Here are some of MTI’s most popular resources:
Managing the Magazine: The Business of Magazine Publishing
A seven-disk DVD course
Knowledge of good business principles will not guarantee success. But, failure to apply good business principles almost always guarantees failure —or at least, a day-to-day struggle for survival. Learn how to assess the present status of your magazine, identify problem areas, and find solutions. Discover how to lay a successful foundation for a new magazine or a more solid foundation for an ongoing magazine. Since 1999, hundreds of Christian magazine publishers from dozens of countries have taken this course at conferences held in Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hong Kong, Korea, India, and the U.S. The course includes the 100-page Managing the Magazine manual on a CD.
Design for Magazines

Attractive design can increase your magazine’s appeal to readers, enhance readability, and more effectively communicate your message.

Since 2001, hundreds of Christian magazine editors and designers from dozens of countries have taken this course live in conferences in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Romania, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. The course includes the 100-page Design for Magazines manual on a CD.
