Stephen Pierce Pre Work 1
How exciting!
In a couple of days time, I will be going for Unleash Your Marketing Genius (UYMG) by Stephen Pierce!
I have received a pre-work package with a list of homework to do. Pretty basic steps at the beginning, find a product, register a domain, host a domain, etc…
Since I do not know how much we receive from Stephen Pierce is meant to be kept to the participants of the seminar only. I will not be sharing the links and the material I get from them directly. If you are from the seminar, and you need some help, howdy buddy. Drop me an email, and I will try to help out where I can.
Looking at the stuff we have in the pdf, I am happy in a way because it is precisely all the things that I do not want to learn AT the seminar itself, because these are basic stuff. In fact, these are the things that I have been working on for a while. But I am a little disappointed in the organisation of materials so far. The pdf files and the links do not seem to tally.
The first link on the pdf points to a online video teaching a tutorial step 1. On the pdf, it is placed under Register a Domain, but on the page, the video teaches you how to find your first product. Very strange… The actual video tutorial that teaches registering of a domain is actually found on step 2.
There also seems to be some problem with the flash videos at that site. A little laggy even though judging from the progress bar, the whole video should have been downloaded.
Anyway, I will strive to follow the basic steps. From what I gather, the organizers want all the participants to :-
1) Using goodkeywords(gkw), do a simple keyword search to find a strong niche market.

2) Look for a niche product to market from their list of niches. (Handpicked by Pierce himself, what criteria I do not know yet…)
Link provided, which I will not share here. Instead, you can go to www.clickbank.com to find something that is in line with your research results from Step 1.
3) Register a domain name.
4) Get a host, and host that domain.
Also, from what I gather, the organizers will probably introduce all the other tools that will be necessary, like myspace, blogger, ebay, paypal. I see YouTube. Interesting… this is the niche that I will be focusing on for my own product, so that’s pretty cool.
OK. Now to see what they will do for all these areas. Though basic, every step requires a fair bit of work in order to be more efficient. For example, for Step 1, there are lots of other tools that provide so much more analysis. For example, an analysis of competition existing in the market you want to be a part of.
