It's either you be creative or innovative.
Creative means, you observe the market and come up with a
good solution. Basically, using your brain to think of how your info- product
can solve the existing problem of what the market is having.
Like, if you see there are a lot of people having a problem
to write a sales letter, you come up with a sales letter generator software.
Or, if you see that a lot of people are trying to organize their joint
venture’s details, you can create a joint venture profile software. Basically,
you'll be the first person to hit the market. Make sense?
But if you want to minimize your risk of failure and make
money fast, I'll prefer to be an innovator.
Observe the existing products created to fulfill the demand
of a market.
See how good the sales volume is.
Then, I'll be an innovator to provide better Solution or tap
on the existing opportunity.
Not sure what this means?
Let me explain ...
If you happen to see in the market, there are a lot of sales
letter generator software right now because there are a lot of innovative
marketers.
Another example of an innovator marketer -- A relatively new
company call Pay Dot Com that provides similar service like Clickbank.com.
It was launched successfully following the creative company
called Clickbank.com.
Clickbank.com was the first (That I know of) website that
provides credit card processing service with built-in affiliate tracking
program for internet marketers to use.
Now, there are more innovative marketers that have created
affiliate tracking tool that can be integrated with other credit card
processors like Paypal.com, 2checkout, authorize.net, etc.
Innovative marketing doesn't limit to copying what is
successful and trying to be better, bigger or cheaper.
That's a very narrow observation on how to be profitable and
it'll normally fails.
Just by adding these 2 extra ingredients in it, you'll
change the whole profit model:
1. Finding an angle
Finding an angle means how you can position yourself unique
from the originator. Example, Clickbank.com was a success. But other affiliate
tracking tools that did not have a built-in credit card processor were very
successful as well by integrating with third party credit card company.
Paydotcom is also another good example of this. They solve the core problem.
2. Complimenting to the pioneer
Create an info-product that can ride on the existing
successful market. Let's take Clickbank.com as an example for discussion
purpose. There are many new tools created to enhance the convenience of using
Clickbank.
Examples are:
Software to manage your Clickbank.com affiliates;
Software to extract your Clickbank sales report into a
Microsoft Excel file;
Software to create Clickbank.com search engine Tool that is
integrated with Clickbank ID;
Video tutorials how to setup Clickbank.com account;
and many more.
Observe what's happening on the internet. Then, decide
whether becoming a creative or innovative marketer will give you more profit
and yet can reduce your workload. Then, TAKE ACTION.
