Sell magazines online
Sell magazines online. Digital, physical, and vintage.
How to sell magazines online
It’s easier than you think to sell magazines from your own store:
1. Build a custom online store
Pick a layout that makes your covers pop. Customize the branding, toss in your logo, and launch a professional storefront before you finish your next article.
2. Upload magazine files
Drag and drop your PDFs, and other files for digital readers or set up print-on-demand for physical copies. Add some enticing previews and a price that reflects your worth.
3. Use built-in marketing features
Don’t just hope for readers. Use discount codes, email marketing, and "pay-what-you-want" pricing to build a loyal fanbase and drive immediate sales.
4. Start selling magazines
Put your store link in your bio, your newsletter, or your blog. One link turns your entire social presence into a global newsstand.
Your own store for selling magazines
Build a shop for selling physical and digital magazines in just a few minutes. It’s your own shelf space where you control and retain all the profits.
Built-in promo tools
One-off sales are great, but repeat readers are better. Use automatic email sequences to announce new issues or offer bundle discounts for back-catalog binges.
No magazine upload limits
Whether you sell vintage magazines or a monthly indie, we won’t throttle you. Upload as many issues, specials, and supplements as your heart desires.
No transaction fees.

The best place to sell magazines is your own store. Build and customize a store in minutes and sell all your magazines without middlemen and revenue cuts.

Bring the tactile feel of reading to the screen. Offer interactive, flip-style digital magazines that provide a premium experience on any device.

Reasons to start your magazine-selling hustle
Self-publishing isn't just a hobby. It’s a direct way to reach your audience. With gatekeepers gone, it’s just you and your readers now.
1. Passive income
Write it once, sell it forever. Your back issues are assets that keep generating revenue while you’re busy drafting the next cover story.
2. Zero inventory headaches
With digital downloads and print-on-demand, you don't need a warehouse full of paper. Your biggest overhead is your imagination (and maybe some ink).
3. Build a global newsstand
Your niche interests aren't local. Sell to a collector in London or a fan in Sydney without ever visiting a post office. Digital delivery is borderless.
4. Total creative control
No editors-in-chief, no advertiser pressure, and no corporate "vibe checks." You publish what you want, when you want, and how you want.
5. Direct fan relationships
Own your data. When you sell from your own store, you keep the emails. You aren't just selling a magazine. Now, you’re building a community.
