If you have grandiose plans for your product launch, it's never going to get launched.
Write a simple report. It doesn't have to be big, just 10 to 20 pages. Write a quick one-page sales letter for it because... it's only a report, right? Launch it, price it at $7 or $10. Limit the special offer to 10 buyers. After 10 sales, close the offer. Now you have $100 in your pocket for the report... great, right? But it's not the huge launch you hoped for.
That same afternoon, write the next chapter in the e-book. E-mail it out to all your buyers for free (if you were really evil you could charge $1 for the upgrade... but I'd rather not have to try and juggle multiple versions of the same book). Post another special offer with the upgrade book for $11... again, limiting it to 10 buyers.
You can add these 10 new buyers to your list. (Funnel all sales into a product update list... otherwise this is useless.) Repeat the process. That afternoon, write another chapter, add a couple bullet points to the sales letter, mail out the free upgrade and then post the offer for $12.
Do this until you have a 50-page report (10 chapters in addition to the original report)... $100+$110+ $120 + $130 + $140 + $150 + $160 + $170 + $180 + $190 + $200 = $1,650
More importantly, it equals 110 proven buyers. You can expect many of those buy from you again if you launch similar reports for that same niche in the future. If you wrote one "article" (I call my chapters "articles") per day for a month, you would launch 3 reports and get 330 buyers (some duplicates... let's say 200) for a $5000 profit.
You don't have to write every single day. If you pumped out 5 articles in one day, you could take the rest of the week off... aside from 10 minutes a day posting a special offer and dealing with customer support.
Continue for 6 months, and you won't have to do incremental launches anymore... your list will be big and you can write a report, launch it, send an e-mail, and take orders.
I hardly use AdWords, joint ventures, article marketing, social networking, nothing. I make a product, post on a forum, then e-mail my list of 8000 people (mostly previous buyers... because they are the most responsive!)
I only launched 3 e-books in June 2007... 7 chapters, each chapter had a video, they were 50 page reports with 60-90 minutes of video. The book part took a week of writing one article-chapter per day and a total of two hours making the videos. On June 19th, 2007, I made 362 sales totalling $3,058.72 ($2,850.02 after fees). The total PayPal sales for that whole month and the 3 products I launched was 978 sales totalling $11,420.30... $10,541.05 after fees and a couple refunds. That plus my Clickbank accounts and day job income totaled $15,000 income for one month... not bad for a 22 year old! (I was 22 at the time.)
