If I had a dollar for every time someone told me, “We don’t need a magazine — we’ve got Instagram,” I could probably print your whole first issue.
In this video, I’m breaking down why relying solely on social media might be keeping your brand surface-level — and what you can do instead if you're serious about building something with depth, legacy, and long-term impact.
I’m Doris, the founder of Inspired Publications, where I help fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and home brands turn their message into independent magazines — and publish them straight to the newsstand. No pitching. No overpriced PR retainers. Just powerful editorial built to last.
Whether social is working for you or not, this is your invitation to zoom out and ask:
Is the platform you’re building on actually supporting your long-term goals — or just stealing your time and calling it growth?
Want to start building something more intentional?
