Launching Your Product: Here's What To Do Before Anything Else #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Launching Your Product: Here's What To Do Before Anything Else



so the first stage of a product launch
is what is called the pre pre launch
okay the pre pre launch so this is well
in advance of the actual launch of your
product now the purpose of the pre pre
launch is really to prepare for the
actual launch of the product as much as
possible so what I usually do you know
during this phase is immediately once I
know the name of my product and maybe
I've gotten a logo done for this product
then what I do is I set up what is
called a coming soon page okay
coming soon page this is basically a
one-page website a landing page or a
lead page fairly simple to do using
leadpages but I set up a coming soon
page it basically just says this product
you know whatever the title is is coming
soon to get notified of when it's going
to be available putting your name and
email address so that I can email you
okay so this coming soon page what it
allows you to do is a few things number
one is it plants a seed in people's
minds that there's something coming okay
plants the seed so people all of a
sudden they're like wow this is exciting
there's a new product that's coming it's
gonna be available and you're basically
building you're building your launch
list through this because people that
put in their name and email are people
that are very interested in the release
of this product and so what this is
going to do is is it's gonna help you
plant the seed but also when you launch
your product you're then going to have a
list of people that are highly
interested in buying that product when
it's available or learning more about it
okay so this is very valuable I this is
the first thing that I always do
like I said as soon as I know the name
of the product if I have a product image
I put that up there as well
but I want to start building my launch
list as early as possible because when
you have an audience when you have a
list then that's what's gonna allow you
to drive a ton of sales you know to that
product and the great thing is you can
do this before you even created the
product okay you don't need to have the
product created in order if you do be
able to do this what I often do is once
I set this up that I'm creating my
product there on after and sometimes
what I do is once I have this launch
list is I'll email people that are
interested and I'll ask them you know
I'm creating this product right now what
ideas do you have or is there something
you want this product to include or what
are your biggest challenges or problem
is that I can help you solve in this
product and I try to get their their
feedback along the way you know one
thing that I did that was really
powerful when I first created my
affiliate marketing mastery course is I
announced it to my followers subscribers
everyone that I knew that I was creating
this new course what that did during the
pre pre-launch phase is it again planted
the seed people got excited builds up
anticipation and I put together this
coming soon page and then from that I
was able to get a lot of people's
feedback and ideas and learn more about
them so I could tailor the product to
them so that way it was a much easier
sell because I'm basically giving them
what they want okay
versus me trying to guess or try to
figure that out
so this is a fantastic way to be able to
do that and another thing that I did
when I created affiliate marketing
mastery was I was very transparent
sharing the process that I was going
through so I shared in videos and you
know emailing the list giving them
updates along the way and I also when I
actually I when I was creating the logo
for the product I decided to do a
99designs contest and have them vote and
pick on which logo that they liked the
best that would then become the logo for
the program so now people are being
invested in the the creation of my
product and when they're invested in it
they're gonna be more likely to want to
support it and want to buy because I
feel they've had a part of it so this is
very powerful again these are things you
do early and you might not have
you know anyone to announce your product
to you but that's okay still set this up
because even if you get a few emails
even if you get 10 emails 50 a hundred
emails which isn't that hard to do
but you get that list these are highly
targeted people that are gonna be highly
interested in your product and it's
gonna help you significantly for the
marketing of it you're not gonna have to
wait to the last minute a lot of people
only do their marketing once their
products out there I like to do my
marketing several weeks or even months
in advance before my product is even
available okay this is also very
powerful if you have an Amazon product
you're publishing a book for example
because are really an T product because
that creation of the product is gonna
take time you know an Amazon product
that you want to sell a physical one can
take several months to launch on Amazon
because maybe you've got to go back and
forth with suppliers or maybe you know
it takes there's delay is often times
you know that with the manufacturer and
shipping the product let's say from
China to the United States so there's a
lot of time in between that you can then
spend on working on the pre pre launch
and really marketing your product and
getting it ready for successful sales
also very valuable to have a list like
this if you're selling on Amazon because
it gives you a way to boost your
products rankings on Amazon right off
the gate so when you launch our product
you can boost it to the top for your
keywords because you can get a lot of
sales in the short period of time
also it's a great way to get a lot of
reviews for your product because then
you'll have a lot of people that you can
be in communication with and you can
follow up with them to leave reviews on
the product and that will give you a
huge boost and it can really you know
give your Amazon product or your Kindle
book lasting momentum from the moment
after that launch okay so that's the
first thing what I like to do next thing
that I do that I highly recommend
is to build the branding okay the
branding of it so the branding consists
of everything from your website your
blog your social media presence okay so
if you're for example launching a brand
new company you know it's gonna sell
this product you set up you're coming
soon page but while you're waiting for
your product to be developed and you
know the launch of it you set the
branding in the sense you're gonna set
up your Facebook or Instagram your
Twitter you're gonna set up your YouTube
channel you're gonna set up your blog
you're gonna have all that stuff set up
so you have some form of presence as
well as having the branding that you can
then use to help promote and sell that
product once it's available it makes you
also look a lot more professional as a
more legitimate bigger company so people
gonna trust you a lot more as well when
they do decide to you know research you
or you know learn more about the product
so building up your branding is
something I like to do and just kind of
set all that up right you know during
this phase and then the next thing I
often do is create content to start
attracting people as early as possible
okay so content and you know content in
the forum let's say of videos or it can
be content and form a blog posts social
media content I want to build up a
following of people I want to attract
people to me so that I could funnel this
into my my launch list to my coming soon
page and and build a relationship with
people because the more people that you
have on your list and the more of a
relationship you have with them the much
easier it's gonna be when you tell them
about the product and it's when it's
available the more gonna bought more
people are gonna buy it so a lot of
people they create the product they put
it out there then they start doing all
this stuff by that point it's too late
you know like of course you want to keep
doing that stuff thereafter but do this
stuff as early as possible set up all
this stuff and you know you have time on
your side and then like I said a lot of
times when you're building your business
or creating a product you're you're
there's a lot of delays sometimes where
you might not know what to do you know
even if you're creating a book let's say
you're have a writer that's writing a
book for you it could take weeks or
months oftentimes people sit around not
knowing what to do during that time
while they're waiting for their book to
get ready you know or in the same way
again with an Amazon product you might
be waiting months you know for the
supplier you know the manufacturer to
manufacture the product well during that
time it's a great opportunity to start
building your launch list and working on
the pre pre launch okay so that's what I
highly recommend that you do is often
what I always do okay next is press
releases okay press releases press
releases are statements of news that are
very valuable for marketing and it's a
great opportunity to start doing that
during the pre pre launch basically
every big company they submit press
releases anytime they launch a new
product well in advance so Apple they
submit press releases oftentimes
actually these big companies they're
really smart what they do is they
actually leak information intentionally
you know on purpose they will leak that
maybe there's a new iPhone coming or
there's this new movie or whatever it is
and it got leaked but they did that on
purpose because they want to create
rumors they want to get the market and
people talking about it get a lot of
excitement and anticipation so they
often sometimes leak things too but
press releases are great so you would
create a press release and in that press
release and now said there's a new
product that's coming to the market this
is what the product is here's the
benefits here's the features of it and
you know here's the date that that's
gonna be available when it's gonna be
available to purchase here's how they
can buy it and even create press
releases very inexpensively by going to
websites like Fiverr calm okay and get
people there to create the press
releases for you there's other you know
you go to upwork.com you can find people
that can do that for you
and then once we have the press release
you want to submit it to press release
directories you can find people on
Fiverr comm they can do that for you or
there's some higher level directories
and websites you can submit your press
Elisa's to PRWeb calm is one of the
biggest ones does cost a bit of money
but that will ensure that your press
release will get the most amount of
tension and the benefit of the press
release is you'll get traffic from that
okay so you'll get traffic to that -
like you're coming soon page and build
or your launch list but also primarily
you can get media attention it can get
picked up by media lets and they can
start like other bloggers and and
whatnot they can start announcing this
you know on their blog or you can also
get interviews or get on TV radio
podcast things of that nature which is
also very valuable as well
so creating press release I always
always do that very valuable again
creates a lot of lot more buzz a lot
more excitement
another thing often do during this phase
as well as I think about how can I
differentiate my product or how can I
just how can I make it even more
attractive or you know pile on the value
with it
so that I can sell a lot more and what I
like to do during this phase is think
about creating bonuses bonuses for my
product so I'll think what are some
other things I can include that when
someone buys this product I'm also gonna
give them as a bonus to further add more
value to them and incentivize them to
buy so if it's less let's say an Amazon
product using that as an example let's
say it's a supplement you know I've got
a weight-loss supplement well to go
along with that supplement I created an
e-book right so when you buy the
supplement you're also getting a free
ebook as well so you're getting this
bonus that then increases the overall
value that is basically giving someone
more bang for their buck they're getting
more value in return for the amount of
money that they're spending so it could
be a bonus such as an e-book it could be
a video a video series it could be an
audio it could be a checklist the
resource list it could be you know it
could be a lot of different things but
think about what you could provide even
more more value to that person that's
buying your product and I especially
like to use bonus
is maybe during the first week of the
product product launch because then I
can really drive a lot more sales during
that period of time by telling people
that I'm only making this a bonus
available for this limited time or it
could also be you know maybe it's giving
your time you could offer uh you know
webinars and Q&A is and live streams for
people that sign up you know during the
launch week of your product so I always
like to think about that what are
bonuses that I could create that will
complement the product and thinking
about the bonuses I base it off of you
know people that are buying this product
what are the biggest problems challenges
or goals and what else could I create or
provide for them that can further help
them achieve that you know helping them
achieve their goals so think about that
I like to do that during the pre
pre-launch and I spend time creating
those bonuses during this period so that
I'm prepared well in advance for that I
would say you know also start planning
your just your overall your marketing
strategy so you should be planning if
this phase you know what's the strategy
that you're gonna utilize once you
launch the product and afterwards you
know how are you gonna market it how are
you gonna sell you might for example be
planning during the launch week you
might be running Facebook ads or Google
Ads or YouTube ads or Instagram ads or
Pinterest ads start planning that early
plant plan nap prepare that if you're
gonna do social media marketing in this
phase start creating the social media
images that you're gonna then use to
promote and sell the product so again
the more prep in terms of the marketing
the strategy you have is the more it's
gonna be better for you you know even I
might even create videos that I can then
release thereafter at least start
planning it you know start planning and
thinking about this stuff as early as
possible okay the next one this is a
great one
is try to start getting testimonials in
advance okay
that when you can get testimonials for
your product as early as possible it
will help you during the launch of your
product so to get testimonials one of my
favorite ways of doing that is that as
I'm creating the product I might find
certain people that could benefit from
the product they maybe like the initial
version of the product or even just the
draft or whatever it is and I try to
find people that I can you know either
give the product to you for free or at a
discounted price and an in exchange for
a testimonial so I'll kind of have like
a beta group of people that can go
through the product and what's great
about that too is that you can actually
get a lot of feedback on the product you
have people test it you know let's say
it's a supplement or let's say it's a
physical product again you could you
know find some people and say hey I'll
give you my product for free to test out
looking for ten people that you know can
test out my product and in exchange for
that would you be kind enough to give me
a testimonial that I could then maybe
use on my website in my marketing maybe
it's a video testimonial whatever that
might be but I try to get those
testimonials in advance because then you
can use it makes so much easier when you
launch your product and thereafter so I
try to get those in advance as well as
any feedback that you can get from
people same thing if it's a book you can
get people that can go through the draft
of the book before it's publicly
available they do this in movies all the
time too you know often with movies they
allow certain groups of people to be
able to watch the movie first so that
they can leave their reviews of the
movie before the public is able to watch
the movie so this is a very smart
strategy that I would really try to make
sure that you do and you know a lot of
authors do this you know if a certain
author releases a new book they'll try
to get endorsements beforehand they can
they can use on the cover the back of
the book from other people and they can
then provide to help sell that book even
further
can the other thing I would do during
this plays the space is plan what is
called your oto which is a one-time
offer okay a one-time offer so during
the launch of your product it's a great
opportunity to make an incredible offer
to really incentivize a lot of people to
buy initially and one of my favorite
ways of doing that is I often try to
make an offer around some sort of sale
or discount that I can provide
especially they're people that are on my
launch list I really want to reward them
for their patience or even their
contribution to help make the product
possible so oftentimes I'll start
planning in advance so when I launch the
product I might say well for the first
week there's an early bird discount or
there's a limited time sale that you can
you know save 25% during the first week
but then after that the price goes up so
what that is doing is it's creating more
urgent urgency for people to buy the
product during that launch week or you
can create an offer around the bonuses
you can say the bonuses will only be
available for the first week you know or
you know maybe you can provide a coupon
code to people if they can then use to
get a discount on the product
maybe it's buy one get one free you know
really think about what is an
irresistible enticing offer that you can
make available when you first launched
the product and when you first launched
the product you know obviously you're
not gonna profit as much by doing that
but what I like to use that as an
opportunity for again is to get that
boost and that traction with the product
because I know if I do that the right
way if it's an Amazon product you might
not make as much but the boost you get
from that and the reviews that you can
get will really help you make money
long-term so I'm always thinking about
the long term of this product what I can
do with it and and so that's why I like
to create some sort of offer to further
incentivize people
you
