Product Creation: Market Your Own Software
Promoting products as an affiliate is a great way to get started and many people go no further than marketing other people’s products. The downside is that when the products we are promoting are not ours there is a good chance that we do not get to add our leads to our email lists; also, because we are splitting our revenues with the product vendor we do not stand to earn as much as when the products we sell are our own.
To get the best from the skills we learn as affiliates we need to move up the food chain. We need to create and sell our own products.
We have already covered making info products (ebooks, videos, articles and membership sites) here is a very useful alternative, one that can be even more lucrative than info products and which can lead to a step change in the kind of business we run.
Here we have a training package that covers the design, creation and marketing of software products. These videos made by Steven Luc who has a successful track record in creating and selling software products will provide a step by step business system. In seven videos Steven will provide a solid grounding in the business of designing and selling your own software tools.
The first of the product creation training videos is free to all visitors to the site, the second requires a free registration to Marketers College and the next five are reserved for paid Marketers College members.

Once you know what the problem that you will address will be then you can create a simple solution. The simple solution is of course going to be your software. You’ll also learn, some simple research tactics that give you software ideas…in just a few minutes!

Fortunately, if you know how to write a ‘to do’ list, or even a shopping list, then creating software specifications is a pretty easy thing to do.
4. Planning Your Software
In this video we are going to turn the specification we made in the previous video into something that a programmer will understand. Don’t worry about being able to program; this is basically creating a step by step plan so that your programmer will be able create the software product that you envisaged.
In this video you will also learn what programming language is appropriate for the task, and whether your software should be a ‘web based’ or ‘Windows based’ package.

You might well ask “How can I own the rights to a software product that has already been created?” You would be surprised, there are many software packages out there like this, waiting for you to pick up the rights to them – more on that in this final video.
