I Love To See All Of The New IM Product Launches
If you are like me I just love to see all of the new internet marketing product launches. And when they come out all at once it can be very exciting and distracting.
It makes you kind of forget just what you were looking for. And with all of the products out there, which one do you really need and how will you use it?
Here are 5 things you should think about when trying to decide whether to purchase that next new product…
1. Step back and take another look. Yes, it it is easy to like shiny new things, I am one of the worse, but determine how it will help you. Unless you have deep pockets all of those shiny things can and will leave you broke. And you won’t have anything to show for it except a debit on your bank statement.
2. Develop a plan of attack. Once you decide to purchase that new thing how will you set it up? And more importantly what will you do with it? Is it another new thing to gather dust on your hard drive? Then maybe what you need is an external drive so all of that stuff you bought can sit there. At least it will leave room on your main computer for something important.
3. Get the best deal. With these launches there are usually affiliates selling their wares or giving away their own products as part of bonus packages. If you can use their link to get some good stuff go ahead, sometimes they may be giving you something that might be better than the launch product, rare but it could happen. But remember to decide if you can use any of the products, you may be able to make something up later, when choosing a link. Do not let the amount of bonuses influence your decision.
4. Consider the upgrade these launches may offer. Nowadays when you purchase a product there will be an upsell to consider. I recently purchased a product, yes I do buy, and the upsell was very intriguing. But I had to decide if I really needed the upgrade right then. Was I going to be using that product right now and get the full effect of what an upgrade would offer. Maybe if I really wanted it but could not use it now I would have to come back later and purchase it at the higher price. But if I was making some money it would not feel as bad when I bought it. You could then feel like you earned it.
5. If you buy it make sure you are going to use it. There are many marketers and affiliates that can tell you about their own customers who have purchased products but did not use them. They probably have shelves of products and the trusty hard drive with tons of stuff on them. I can admit to being like that for a while but I hope to think I have calmed down a little bit. Now I want to know that I will be using it if I am going to purchase it.
Most honest marketers will offer you a guarantee to make sure it will work for you. But don’t be some shifty con artist just trying to abuse the generosity of some good marketers out there. It makes it bad for all of us and they may not be as generous with those guarantees.
I hope this list will give you something to think about when you are trying to decide on that perfect or must have product that will be coming out on a computer near you. There are a ton more reasons that could be thought of.
When there are only 500 copies it can be tempting to want to go for it. You see I love to see all of the internet marketing product launches. Leave it alone, maybe I saw it first and I want it now. I need something to balance my book shelf.
Great advice! I think many of us fall into the “trap” of shiny new things and want it right then and there, but forget to assess if it will really be beneficial to our business or not.
Launches are great but you have given excellent advice about them. Always make sure it helps you NOW and take action when you buy it.
If you can’t do both skip it.
I like this part of your comment:
“You could then feel like you earned it.”
It’s a wise way of looking at future purchases.
Great post, I especially like, if you buy it, make sure to use it.
The real good course that tell all, it’s all there infront your face, if you just read it and don’t use it, it won’t work, you have to take action and apply what you learn.
Very good advice in this post. this bit needs to be followed: “If you buy it make sure you are going to use it.” I have found that there is just not enough time to use many things that I already have.
Great advice, unfortunatly sometimes tha sales letters are to enticing and we get caught up in the moment. I’ve done it to. Your point about buying something if you know it will benefit you now is key. Make sure you use what you purchase and don’t let it sit on your hard drive and be forgotten
I think another great point to all new launches – you can evaluate their marketing strategy and since all big launches tout the results at the end – their effectiveness and implement it yourself when time comes
Would definitely have to agree with you Andre.
I too have a tendency to get caught up in the ‘moment’ and purchase something that I probably don’t need and will probably never use.
It really does need to be something that your will use right now and that will compliment your existing business.
It is far too easy to see that bright new shiny object and want to go for that and completely leave behind what you are already doing.
Thanks,
I’ve got a hard drive full of shiny objects, so many so most are forgotten. It’s an easy lesson to say, and to hear, but hard to fully implement. The folks writing copy for out industry are the best out there, and so many of us are desperate to make some quick money.
There are a lot of ways to make money online. The best strategy is to pick one and stick to it. Then at least you have a reason to not buy most of the stuff being offered.
Focusing on a given arena is clearly the answer. And no matter how hot an item may be, there will be another at least as hot tomorrow.
