HOME magazine by Mercury magazines is being offered for free to eligible participants. I entered. I don’t know yet if I qualify to get one. According to the form I saw, you have to enter in your information, including address and email. I use my “spam” email address (just in case). I also refused my phone number and the process went along. Choosing the “job” was hard– my career, that of freelance, self-employed writer, was not listed. I had to be a little creative. This is from their FAQ:
Are these magazines really FREE?
Yes…they are really FREE! There are no hidden costs, bills, or obligations. Unlike consumer magazines, which are available to anyone for purchase, these business publications are available at no cost, but only to those who qualify. While the publishers make no money on subscription sales, they are paid a premium by advertisers who want to get their message in front of a highly targeted audience. This allows publishers to offer them at no cost in a model that benefits the consumer, publisher and advertiser alike – everybody wins.
When will my subscription arrive?
Your first issue of your subscription should arrive in 10-12 weeks from the time you completed your survey, provided you are qualified by the publisher. Please keep in mind that delivery time may vary from publisher to publisher.
What’s required to qualify for the subscription?
Publishers have a variety of criteria they use to determine qualification for their publications, and are solely responsible for determining the specific requirements needed for qualification. Unfortunately, Mercury Magazines does not have any influence over this process.
Looks like a good deal, and the company claims the magazine is truly free.
