168 How to create a product to sell (re-release)

I have some huge news to share with you this week, the publication of my book Bring Your Product Idea to Life: Your step-by-step guide to creating a product to sell. It’s all about how to create your own product, how to go from idea to having the products launched, and all the steps involved.I’m rereleasing this episode, which is all about how to create a product in 10 weeks, as I think it ties in really well with the content of the book. Now the book is not about creating a product in 10 weeks, it is about taking as long as you need to create your product. However, the steps involved and the things I talk about match up.When I first created a product I had no idea what I was doing, went down various rabbit holes on Youtube and wasted a lot of time and money. In this episode I share with you the process I subsequently used to create products which is a lot more efficient, and it is packed full of practical advice. EPISODE NOTESListen in to hear me share:My introduction  (00:28)Week 1 - Get clear on your product idea (01:45)Week 2 - Validate your product idea (04:07)Week 3 - Data gathering & thinking about pricing (10:42)Week 4 - Prepare your supply communication (14:29)Week 5 - Research credible suppliers (17:25)Week 6 - Tracking responses (20:52)Ordering samples (24:16)Week 7 - Shipping & logistics (26:40)Week 8 - Finances (29:02)Week 9 - Placing your order (31:23)Week 10 - Creating a marketing & launch plan (32:19)<br/>USEFUL RESOURCES:Buy My BookRead the accompanying blog postFree Product creation weekly planner & checklistFree Validate your product ideaPodcast: How (and why) to validate your product ideasPodcast: Should I source my product overseas?Podcast: Shipping & importing your productsPodcast: Where to sell your products onlineBook a Power Hour with meLET’S CONNECTJoin my free Facebook group for product makers and creatorsFind me on InstagramWork with me If you enjoy this podcast, an
