Marketing includes matters such as pricing and packaging of the product and creation of demand by advertising and sales campaigns. There are other options, of course, like product creation, resale rights marketing, joint ventures and the likes, but they are merely secondary to the above.

If you take the freelance route, it is important to ensure that all rights to profit from the final product, or any materials produced in its making, remain yours. Bookkeeping, physical product creation or delivery of goods can be done better with specialized help. Determining the purpose of the product is vital in niche product creation.

Implementation of Methodology – The choice of implementation of Six Sigma methodology depends on whether development is required on existing processes (DMAIC) or on new process/product design creation (DMADV). Determining what you really want to sell, something that you can be relaxed selling is the first step at the creation of a niche product. With the technological advancements in the hosting industry, from automated control panels and scripts that simplify creation of accounts; to complete turnkey solutions, there is no excessive need to worry about spending time on the actual product sold to the customer.

For instance, you should be prepared to either perform yourself or to subcontract the completion of the following tasks:- Product idea research (are there any existing products or patents already existing for this idea)- Product specification document training (what it will do, how it will look, how will it be powered, and how the user will interface with it)- Marketing study (what it will be named, who would buy this, how much would they pay, how will we get customers to purchase the product)- Schematic or electronic circuit design process- Creation of a bill of material or BOM and an approved vendor’s list or AVL for each component in the design, preferably with multiple sources identified, with a BOM and AVL for each assembly level in the product- Printed circuit board layout design process (single sided board, double sided board, or multilayer board; size of the PCB; board material)- Mechanical packaging design with user interfaces (displays, buttons, switches, key. This removes all product creation costs from your budget as a marketer.

No other database of affiliate programs offers such a possibility for profit on either the affiliate side or the product creation site. Your chosen niche should allow for the creation of more than one product or service.

There are several marketing strategies that are necessary in the creation of a successful e-commerce web site – Email marketing (broadcasting) of prospects/customers – Effective use of auto responders (generate automatic email messages) – Online Newsletter – Online Form / Survey to capture your prospect’s email address – Electronic Product Delivery (if you sold a digital product) – Advertisement (Ad) Tracking – Back End Sales – Affiliate program etc.

When I started my home based Internet business, spending months focusing on all there is to know about Internet marketing, I came to realize that just because some have something of value to say, doesn’t mean I need to know it, or know it now, or know it all. There is too much information to learn it all, and you need to learn how to put it down and refocus in the right direction, submitting press releases.Never Give UpThe biggest thing I know to be true for all new business owners, is that if you give up, you will obviously not make it in the Internet marketing business world, and most likely not in any type of business — online or off. This is what business is all about in the beginning, and you need to stay the course. As frustrating as it may be or get, you must never give up.There is a way to take smaller steps that can be learned and built upon. Whether you are looking for a new home based business or you have just started one and want to gain control over what it is all about, I want to share what I have learned that will give you some breathing room. So please relax, this endeavor is not as big as you might think.If you are looking for a new business opportunity, this information will help you step into and start a new business by helping you focus on what is most important to it’s growth or existence — gaining customers.If you have recently started a new home based Internet business, then this information will help you step into, and get your new business off the ground on the right foot by helping you focus on what is most important — gaining customers.You need to learn how to gain customers — first.This might sound like a contradiction if you do not have a business. But I’m not asking you to gain customers for a business that does not exist. I said, you need to “learn how” to gain customers.I understand that you cannot bring customers into a business that does not exist. However, you still need to understand that it is the customer that makes a business function. Without the customer, there is no business — none. You say, “Steve, that is a no brain-er, who doesn’t already know that?”The reason I am telling you this is because most people searching the Internet for a new home based business or some Internet marketing business opportunity are trying to understand what “a” or “the” business is all about first, or what the business plan or model is all about. While this is important, it is not as important as first learning how to attract customers to your business or offer.Many home based businesses have everything already setup for you. Therefore making it very easy for you to step in and quickly focus on what is important — gaining customers. (Every business has it’s start and it’s existence because of it’s customers.) Learning this will open your eyes to possibilities of owning or running multiple businesses.So, in light of the fact that many online business opportunities already have the business model in place, therefore allowing you to focus on the customer, you want to first learn some basic information about attracting customers before you join a business, or continue trying to learn everything about the business or company you are associated with.Once you get some basic understanding on how the Internet can work for you, and how you can use some simple and free resources to attract and gain customers, you will then begin to understand what and how to look for a new home based business, or how to more effectively run your existing Internet business.All of that being said to bring you to my point and exercise. And that is that only through experience will you fully understand what I am sharing with you.Free Press Release SubmissionYou can do a Google search for “Free Press Release Submission” to find a free press release site.
