TAKEAWAYS #1• Find a niche where you can be
the leading expert in the world
• Develop your content mission
• Focus on content type, platform
and deliver consistently
• Don’t build your house on rented land
• Build an audience of opt-in subscribers
• Need an amazing E-Newsletter
and remarkable download
• Diversify into media products that make
sense for your partners and audience
• Launch one at a time and be patient.
@JoePulizzi
TAKEAWAYS #2• With any new product, limited inventory is
key to pricing the offering high enough.
• Consider running your training like an
event.
• Small events are only good for marketing
big events ;)
• Break-a-part one piece of research so you
only have to do the research once.
• Start with one podcast offering and fully
integrate it into everything you offer.
Getting traffic is the key.
• At any one time you should have at least
two to three buying options you are
considering.
