The Marketing Checklist: Making sure everything planned (help)

Whether you're starting a basic blog, being an affiliate or building a $50,000 piece of software, I wanted to create a basic guide on things you should make sure you have covered if you want to "guarantee" success. Of course success cant be guaranteed, but lets say we create this list with you trying to be as fool proof as possible in your planning... Please add on anything that I missed, and / or elaborate on points you wish to:


-Think of your overall scope / plan, and plan budget accordingly

-Find a Hungry, Target Market

-Properly position product; what is it exactly

-USP / Unique selling point; How is this different from everything else out there

-Marketing to target market (targeted, interested traffic)

-Provide quality; Something target audience will actually want

-When someone visits your site / product, you immediately grab and hold their attention, so they dont leave before even knowing how good your product is

-Have proof elements to help them know your product / information is legit, and not a scam or money scheme

-Plan how you will delivery your product to audience; website, amazon S3 to save bandwidth, wishlist member or other membership / downloading tool, etc

-Have all your payment information / gateway squared away; if with affiliate companies w9 filled out, paypal account set up etc.


Sit back, and count checks
