This is most likely our last Live <strong>Magazine</strong> for a while. As we head into Christmas and the new year, we’re looking at big changes for our beloved magazine. More on that in a moment, but first a few things we’d like to share. When we started, this was little more then a catalogue with a few cosplay and game stories. Not many people understood what we were doing creating a magazine. After all, many big name magazines had the market to theselves. Still we had a vision. Our first issue got around 2,500 readers. Not many but a start. We grew our content, our contributors and also the reader numbers. Our previous issue got over 30,000 readers. Not bad for a small publishing team with next to no marketing budget. Those reader number many not seem huge but when you stack them up agains other big name magazines and their digital issues, we’re way ahead. While some publishers combine web with digital magazine readers we’ve found some stats that give true reader numbers of just magazines: However we found a good article from “Statista - The Statistics Portal” that you can visit here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/324561/digital-magazines-ranked-by-circulation-uk/ A screen shot on the opposite pages shows the digital readership from some big name titles. We looked back at the last 12 months of our readership from our two main newsstands - Issuu and Yumpu and, on average, we’re getting 30,000 plus readers per magazine/catalogue. So why are we mentioning all this? Bragging - no, not at all. We’re wanting to thank our readers for their support as we transition into the next season. Changes here at Gametraders may see this as our last issue, but we’re in talks to keep Live going. More on that soon. For now I’d like to say a big thank you to some special people who made Live possible... “On average Live <strong>Magazine</strong> & sister titles Retro Live and Cosplay Live each would average around 30,000 reads per issue.”
THE LIVE TEAM: Paul Monopoli our Retro Editor whoes passsion is inspiring. Scott Sowter, Comics and movies Editor who was alway there to create his magic. Anny and Tiffany our Cosplay Contributors and editors who sought out the most amazing cosplayers to be featured in each issue. Nick and the team from Sticky Trigger. The team from VG Chartz who supported us with news and reviews. The wargaming team - Ben and his group. A big thank you to Loretta from Sony for always supporting us plus our brilliant art director/designer - Giselle. Have a great Christmas - hope to see you in February next year.
