Every once in a while, agents will ask what they should be reading to stay current with industry trends, new products, sales ideas and other aspects of the business. There are already several threads about this topic, with some good links in them.

For your convenience, you may now sign up for many of these free publications in one location. You can see the list of insurance magazines and publications, and sign up for them directly, from here.

If you are interested in Finance magazines, including financial planning and investment advising magazines, You can see the list and sign up for them directly, from here. (I particularly like Investment Advisor, Financial Planning, and CFO magazine.

If you are looking for employee benefits and HR magazines, You can see the list and sign up for them directly, from here. In particular, Employee Benefit News is an amazing resource.

These free magazines are a good way to stay current or increase your industry knowledge, and I highly recommend them to anyone wishing to get better at what they do. In addition to these categories, there are thousands of other free trade magazines, that may interest you. You can see industry specific links on the side of the pages that are linked to above.*

*Disclosure- The forum receives 50 cents for each qualified sign up. Hardly a way to get rich, but it helps offset the costs of the forum.

I signed up and all I have been getting is email solicitations for more stuff. Finally asked them to remove me from their list.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have yet to see any of the 6 magazines I requested... doesn't matter I guess... I wouldn't have time to read them anyway by the time I read all of the emails they send me.

Nope, still no mag. I know they are real they are just very slow. Maybe they are waiting on the 0 premium life to come out before they send another issue.

Senior Market Advisor and Life Insurance Selling are both good.

Lots of ads but they provide good info when looking to expand.

Mel, what about these?             Go to Top

Broker World..$6/yr

Agents Sales Journal...Free

National Underwriter....Free ( to me )

They need circulation so rates are free or close to it.

I signed up for 4 mags days after this was posted. All I got was spammed to death - took me weeks to "unsubscribe" from all of the emails and have yet to see a single magazine. No bust on Sam, but I think this is nothing more than a way to harvest agent's personal info.

I am all in favor of these, but Tradepub does not include them in their list.

How do you get National Underwriter for free?

I guess if you're getting mags thru a 3rd party marketer, instead direct with the co, you are getting tons of spam. I have signed up directly with these pubs thru their circulation desks.

Re Nat'l Under....I don't know. One day it showed up as a complimentary, and been going strong for over 2 yrs now. I'll check when I get my renewal notice to see if they want reco's and i'll get back to you with specifics. That is a pricey mag...so i'm surprised too.

Seniors have spouses that may be younger and may yet be employed and and/or associate with other seniors and the beat goes on.

Or it gives you just one more subject to talk about at your cocktail parties.
