Description
Got a great question from a listener about how to test that a product could do well before you enter the market… What's going on everyone? This is Steve Larsen and you're listening to a special episode of "Sales Funnel Radio." Welcome to "Sales Funnel Radio" where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels. Now, here's your host Steve Larsen. All right, guys. Hey, I am stoked about today, so, periodically ... wasn't as frequently as of late but recently I actually have been going through and I listen to a lot of the questions people are submitting on salesfunnelradio.com. If you don't know what I'm talking about, if you go to salesfunnelradio.com and scroll down kind of at the bottom right there, there's a green button, and if you click that you can record a question to me straight off of your browser, an actual audio file. It emails that over to me and I go and I kind of vet through them to see which ones would apply most kind of the group. Then, I can toss them out here. So, anyways, we've got one of those today though. This is to a guy named Matt who has a special skill at the Rubik's Cube. So, anyways, I'm gonna play the question here because there's a lot of elements to this and I wanna make sure that everybody understands clearly how awesome of a position Matt is actually in this. But, I don't think he knows that. Hey Steve, it's Matt here, hope you're well, dude. I've got a question I was hoping you could help me with. I've got an idea for a product or a company, which is teaching people how to solve the Rubik's Cube, but I don't want to be known as the Rubik's Cube guy or the puzzle guy. Is it silly to think like that? Also, how do I know if it's a product that people actually want before I finally pull the trigger and get something out there? It's yours, dude. Hey, Matt, thanks so much for the question. When I heard that, I think my eyes rolled back in my head and I was like, oh, yeah, this is the question. I love this question. Great, great question. First off, just know that you guys can make a course off of anything. No joke. And it doesn't need to be ... if you got a special skill, whatever it is ... it's funny, because reading the book, like Expert Secrets, I think sometimes people might think that you've gotta be some highfalutin suit and tie-wearing briefcase-carrying expert and that's actually not true at all. I don't know if you've seen funnelhackinglive.com. Yeah, "Funnel Hacking Live 2016" there was a guy, I cannot remember his name, but he's known as the Jump Guy, and he literally teaches people how to jump, no joke. They travel the world. He and his wife, his kids, at the time had not had a home in like five years or something like that, huge amount. Because they liked to go travel around and they live like kings and he literally teaches people how to jump. That's what he does. And he's taken that on, he's like yeah, he's the Jump Guy. So, basketball players, athletes, whoever, if they want to learn how to jump higher he teaches them how to do that. There's a little course that he sells on it. I'm trying to tease as many names, hopefully they're okay with me sharing these stories ... there's a lady at one of the first FAT events we ever did, the "Funnel Hackathon Event," and she was there. She was sitting kind of in the back left. I remember where she was sitting, as we were teaching, and I was on stage there and we're sharing those different strategies and stuff, she goes off and she makes like $1.3 million on like a $27 product. It hasn't even been a year. It's been like eight months, six months, something like that. I'm not good with months. I always, always have to say the months in order by name to figure out what they are. Anyway, so that's the whole point, though. It doesn't necessarily need to be expensive, although you certainly will ... how many $27 products do you need to sell to make a dent in your wallet? Quite a few, which is
