Common questions, plain answers.

Who is Techmag.com for?

Working operators in techmag — the people running the day-to-day. Suppliers and recruiters too, but they pay. Operators don't.

How is this different from a trade publication?

It's a network, not a magazine. The notes come from people doing the work this week — not freelancers covering the work from the outside.

What does a free membership cover?

All editorial, the directory browsing, and the operator tools for one operation. Pro tier unlocks benchmarks and contributor outreach.

What does it mean to be part of a network?

This is one of a roster of independent ventures sharing identity, payments, and member infrastructure. Each one runs on its own; together they amplify.

Can I contribute?

Yes — that's the model. Submit a brief, share a playbook, vet a supplier. Working contributors get visibility, credit, and (over time) a stake in the venture.
