The simple answer would be for you to query your magazine’s readership! Before you start a magazine, the first step is to determine whether or not the magazine’s concept resonates with the primary target demographic. In essence, you want to confirm that the idea that you have for your new magazine is one that is of interest to the readers that you plan to target with the publication. Ok, you say, but exactly how does one go about ascertaining that one’s great idea for a new magazine will be popular with the primary target readership?? Great question!
You have to create readership surveys that target your primary readership demographic. Keep in mind that this is only possible if you already know who your primary demographic is! Presupposing that the latter is indeed the case, you must then create surveys that query the magazine’s demographic about various aspects in regard to the new magazine concept. You can create a website and provide downloadable surveys in PDF or use social media like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok, et al. to gauge the interest level of the targeted readership. And of course, in your survey(s), one question that you need to include should be the following: “What is a good magazine name for children?” ;)
