I came across this checklist on Facebook and as I’m a vendor myself & a PLRDatabase member, I thought it would have use for many of you, so here is the product launch checklist:
“A few of you have asked me about our launch checklist – so here it is again
FYI… That’ s how we do stuff… you may do it differently or in different order or even with less steps – thats OK it’s whatever works best for you..
It’s important to understand that launches can be unpredictable where many things that can & do go wrong – For a launch to go well, you need the following 5 things to go in your favour… Most of these you can control1. ًyou should not compete with any other major launch that could potentially get traction & take affiliates away from your offer – easier said than done… If they have crap sales copy – you have the advantage so leverage it!
2. ً if your sales copy & VSL are weak you will lose affiliate & customer interest FAST – you should know your USP & marketing angles well before you build your product – for most people its an afterthought & they expect the copywriter to pull rabbits out of their ass after they built the product
3. ً of vendors massively underestimate how important these are as they have to engage Inbox & pre- sell- so do your homework & test stuff here – don’t do these last minute as your affiliates will use them – this will affect your numbers
4. ًYou need to have a tight & highly relevant & productive funnel with in demand offers that will raise your sales get repeat mailings. you should be aiming for 2-3 sales per customer – this keeps your affiliate interest up
5. ً you could have the best product in the world but if people cant buy your product – its all over so monitor other launches on that platform & check with other vendors for problems
If you are unsure about those Five things then don’t launch or you will cost yourself 10’s or even 100’s of thousands of $
Finally you have to consider teaming up with your opposite numbers for a good launch… If you are a product creator consider teaming up with a good sales person that’s well known & connected and maybe even someone that can write good copy for you
OK..These are our Six Figure Launch Checklists yes there is more than one depending which stage we are at :If you skip & screw up here you will cost yourself a lot of money & waste a lot of time
1. Strong Idea – if it doesn’t generate interest / curiosity – STOP
