How's this for a recipe that builds content while doing market research all at the same time, for a price that can't be beat?Ingredients
A how-to tip that represents your expertise
At least one other person, or as many as dozens, hundreds, or thousands
The desire to create salable products and services
A willingness to take action
Any location online or offline that's easy to casually talk with people
Process
Start a conversation with one person or a group of people with something like ""I was just thinking about ways to organize my desk. The idea of sorting one pile at a time came to mind. I wonder if there's better ways to do this." This represents your expertise as a professional organizer, for instance, who would suggest to a client that they start to organize their desk by sorting one pile at a time.
Ask the person/people you're with about what ideas they have that would work for them when it comes to organizing the piles on their desk.
Collect the ideas they offer into a dedicated file for "organizing your desk."
Do the same thing in asking the same person/people what it is that works best for them to learn new information. You can tell them you like listening to audio recordings or videos or reading articles or learning online or whichever format you want to put as an example.
Capture the responses. You will see certain formats repeating or that you have a wide range of formats. Either way, you are gathering valuable information to create your products and/or services.
Basic contentOther people have given you ideas you may not have considered on your own, ways that fit in with your expertise while expanding your point of view and experiences. They are giving you more content than you came up with from your own good mind, from their basic problem-solving point of view and experience. Unless someone tells you it's an idea they have legally protected, or it seems somewhat proprietary to you, it's yours to safely, appropriately, and ethically include in your information as coming from the realm of public domain. If you're not sure, here's an example. When someone says "take the large things out of a pile first so the pile shrinks down faster," there is nothing proprietary about that. However, when someone says "there are only 4 things you can do with paper: Toss, Refer, Act, or File, and a way to remember that is the acronym TRAF," that's proprietary. It is not something for you to include without attributing it to the person who created it, uses it, and legally protected it. Her name is Stephanie Winston, by the way.FormatsRemember you asked people what format they like best? Review that information to see what patterns you saw. If you saw booklets or books or videos or interaction with an instructor who is speaking or listening to audio recordings or printed copies or online files mentioned multiple times, those are guides for you in developing your products and/or services. Create and introduce these one at a time. That makes it easier for you, both time-wise and money-wise. It also provides you the opportunity to launch new products/services over time so the people who initially invested with you have new ways to invest with you once they learned the basics. As many have rightfully said, it's easier to sell to a prior/current buyer than to a new one.Look at how you gathered product content and did market research all at once, for the price of some time talking with people online, offline, or both, in ways that best suit your personality and your life requirements. And it all started from one tip and asking a few questions."Turn your tips into products and your tips products into moneymakers. ™"A� 20 1 2 Paulette Ensign
