DIRECTIONS
You must develop your own product or use an affiliate product. There are three elements to product creation:
- What are the problems of people or companies?
- Asking the right questions for ways to solve?
- Tell your target audience what you can do for them?
What can you do? The product must solve a problem that saves people time, labor or cash. Look for efficiency, ease of use or automation to eliminate labor. Validate the process below and close a gap in the market that already exists. If the product is a content product, then create a written version, audio version and video version. The creation of the product is the easy part. Selling it is the difficult part. What are your options?
Validate, create and tell your target audience to sell them!
