I decided to do a survey to try and see if my music magazine would be a success. I asked 20 poeple if they buy music magazines and how often and which magazines they buy.
Q1) Do you buy music magazines? if so how often?
Yes weekly - 8
Yes monthly-7
No never-5
Q2) Which music magazines do you buy out of the ones listed?
Q-4
NME-6
Kerrang-5
None-5
Q3) How often do you buy/download music?
Regularly-8
Often-3
Rarely-5
Never-4
As you can see from these results the majority of the 20 people i asked these questions to buy magazines of the indie genre. Only 5 people from the survey dont buy music magazines at all which means three quarters of the people i asked are willing to buy music magazines. Also only 5 people dont buy any of the music magazines that i listed which means the other 15 people are willing to buy music magazines that are of a similar genre to what mine will be.
Also 16 of the people in my survey download or pay for the genre of music that i am going to make my magazine about. This shows the indie fans are loyal to their genre of music and are willing to pay for it which means there is a seeling point for my magazine.
Might this also help you decide on how frequently your magazine will be published and the roguh cost you could charge - comparable to the other magazines???
