Robert Calise and John Botte are my two, go-to web guys, both are on the network. Just let them know I sent you and they'll be more than happy to help you out.

Advertising has supported magazines/websites for some time now; it's definitely as business model we are always considering for Under30. We're really trying to find an alternative business model, with advertising being more supplemental than anything. We really want to have a solid core product/service to sell, with advertising always being a nice way to make some cash.

I'm still interested in the idea about selling your subscriptions to schools; proper diet and nutrition are such a huge concern at colleges these days, I think they'd pay or at least allow you to distribute your magazine on their campus for free. It'd be a huge way to expand your readership, ultimately increasing the price you can charge for advertising.

Where's the mag going to be available?

Do you have any plans to try and sell subscriptions to schools? I see it's free for individuals to buy. I'd be interested to know more about your strategy, as I have a lot of similar ideas.
