By the end of this article you will be ready to bring your product into the market and see great success with it.
Create Your Product
The first step is kind of a no brainer; if you have an idea for a product then you need to create it before you can even think about bringing it to the market. So what's your idea? Is it unique? Do people need this item? Is it better than what's already out there? If not then can you make it unique, something people need and better than what is already on the market?
If you don't have your product created yet then you can do something to ensure that it is at least a product that people want. Ask people what they want! Go in forums, groups and so on that relate to your product's category and ask people to send you their number one question or concern about a product of your type before they'd think about buying it. So tell them what your product is going to be, what it'll do and then ask for their questions. People always have questions and you want to be able to address them! It might even be a good idea to offer the product for free to anyone who sends you a question. This will get you more responses and it will help you in the second step of your product creation.
But if you already have something laid out and are pretty set on it then you need to get everything together and create your product. If it's an information product then outline every single thing people need to do in a manner so that it's easy to absorb the information when they have your product. Check for errors, get your cover art set up and so on. If it's a physical product then start putting a bunch of them together in the way that you feel is best for your customers. This isn't a step that you want to put off because without it you have nothing to market! An idea is useless if you do nothing with it.
Test Your Product
Once your new product ideas have been converted into actual products then you need to test your products out. But, I don't mean test them out yourself! Because even with something like proofreading a book you're not going to catch all the errors. So you want to go back to the people who gave you their questions in the first step or find people in your target market. And yes, you are going to give them your product for free in exchange for their feedback.
This is how to market a product like a serious business professional, so don't worry about giving away a few products. You're going to find out things about your product that you never knew; trust me! You might even find out that your product only really works for you, which will save you a ton of money from trying to market something that people are just going to return. Or you could find out that your product is amazing but that it needs a few tweaks here and there so that it's easier to understand or use.
And above all, you'll know how your target market reacts to your product. Plus if you get praise from the people testing out your product then you have testimonials for your sales page! Just ask their permission to include what they said and you'll have a little bit of text that will help you sell more products than some of the best sales copy will. Testimonials from real people always seal the deal on sales.
Perfect Your Product
Now it is time to create the final version of your product; the one you are going to burst into the market with. You found out what people wanted, you found out what they thought about your product and now it's time to make changes to it so that it's the perfect product for your customers. This is going to save you a lot of stress from dealing with customer complaints and returns and, with all the praise you'll get, you'll see continual sales.
So, look at how your product testers responded to the product you first created. Did they like it? Did they have a difficult time with anything? Did it break? Did they achieve the results you promised? Did they suggest anything that you didn't think of? These are all questions that will be answered when looking at the written responses they gave you or by remembering what they said to you in person.
And you want your final version to wipe out ALL of these concerns and issues. Modify anything you can so that it is the easiest product to use. Make sure that it's as durable as possible. Make changes to your product so that your customers will, without a doubt, attain the results you promise. Or even modify your claims so that what you promise is really what they'll get. Add in any suggested features or methods that were suggested that would make it a better product. And by the end of this process you will have one heck of a product and you'll be ready to set up your own product launch.
These are proven methods to bring your new product ideas to the market and blast past your competition. So create a product that people want, test your product and refine it before bringing it to the market.
