    All business is based on demand.

    The formula and 40 techniques for finding demand we list in "The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur's Success Package" at http://www.infoproductcreator.com show that there are many ways to discover and test demand.

    Personally, I make it a habit to visit a large bookstore at least once a week to take note of new magazines, new issues, article patterns and advertising patterns in magazines within my markets.

    Another approach is to research these magazines online. Here are a few resources that can help you perform this research online:
