How do you know if your product is good enough?

Give out review copies.

If your product provides 'value' for your customers, then it's good. Yes things can always improve but take it one step a time.

Do you feel like there is value in your product?

If so, then start promoting it.

If not, then ask yourself why?

Everything starts with you.

If you are selling a product that you feel good about and believe in, then chances are you will do well.

Conclusion:

If you feel good about your product, start advertising it to your 'target' market.

Don't be afraid to test the waters.

If you don't feel good about your own product, ask yourself why and then start making changes and then advertise.

Ask for feedback from buyers.
Give review copies.

If sale is good, then your product must be good enough.

Ask yourself if it's something you'd personally buy. If yes, then it's more than likely that someone else will. If not, then you can't expect anyone else to buy it.

A good way of finding out if your product is needed or wanted is to have a look at what your competition is doing and selling.

Are you providing your customers with a better or worse product? How much are they charging? Why is your product different from theirs? What kind of reviews have they gotten?

Ask yourself the questions above and if the answers are mostly positive then chances are that a majority of your audience and potential customers may enjoy it.

But as someone else said, give out a few review copies to some people and ask them for genuine feedback.This is a great way of finding out if other people might enjoy it.

Good luck!

Did you personally buy it for yourself ? Yes or no? think like a buyer

Provide fellow internet marketers with some review copies

Be sure to read the rules about [Reviewers Wanted].

Be careful who you give review copies. Many people troll that forum requesting copies and never providing a review. Depending on your product, you might want to require some qualifier, like number of posts, or previous reviews.

Make some friends with some warriors (who have good reputation) and offer them your product for review personally.

Uh oh.

I hear a warning bell.

Did you run out and create a product because YOU thought it was a good idea?

Or did your target market TELL you and then CONFIRM that it was a good idea?

See, creating things in isolation is the worst idea. SaaS developers do this all the time, and they frequently create a solution nobody wants. Why doesn't anybody want it? Because it doesn't solve a problem the target market considers significant, or even acknowledges exists.

This is why information interviews, to get to know your target market, are so important.

Let them tell you what they want.

I had a lot of sales, writing, business etc. knowledge before I found this forum. But I spent three months in the Offline section, which felt the best for me, just answering questions.

Seeing what people there wanted.

Then, when it came time to make a product, it was easy. I knew what they were struggling with, what they valued, because they had kept telling me.

After that, there was a successive improvement in the product.

At first it was a 1/2 hour coaching call.

Then there was a recorded version. Gawd, it was UGLY. I didn't know anything about membership sites or video editing. But people bought and loved it, because the content was great. It solved their big problem about selling.

A year later I got around to turning it into a membership site.

Much prettier.

After that, I split it into two because there was so much content.

Nowadays it's three sites.

This is an iterative process, for a flagship product.

But the quick answer to your question is: your target market told you repeatedly this was a serious problem for them, and you provided a competent solution to it.

The feedback from your market tells you how good it is. But first, make sure your solution is connected to your target market's reality by having it solve a problem they admit they have.

One Question is Would you buy it?
Also Give Out some review copies.
And Ask For Feed Back from the ones that buy.
Hope that helps!

You can give some people free samples of your product to get some reviews and then you can put them with your product ! !!

Everything is learned in comparison. As for me, I always make competitors research, it helps to determine the disadvantages of your product or services, define what is missing and what are your competitive advantages.
If your product can compete on the market - it's a good product.

Well if the product sells and your return rate is less than 5% then its "good enough".

If you want to know if its good enough to start selling in the first place, then just compare it to an existing successful product or service feature by feature and by price.

John has it right, after having launched or been involved in launches of hundreds of products, no matter how well you do your homework, design your product based off of proven demand triggers, ride on the back of popular content, etc... you really don't KNOW how well it will sell until you move through a test launch.

What you want to do is go through your launch, get it into the hands of as many people as you can and quickly adjust/pivot based on your initial feedback.

I have also launched products by first teaching a course (in one case, a low-cost weekend seminar, in another a no-cost webinar) that helped me test the system I was about to launch in my course - this turned out to be invaluable as it crystalized the main pieces that held the most value so I could adjust the course to emphasize and augment those areas as well as tune my marketing message to these areas.

The simplest way is to ask your customers. They will typically tell you what they think.
I don't like the idea of review copies, typically I think they are abused.

Your REFUND rate would tell you very quickly--at least in the Internet
Marketing arena.

If I understand your question correctly you know that the product is
"good" but question the value level--in other words the price.

-Ray Edwards

Does your product provide value to your viewers, fans, customers, subscribers? This is the only question to be answered in this case.

(If the niche is IM) That's because I already have made money with it.

Another question that pops out is: what's the price of your product?

Is product good enough will be highly related to expectations of your buyers/target audience, and their expectations will be closely related to product's price.

I would say that people will have different expectations from $5, $50 and $500 products. I hope you see my point.

And that doesn't have anything to do with how "large" your product is, how much content it contains, etc. It will actually depend on product's quality and what type of problem it solves.

And that's where we come to what Jason Kanigan said about doing your research on what your target audience actually wants, or determining what "real life" problem your product solves.

And also, as couple other people said, test as much as you can. Doing a test launch is fairly cheap, quick and easy these days. Then ask your buyers for honest feedback and see what that brings you.

The way I know my product is good enough
is if it's something I would purchase and,
preferably, have purchased.

Also, I'm aware my product will never be
up to my own standards, that it's okay to
make mistakes and adjust along the way
according to customer questions and needs.

That's far better than taking months to
come up with a consensus that could have
taken maybe a week with real world testing.

For me I think that the only way for you to know if your product is any good is if you create it and launch it. Wondering if anything that I have done is good is something that has stopped me in the past from taking action.


I now know that if you want to make it in internet marketing you have to think less and take more action because the minute you start to overthink anything is the moment that you have failed. The more time you take to think, is the more time you give yourself to think about all of the reasons why you should not release the product.


So I say release it, get feedback and then improve.


Take care.
