Why don't you try ditching the idea of printing it - make issues
available as PDF once a month, free download for registered users. Your
registered user list and number of downloads gives you some idea about
circulation - you can then take that to advertisers. With zero
print/distribution costs it should be a lot easier to make ad revenue
cover costs of commissioning articles, editing, hosting and bandwidth.

There's another web magazine I read regularly that uses this model, and
it seems to work well for them.
