hello, i want to do some research before i start a new project. my first language is german. my idea is first to do online marketing in german language, and then if it should work market the same products in english. For that i will need someone whos first language is english. What do you think is it more difficult for example to sell ebooks about health, training, personal development to a german audience?? i have the impression that german people are somehow not open for it, and want anyway everythink for free. What do you think, what are your experiences with different volks thank english speaking people? thanks
Germany is a big market. It's sad that you have the impression that their people want everything for free. Just as @Bielefelder suggests, everyone wants things for free. You shouldn't let your impressions destroy your business opportunities. Health, training and personal development are things that people all over the world are interested in. You have knowledge in the German laguage and can market to the German audience. I can see no reason why your health and training ebooks would fail. You can offer the ebooks in their language, rather than them having to read in a foreign language.
Without actually trying it out, you will never know it's working or not. You have an advantage, being a native German speaker and promoting to Germany audience. I think it can definitely be done.
Indeed, that's a completely wrong mindset when starting a new business. If you think that no one is likely to buy your product, try to improve so much that you would be able to change your own opinion about it.
