What Is The Digital Marketing Launchpad?

In a nutshell. The Digital Marketing Launchpad is a complete how-to guide to creating your own digital product. It includes step-by-step instructions for not only creating your digital product but the entire process from conception to realization.

What’s unique about this product is that it’s not one of those products that tell you to come up with a good idea, then go create a PDF or video. It actually walks you through the process of finding a niche (a targeted group of people needing a solution). Then takes you through the steps of identifying the need for a product, doing the research, and actually how to create the content for your digital product.

It also goes a step further in showing you how to promote what you have created.

What is The Digital Marketing Launchpad About? Let’s take a look at the details.

Identifying A Product

I think this is one area where the product shines. A lot of people who want to create their own digital products just don’t have a good understanding of how to out what it is their customer base wants. The Digital Marketing Launchpad addresses this upfront. They even include a video to get you started.

Dave and Heidi go over the entire process you need to undertake to identify your niche market. Then they walk you through the process of identifying the kinds of problems or issues your market faces. This forms the basis of what your digital product needs to address.

Creating Your Product

The process is easy to understand, concise and covers a great deal of detail for you to follow in order to lay out the groundwork for your product. They then walk you through researching the content for your product, documenting it, and how to find the core content (or solution) your digital product will provide to its customers.

Free Tools

As previously stated, the approach is focused on creating your digital product using free (or extremely cheap) tools.

These tools include:

• How to create a beautiful website using Wealthy Affiliate’s SiteRubix Website Builder.

I really like the level of detail and the focus they put on the expense side of things. This makes it great for newbies and those on a tight budget.

eBooks are probably one of the easiest digital products to create. They’ve been around for years and there’s no slowing down in sight for these easy to create masterpieces.

Dave and Heidi take you through the options of the various desktop software available for both Windows and MAC users. These include Open Office and Libre. Then there are also options available in the cloud such as Google Docs and Thinkfree

How To Create Audio Products

The recommendation here is to start off with Skype. Then use iFree Skype Recorder or Pamela for Skype is your on a PC. For MAC users, it’s the typical eCamm Call Recorder For Skype, although it’s only free as a 7-day trial.

One thing I thought was interesting, is that they address typical fears such as:

• I’ll forget what to say.

Introducing Teleprompters. Yes, they even address the use of teleprompters. A cool invention made originally for television, but now available to the public since the explosion of online video.

And to round it out, your favorite video editors. You can’t produce a digital product video with first editing it, adding effects, removing scenes, combining video, and so on.
