 members and is continuing to grow strong.
A group that was originally started as a way to help communicate magazine publishing related issues in July, has quickly grown connecting more and more people within the industry and is becoming a valuable group in LinkedIn, when it comes to Publishing Magazines.
With our Group, the aim is to connect as much of the Magazine publishing related professionals worldwide, to help communicate, to ask questions, to share experiences and to help each other.
Based on the discussions and some direct feedback that I’m getting from our members, the Group is serving its purpose well and there have been several great connections established through our Group already.
Looking forward of reaching our next milestones with you.
Start Slide Show with PicLens LiteI have been looking for good online discussion forum that is centered around magazine publishing. I have been Googling, sending questions to LinkedIn answers and generally just been asking around. I have yet to find the kind of forum what I’m looking for.
Next, I reached out to our Magazine Publishing Group members in LinkedIn, asking if they would use this type of forum if that would be available and to me the response was pretty clear. From those that replied, all were indicating that they would. While I understand that the response numbers were not high, I think it still gives a good indication of interest toward this forum (knowing that this group is still very new but growing fast).
These two issues combined have convinced me to set up an Magazine Publishing Forum that is open to all professionals worldwide, related to Magazine Publishing. So yesterday I was spending my time looking and learning about what forum software to use and today I have spend many hours setting up the forum.
As soon as I have the forum set up and ready for members, I will post it here and send message to all of our Magazine Publishing Group Members.
It should not take too long anymore.
Start Slide Show with PicLens LiteI have created a Magazine Publishing Group in linkedIn. It’s a free LinkedIn group to network with peers.
This group is for all Magazine Publishing Professionals Worldwide. For publishers, editors, photographers, journalist, printers, designers, advertisers, distributors etc.
