Hi;

What's the best way to test a long program to make sure it has good quality? Are there information-product reviewers?

If you're a creative person you know once you make 'a product', you may miss A LOT!



Thanks

    Well... you could offer it out and get reviews from people. If you have a list you could even offer a pre-launch discount, make adjustments from any feedback (if necessary) and then go from there.

    There's no such thing as a perfect product..

    The best way to get someone to review your product and just update it midway once you get the feedback from your customers.

    No matter how well you thought about your product, you will surely miss something. Listen to the feedback of your customers so you can improve it.

    Maybe you can offer a FAQ Webinar / Section on your product so you can answer them later on.

    We always test our product ideas...here are some of the methods:

    1. Create content in line with our product idea (targeted demand, topic, potential differentiated solution) - we have used video series, reports, short ebooks, longer articles, webinars, etc... where we blast out a promotion (using either ads or affiliates for new markets and to our lists for products to existing markets we are in) for 2-3 days to test response. If we see solid demand, we move ahead - if not, we either tweak the content or we send a survey to figure out where we may have missed the mark.

    2. Promote affiliate product that targets same/similar demand - if we see traction then we know the demand is solid, it's just a matter of differentiating your product around the solution

    3. Run a course, webinar, seminar, etc...that is high touch where you can both simultaneously create content and get feedback from your "beta" customers on potential product ideas. For example, you run a webinar on 3 methods to reduce stress (let's say they were meditation, exercise and having a life plan...off the top of my head). You cover these in an interactive webinar or seminar and then guage the interest you get from that webinar to test demand and help you determine which solution area (meditation, exercise or setting up a life plan) gets the most interest.

    Are you referring to conversion rates or quality of what's on the inside?

    In terms of the quality inside...

    There's TONS of people who can help you out with reviews.

    (there's a section for it here on WF)

      Any product needs refining over the time. Sometimes you need to make changes in the course of the product evolution that you don't expect now ...


      So just release the product. Promote it. Sell it. Listen to your customers. Improve it over time.


      Like above mentioned, you can do a short survey by giving it reviewrs. But don't too much stressed on perfectness.

        The absolute best way to test a product is to find people whose purchased a similar or preferably competitor product. They already have skin in the game, so-to-speak. They can notice details many seasoned reviewers miss.

        But you'd better have thick skin. They can be brutally honest if they hate it, but then again encouraging if they like it.

    Best way to do this is Youtube...

    Gaming niche does this the best, there are so many Gamers that play and review games, and all of them want to review that next big game!

    If your product is in a niche that I'm interested in, I'd be happy to review it for you!

      You can search for related categories on clickbank.com, then google "product name+ review" contact the bloggers who reviewed such products and ask them would they like to review your product, they obviously have visitors related to your niche since you found them on the first or 2nd page of google.

      Hope that helps....

    Send out an email to your in-house list (if you have one) letting your subscribers know that you need "beta testers" for an upcoming product launch. When you send out the email let them know you'll be offering bonuses to the ones who give you feedback you feel will improve the quality of your product.

    If you do post for reviews in the WSO forum make sure to check people out first.

    In my experience only 20-30% of people actually ever return a review.

    Just do a research at what other successful people or successful companies are doing with their products before releasing them. For instance you could do a research on Apple and their most recent product the IWatch, do this with a couple other companies and their products either physical or digital and implement what you have learned. There is a typo on your headline.
