Product Creation Challenge, Product Launch & Google Hangouts – Weekly Check-In

Hey there gang! Checking in this week… it’s been a bit crazier than usual but a very exciting kinda crazy! You can check out the video (I did it using Google Hangouts), and then I’ve included text down below.

You know, I did the vlog last nite and I’m finally getting the post part done tonite so if you watch the video first, keep that in mind and it’ll make a LOT more sense!!

When I was doing the vlog, I didn’t even know what day it was. Technically it was already Tuesday.

I’ve been so wrapped up in learning new stuff about hangouts that it’s just been crazy hours… crazier than usual even.

I got my first Niche Research Packs done. I got the sales letter finished (finally)… I think… over at Niche Market Sites. I was running a 7-day sale but it looks like that went right out the window last night and, with all that I’m working on right now, I’m just going to leave it where it is right now until the weekend so that I don’t lose time on changing the prices and such.

I’ve actually sold a few already…  Not as many as I’d like but more than I had initially planned to which was zero. The goal was just to get a FIRST product completed and available!!

So it’s been good!

Anyway, I’m still working on this product creation challenge obviously. That’s why wanted to finish those niche research packs.

Now that they’re done, I’d started working on my next product. And then in the middle of one of our hangouts this past week (I’m doing some training in a Hangouts Mastermind group with Zane Miller), some of the folks that I’m working with in that group asked me about what kind of products I’m creating.

I mentioned what it was… and these guys have just rolled with it!

One of them, because he knows I do NOT want to go back onto a truck and that, in order to make sure that doesn’t happen, it’s gonna take some up front cash rather than long-term type business building… threw the gauntlet down.

He threw it down and said that I will be launching my product by this Friday, the 14th. So there it is! I’m launching product #2… THIS week… come hell or high water!

Am I worried about getting it done on time? Yes. Am I committed to having it done anyway in spite of the fear? Absolutely! No excuses, no giving up, no worrying about whether it’s perfect!

We decided yesterday in one of our hangouts that the best thing to do, since I’m forcing myself to have it done quickly, is to do more of a soft launch this week… The product’s gonna be done, the sales button’s gonna be up, and I’m gonna do a hangout that explains the product.

Then during the next week, I’ll work on setting up JV/Affiliate stuff… Swipe files, affiliate links and all that. I’ll get the product to my mastermind group and have them provide feedback and testimonials, tweak the product as needed, and make sure everything’s ready to go before an actual launch.

Of course I also have to figure out how all that part of the launch works with my affiliates so that they get this great awesome deal for themselves and any of their group members. Since it’s all so new to me, I just don’t know exactly how that’s all gonna work yet… but I’ll let you know as I go.

Like I said, the primary focus for me this past week or so has been hangouts, because when I saw what the possibilities are with using Google hangout a few weeks ago, I ABSOLUTELY new without a doubt that I had to figure all this out. And, I want to fast-track it because for ANY of my products that I roll out, for anything that I’m doing… or if YOU guys have products that you’re rolling out, we can certainly set up some hangouts and such.

They’re a great way to launch your products, a great way for your customers to get to know you, and a great way for you to get to know them…

And the SEO that’s automatic in the background…is just kicking tail!

So, I will keep you guys up to date on all that stuff as well.

Anyway, I knew it was time to come up for air, check in with everyone and let you know I’m still alive and kicking. Time to get back to work on my draft.

I’m checking emails, watching Sunday vlogs, and keeping up over on Tiff’s blog about what everyone’s doing too.

I’m just excited and working hard and I hope for all of you who are doing this product creation challenge, that you’re having as much fun as I am doing it, that things are coming together for you, whether it’s baby steps, huge steps or somebody just threw you off of the deep end like what they just did with me.

It doesn’t matter. Just keep moving forward… Do what you gotta do… cause it’s gonna be a lifestyle this year!
