Create Buzz About Your New Info Product And Then Launch It

Now that you’ve gone through the painstaking task of creating your information product, doing market research, and creating a creative yet effective marketing plan, pick a launch date and start to get people excited about your product.

To start your frenzy about your new info product, join forums and comment on other blogs that are talking about topics similar to what you discuss in your info product.  Or go to a discussion forum and join.  Social media websites such as http://ning.com allow users to create their own social network and invite others to join their groups. This is a great way to promote your info product and to possibly recruit new affiliates.

Make some announcements using your favourite social media and watch the news spread like wildfire. If you have an existing affiliate program, send your affiliates articles, banners, and other tools that will help pump them up and make them want to sell your newest info product.

A new way to create excitement about your product is to host a teleseminar or webinar to showcase your product to your target market. These webinars get people excited about the product and they are more likely to make a purchase so be prepared to accept pre-orders. At the very least, collect the email addresses of your attendees so you can let them know when your info product actually launches.

Another way to create buzz is to offer your product for review to a few heavy-hitting bloggers or marketers in your field. Reading a testimonial or review of a respected expert can reinforce the customers desire to buy your product.

Be a guest on a relevant podcast to spread your news even further. At the very least, if you’re short on time, consider running some audio ads on podcasts with a large following for more exposure.

While you can launch an information product with pizzazz on your own, if you are totally lost and know you’ve got something good to sell, you can create a frenzy about your new info product by following strategies other people have used successfully. Whether you decide to go it alone or use the help of a product launcher—take the time to do your own research and be as creative as possible.  A product launcher may give you ideas on how to be creative that you hadn’t thought of but the final marketing decisions are yours. Since your name is on this information product, you must be proud of the marketing plans.

There are many ways to get you and your product noticed, before it’s even launched, so see what others are doing and start creating some industry buzz for yourself.  Use social media, host a teleseminar, or visit forums and start chatting about your project. Create a pre-order landing page so you can gather possible customer email addresses prior to the actual launch.

While you’re going through this process it’s also a good time to look at what your competitors are doing in this area. Take the time to do your research and see how many ways you can find your competitor on the Internet through searching. Take notes and strategize ways to get your info product recognized. If your competitor wrote a press release about their product, you should write one too and search for places to post and announce your product.  If nothing else you’ll find inspiration for things to add to your idea box.
