Am I Missing Something?

9 replies
I've been taking in the tons of information on creating info products and I feel that I'm starting to get a grasp on how to implement it.

So far what I've gathered is:

1. Pick a niche for the product.

2. Put together a short report, providing a solution to a pressing question within the niche.

3. Put up a squeeze page leading to a landing page>one time offer/upsell>download page>thank you page.

4. Market to list of subscribers through auto responder series.




Please let me know if I'm missing any steps along the way.

Thanks
Anthony

    It's an art when it comes to presenting it in a way where the user feels compelled to move forward with the next step. It takes a lot of study and testing. Occasionally, people get fast results, but more often making real money is the result of creating processes over time.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

      I agree, I'm not expecting any get rich quick or overnight riches. Just want to get out of the phase of info overload and start taking some real action.

      I didn't actually miss it. It's definitely in my head. I was really talking about the sales process. I definitely realize the more targeted traffic I can expose my offer to the better. Thanks for the help. Any traffic tips would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks Jonathan,
    Can't forget the marketing and traffic of course : ).
    From what I'm reading, a strategy to use is to offer the report for their email opt in. Or offer 100% commision to affiliates and offer the full report or ebook before download.

    Any tips on traffic generation and marketing it?

      Thanks Tyler, that's one of my goals in this. Create info products, get people on my lists and monetize it with my own products and affiliate promos.

        It IS a great way to build your list but what you need to monrtize that list is a whole other animal.
        I would suggest you do everything possible to learn email marketing and make sure your emails are valuable as well not just ads as people will start to disregard those.
        Most importantly is coming up with a valuable product.

          I agree, every email can't be a sales pitch. I'm definitely learning everything I can and putting all my ducks in a row before I start this. In my first venture into listbuilding, I mistakenly let my list go and never did anything with it. The difference between then and now is that I see the big picture.

          I've had some successes and enough failures to see clearly the path that I'm on now is the right one. It's just a matter of implementing it.

          Wish I would have gotten involved in the warrior community when I first started. It has become an invaluable resource.
