Or fall flat on your face...!
If you are able to become successful without starting out by selecting your market, then it is almost pure luck that you didn't fall flat on your face.
That really is how important it is to make this your absolute first step in creating your info product. Select your market first.

The Right Market
Equally important is the idea of selecting the "right" market.
Select a wrong market, and you're actually worse off that if you would have created an info product without first locating a market.
The right market is one that has buyers ... and lots of them! Find that group of people who are willing to spend money on something, and get a product to sell to them.

Hungry for information
The market you select to create your info product for must be hungry for information AND they must be willing to pay almost any price to get that information.By definition, a "market" is a group of people who come together for a common purpose. People by nature tend to belong to groups as they feel most comfortable associating with like minded people.
In order to achieve success with an info product online, you'll need to find the right group of like-minded people for your info product. In other words, those people who are buyers (not window shoppers) of information on a given topic.
Then, and only then, can you create a product tailored to their specific needs.
This will assure you of having people lining up to buy the information that you provide to them.
Supply / Demand
Marketers, especially Internet Marketers trying to sell you products, talk about 'hot' markets.Whatever you want to name it, it makes sense to target products and markets that have a heavy demand - lots of buyers. But that's not all, is it?
Keep an eye out for the other side of the marketing equation - the supply side.
Wading into a highly competitive marketplace is risky if you're starting your first business. Find a market which still has room for more competition (the supply/demand ratio is high) and where the market is large enough to be profitable.
In other words, pick a market where:
1). The buyers are willing AND able.2). The suppliers are not too great in number (Internet Marketing is inherently a tough niche to enter precisely because every one tries to sell marketing products)
3). The market is big enough to make a profit and expand in the future.
This is exactly what you can learn to by reading more lenses in the Squidoo Information Products Group.
The same concept applies whether you are creating an info product from scratch or using other people's products with resell rights to create your own... you must still do your research before creating the product.

Your own (fully stocked) Information Product Shopping Mall
I found out about something the other day called ClickBank Mall.In case you don't know, ClickBank is an affiliate network you join and earn between 50% and 75% on any purchases as a result of your promotions. And that high percentage means you're looking at probably between $15 and $35 per sale.
And now the easier way to make these sales (of products written by other people!) is not to list individual links in different places. It is to have a clever ClickBank Mall. A library for people to browse.
I'm loving it.

The one downside is this: maybe the price is a little high for you right now if you're just beginning your internet marketing career. It's set at $79.
It's worth checking it out, at least. For what you get, $79 is really cheap. But compared to what you might be earning online right now, $79 might seem expensive!
Actually, that's probably the best reason you have to get this thing. 2 or 3 sales and your money is back in your pocket. Go for it!
