“I run a small webmagazine that covers a portion of the gay community in the Great Lakes area.

“What are some good ways to publicize a publication that doesn’t have a print edition? I have a pretty decent readership–about 2,000 hits a month. But I would like to expand the readership so I can sell more ads, encourage groups to send me press releases, approach print publications and increase sales from the web storefront I have in conjunction with the magazine. I have good coverage and I\u2019m already considered one of the best resources for news in this community for the region. The problem is getting more people to know it.<\/p>\n
“I have almost no budget until I can start selling more ads. Also, the community I cover can be hard to reach. It\u2019s the niche of a niche of a niche, with people often in isolated areas away from large cities and who may not want to advertise their membership. Any suggestions?”<\/p>\n
