Default Re: Your Opinion Please ...

First off, congratulations Raymond on creating
your own information products - great to see
new products emerging in innovative areas.

Is there a market for your topics - absolutely.

What's interesting is that your first product
would likely benefit from an offline marketing
campaign - as a good deal of the interest will likely
come from those either not on the internet or
not looking on the internet. Testing local
newspapers, legitimate biz opps magazines,
direct mail lists, even reprint rights licensing
to specific joint venture partners would be good
places to start. If you don't want to print the
report/book then you could put it on a CD-ROM and
market it that way as a physical product.

Your second opportunity would definitely appeal
to the internet business seeker crowd. In
addition to the excellent advice given, here are
a few other techniques to get good jump out of the
gate:

- setup affiliate program, there are tons of

quality sites that make their money from

listing business idea information for a portion

of profits on every sale.

- write articles for ezines, you will have a ton

to choose from since your product overlaps

automotive, franchise, biz opps, internet

marketing areas.

- develop press release for your product with

a catchy spin, submit one per week to various

sites, newspapers, and other media outlets.

- develop a free report, newsletter, etc... to

build your opt-in list, this will be the

main source of future product sales.

Cheers...
