It would be nice to get more issues of the magazine into print.
So I wondered what people thought would be the best way to do that (other than out of my own pocket as the three currently printed issues have been).
Paetron? Kickstarter?
Your thoughts please.

Indiegogo is good too , for what i know kickstarter can be only To US and UK, so if you live outside this countries you cannot fundraise there, on the other hand indiegogo is more permissive on that and has the option to keep what you have raised even if you wont reach the $500 minimum goal, and can be associated with paypal

It works here in NZ and as I've in previous years contributed to UK & US Kickstarters you don't need to have Kickstarter in your country to be able to pony up some money.

did not know that, another tip doesn´t paypal have a option to buy for a fixed amount? i know it has the donations but i am not really sure about the buy option, but maybe i will snoop around the net and check this, then i will tell here (that way you should pay less on fees that indiegogo and kickstarter charges)

Thanks for looking anyway.
Another question, if I used Kickstarter/Indiegogo, what sort of "rewards" should be offered?

In my opinion there should be some common ground with other successful projects, so one reward should be the magazine and at least another with magazine + pdf , also who are willing to fundraise the project , must see some benefit of it , so they should be the 1st receiving the pdf , before putting on the site for a download.

What would be the price of the magazine btw? Will you ship back issues too?

The minimum price would be NZ$14 per issue (not including P&P) which is the lowest I can get the magazine done for! This is the price of the issues currently available on the store (#10-12). The biggest problem is P&P. To post to the UK, for example, it costs more in postage than it does for the magazine. Which puts a lot of people off buying.

*cough* you could team up with a UK distributor that is interested in helping your project and is planning their own kickstarter for their project anyway. If you want to research UK printing I would be happy to act as a distribution point. Would make posting to pretty much all of Europe viable. Just saying.

Have you considered print-on-demand via a service like CreateSpace? You could offer the back issues through Amazon without needing to keep an inventory.

CreateSpace, like most other print-on-demand services, don't allow for printing on the inside of the cover. The only service that does, is MagCloud. I looked at them, but a single issue would cost US$20 with postage on top of that. Printing locally I was able to print for only NZ$14.
