The Polymath

The Polymath will be a weekly .PDF magazine providing analysis and commentary at the highest level of intellectual sophistication. It is specifically targeted at the refined, erudite reader.  It will provide the Institute Member with cost effective, typically cash flow positive, access to an intellectually sophisticated reader base that will quickly grow into the millions and provide the Member with the realistic potential to build a polymathic career with Information Age income.

Our organizational strategy is to build Leonardo and The Polymath subscriber base as a byproduct of our efforts to find leads for Institute members.  Because of this, by the time we have sufficient authors for a robust publication, we will also have accumulated several million subscribers.  The mature periodical will be published weekly and contain about 128 pages.  We will sell display ads at prevailing rates while encouraging
 Institute Members to create enterprises that can benefit from display or affiliate style ads in The Polymath.  These ads will be expected to meet revenue generation similar to the CPM for display ads while providing the Institute Member with a cash flow positive, revenue dependent marketing channel.

Revenue sharing for contributors will be quite generous.  Ad revenue will be shared as follows. Ad agents will receive 15%.  Writers receive 40%.  Administration will cost 15%.  30% will accrue to the Polymathic Institute which will primarily invest in projects of its members.

A 10 page report, standard $10CPM and 4 million circulation, the writer will receive 160,000USD.

Article writers will come primarily from the Leonardo Network.
