  • - That's a very good question,

  • how do you find that right product market fit.

  • Especially maybe this is you first couple businesses

  • that you're just getting started.

  • Now the way I like to do it,

  • not the way that most people like to do it.

  • I don't actually focus on the product,

  • I focus on the market first, always.

  • To me market always comes first and product comes second.

  • I want to find out what are the needs in the marketplace

  • that are not being,

  • that's not being filled.

  • I want to see what problems are not being solved.

  • I always say that every problem is a product.

  • I want to find out where are people frustrated

  • about a certain thing.

  • Now of course if you want to create a new category,

  • you want to be a category king.

  • You want to be,

  • tap into a blue ocean.

  • That's something that no one's ever done.

  • That's perfectly fine if that's your goal,

  • but for my perspective,

  • most people simply don't have that abilities.

  • Most people they are too green.

  • It takes some skills to do that.

  • But if this is your first couple businesses,

  • you are much safer and wiser

  • just to see

  • what's out there right now.

  • What's already selling?

  • What are people already searching for.

  • And let's say if you are selling something online,

  • what are people searching for and already buying on Amazon?

  • What are people already buying from other e-commerce sites?

  • What are people buying in terms of keyword research?

  • What keywords are they typing into Google.

  • They can easily go to Google and then the keyword

  • tool then you can find out,

  • how much search volume are there,

  • are people actively looking for solutions

  • to solve their problems.

  • You see if you have identified

  • the needs and the demand already,

  • now you just need to think about,

  • "I wonder what product I could create

  • "to help them solve that particular problem."

  • Now you have minimized your risk.

  • Or if there's a huge marketplace out there

  • that's been created by other people,

  • a smarter entrepreneur would be thinking,

  • "How can I kind of ride that wave?

  • "How can I tap into that?"

  • Example,

  • instead of you trying to come up with the next thing

  • to maybe compete with Apple,

  • the next iPhone.

  • You're not Steve Jobs,

  • I'm not Steve Jobs.

  • Chances are that's not going to happen.

  • But you could probably have a very decent

  • business to sell iPhone cases.

  • You might have a very decent business to sell

  • maybe those protective shields that protects people's iPhone.

  • So you think about because of a company

  • created such a massive demand for this particular product.

  • What are some of the complimentary products

  • that you could sell, right?

  • It's like you think about in the ocean,

  • we have the big whale, right?

  • The big whale that's swimming in the ocean.

  • You're the little fish that attach yourself

  • to that big whale, right?

  • Just the leftover from the big whale alone,

  • you could have a very very successful

  • and profitable business.

  • Without a lot of the risks,

  • without guessing,

  • well I guess people want it,

  • I guess there might be demand for it.

  • No you know because this is,

  • this marketplace out there,

  • there's massive demand that's been created,

  • you've just got to tap into that.

  • That is a very very smart way.

  • I call that chicken entrepreneurship, right?

  • That you are like,

  • you're being a little chicken,

  • you're living afraid, you're being conservative.

  • Taking not stupid risk but calculated risk,

  • how can I use the least amount of money

  • by getting my business going, right?

  • Then from there once you have accumulated the capital,

  • once you kind of have some success under your belt,

  • then you can do bigger things.

  • Versus,

  • "I'm going to invent the next thing that's going to be

  • "the next iPhone, better than the iPhone!"

  • Well chances are you're not going to do that.

  • You're not Elon Musk, you're not Steve Jobs, right?

  • Let's just face it.

  • It's good to be realistic in that regard.

  • That would be my recommendation.

  • Any other marketing questions you have,

  • I always look forward to some good marketing questions.

  • Some say I'm one of the greatest marketers

  • on social media,

  • I don't know if I am,

  • but I definitely know a lot about marketing.

  • And a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners

  • come to me for marketing help.

  • So comment below,

  • if your question is good I will

  • from time to time pick a good question and answer them,

  • when I'm on the way doing something.

  • So until then,

  • I will see you in my next video.

- That's a very good question,
