one huge mistake you make when creating a product
Manage episode 456353238 series 3601278
You've got an amazing product idea — but are you keeping it a secret until launch day? In this episode, Liz Wilcox — the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing — reveals the biggest mistake creators make when developing new products: not sharing the creative process with their audience. Liz walks through why sharing the behind-the-scenes journey builds excitement, trust, and sales — and how you can start doing it right now.
Episode HighlightsThe most common mistake: working "quietly behind the scenes" instead of involving your audience.
Why sharing your creative process leads to stronger connections and more sales.
The Disney approach: how showing behind-the-scenes content builds anticipation (just like Princess and the Frog).
Real-life example: Liz's first digital course, Fix It Yourself: RV Maintenance for Beginners.
How she used her email list to co-create the course step-by-step:
Asking if subscribers were interested.
Getting feedback on the module list.
Asking for camera recommendations.
Involving her audience in launch timing.
The result: 141 people said "yes" — and 141 people bought.
How to build your own pre-launch sequence using these same principles.
Don't create in silence: Bring your audience into your creative process early and often.
Ask for feedback: Use email to crowdsource ideas and make your product even better.
Show your work: Sharing updates builds excitement, accountability, and community.
Engagement leads to sales: Involvement turns interest into investment.
Think like Disney: Behind-the-scenes storytelling creates anticipation and connection.
