there are many ways in which magazines make profit:
circulation and subscription: circulation is when a person simply goes to the shops and buys a magazine. however this makes little profit for the magazine due to costs such as travel for the magazines to get to the shops. this is why they have subscriptions which make more profit as money is made every month and the magazine is distributed straight to the reader.
classified advertising: these are ads placed at the back of the magazine and take little space but are very expensive for the client meaning a lot of profit for magazines.
other advertising: this is the best way that magazines make revenue as ads placed throughout the magazine cost a lot. they also make the magazine look better as there are no spaces around the stories.
there is one new company called Realview which distributes magazines online which is said to increase the revenue for them. an example of one of their clients is Indonesian Cosmopolitan.
