I need an honest answer

kenny5 · 02-26-2010, 01:30 PM

OK, so I have an idea for a product, and I need some input on whether you personally would be interested in it, and whether or not you think other people would be.

I am thinking about creating an eBook about what it takes to be a successful internet marketer, not specific techniques or a magic system, but what you have to do in order to succeed.

It would consist of things like your mindset, what qualities you need to have, and how you can start transforming yourself in order to be like that.

I believe that once a new system gets released and a ton of people buy it, it becomes less valuable and effective. This is why I'm thinking about creating this product.

I want to be able to help people be successful online without handing them exactly what they should do on a silver platter. The main goal with this product would be to show people how they can come up with their own ideas and be successful on their own without telling them exactly what to do step by step.

Obviously this is a very rough description as I have only just come up with the idea.

Anyway what do you guys think? Does this have potential? Would you buy it?

Thanks everyone

I would be concerned your ebook would get buried, as there are so many others that have done something similar. I think you need to think of something that would really set you apart. Granted, if you have some people that use it and do well, then that would set you apart, but that is an important bridge you must cross.

Kenny-

You could maybe sell it... but it will depend
very strongly on identifying a strong USP, and
showing a boatload of proof.

Why would someone buy this as opposed to
a guide that tells them EXACTLY how to succeed,
including techniques etc?

That's the objection you'll need to overcome.

Good luck with it.

I'd have to agree with Dvduval -- there's just so much out there that's similar that I've tuned it all out. It'd have to be super extra special to catch my attention.

Maybe use that idea for an ebook to give away on your site....then on the final page, offer the customer a detailed version of what you're talking about for money. good luck!

First of all Are you a success? are you Making money? Everyone has an E-book of their own at least in their own minds It's been done over and over and over again and will end up something that you can't give away save your time and put it to better use

i think they are all right when they tell you that ther competition will almost drawn you if you are not original.

making a video tutorial or creating an mp3 will do better than the book itself [my opinion alone]

Don't let all of this discourage you though...
Just because it's already been done, doesn't mean that it's still not profitable. You can do your ebook, just do it like no one else has done it before. Advertise it differently, market it differently, write it differently. YOU HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT, even if you use the same idea!

Cheers!
