I signed up months ago, finally got my first issue this week, with a Christmas card and self-addressed envelope from the carrier looking for a tip. That was Saturday, and nothing since! Either I got someone else's by mistake, or my carrier is pretty ballsy to only deliver one issue and then hold off until she gets a tip! WSJ doesn't show an account at my address, so who knows!

At first, I thought it must have been a mistake, but I figured out one reason: if I have two copies, I'll keep one for me and give away the 2nd, hoping It'll lure them into a subscription. I greet my USPS carrier at the end of the driveway for quick access to the mail. He asked me about 2 weeks ago if I was just a hobbyist and seeing how many magazines I could subscribe to and and how many are cover-to-cover. I explained I'm quite serious about the magazines I solicit and those are the ones I read cover-to-cover. (Those are either committed to memory or I can tell you which magazine something is from, the time frame within a couple of issues, and about where it was in the right issue. That's about 40. (I have another 20-25 I'm putting on my list of magazines I've read via retail and chosen not to pay the "publisher's discounted subscription" you see in insert cards of magazines on the newsstand. ) Almost all of the others are "volunteers" which have a simple message in my inbox, "for your consideration, a subscription to ..." (Opera News, Surf, Surfing, Surfer, Practical Horseman, etc.) Those, I don't put on a high priority list, but those are quite a bit more reliable & consistent (as to when they show up). Back before the web was very well known to people online - I've got 25 years of Internet experience, so I got to watch the development of the Web - back when as a friend of mine says, "the world's biggest/largest secret club" - the only way you knew about the Internet is if you were on it. I would write white papers on new things I perceived to be hot tech topics (across the board) in the next 12-16 months, and update previous works if I believed they'd be delayed or pulled up for some reason. I had enough of a budget to cover 125 magazines & 6+ newspapers/day. I saw a stat (sorry, I can't provide a cite) which says 180 magazines start up each year (many are not all are online) and 60, new or old, go under. |
