Free Magazine!
As a relative novice to the internet, blogging and internet marketing, it has been an interesting exploration for me into all the various services available for a beginning web designer! Things that say they’re free really aren’t in many cases. Then, something of quality that you would think you would have to pay for turns out to be totally free - very cool!
Website Magazine is a very professional monthly publication that you can get either digitally or hard copy. I read through it and it has a good balance of articles for beginners as well as more advanced designers. I subscribed and recommend you do also. Make sure you sign up for the print copy as well as the online copy - BOTH FREE! Click the icon on the top of the sidebar for your free (really!) subscription. And, they even plant a tree for each subscriber! I like what that says about their organization.
Here’s an excerpt about the November 2008 issue from the Editor-in-Chief, Peter Prestipino:
“Website Magazine has had one singular focus since its inception — to provide our readers with guidance that will shorten their road to Web success. We pride ourselves in not jumping on every bandwagon beta, not pursuing those without a genuine value proposition, and never covering rumors. The content in this edition - our third anniversary issue — again reflects that mission. Our feature article “FRESH Perspectives” gives subscribers (and those that happen to have it land on their desk or have it given to them by a friend or colleague) an opportunity to silence the noise by providing an outline of what is necessary to achieve success in Web marketing and specifically SEO. In addition to the feature article, we also have an amazing lineup of articles covering topics such as pay-per-click advertising, social computing, e-commerce, video, affiliate marketing, domains and as always, much, much more in the print edition you are reading now and within the digital edition available at WebsiteMagazine.com.”
