New magazine, or e-zine

[Jens]

Was just thinking about how cool it would be to have a magazine devoted to owner-builders, cabins/cottages/homesteads built by them.  Kind of a Fine Homebuilding meets MotherEarth News.  The only problem is, have no idea about how to do it!  Anybody got info, suggestions, or tips?  I was thinking that there could be featured houses, completed and under construction, with profiles of their builder/owners, tech articles focusing on related procedures, editorials, and product features.

That is is a good idea. My newspaper ran a artical on that.
Told how to do it and were to go to get started. Wish I could remember.
Goodluck

For e-zine, start a small website such as CP, get a membership base, start with a newsletter and let it grow from there, perhaps membership to a pay portion of the site entitles you to a subscription.  Something like this: http://www.backwoodshome.com/ what you have in mind? (obviously different topic, but the concept)

Rodale actually HAD a magazine devoted to the do it youself homeowner with a pretty distinct conservation bent.  It was definitely a cross betwee Mother Earth News and Fine Homebuilding.

Here's one that's been around for a year or so.  Sometime extremely interesting.  But there would be lots of room for a handful of these with different slants.
