What I’ve learned from these covers is to be a “Teen BO$$”, you need to be talented (at least I know Jojo is), work hard, and be a good salesperson. It also helps to be white, thin, and pretty.
So, the usual.

A publication telling people how to Get Rich Quick? What a novel and inspiring genre! This feels like a middle class white (at least from the cover designs) version of hoop dreams (the concept, not the movie) tell all the kids that a things that looks easy to do and is fun anyway should be their long-term goal, despite success being a rare long-shot.

Our boys’ (14 and 16) heroes are the youtubers making $$ from crappy (often vertical) videos. They watch with quiet awe as yet another pair of “rare” sneakers is unboxed. And videos of people hurting themselves.

Check your airline points. Most carriers let you buy subscriptions for relatively small amounts, a flight or two will get you enough.
I had a friend who signed his (white, male) collegue up for ebony and cosmo after taking a few surveys from United Airlines
