by cbondcarolina

I'm interested in creating my own products, but I'm pretty green to this area and would like some advice on how to get started. Perhaps an ecourse or WSO that someone could refer me to? Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance.

    It depends. Are you going to outsource it? or create your own?

    It is not mentioned what types of product do you want to produce? If you did, it would be easy to suggest, how to get started.

    Hi Cbondcarolina. These are my opinions:

    You can develop a set of questions. Those should provide you with accurate answers about the specific benefits required by your target audience from:

    •the relevant content of a website for them to view it regularly,
    •the freely downloadable signup content of a website for them to sign up with a site's mailing list and download the content,
    •the email updates and newsletters of a website for them to open those emails, and from
    •a set of relevant products/services for them to buy it online...

    You can then develop a contest where participants, members of your target audience, can win contextually relevant and beneficial prizes. You can then use the questions you formulated above as the set of questions they need to answer in the registration form for the contest...

    You can then go to the online communities where your target audience regularly hangs out. Post the contest there. Also link your sig to the page where the contest registration form is found, then start contributing useful, contextually relevant info, advice, tips, strategies and techniques yet to be mentioned in discussions relevant to your content, products, services, target keywords and target niches...

    You can also talk to webmasters of other websites targeting an audience with needs and problems similar to the needs and problems of your target audience. Strike mutually beneficial deals with them so you can post a link to your contest registration page and an enticing description about it on their heavily trafficked, contextually relevant, top SE ranking pages, as well as on their email updates and newsletters...

    You can talk to your family, friends and colleagues. Ask them if they have Facebook friends, family and colleagues mostly included in your target audience. Tell them if most of their Facebook friends have needs and problems similar to the needs and problems of your target audience. Tell them to like your contest page so their friends can see it. Also ask them to do this for you on Twitter...

    Once you have lots of useful, specific details about relevant things: Analyze those details and formulate a product development plan, an onsite and offsite content development plan as well as an offline and online marketing plan. Implement those pplans, observe your results and optimize/improve your plans as you go...

    One of the most important product creation advice I ever got is this:

    - Find what the market is most hungry and dying to buy (aka problem)
    - Give it to them (your product)

      Wow. So many responses. Thanks to everyone that responded.

      So, let me narrow down a bit what I'm looking for. Let's say (hypothetically speaking) my niche were weight loss, and I wanted to create a e-product on a new weight loss regimen that I happen to be an expert on. What steps would I need to take to get that product pushed out. Here's a raw list of concerns:

      *What programs would I use to create the product (photoshop, adobe, etc.)?
      *Where would I go to create disclaimers, privacy policies, things of that nature?
      *Where's the best place to create a squeeze page to drive traffic to?
      *How would the product be structured (table of contents, bonuses, etc.)

      Like I said, this is a very raw list, but any suggestions would be a great way to spark those creative juices and get the wheels turning. :-)

    Hello,

    It's not a bad idea to create your own products. But before you begin with your own product creation - work as an affiliate for some good products and see how it goes in Real!

    Don't go for niches that are real RICH. Better go with the trends. Most of the IM products taste success when it's go with the trend.

    Never come up with something that isn't your own - try to implement things and then you will come to know about the strategies, methods and resources. Then build a product depending on your own experience and there you go - becoming a successful product creator.

    I just created my first WSO here. I din't do this with in a few days or weeks. It will take time to learn, implement and then to share!

    Have a wonderful day!

      My advice is Just Do It. Pick your topic, write an outline, sit down and write the content. It's one of those things that gets easier, the more you do it. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't be a perfectionist.

      Now I always use the SpaxPhone which has a built in recorder that you can use for free and saves the recorded file to .wav on your computer.

      But the best part is the sound QUALITY - which is great if your are using the 'interviews with experts' model to create infoproducts or for monthly membership sites.

      Another good thing is that is about 40% cheaper till 'call out' then using SkypeOut.

      i.e. the expert you are interviewing dont need to be Online (glued to a computer).

      And you save money because you dont have to buy any Recording software (i.e. call recorder or Pamela)


      Here it is.

    The best advice I can give you, "off the cuff anyway", is to make sure you do your planning. In my experience I would say proper planning is highly likely to make or break your project. Can't stress it enough.

    Just to be clear, planning includes everything. All the way from brainstorming, to market research and validation, to product creation and offer planning, to testing and planning improvements, and even more.

    It's important. Don't go at it haphazard, spend the small amount of effort planning and you'll be glad that you did.

    To start off Dont create product on any popular niches like weight loss , earn money, forex etc. take some unconventional niches which is less explored and try to create product for those niches .

      I'm currently in the process of creating my own ebook so I can relate to some of the issues you bring up.

      So far the one thing I can say is that planning is really important. My ebook is turning out to be way more information than I had expected and mapping out exactly what you want to put in it will help keep you on track so that you don't end up spinning out of control with 10 extra pages per section.

      For ebook I would start with a general outline and then refine the outline if your knowledge is really extensive on the subject. Then stick to the outline.

      EDIT: Oh and yea, just get started!

    You got to give it a go and learn from the process. Experience is something you can't teach and buy, it can only be shared. So go for it in your own way and share your experience here later.

    here's basically what I do.

    first I choose a broad market, like travel, money, health something very very big.

    if the broad market gets less than 1 million searches per month it's to small for me. then from there I begin searching in the keyword tool for smaller niches.

    so for example if the market is travel the niche would be budget travel.

    I then begin researching all the problems people are facing related to budget travel. then I actively search and create solutions for those problems and simply report back on what I found.

    put a fair price on it and watch it sell. there is a lot more to this system but this is just a basic overview of how to get started.

    Step 1. Create your sales page with some sort of buy button
    Step 2. Put up a page that the buy button sends them to. This page tells them the product is currently offline but to enter their email as soon as it's available.
    (Why?, so you'll know if it will actually sell before putting any effort into making it.)
    Step 3. Look on Amazon at books in your niche and write down a bunch of chapter names
    Step 4. Set up your chapters for your book
    Step 5. Make sub topics for each chapter
    Step 6. Make sub topics for those sub topics
    Step 7. Fill in the blanks
    Step 8. SELL!!!
    Step 9. Tweak
