Your Opinion Sought on A Product I May Produce

7 replies
So, I've been affiliate marketing seriously for about 12 months now. In those 12 months I have averaged about $150/day (slowly increasing) using a very simple system I work.

This system is nothing revolutionary. In fact, there is really no secret to it at all. I do nothing special that you can't do, no matter your experience level. In fact, I jokingly refer to my system to friends as the "dumbed down marketing method."

Basically, I've taken bits and pieces of various other systems (IE Blogging to the Bank, B.U.M., etc.) taken the parts that were most useful to me, and combined them into a simple, easy to follow system that pretty much works for any product.

Over the past 6 months, I've thought about releasing my system as an eBook product. I would include the course in eBook format, as well as support forums. The book would primarily be marketed towards the beginning to intermediate marketer.

My question is: Is there a market for a product like this, or has the market seen all it can digest. I know the value of my information, but I have a hard time convincing myself that there are people willing to buy it.

I truly value all your honest thoughts and opinions, positive or negative!

    I say there is a market, do it up, get some testimonials via Wso and sell, why not. People love simple ideas that would make them $150 a day. Thats 54k a year. Heck I will even check it out more in depth if you want. Just pm me.

    Good luck and believe in yourself, that is how you will convince others.

    There's always a market for making money. Obviously you don't have to guarantee $150 a day but if you can show proof that you've done it then people will buy.

    So yeah, go for it!

    Is there a Market ? Well yes and no ..

    First you must ask yourself "Will this product solve others problems?" As the product user and creator you could answer that very quickly and say YES.. But -- Don't be so fast to answer that question because you must take into account several things

    * Newbies know virtually nothing about affiliate marketing so are you going to go into detail (with no fluff or filler) and explain this to them

    * Will this be easy for anyone to follow step by step, even those that never heard of an affiliate program before

    * Can this information be obtained someplace else for free, in other words is it just rehashed junk

    * Will I support my product and answer any questions someone has about the methods used, even if its a month later

    * Is my product really that unique and is it of high quality

    * Can I show unaltered proof that my system does infact work

    If you can answer these questions properly, then you can get the answer to your first question.

    One thing you have to remember the market is tired of people that say "I made $500 a day and so can you, just buy my product" Many have caught onto such scams and run away as fast as they can. On the other hand if you said "I will show you and take you by the hand with a step by step system how to make atleast $50 a day" then more people would be interested. The reason is just selling an ebook on how you did it does not mean it will work for everyone... But -- promising support and a step by step system will catch more people's attention.

    By providing support (which most think as OMG I got to answer emails) you are doing several things here..

    * You are helping your customer which is why they purchased from you in the first place.

    * By answering support emails you are also helping yourself to improve your product because you now know what v2 of your product should include.

    * You will build a loyal customer base because you stand behind your product.

    Providing support is a must... Just slapping an ebook together and selling it and laughing your way to the bank is the fastest way not to earn any additional sales off your customers.

    If you can follow a certain path here and actually help solve a problem then I would say, Yes you have a market for this product.

    Notice I did on purpose bold, underline, and make red certain words.. This should be self understood why I did it...

    Hope that helps..

    Very infromative James,

    I can honestly answer yes to all your questions. Sure some of the information IS available for free online, but knowing how to put it all together is where I come in.

    Support is important. My plan is to offer a members only forum that I would moderate, as well as email and "Possibly" phone support. I really feel like if I do this, I want to do it the right way and build trust so that my second launch is bigger and better.
