Sell to a Starving Crowd
You hear this over and over again when looking to create info products. Or any product I guess.
Many people get a great idea for a product. They think wow nobody has ever thought of this before. This is going to be amazing. There's no competition. But Then... Nobody else seems to have the same enthusiasm for your product. You just can't understand why people don't see the potential. The main problem falls in one place. Find a market first, figure out what their problem is, then solve it. For example take a couple of record companies. Company 1, and company 2. They're both struggling because of the internet not many people are buying cd's etc... Company #1 decides to look at all small outlets they can find. They're going to find the next big star. They find joe blue best jazz singer ever. He's going to be a big star. They sign him to a huge contract, put out a cd and it flops. Company #1 is bankrupt. Company #2 is also trying to figure out a way to solve their problems. But they also understand how creating a product works. So they organize a country wide competition. They audition thousands of individuals, pick a talented group of 35 and then put them on tv. Let the market decide what they want to hear. Declare them a winner, then immediatly come out with their CD which sells. I'm sure we all know what i'm talking about but it's just an example. I read a report by somebody. I don't recall who it was. It goes something like this: He asks a group of university students, if we both had hamburger stands, right next to eachother, same exact looking stand etc. What would you want your advantages to be. Many people came up with prime burgers, maybe a secret recipe etc. (it's a lot more long winded than this) He told them you guys can all have whatever advantages you want as long as I get this one bonus. What was his bonus? A starving Crowd. |
