Launch Jacking Dead End?

17 replies
I have been researching into the strategy called Launch Jacking using Youtube videos. Most, if not all, product owners do not give away review copies especially to newbies. That posses a problem for me: how do I review what I don't know?

How have you gotten around to this (if you do it?)

Thanks.

    Yes, it's called buying the product.

    You dont need to have the product to make a launch jack.

    You should find a product first that is similar to what you are already using. That way you can compare your product and the launch jack product.

    Even if it the blog or video ranks, you can still promote your product that you are using on the page.

    The first step you should do is make domain or video with the exact word of the product. If you promote a product called. "online ninja" you make a site called onlineninja.com.

    What you do on the blog (without) actually Having to try the product is to elaborate what you already know about the product.

    Then entice the audience upto the release date and have your official review.

    If the product sucks and you have a similar product you are affiliated then you promote it.

    If its good, you can tell an honest review on how much better the launch product is compared to one you are using.

    Not trying a product shouldnt stop you on getting to work.

    That page or site that ranks is still worth a lot and you can promote your product or even sell the domain etc.

    Just have to know how to leverage!

    Hope that helps

      Study the other YouTube videos to find out what they know about the product.

      Search here on the Warriorforum to see what people know about it. You can look for the product in the Internet Marketing Product Reviews & Ratings section.

      Once you have all of the info that you can come up with, try to take an angle that other people who have reviewed it have not taken. Also, think about creating a bonus that you can offer along with it.

      Fred, this works. I have done this for a launch that is coming up and I have found a nugget that no one is doing! Thank you so much. Tomorrow I am working on the script for my screencast.

    People who do product reviews never get a free copy of the product. If you really want to get a copy before you review the product, buy it yourself. The product owner will probably not give it to you for free.

    I don't know whether this is the product that you are referring to, but if not this is quite useful when looking to 'launch jack'

    Thanks for all the input guys. I have done my first video and waiting for the launch to take off in 48 hrs. It is going up the rankings but still on page 2 and rising.

    You're best bet is to become a VIP member of JVNotifyPro. You get review access to affiliate products the general public wouldn't get access to.

    Launch jacking has nothing to do with a review. Its where you make a video on YouTube that reads something like "Is product XXX a scam? Read this review before you buy" then in the video what you really do is talk about your own product. You never actually talk about the product you where suppose to be reviewing. That is you have just 'jacked the launch traffic'

    Honestly I did a blog post about this one. Why? Because this has to be without a doubt the most lame way to earn a buck I have ever heard. Its bate and switch plain and simple. Not only are you being detrimental to the person launching the product you are tricking people who are looking for a review of the product. Its the definition of bad marketing and in my opinion anyone who does this is total scum.

    Now I know what some people are going to say .. but it works. Well a used car sales man selling vehicles he knows are junk and wont last 500 miles also makes money. Does not make him any less of a dirt bag.

    Many launches have the product finished before launch time, sometimes way before.

    Simply email the seller and ask for a review copy

    the most profitable part of launch jacking is selling a launch jacking plan to people.

    If you ask nicely and are willing to do something in return some vendors would be willing to give you a review copy

    You have the sales copy to work with so you can explain in further details what the cusotmer is likely to get.

    I am a member of Mike Long's OMG machines which goes into detail to do with Launch Jacking, I highly recommend it (although I think its closed to new members, might open later on in the year)
