From constructing this product I have learnt that using online tools such as twitter, facebook, instagram and tumblr are good ways of engaging with your readers and buyers but are also a good way of gaining audience feedback instantly from people within a particular age group or gender. I believe that this is also a good, modern way of gaining interest in something before it has been created to create a hype over it and creating a market for it before it has been created. 

Magazines often create social networking sites in order to keep up with current trends and to gain feedback from their followers who will also be their audience, this helps them to understand what is wanted and expected of them when creating the print magazine. 

I think if the magazine would be created for real and printed to sell it would be necessary to keep up with what the target audience are interested in and therefore being regularly seen as having an online presence would be important. This would give me more of a connection with the readers, and a way of encouraging masses into buying the magazine. 

It will also mean that bands can easily promote the magazine (particularly if they feature in it) to their hundreds of followers which could mean the amount of readers the magazine has will increase dramatically.
