Step 6: Make Your Product Available to the World
Once you’ve completed steps 1-5 you’ll want to set up an automated system to market, sell, distribute and deliver your product. The comprehensive and robust system that we use, trust and recommend for all of our online marketing and sales automation is Marketer’s Choice (a division of 1ShoppingCart). You really can’t produce, market and sell information products or programs online without this kind of system. In fact, this is the system that is supporting the delivery of this 6-part mini-series.
When selling your products online, it’s extremely important to remember that you only have one chance to make a first impression. This means that it’s imperative to find high quality graphic designers, web programmers, sound engineers and any other technical service providers you’ll need to produce a remarkable information product.
Start by considering which production and distribution services you’ll need, noting the person to contact and when you plan to do so.
The following are more resources we highly recommend you use when producing, manufacturing, marketing and selling your Signature Product™.
