<Reply # 41 on 9/21/2011 5:07 AM >
|  | | | Glad to see that everyone's posting what they think and feel about uemag.com.--thanks for being honest. Let's talk openly about this subject here, if you're all willing, and I'll try to address each question/concern to the best of my ability.
There are so many replys here, that it could be an entire second full-time job just answering all of them (lol), but I'll try. A lot of people here are quick to assess and critize UE Mag without really understanding much about the site or the print magazine. Some have not even gone to the site to take a look around before leaping to false conclusions as to what our goals are, or how and why we are making the magazine in the first place. To those quick-to-condemn/slow-to-fact-check, I encurage you to do a bit more research into our site and magazine.
To expedite this, I am going to clear up some info here that others have posted which is either completely untrue, or, at least misconstrewed...
TO Steed:
I'm sorry you feel so negitivly about UE Mag.-- I feel that you are mistaken about many of your points of contention. The site uemag.com is not out to replace other explorers' websites in any way. It is an urbex social network, an open format for members wishing to submit some of their photos (w/ or w/out description) for publication. Of their own vollition they may even choose to submit stories to go along with their images. We DO NOT solicit, steal, coerce, or force anyone to submit contecnt. Not only would that be illegal, it is unnecessary--lots of people aspire to seeing their stuff in explorer-circulated magazines.
Even when free or Pro members submit content, we get writen consent from the member before publishing to our website or magazine. We are NOT swindling explorers photos or "hard work". We are giving them their own gallery showing. We aim to help our members share whatever they want to share with other explorers.
My personal investment should not be open for discussion. What I do with my own hard-earned money is private, and irrelevant to any of the matters open to discussion here. I do thank you for your concern with my investments, but please, let's leave my personal finances out of this.
I'm sorry you feel that my hard work will not yield anything in return for either you or other explorers. That's your opinion, and I respect your right to it, but I personally think diffrently about it. And, anyhow, time will tell.
I'm glad that somewhere in your thoughts on the whole, you entertain that this could work, and I value your honest input.
TO Modbox
At first I set the PRO membership up as costing $24.99 for a one year membership. I admit that I over-estimated what I thought would be a resonable price. $24.99 breakes down to around $2.00 a month. Based on the general feedback, I have lowered the price to $12.00 for the one year plan. During the reassesment period there were several individuals who purchased Pro memberships at the initial $24.99 price. I refunded 100% of the money to the supporting members and informed them that this was due to the lowering of our price. We didn't want them to pay more than everyone else would, and they where happy with their refunds and our disclosure. In fact, all of them purchased a new Pro one year membership (at the thrifty, new, low, $1.00-a-month-which-equals-a-total price of $12.00).
Moving on: I completely understand everyone's complaints about my spelling.
I will try harder to have proper gramer, and to take the time to use Spell Check. It's important to reiterate that I am not a writer for this magazine as much as I am on its' team. There is the same implicit effort that all content will be checked and proofed before making it to print, as is expected for any magazine. This is not to make excuses, but I do want to point out that trying to build/run this website, make the magazine, market the magazine, help UE Mag members on the uemag.com, answer as many post on other forums as possible, as well as have any hope of a personal life, and still go exploring has been pretty daunting. That is a lot for one guy to do. I am trying my hardest.
If even petty loose ends so displeases others, then I will try harder, in hope of getting this right in the near future.
TO u-235
Thank you for all of your advice. A lot of this is completely new to me. I certainly value all of the direction I can get, most especialy from someone with website experience, such as yourself.
Let me make one thing clear that you may have misinterpreted. I have never stated that I paid $1000 for a shared server. What I did claim was that I paid $1000 for use of a semi-dedicated server for one year. This was a big mistake on my part. I was relying on the purveyor for my host advice. Also, I had estimated a high traffic-count from the start. With no real urbex magazine off of which to base any stats, it was easy to be mistaken. I did do research into the potential population of circulating enthusiasts, but I was way off. Among those interested people, I never thought i would get so much negitive feedback on trying to print an exploring magazine. NinjaDelicious (one of the founding fathers) had a mag run for quite awhile before he passed away. RIP. His was really the only model that I had, that could serve as a reference, and that mag stopped printing in 2005.
Let this be made very clear: I have now switched to a shared server, and no longer bear a $1000 yearly bill. I DO NOT WANT ANY MONEY from my members so that i can pay my bills. That was never my intention to convey- I just wanted to present a context. I will mention that, as of this update, I have managed to cut a lot of my budget. Naturally, I am not going to openly share my entire busines plan, as I feel that is inapropriate. Trade secrets. Also, I will share the circumstances prompting uemag to have both a $12 PRO account, as well as a FREE account.
For contrast, UER (an amazing site) has a monthly donation drive of $100, from what I understand. That's $1200 a year, and I'm pretty sure that money goes into covering the server fees. I think (correct me if I am wrong) that UER members who choose to donate unlock some site features which are only available for donaters...? Were this to be accurate,then the Pro memberships at uemag.com would serve in the same way. I have a lot more planned for the site, both in general, and for members-only. This is still a work in progress. More features will cost a bit of money here and there, but everyone will benefit.
It remains an inaliable fact that making a magazine costs money. I wish I could make the mag for free, but I truly do not see a way in which that is possible. Not without me sinking all I have into it until there isn't any more, at which point the magazine would run itself-and me- into the ground. What I'm saying is, the notion that I am linning my pockets with money bled from this huge chance I'm taking is just plain NOT TRUE.
(THIS IS A QUOTE BY u-235: "The problem with something like this idea is your business model is based around user-generated content. Most sites that use this model earn their revenue through targeted advertising.")
You are 100% right in your above quote, but you are forgetting one key thing. Advertisers like sites/magazines with a steady flow of traffic and subscribers. With UE Mag being so new, we do not yet have the the traffic and subscription rates which would attract a compatible advertiser. However, once we have a strong user base, we may be able to make the site 100% free as far as memberships go, and rely on advertising revenue to cover production/publication fees. We just need a crutch, or jump start-if you will- to get thing moving.
WE DO HAVE A FREE MEMBERSHIP. just wanted to state that so as to make it very clear. The entirity of our content is not from our members.
Next: setting up a CMS is not super easy. Sure, maybe for a pro web desiger it's not too formidable, but I'm not a pro web designer. I'm an explorer-photographer who wants to print a magazine about my life's passion. I was (and still am) 100% aware of the risk of potential loss that is involed in seeking to make a UE-based magazine. (Trust me--lol) But I still feel strongly that this is something I can and will make work. Please understand that no busines plan is foolproof--they all involve risk. Some moreso than others, I know, yet I continue to feel this risk to be worth taking. I believe in an URBEX community that prints its' member's content within a professional magazine. I am attempting a magazine that documents urbex in the here and now(in a physical printed publication), so that when we are all dead and gone, other explorers can pick up an old issue--maybe on ebay, or perhaps in bulk on yahoo--and be holding a piece of history in their hand. I feel that once the point comes when we are gone, a lot of thses website will die out, too. (I hope not, but it is, most likely, part of the inevitble...everything dies) Printed magazines are collected, shaved, passed down, and cherished. Printing itself is a major part of photography that a lot of people nowdays just don't do.
I enjoy seeing my work printed, and I really enjoy when it's printed in a publication where others with the same interests as mine can view it.
I never intented to play the sympathy card at all. I am an open person, and I want people to understand who I am and why I am doing this magazine. Unfortunately for me, my backstory is marked with several major head traumas. They effectively changed how I live my life. The reasons I had for starting to shoot and explore are directly tied into my traumas. What do I do when people ask about me, or when I try to describe how I got involed in UE? I openly express how I am feeling, and that kind of dialog is why I am here writing this reply. I don't want to come across as being too corprate or too stiff. I want to convey my accessibility to members and other explorers, that they can contact me, or chat with me, and hopefully we'll all be able to find new friendships. I know busines is busines, but this is urbex- not Walmart.
u-235 I cannot thank you enough for your time and your advice. You seem like an honest person, and you know what you are talking about, a few misconceptions notwithstanding. It's people like you that help make this magazine live. If you're interested in helping out, please contact me in the P.M. Thanks for your direct and relevant input.
Cheers!

I wish you would have had the consideration to spend time better understanding before making accusations, but I did act out of line with my replys, and for that I am sorry. I wish you well as a fellow explorer.
TO 5alive
"I never bother with any niche that doesn't provide benefits to the customer in one of the following categories
Money - Sex - Health"
that quote had me laughing hard. Thanks! I needed a joke to lighten this thread up. A lot of your advice is dead on, man, and I am working hard to make this work. All I can say is live and learn-and I am learning a lot. I'm just one human, not a mega-corprate, lushly-staffed company. Things are starting to shape up, thanks in part to all of the feedback I have gotten from explorers like yourself. Thank you.
Thank you all for your input/advice. I will try to make more replies to everyone I missed as soon as possible. There's so much more I want to share with you all, and I will in good time. In closing this out for me tonight, I would like to say the following:
You can bash me as a person, you can nitpick my flaws,and you can dislike my concept for a ue magazine, but I am comitted to this endever. I will try harder to make a publication that mostly everyone will be proud of. Your positive feedback and support is awesome! Thank you. Explore well.

I wasn't concerned what it'll yield to us, but more concerned with your attitude that you put this much effort in, and it won't pay off financially.
My own magazine that I publish, I break even. And copies are free. My website has unlimited space and bandwidth, and hosting is free thanks to a friend who considers himself a patron of my arts. I don't mind spending money on my hobbies, but I pride myself on doing it frugally.

I am a huge supporter of the small press. I know how much effort goes into making the cheapest, lowest quality photocopied newsletter. It's a frustrating business, and you'll find you can't count on anybody but yourself and your own talents.
On that note, thank you for cleaning up your grammar. As I wrote elsewhere, it is a huge reflection on your competence, especially when you're publishing something.

I tell you what, if your looking for advertisers I will give it a shot. I have some ideas that could potentially produce. PM me and let me know what if anything you have in mind for advertisers.
The first thing I have in mind would be to run an add for an information product that tells people how to do freelance stock photography for money. Thinking that a lot of your audience will have the equipment and ability to take good photo's, and everyone is looking for extra cash... Notice the cash benefit on this product offering ;)

Moving on: I completely understand everyone's complaints about my spelling.
I will try harder to have proper gramer, and to take the time to use Spell Check. |
Ignoring the spell check on this, of all posts, raised red flags for me.
Throwing the post into Google Docs quickly flagged 36 incorrectly spelled words. UER's post spellcheck feature caught 34 of the 36 (it missed "critize" and "intented"). Granted you're a noob...but getting Ninj's handle wrong was not a good political move.
I get it. It was late, you're understandably feeling pretty angsty, the "take a deep breath and send it before you second guess yourself again" thing kicks in. I sympathize...but it does make it harder for an audience to buy in. You're going to have to address that if you want to establish trust and credibility.

|  | | | I'd like to mention something else on a positive/constructive note (after referencing it in the comic )
From your posts, it sounds like you're trying to attract a wide range of explorers, but the UEMag site is very much geared to a small subset: the artsy photographers.
Photography is a part of UE, but it's not the only part. The photographers are often more vocal online and post more, which might mask the fact that they're a relatively small group. Out of say, 100 explorers that I know in the Twin Cities, maybe 50 of them own a tripod, and maybe 25 of those use it regularly. I can think offhand of only 5 or 6 of those explorers who are dedicated photographers and regularly take the time to do artsy photos. That's 6%. The other 94% are out shooting flash point-n-shoot, or disposables, or garage sale digital cameras, if they're shooting photos at all. Maybe they'll take a tripod on a return trip, but they're not spending every waking moment searching out lonely chairs and peeling paint with custom filters and $1000 lenses.
Using myself as an example, I do own a tripod, and a fairly nice camera, but I hardly ever take that stuff exploring. I'm too busy actually *exploring*, finding new things... I don't have time to stop and compose a shot. Now and then I'll get a really good (to my mind) picture by accident with my $20 Canon Powershit, but I don't consider myself a photographer (I did install CHDK, but that just means I'm a nerd). I also spend 90% of my time underground, and I notice there's little to no underground on UEmag.
In fact, when I first saw UEmag, before I'd seen this thread or read anything about it, I thought about submitting a photo to the contest. Occasionally there's informal UE photo contests, and I've actually won a category on one of them once. I thought to myself "oh, another one, lets try it". Then when I got into the guts of the submission form (which I've helpfully parodied in my comic), I decided it was too high-class and hipster for me... I can't even remember what camera I shot a photo on without looking at the EXIF, so I figured that "sand-filled stock zoom lens on dented $20 craigslist camera" wouldn't fit in, and my tunnel photos wouldn't fit with the mostly-building photos you had, so I promptly forgot about the site until I saw the UER thread.
So anyway, that long-winded example is trying to say there's room for improvement in attracting explorers other than the 6-10% of dedicated building-photo people.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

Awesome! Thank you, I will be in contact soon.

I think you can see an improvement on my post / spelling. I'm not 100% perfect and this is a forum, (forums are made for fast easy communication) Not the magazine. I do understand my flaws reflect UE MAG, but I am trying hard to be more professional. I meant no disrespect to Ninjalicious at all and I am sorry for miss spelling his name.
TO Freak
Thank you for your positive/constructive criticism. UE MAG is seeking to cover Urbex and all the different people that partake in exploring. The one thing you need to keep in mind is- UE Mag's content is mostly created by our free and pro members. If you feel that your views are not part of the site, please submit some of your own content. The members make the content, therefore if something is not covered well, it is because members are not posting it.
If you read the one of the interviews that is posted to the home page, I think you will see an explorer first and a photographer second article. That content exists because I approached Captain Jack about an interview, as I felt the same way your are thinking. I made an effort to cover / produce content that is more to the point and shoot explorers, with hope of showing UE MAG wants to cover every type of explorer. But once again I need to point out the members make the content. Please help out by posting your experiences to share with everyone.
Also when you say "underground" are you talking about tunnels or are you referring to "not typical" explorers? If you are referring to "Tunnels" We do have an article category set to cover underground explorers, But no ones has submitted any content for it yet.
I can assure you that the website and magazine will cover all the different types of explorers; even if I have to seek out to create solid content in every category / style of exploring and explorers. Thank you for some real input and I hope you will submit some content soon.
TO micro
That's an interesting point. One that I have given a lot of thought to. I feel there is a fine line between covering solid explorers -- producing a solid UE based magazine and selling out. It is hard to stay true to exploring and the explorers, and not bring to much heat into the movement at the same time. I think the magazine will have non-explorer type subscribers and thier support will be awesome. But over all, it remains a magazine by explorers for explorers first. By having the people that partake in an Urbex life style submit almost all the content, the mag will reflect the movement well. We did set up a Facebook page and I think this will help bring in some outside readers. But I am focused on making a good publication for explorers first. Thanks for thinking and suggesting solid on point feedback. You are correct with your statement.

<Reply # 52 on 9/21/2011 6:24 PM >
| | | | Can I be the one to bring up the fact that you are trying to start a magazine in a niche market while the print industy is dying. I'll be honest with you I haven't given your site a thorough look but from what I can tell you are trying to combine flickr and FB together with a UE theme. Except your site isn't as good as FB or Flickr. Again thats just a guess especially with FB being FB it might be better. Now before you get mad for me making blind guesses about your site my basis for it is that I find it hard to believe that you on your own made a better flickr and a better FB on your own. Since noone needs another social networking site or image hosting site let's just through those features out the window.
This brings us to the only useful aspect of your site (again this Ia just from what I've read here from you) which is compiling UE photos and articles into a magazine. Or to simplify it's essentially compiling the best from UER and other similair sites and personal blogs into a magazine. So from what I gather an article in your magazine is just a forum on uer without the feed back an the negative comments won't get back to you as quickly.
So in summery since from what I see is you want us to pay for a service we already have and for you to compile the best UE work in one place and then print it. I know there is a free service but I just don't see what it offers that we don't already have. To be quite honest I predict your site folding before the end of the year.

Original poster states that due to being a victim of violence he has Post Concussion Syndrome. Some people suffering PCS have displayed difficulty in spelling words.
While there is a spell check built into UER, I think maybe we should cut the guy a little slack here.
TL/DR: Educate yourselves on PCS and the symptoms before casting stones.

| | | | Thanks for the reply, and I am glad you are taking the time to address the various suggestions/criticisms that are being presented to you here. The fact that you have taken the time to respond to even some of the more negative posts shows some class, which is definitely a good quality when representing a business in a public forum.
Regarding advertising: I understand why you might think people do not want to advertise on an up-and-coming site. In the early stages of an idea such as this, you're not going to be able to get impression-based advertising revenue (I believe this is becoming a thing of the past, anyway). What you can do, is contact companies that have products that explorers want/need, and work out a commission-based affiliate program where you can make some revenue on sales. Think about approaching companies that are selling things like:
- Flashlights
- UE-related Apparel (Boots, Gloves, Clothing, etc.)
- Camera Equipment
- Gadgets (Two-way Radios, GPSs, Laser Tape, etc.)
This is basically what "targeted advertising" means. Identify your audience, and give them ads based on their interests. Inquire with businesses and ask if they have an affiliate program that you can sign up for, and find out their rates/policies. It can't hurt, and having ads that are applicable to your user-base will be less obtrusive when placed into the layout.
I noticed you mentioned you'd like to print this magazine. I personally believe this portion of the business plan is going to be the biggest hurdle. As someone else mentioned here, the logistics of printing/distributing a print publication is no easy task. Coupled with the fact that content can be viewed online, it makes your print magazine less exclusive and appealing, especially considering there would be a cost associated with receiving a monthly, or even quarterly magazine. I, too, wanted to make a magazine about 5 years ago, and believe me when I say, just putting the design together is no easy task. You're going to need a team of InDesign/Quark/Photoshop/Illustrator professionals that understand layout, typography, design aesthetics, and have a great work ethic in order to really make this idea soar. It's a LOT of work, and with a skeleton crew, you will likely fall under the massive weight of such an undertaking.
Most popular magazines can actually be distributed throughout the US/Canada completely free to the consumer based on the revenue they receive from full-page advertising. Of course companies like Conde Nast, Time Warner, Ziff Davis, etc. have such strong readerships that they're able to command extremely high price-per-page advertising. Any yearly subscription fee is just icing on the cake for magazine companies like these. Your magazine will have a high cost associated with printing as you will not be able to command such a high price for advertising, and due to the way printers work, you'll need to create bulk orders regardless of whether or not you can sell all of the printed copies.
Just one last thing in response to my claim of you pulling the sympathy card: I just want to say that I wasn't insinuating that you were in fact consciously using your injury to try and take advantage of people. What I was referring to was the fact that everyone thinks differently, and you cannot possibly account for everyone's perception or interpretation of your words. If you can remain totally neutral in regards to emotion and your personal life, it will help you maintain a cleaner and more professional image. If you're having a casual conversation and it comes up naturally, that's no big deal... but if you post it on a public forum for all to see, there's bound to be a few people who are put off by it and will inevitably call you out. Running a business has its fair share of politics, and you need to be very conscious of what you say and how people might misconstrue your intentions.
Anyway... good luck. I hope this post has been helpful. Don't be discouraged, just keep following your dream and eventually, with enough blood, sweat and tears, it shall eventually come to fruition.

Drastic change noted, appreciated, and respected. Thanks.
In light of Intrinsic's pointer, I'd like to go on record that it was not my intent to criticize a disability. If that's how it felt to you, then I sincerely apologize. Everybody has weaknesses, myself included, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's a non-issue. What's important to me is, if an area of concern is indicated, and there is a compensatory tool available, does the individual care enough to use it. Hope that makes sense.

You need to use quotes or people aren't going to know who your referring too.

| | | | So, I just wanted to drop in and get everyone here at UER up to speed on what's going on over at http://uemag.com. The site was reworked and updated to fix some known bugs we were facing. Site purrs like a kitten now. I just set up a News letter subscriptions so everyone can stay up to date on everything UE Mag related. We have members from 23 countries from around the world and are growing steadily every week. Members are submitting articles and images daily and we have several groups started. NEX New England Xplorers group. Maryland Explorers group ect... We have hosted our first photo contest, winners are up for print consideration and we still have our Issue ones Cover contest going on.
The First issue magazine is coming together real well. We have interviews with, Andre Govia, Midnight Digital, AbandonedFL, Flubex Crew, UE Kingz and more to come. There will be a large amount of our free and pro members images published in the first issue as well.
I would like to thank Neptune and Ademan for all their moderation support. I would also like to thank everyone for joining up and helping make this magazine come to life. lots more to come. Register up today and submit your explores for print consideration or just socialize with other members.
Thanks for your support!
Cheers!
