Face of Fifty Plus Magazine
|
(scroll to bottom for FOF+ Insider Membership FAQs)
|
- What is the format of the magazine? It is a .PDF file.
- Why is the magazine digital? Digital magazines not only provide convenience and immediacy, the quality is much better than most print magazines plus they are environmentally friendlier without the use of actual paper. (PLEASE NOTE: FOF+ Insiders will have access to a flip version of the magazine.)
- Can I get a print copy of the magazine? Yes! You can purchase a print copy HERE. Please note: print copies are fulfilled by a third party company. All orders, printing, shipping & delivery are outsourced and not handled by Face of Fifty Plus.
- Why are there only four issues? It would take time, a large budget and a full time staff to create a monthly magazine. Currently, we are only operating with one of those elements. As our readership grows as well as our ad revenue, we may revisit offering the magazine on a more frequent basis, provided it makes sense and the content stays fresh.
- How do I get my single digital copy of the magazine? After you purchase your copy of the magazine, you will receive a link on the receipt screen to download the magazine.
- Where else can I purchase the magazine outside of the website? We have submitted requests to sell on Kindle, Apple, and Android based platforms. If and when those approvals are made, we will send out a newsletter informing everyone.
- Can I share my copy of the magazine? No. The magazine platform will generate a specific link and file for the purchaser only.
- How many pages are in the magazine? Each issue will vary but we strive to have meaningful content that is also worth the price. The content will range from 60 to 100 pages depending on the issue.
- When will I receive my copies? All digital copies will be received immediately after purchase. Print copies will be based on the printers production and delivery schedule.
- Can I be on the cover of the magazine? At this time, we are not looking for cover models. However, if this changes only FOF+ Insider subscribers will be eligible
- If I'm having trouble accessing my magazine issue, who do I contact? Email us.
- Can I subscribe to the print version? Not at this time. The print version is being handled by a third party and due to upfront costs, we can not offer a print subscription. However, if there becomes a large demand for a print version we may change this in the future.
- Why are the print copies so expensive? Everything is expensive these days! But mainly due to small, on demand print requests. One magazine ordered might be close to $20 but if 100 were ordered it might be $10 per issue, but you'd have to come up with $1,000 upfront.
- What are my payment options? You can use Paypal, or via the Stripe platform you can enter your credit card of choice. CashApp and Zelle are not accepted.
- Do you offer back issues? No. At this time, we are not selling back issues.
- What if I don't like the magazine, can I get a refund? No. There are no refunds or exchanges. We are confident women over fifty will find something interesting, compelling or useful in each issue. If you think there is even a remote chance that you may not like the magazine, we would suggest you not purchase it or perhaps purchase one issue (instead of subscribing) to get an idea of what to expect.
- What do I do if I find some false or erroneous information in the magazine? We try our best to fact check information and provide appropriate credit, however since the magazine is created by humans. . .mistakes are likely. Please contact us and depending on the error, we will print a retraction in the next issue.
- Can I advertise my business in the magazine? Yes, please visit our advertising page for more information.

- Can I become a FOF+ Insider at any time? Absolutely! There is no specific sign up window. However, you might miss particualr events or content posted during the time you weren't a member.
- Is the FOF+ Insider membership only for women over age 50? It is definitely ONLY FOR WOMEN. Women over 50–ideally, yes. HOWEVER, if you're in your late forties you're probably able to relate to what will be shared more than someone in their 20s or 30s.
