I'm just wondering cos I hear people saying how they want to design their own product in like say the FX niche. Aren't these semi complex algorithmic programs which require a lot of coding and such? Is this where partnerships come from then? The marketing guy (from these forums) gets in touch with some technical guy and says I'll make the page, you make the product?
Those forex bots are not that difficult. Most are Metatrader code. You just need someone who knows how to code for Metatrader and then describe to him your strategy. He will build the bot. No need to code in VB or C# or anything like that.
Either know what you are doing or outsource. Most programs are not nearly as difficult as you think so it will take experienced coders very little amount of time. It is really not that expensive to have someone code something for you if you know exactly what you want.
Well, it depends on the product you want to create and your knowledge. If you are a good programmer and know stuff about forex, then you might be able to make your own robot. If you want a simple ebook and know how to use MS Word (lol), then you can do that yourself too.... As wowhaxor said, either do it yourself or outsource, if you don't know how.
It's not as simple as one 1 2 3 ok we are done. It takes a lot of market research, development, testing, refining, and promotion. There are some good books out there to guide you through the process, I will look through my cabinets for a recommendation, I majored in product development during college.
For a successful CB product, the sales page needs to be very good. The actual product quality comes next. Identify a niche, then buy a book for that from anywhere, get it rewritten by a good writer and you're done. There are various networks other than cb where hundreds of ebooks are on sale. You just have to pick one which suits your niche and use it to create your own ebook (remember not to copy anything)
