To most everyone who has posted here, shame on you.

With all due respect, you guys are like a child with a chemistry set.
(who thinks he's got enough knowledge but winds up blowing himself up)

You're all giving the OP little tidbits of marketing to-do's,
various tactics that you yourselves might be comfortable with...

...but I am absolutely floored that nobody is telling the OP
to put the brakes on, and take care of the items that
must be done BEFORE he does one iota of marketing.

Have any of you advice-givers actually reviewed the OP's salespage?
Or his offer? You're telling him to invest in solos and Adwords
but without even seeing if his page might convert worth a damn.


OP, before doing ANY marketing whatsoever,
you absolutely positively must do the 9 items
I posted the other day. Here it is again:

.. > Before you start promoting, it would be a good idea to have
.. > some Warriors review (1) your product and (2) your salespage.
.. >
.. > While you're at it, also ask for their opinion on things like:
.. > (3) the order confirmation email message (this is your "stick letter"
.. > and plays an important role in keeping/sticking the sale, preventing
.. > buyers remorse, and reducing refunds); (4) your pricepoint;
.. > (5) your offer, including bonuses; (6) your support desk;
.. > (7) ease of ordering; and (8) product delivery experience.
.. >
.. > Definitely make sure you've dotted all i's and crossed all t's
.. > before doing your launch. Even something as simple as
.. > not having a help desk ready, can lead to a customer service
.. > disaster, and resulting refunds.
.. >
.. > Good luck with your new web business!
.. >
.. > ps.....
.. > also this would be a good time to (9) collect testimonials

OP, if you do not, then you are setting yourself up for guaranteed failure.

Do those items, then get yourself a decent marketing course.
(maybe that's what warriors should be posting here, recommendations
for marketing courses)

Nice idea. I will try to implement it.. but i want to know how much it costs and which press release site to submit my product?

One more thing..

Are you Howie?..

I love your comments always in SPI I'm a regular reader of SPI since past one year.But I occasionally leave comments in SPI. I got spark to launch a product after reading SPI's How to test market even before creating a product..

I read about your product on SPI reviewed by PAT. Nice...

What would you deem the "free" method and the "paid" method, and what has your experience been with both? Do you find that, for yourself, one generates better results than the other?

I am not planning to set own affiliate system..
I'm asking about which affiliate system((like clickbank, paydotcom and etc) is best for promoting our paid product..

hai Igor,

can you tell me some quality JV forums to promote my product?

help will be appreciated,
Bloggers Mind..

One thing I have found to be VERY beneficial in launching a product is to provide occasional status updates to potential customers. When spending 5-6 months writing and developing my first product, I posted up to 18 status updates for potential customers to read, internally to the platform I wrote my course about. The benefit to do this is:

1) You gain exposure to yourself, your personal brand, and you pave the way for familiarization of yourself and your writing potential (because people are actually reading your writing in your 'status updates')

2) People value transparency, nowadays, and by displaying your progress, and thought process, every step of the way, you develop a powerful trust with your audience. They can "see" as your project progresses, and they can learn from you as you encounter hurdles....and, can see how it develops...and, they can see how you address problems.

3) You actively engage them in the project that is your product. You can ask for feedback every step of the way, in your status updates, and you can gain great invaluable insight into what they would actually want to see.....thus helping you create a better product that best addresses their needs. You may THINK you know everything about your market, but, it's truly best to ask your market what they think themselves.....

There is some downside to the approach, however:

1) If you pour your heart into these updates, it CAN be a very time consuming process.

2) Unless you already have other mechanisms in place, there will probably be very little monetary return, leading up to launch. Your status updates would be primarily for maintaining the transparency that many value...

3) For mine, I MAY have drug out these status updates too long....some people don't want to hear, for months, how your product is progressing....if they are interested, they'd probably only want to hear about it 2 or 3 times, then they would WANT the product there and then. Don't drag it out (like I did...lol)
