Monetizing an online magazine

[Lunarion]

Lately I've been working on an idea that is absolutely not fastlane, but still something that I would really like to give a try. It has to do with a specific part of the education system I work in: bilingual education. This has been booming since 10 years with over 100 schools providing this special way of teaching. However, unlike all subjects, there is no magazine for teachers teaching in this type of education.

After getting in contact with people from all over the organisiation (teachers, coordinators, teacher trainers, national commitees) I've rallied a group of people willing to write articles for such a magazine, that I would like to make available online.

This is going to take a lot of time which is okay, I like this and I'm enthousiastic about it. However, I would like to earn some kind of money from this idea. This is where I'd like your adive. I've thought of a couple of different ways to monetize this.

1) Name the websites beloning to the magazine throughout the magazine, creating visitors. Using Adwords on the website I can create revenue.
2) By making the magazine viewable (using f.e. issuu) but only downloadable by payment (let's say 0,50). This might disturb the initial amount of people wanting to read it.
3) By making a subscription based model, where I have to send a minimum amount of magazines in a certain amount of time.
4) By making the magazine digitally available, but ask for a commision for a printed version (still have to find a website offering this)
5) By making the magazine free for two months and then only available after payment.

This are just 5 different options, all with pros and cons. What do you think?
