Ok, so… I swear I’m not a moron but…I subscribed to the magazine online. I paid. I got a conformation email. How do you get the online version? I keep getting a screen that says not found…arrrgh!
Go to http://legendarycougar.com/magazine/ and click on “Magazine” on the menu across the top and log in. I had a bit of trouble finding it initially too (and got that message but forget where exactly). Hope this helps.
Got it. Thank you.

I initially had problems with my user name. I hadn’t ever submitted one, but it turned out to be the start of my email address 
Is there any easy way to print it out? I can’t seem to find a way and it’d be nice to actually hold something!
Good edition
You can’t print it out in any convenient way short of screen prints that would then have to be reassembled. Many of us have purchased a combined on-line/print subscription and get a hard copy magazine in the mail. I actually don’t read each issue until my print copy arrives.
That’s been my experience. Since I’m in the UK, the online version was easier and cheaper.
Still very happy though
In the UK you can order from Amazon.They print copies locally, (in the UK) for less than we can print and mail from the US. We do offer print subscriptions pretty much world wide, but it is expensive due to the very high cost of postage. (Postage alone is over $8 an issue!)
You user name will, in almost every case, be the first part of your email address, (everything in front of the @ sign.)
Every email we send out has this information and also the steps you can take to reset your own password, at the bottom of the email. Or email me and I can help you with anything that comes up. And occasionally weird stuff does pop up, so don’t feel bashful about asking.
The photos look as good as they do because the files sizes are huge. We are running our own proprietary software server side to display the magazine. Even if you have the original file you would not be able to see it without the soft ware. Maybe some day we will be able to make the software a down load and then you could have portability, but right now the trend is to keep things cloud based.
If you are on here and also a subscriber, here is how you can save pages as jpegs.
Up on your tool bar, click on Tools. Then click on Page Info. A new window should open. Click on Media. Scroll down to where you will see a url that ends in pages/vol_1/iss_4/003.jpg or something like that. Click on that URL, and you will see the page as an image, in the Media Preview window. Click on the Save As button and save it as a JPG. If you can access a printer that can print 11 x 17 you are can then print it out full size.
They’re not cheap on Amazon! Roughly twice the price of a regular car mag with 100+ pages!
Never mind, I’ll try the tips to print them out tomorrow. It’s not really much of an inconvience tbh, to just read it on my iPad?
I am seeing different prices on different issues all about 9GBP with free delivery using Amazon Price. That works out to about $15 which is our cover price here in the US.
Most car magazines are 50% advertising, we have 1 page of advertising, so as far as editorial content we are about the same…
Since we have about 375 print subscribers we will always be more expensive than a magazine with 100K subscribers. The good news is that if you are into Cougars we will have 100% more Cougar coverage than just about anyone else.
Pretty cool that it is available on Amazon!
I think it is a helluva a value myself (even if regular mags cost less or much less). I also think the Cougar community is very lucky to have people that are willing to put forth all the effort I am sure it takes.
Thanks Bob. It really is expensive for the overseas subscribers. If your magazine was in print in 2006 you could get a grandfathered International Periodical postage rate that is about 90% less than what we pay.
BTW, Issue 4 is in the mail since Wednesday AM so it should start showing up in mail boxes pretty soon. They shipped them from here to Denver for sorting this time. I don’t know if that will make it faster or slower. They are trying to consolidate operations and I am pretty sure things are not going to get better…
Just subscribed the other day and got my 1st batch today. Except the wife won’t let me have till Christmas. I may have to be a snoop this year. Thanks!
We just updated the site with a preview function so you can see the first page of most articles in each issue. I believe it is drug dealers that like to give you your first taste for free? LOL!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I understand completely why it’s priced as it is.
It’s just that its relatively expensive for the print version here in the UK.
But After all, as you said, it is 100% Cougar and so 100% interesting 
Just out of interest though ( no need to quote figures, it’s none of my business 
) but is there much more profit having it hosted on line as opposed to having it printed in another country?
I completely agree that it is more expensive than what I think it should be. Of course, the same can be said about Octane over here… I would like to find a lower cost print on demand service but so far it looks like Amazon has the market cornered.
The reason that no one has done a Cougar magazine is that it is not a good profit opportunity. There just aren’t that many of us. I see this as a hobby thing so the money is not the main driving force. I can’t afford to subsidize it in addition to my time so it must generate some income. I don’t mind sharing the financial details because I do see this as sort of a “between friends” deal.
It is hard to nail down exactly what we make on the online subscriptions. Basically we get $2 a month per subscriber ($4 an issue every 60 days). The cost of keeping the site up and putting the content up varies, but an average is probably about $1 a month per subscriber, which leaves us with about $1 a month per subscriber. Of course that doesn’t include the cost of actually producing the content.
When Amazon sells a copy of the print magazine in the UK we get about $2.60 in royalty payment approximately 60 days later.
