When it comes to creating an info-product, there are 2 kinds of tactics to choose from. It's either you be creative or innovative. Creative means, you observe the market and come up with a good solution.

In effect, it is coming up with an info-product that will solve an existing need. For Example, if you see that there are a lot of individuals having a need to write a salesletter, you come up with a salesletter generator software.

Or let's say, if you know that a number of people are trying to set up their joint venture's details, you can put up a joint venture profile software. Essentially, you'll be the first individual to hit in the market. Make sense?
But if you want to lower your risk of failure and make money faster, I'll opt to be an innovator. Observe the existing products available to fulfill the demand of a market. Check how good the sales volume is. Then, I'll be an innovator to present better solution or tap on the existing opportunity.

Not sure what this means?

Let me explain ...

One may have realized that there are many sales letter generator in the market, this is because of the innovative marketers that are making them. PayDotCom, a somewhat new company, is an additional example of an innovator market that provides the same service as Clickbank.com

It was created successfully after the creative company called Clickbank.com. Clickbank.com was the first website that provides credit card processing service with built-in affiliate tracking program for internet marketers to use. At the moment, there are more innovative marketers that have produced an affiliate tracking tool that can be included with other credit card processors like Paypal.com, 2checkout, authorize.net, and the like.

Innovative marketing is not just about duplicating what is successful and trying to be better, larger or less expensive. That's a very narrow observation on how to make money and it will normally fail. You will alter the entire profit model by adding these 2 ingredients which are as follows:

1. Looking for an angle

Finding an angle means positioning yourself unique from the pioneer. For Instance, Clickbank.com is a success. But other affiliate tracking tools that did not have a built-in credit card processor were very successful as well by tying up with third party credit card company. A good example of this, is again, PayDotCom.

2. Complimenting with the pioneer

Offer an info-product that can ride on the existing successful market. Let's take Clickbank.com as an example for discussion purpose. To improve the convenience of using Clickbank, lots of new tools were created.
Examples are: Software to handle your Clickbank.com affiliates; Software to extract your Clickbank sales report into a Microsoft Excel file; Software to make Clickbank.com search engine tool that is integrated with Clickbank ID;Video tutorials on how to put-up Clickbank.com account; and so much more.

Check out what's happening on the internet.Make a decision if you want to become a creative or innovative marketer. Then, ACT NOW!
