Can you answer ashley_p89’s question about Homeschooling?:

I’d like to try starting a magazine for homeschooled teens, but I need ideas!

-how to advertise
-how to get contributors
-what kind of stuff to put in; I’ve thought of stories, contests, pen-pals(eventually), articles about homeschool students in the past; feature story about a homeschooled student

Any and all ideas are welcome!

Homeschooling Feedback: I’d share my ideas with you, but actually, I’m in the process of doing the same thing.

Homeschooling Feedback: Homeschool expiriences.
How homeschooling has grown and still is.
Why it is better than the traditional school.

and dont forget to add some gossip (celebs.)

and maybe quizzes, like personality quizes.
Or cross word puzzles and things.

I strongly recommend MathSecret to everyone…

This thing has done super wonders for my children’s (6 and math learning!

Google or YouTube Mathsecret to get more information.

Homeschooling Feedback: It might be more feasible at this time to start it up as an on-line magazine and then see what kind of readership you get.

As far as what to put in… you’d probably want to put in ideas on how to make connections with other teens, interesting things for teens to study, information about how to apply to college as a homeschooler, businesses teens can start on their own, and throw in some things about popular bands and such.

The reason I say on-line first is because you can do it very cheaply, but printing a paper magazine will call for a lot of capital. If you started it online first you could see if there is an interest before you invest a lot.
