Behind the Scenes: Our Product Selection Process

Today, I am sharing the process I used to create my first successful product. Now, this process is far from perfect. In fact, I would refer to it as Beta version of what I hope my team's product creation process will be someday. (Read full article - https://goo.gl/KCCofo) But I can definitively say that this process works! It's the process I've used to take Jeffalytics from $1,000 in product revenue during 2015... To over 100K worth of products sold the next year... To $100K in sales during one week during 2017. In this edition of Behind the Scenes I'll share how we select the products we create at Jeffalytics. I'll show you how we figure out which products our customers want. And I'll discuss how we were able to get traction with the core products we continue to sell. Where the journey began I've been a full-time digital marketer since 2005. And even before that, I was an online creator. But the majority of my career I've been consultant and marketing agency owner. I have had very a nice career in the agency business. But something was always missing. So in 2013, I set out to create my own products. A rocky start My dream of being a product creator didn't start out quite as smoothly as I would have hoped. I didn't make $1,000 in revenue from my products until 2015. It took me over a year of work just to generate $1K worth of sales. Oops! Some lessons are learned the hard way. But I persisted... And in 2016 I made over 6-figures in revenue from online products sales. And then in November 2017, I launched a new product that resulted in $100K worth of revenue in one week! These results allowed me to transition Jeffalytics from a consulting company to a product-focused company. How did we get traction? The first significant change in my product selection process happened at the end of 2014. As 2014 came to close, 12 months of experiments with new product ideas had resulted in just $1,000 worth of sales. In order to keep going things needed to change in a hurry.  I was desperate. But, my desperation led to a new idea. A lightbulb moment so to speak. "Instead of assuming I knew what my audience wanted... Why don't I just ask them what they would pay me for?" So, I took all of my product ideas and wrote them down in an email. Then I sent out a survey to my list of about 1000 email subscribers. The one dollar offer The subject line of my email was: "What do you want to learn? Tell me an I'll develop a program for you for just $1." I sent this email out on December 31st of 2014. (This was my "Oh crap! I haven't gotten any closer to my goal this year" moment.) Product Ideas The seven online course ideas I included in my email were: In the email, I set up a link to a survey in a Google doc. And I asked my subscribers to vote for the course they had the most interest in. At that time, most of the people on my email list had participated in one of my in-person trainings. So, I had a personal relationship with many of these subscribers. Making a bold commitment Within the email I committed to two things: Fist, they could buy the winning product for $1. After credit card processing fees I wasn't even going to make any money on this offer. But, the feedback was that valuable to me. Second, I committed to building the most popular course by February 1st, 2015. That gave me under 30 days to create a complete online course around the winning product idea. Thankfully, the responses to my email started rolling in. I got all sorts of feedback. Some subscribers even ignored my survey altogether and wrote me full replies about what they wanted to learn. And, after tabulating the votes from all the responses, the winner was...Google AdWords. PPC Mastery Course was born My subscribers were most interested in learning about Google Adwords. So, I created PPC Mastery Course.  Fast forward to today, almost two years later, and over 4,705 students have purchased PPC Mastery Course. This past November I presented at a workshop in Bali called Startup Grind. During the workshop, I shared this story, in more detail, with a group of entrepreneurs. So if you want to hear more background about my start-up experience, you can check out the video below. We are still using this product selection process This product selection process worked so well to help me get into action, and create valuable products that we still use it today. It all starts with a survey Just this past summer we sent a detailed survey out to the Jeffalytics email list. And once again our subscribers responded. We discovered that our subscribers wanted to learn about lead generation. They were also really interested sales processes and client management. (Read full article - https://goo.gl/KCCofo)
