Since then I’ve helped produce a number of editions of Professionally Speaking for our local National Speakers Association (NSA) chapter as well as a magazine for my wife’s College Admissions Counseling business. I was recently invited by Dick Bruso of the Writers and Publishers Professional Expert Group (PEG) of NSA to deliver a one-hour teleseminar on Magcloud. The teleseminar was given on May 21, 2009. The teleseminar covered three areas: A background on printing on demand for magazine publishers The mechanics of producing your own magazine for free Some examples and my own experience of the time and effort involved.
