We began Network Abundance in the summer of 2007 and launched our first publication, NoNicheTM in early October of the same year. NoNicheTM became an overnight web-success as our small production crew struggled to keep up with the new phenomena that we had created.

We raised the bar a couple times & came close to falling flat on our face a couple times more. Despite overwhelming obstacles: We kept going, endured, paid forward and reaped the benefits.

• First.  We determined, starting out, that there was value in what we were offering when we created publications that combined all of the rich aspects of our reader's lives (from Econ to LOA) all in one place, with limited, congruent and quality assured advertising. We originally (and rightfully) chose not to offer long-term or perpetual subscriptions and relied on reader contributions of only $1.99 per issue.

IN LATE AUGUST 2008, we will begin migrating to a 100% free download (PDF only) content base for our readers and our Sensitive Pie Productions division will manage design/layout services, in addition to advertorial and invitational placements for authors.

• Second. We produced commercial quality magazines in an online only environment.  Early on we decided to walk our talk - even behind closed doors! In doing so, we strictly held to the principles of 'non-waste' and we reduced our own paper usage by over 90% in just a few weeks - a statistic we have upheld now for more than 10 months - we don't even print drafts or proofs....  everything is done completely online!  We also discontinued most of our paper-based print magazine and newspaper subscriptions (a difficult shift in our paradigm).
• Third. We sought out extreme talent, healthy contributors and (sometimes) provocative ideas from emerging thought leaders - later to find that what was provocative in Dec 2007 became mainstay news by May 2008 (ex.,  economic issues)

NoNicheTM endured, gaining increased respect, popularity and exponential applause from the publishing and PR industry & gained an exlusive calling among media insiders searching for new talent. Subsequent publications, ER.U.DI.TIONTM & ZiNE MasterTM fared well, but the public's need for NoNicheTM became evident very quickly.

With the appeal of ER.U.DI.TIONTM and NoNicheTM  understood we decided, in April 2008, to develop ongoing content for our online marketing strategy magazine, ZiNE MasterTM  into a FREE online feature within our networked Front Page environment beginning in August 2008.

In December 2007 we premiered our Pro-Broadcasted weekly radio show through LIVE 365 and provided our interview guests and featured contributors with heightened SEO in addition to promotional exposure for their businesses.

In January 2008 we were told we were ahead of our time when we moved to a virtual flipping pages platform, in addition to our PDF publications. Through ongoing focus groups and reader feedback we found that readers preferred the PDF only version of our publications, in part, due to a lack of familiarity with the use of 'virtual paper'  - which we believe will replace most printed publications in the coming decade - saving an exponential level of precious resources used in the paper-printing, distribution and recycling process.

In August 2008, we plan to return to a PDF only version of our "virtually printed" publications until the general public becomes more comfortable with virtual paper technology. 

Our original idea was to produce unsurpassed premium quality online magazines that people would never call an 'e-zine' and we succeeded. We also wanted to connect and provide opportunities for professionals in a high touch and intimate environment and we succeeded. As our informal network grew, we knew that we needed a better structure that would provide our small membership with optimum exposure, increased SEO and enhanced communication forums.

Today, as we restructure our virtual delivery process, refine our publication timing and explore the possibilities tied to the July 2008 launch of our 'real-time' network - we're also in the process of revising our 2007/2008 Press Kit in preparation for 2009. 

We invite you to view our original Press Kit  and find out what defined our origins, vision and hope for the future.

Now it's your turn to get out there today and share the Abundance!
