A Simple Product Creation and Product Launching Formula

If you tried to think of people involved in product creation, who would come to mind? You may think of Edison, Franklin, or maybe Henry Ford. Would you ever think of yourself as someone who can create a quality product? Product creation is actually relatively easy and product launching is not that tough either! If you follow a few easy to understand steps, you could be starting the product creation and product launching process sooner than you think.

The first step in creating your information product is to know and understand your market. This can be very time-consuming, especially if you are unsure of what to do or where to look to know your market. Studying your niche market and understanding the buzz words and buying patterns can ease the process dramatically. Personally, I would recommend networking with someone who has had success in the niche market you are considering and learn from their results. If they are into product creation and not very business savvy expect some hesitation. If they only sell products and have nothing to do with product launching or product creation you may your first affiliate (sales person)! Something else you can use to find hot trends is with the Google Trends tool.

The second step is the product creation process. Take your niche market and brainstorm ideas and topics relating to it. There are a lot of product launching contests going on recently relating to a newly created internet marketing tool. There are so many aspects to the mentioned niche that literally, and unfortunately, anything can be considered an Internet Marketing tool. The reason that anyone can basically create an Internet Marketing tool is because of something called Private Label Rights products.

What I use private label rights products for, and highly recommend them in this specific manner, is to cure writer’s block especially when it is lingering. Many people base their entire product creation and product launching on a private label rights product. This is where you can start to shine and build a strong brand for yourself. If you set goals for yourself, short-term goals to be exact, you can see your product creation come into being much faster and there is a good chance with less revision needed. If you keep hitting time restraint road blocks; however there is nothing wrong with a slow and steady approach, you can consider outsourcing portions of your project. Outsourcing can be an extremely huge benefit or just as great of a disaster.

You can find someone to outsource work to at a freelance site such as Guru.com or eLance.com. When reviewing proposals it is almost mandatory you perform a background check on them as you are in essence hiring them. Doing a background check on freelancers is as easy as asking for samples of their work and reviewing feedback on the freelance site from previous customers. Depending on the size and requirements of your project this can add up to a decent sized investment, so caution is very important. One tip I always recommend to people looking to hire an individual is to ask them what they can provide you that no one else can. This simple question gives them a chance to “toot their own horn” and acknowledge where they feel most competent as far as their skill set.

The final portion of the product creation and product launching formula is the launch. This can literally make or break the effort, time, and maybe (if you invested) money you put in to your project. There are numerous aspects to product launching and although their relevance is debated in terms to their effect, experts agree all must be followed. The person in your field who you asked for product advice from can help you substantially if you have kept in touch. If not, the first thing you need to do is to create a visually appealing website with flawless design work.

I also mentioned outsourcing before, this is one aspect of product launching I have little strength in and I always outsource this portion. The website does not have to be large however the content (ad copy in Internet Marketing) must be stellar and as perfect as possible. This is where advertising knowledge or experience is beneficial. When the site is set up you now put a lead capture form on your website.

I put two lead capture pages on all products I create on the internet and is one of the best methods of getting a solid start when you are in the product launching stage. When you gain information from a prospect or someone looking to get paid for referring sales you are able to provide them updates or specials. Many people abuse their prospect or affiliate lists by in turn emailing them with a new product daily and I find the recommendations to be totally unrelated to their original need, problem, or interest.

Another stage in the product launching stage is creating a free report or demo version of your product to entice the product to sign up to your email list. Using proper follow up with this can help generate numerous sales for you. One thing you need to ensure is that your free product completely relates to your main product that you are looking to sell.

You are now ready to advertise your product launching to customers as well as the opportunity to sell for affiliates. This is the single aspect that many product creations and launches fail on. It is actually not entirely difficult. One thing you can do is write articles (and a good amount of them) on topics relating to your product. I am a huge advocate of giving a solution in forums. When you join a forum you are normally offered the opportunity to create a signature. In your signature, you should enter the link to your opt-in or lead capture page. When you respond to posts, you are advertising your opportunity.

It is not impossible to create a product and it does not have to take a long time. You need to setup a plan and stick to it. If you get stuck, look at similar and successful products to your own and try and see how they did it. When you sit down and brainstorm you will be surprised with what you can imagine.

Leaving the Corporate World For a Home-Based Business Opportunity

How does a home based business environment differ from the corporate world?Perhaps one of the most sought after aspects of owning a home-based business is having the luxury to create one’s own work hours. However, one must be cautious when determining time periods to work within. This is because there can be many distractions at home that a person may not take into consideration, that can very easily cut down on the hours spent actually working on the business. It is absolutely amazing how a few minutes here and there can add up. Before one realizes it the day is over and they have finished much less work than they intended.Many folks think that working from home means that they can be with their children and work at the same time. Owning a home-based business requires one to have child care so that they can focus on the daily work necessary to sustain their income. Creating a strict schedule daily, allocating certain times of the day for specific tasks and creating a distraction free work area is really the best approach to starting one’s own business.What are some things that one must take into consideration when deciding to leave the corporate world for home employment?There are two main areas that one must consider when making a bold move such as leaving a corporate career to start a home-based business. There are financial and structural issues to consider.Financially, one must evaluate what it will actually take to create at least the same level of income that they received at their job. A corporate job has a set salary whereas an at home business can bring in a fluctuating income, or one that ends up being inadequate. One must also consider the other costs that the corporate job may have provided such as health care, retirement plan contributions, stock options, etc.Structural and organizational differences exists between a home business and a corporate work environment. In the corporate world there are strict guidelines and expectations for employees. In a home-based business, the individual owner makes their own guidelines. For some people this is a very good thing, but others tend to struggle with developing their own system that is the most efficient for their new business.How can one create a smooth transition between a career and entrepreneurship?One can investigate ways to automate parts of their business online or through other technologies. This can help to make money fast, especially in the beginning when there are more costs involved, however, a business plan should be created or purchased to ensure that you have an accurate assessment of the entire business and market. Also, one can delegate tasks to family members or partners of the business. If there is no means to automate or delegate then there may be a better business avenue or opportunity that will allow for this and for one to make money working from home. The reason that I mention this is that one person can not do everything themselves. Some people may be able to but then experience burn out, which should be avoided at all costs.Finally, many people “spin their wheels” when deciding what type of business that they want, and get even more flustered because of the vast amount of opportunities that there exist. Many times it is difficult to know what will work. I recommend following a proven business model and/or finding a mentor that is experienced in the appropriate field.

Real Estate Laws – Need a Map?

I am not going to go into any real estate laws in particular as I really want to discuss the importance of having a good lawyer on your team. Every real estate transaction is different and you need someone to protect your interest and help you to navigate threw all the complex terms and clauses.

A good lawyer is key. They can advise you on what repairs need to be disclosed to the buyer. They can also help with the closing and make sure you do not make any careless errors in judgment.

If you ever want to get into investing you will need a great lawyer on your team. I can not tell you the number of times I have had real estate agents tell me you can not do that, only to find out they did not understand the strategy and in a moment of confusion screamed “hit the breaks”. As an investor you have a lot more flexibility and leeway.

Usually the buyer’s lawyer will advise them to get a property inspection. This is going to include the entire property especially your roof and basement. The last thing you want is to sell your house and get sued.

You do not want to be in a scenario where you had your property sold and you purchased another property only to have your original property returned due to contract breaches or litigation issues such as disclosure.

I always tell people do not think of the money the lawyer is costing you, rather think of the potentially millions of dollars they are saving you in litigation.

Hello my name is Robert but you can call me Bob, a year ago I made a decision that I would not be a slave to money. This is what I learned.
