When you are creating an email list, There is only 1 way that can help you Create Content your'e subscribers will be eager to open Create or Promote Products that they will be eager to buy Ask What They Want! Give them a place to ask questions or provide you with feedback on what they'd like included in your publication (or what they'd like to see removed). This is a very simple but powerful way to get ideas on what to send out to your list -- and find or create products they will be willing to buy.
That is a good advice. In order to succeed in this business is by asking our customers what they want. If we do not ask, we will never know.
This is actually an excellent business model. I have heard this suggested by a couple of high-level marketers. While I do think that it will increase the chances of a successful product, I am not certain that it will guarantee that a product is 100% successful. A lot depends upon the product.
But you will never know what your customer's really want until, they tell you. You can guess, but it's hard to be sure. So yup, i ask my customer's before i choose which products to launch. It gives me the right knowledge to launch a product that is needed, thus it improves sales.
Asking what potential prospects and customers want (content, products, services) is actually a great idea! Effective way to enrich lives and be supportive, helpful and open!
And correction. Nothing is 100% guaranteed. You can only be more confident that your subscribers will purchase your product because you are selling them something they need. It just means that chances are higher, not 100% guaranteed. So please be careful when you use 100% kind of stuff.
