Shine On Hollywood Magazine exceeds 17 million global clicks, and asks for pay-it-forward contributions for its formerly free digital publication, to succeed in spreading positive messages from Hollywood to the globe.

August 12, 2014-Hollywood, CA- Shine On Hollywood Magazine (SOHM) shares stories of triumph and success in the entertainment industry, and after releasing two years of free digital issues, the founder and publisher Arnold Garcia is asking for contributions. When asked why, Garcia has several reasons. On it’s two-year anniversary, SOHM has grown globally. Europe, Asia and Latin America have according to views, become addicted to SOHM. There are over 130,000 likes on Facebook, and when Hollywood magazine is searched for on the Internet, SOHM is in the top three hits. To further this momentum funds are now vital to the company.

There are also future plans. There will be an interactive webcast with celebrities, the discovery of global talent, translation into different languages, and interviews with high-end celebrities. All plans need funding. Money is needed to give hope to the undiscovered, to allow celebrities to share their experience to the audience, and to tell the public that Hollywood is not about negativity, he says. Sharing to Garcia means giving and receiving talent between each party. He says that it is what the real Hollywood should be about. 

To Garcia, sharing also means putting out endless hours to create a spark not often seen in Hollywood magazines, the human touch, the passion that commonality exists, and that any individual can thrive and succeed in life. Garcia wants to always show how talent can give back to the community through experience, teaching, and sharing stories of achievement. He passionately believes that for the public to share by contribution is to also feel that human touch.

SOHM has gained a devoted following since its beginning in July of 2012. The magazine has grown from 1 to 25 countries obtaining millions of hits and has documented an astounding array of interviews. 

“Our publication has offered great stories over the past 12 months due to the desire from our readers to devote our efforts in avoiding gossip, violence and negativity. There are members of the Hollywood community that seek recognition in large part, to gain publicity for their current projects. In so doing, we at SOH are not afraid to ask specific personal question which enlightens the importance of the project or the life of the individual in question.. The celebrities and high-end professionals we interview trust our ability to represent true and factual accounts of their circumstances as we don’t twist their stories or quote them out of context. Some of these professionals have been inspirational to us during tough times in our lives, so it’s a pleasure to get to know them personally and find out what makes them tick as individuals.” Mentions SOH Founder, Arnold Garcia.

Christine Aldridge, SOHM's Director of Copy Editing / Staff Writer, said, “There are lots of publications out there that will give you all the latest news or gossip on the superstars, but virtually no others that focus on the real people who make up the heart and backbone of the entertainment industry.”

There are numerous young professionals who can take notes from our magazine for their success! That's what Shine On Hollywood Magazine is all about -  to share the “Real People, Real Stories” in Hollywood by presenting the heartfelt journeys and endeavors of the entertainment industry professionals who are changing lives throughout the industry worldwide.
