Give the audience what they want, not what you think they need. We tend to want to help people by providing them with resources we know will be good for business, but we must remember that this is just from our standpoint. Instead, let your potential customers to tell you exactly what they want and then create products that meet these criteria. You can always take what they need as part of what you prepare. This is sort of like adding fresh fruit to your child’s lunch bag, you know what they need and combine it with what they want.

Focus on the benefits of what you are promoting, rather than features. I like to use the words the after each feature my product does when I write my sales copy. For example, if your product or course shows people how to invest their life savings how will that benefit your prospects? You may end up with This program will teach you how to invest your savings, so that your child’s college education will be paid before they finish high school  People buy the benefits of what you sell because it will improve an area of their lives.

Try some unique and unconventional marketing methods. If niches usually exclusively on the web, add some offline components that will get the attention of potential customers. Pick up the phone and talk to someone as soon as your order comes through. These techniques will set you apart from others in your niche. Think outside the box and see what works best in your niche.
