Post #26: Money, Marketing, and Fun!
Not wanting to spend time marketing your product but wanting to make money from it is something a lot of people are after. This puzzles me as I see two sides to this situation. It seems like someone wants to make money but doesn’t want to spend time working on setting up the money stream.
People must understand that as fun as creating a product may be, it does nothing for you unless others get it. The way to get folks to get your product is to let them know about it. Letting them know about it requires MARKETING!
Now, I know it may take a lot of work marketing anything, but once that marketing is done, it’s done. With the internet being so viral, your marketing stays out there for a long time (especially if you market with articles). AND, once you develop a following, your followers will market for you as well.
As a matter of fact, a lot of your followers will become affiliates, which means they will be marketing your stuff for you as well. You don’t have to rely on yourself to do so, but it’s always good to stary active in the marketing department.
In a very counter intuitive way, the more popular you get and the more money you make, the less marketing you may have to do. Sometimes this stuff is really strange…..but oh so fun!
