What are Trade Publications?
Trade Publications have long been the secret weapon for many a freelance writer who wants to earn a full-time income writing for magazines.
Generally, they are easier to break into than the more mainstream, commerical glossy publications.
A trade magazine, also called a trade journal or professional magazine, is a magazine whose target audience is people who work in a particular trade or industry.
Its main goals are to:
• Keep members of the industry abreast of new developments.
• Serve targeted advertising to them, helping them with industrial purchasing and investment decisions.
You can purchase the e-book, Write for Trade Publications, here separately, if you like.
To your success,
