Understanding The Strategy Behind Product Launch Formula

The beautiful thing about using a product launch, instead of doing what most businesses do which is try to grow one customer at a time, is you stop using what Jeff Walker calls ‘Hope Marketing’…

… and start using a proven system for generating a bunch of new leads (people who you can market to later on if they don’t buy straight away) and sales (which give you money to spend and use to grow your business now).

The way you’ll be doing that is to create a structured sequence of pre-launch content (which ideally should be in the form of videos with accompanying PDF documents, but it doesn’t have to be) that teaches people a number of valuable techniques or insights that:

  • Give them actionable strategies they can use and benefit from immediately (you’re giving people results in advance)
  • Position you as an expert who can help them to solve their problems or achieve their goals (so they see you as the only person who can help them)
  • Build anticipation for the product or service you have coming so people are standing in line waiting to buy from you when you open the shopping cart
  • Allow you to sell in a non-slimey, non-hyped way, that is extremely effective (so you are authentic, and don’t come off as a typical online marketing get-rich-quick ‘huckster’ or used car salesman)

When you combine this process with a Crushing Offer that makes it easier for people to say yes to buying from you instead of no, you could literally make more sales in a week than you usually make all month (or even all year if you run a JV launch).

The Single Biggest Product Launch Mistake (And How To Avoid It)

Product Launch Formula ReviewOne of the biggest mistakes business owners make before they launch a new product or service is not doing enough market research to find out what people truly want to buy.

That’s why the first rule for any Product Launch is this: Find Out What Your Customers REALLY Want

There’s simply no point in creating and launching a product that nobody wants to buy. Most business owners do at least some market research during the start up phase of their business.

But after that, it’s easy to get sidetracked. Sometimes many of us are in a hurry to get things out there, which means we launch products and services without ever really seeing if the market wants or needs them.

You see, some of the easiest money you’ll ever make is when you create or source products and services that hordes of people your market are ALREADY buying.

Then all you have to do is create a similar product (no copying or staling of course!) and put it in front of your prospects and customers. And the best way to do that is by using a product launch.

So how do you find out what your market is already buying?

There are a number of ways, but here’s two of the best:

Survey your existing prospects and customers and ask them what their biggest ________ problem is right now.  Just enter the type of market you serve where I’ve put __________ and ask them.

And when your people tell you what their biggest problems are, find the most pressing, or the one with the largest number of of people experiencing it, and then create or source and launch a product or service to serve that need.

The second way is to run a search in the Amazon.com marketplace for your general keyword (like “gardening”), and sort by “bestselling” products. If you see a few similar products dominating the first few pages of results, that’s a pretty good sign that the product is popular.

Bonus product launch tip: Another way to find out what’s hot is to follow the money.

Marketers don’t pour advertising dollars into products that aren’t selling. So look at pay per click ads on Google, ads in your local newspaper, ads in niche magazines, banner ads on big sites and similar paid advertisements to see what’s being sold.

Once you’ve found the perfect product or service idea based on what people in your market are clamouring to buy, create or source it and launch it to the starving crowd. And sit back and watch the money go into your bank account…

I don’t want your education on how to create profitable product launches to end there. There’s so much more to know and there’s so much we can get into on the important details. So I’ve created a free Step-by-Step Guide that shows you how to create a 6-figure product launch and a multi-part email course. It’s eight emails over two weeks. Click here to sign up.
