Creating a digital product in sensory integration activities

Like most new ventures in business, you won't know until you try.

Competing sites are authority sites (autismspeaks.org), medical sites, and .edu papers.

When I think of a 'medical' niche - I think of professional education/experience being the 'background' for writing a book on the subject....and that sales of the book would dictate whether further course or webinar offers might be well received.

I would think it's a topic where branding yourself as an 'expert' would be crucial to sales...but I could be wrong.

Do you have training/degree/clinical experience in treating autism? Does giving advice without that education/experience violate any medical statutes? Don't know but worth checking.

The #1 market indicator you need to look at is the sale of YOUR book. Is it listed on Amazon?

Just because you cant find anything like what it is you want to sell, isn't always a bad thing. There are times you are simply ahead of the curve.

You have something going for you that a Dr. doesn't.. and that is PERSPECTIVE. You have the knowledge of lessons and activities that can be done at home with the aid of the parent. Enriching the parent child relationship with quality ( im sure not quality all the time LOL ) time together.

I would start with a site that helps in marketing the book. Introduce some add on material that parrallels the book, and introduce the optin from there. Maybe list an activity or 2.

Overall in basic terms you want to start branding yourself as an expert in the field. You have a BOOK that lends itself to trust. you have a partnership with a DR which lends itself to trust. I am assuming you have a child with these issues which means experience, this also lends itself to trust.

You stated that you are basically self educated on the matter... that means you have a resource of links and message boards IE you already have access to community. If your not already kinda active in these communities get more active. leave a link to your site, vs your book whenever and where ever you can. Let the site do its job and push to the book.

Most importantly.. have PATIENCE. you are not going to hit it out of the park tomorrow.. but dedication and long term tons of content - good guys always win!

Best of luck!

Hi, it's a good idea to help parents of autistic children learn how to help them improve their performance, you need to choose the right way and strategy to make your project known

Hi Eddie, a good idea is to use your book as the basis for your course. Your target market is parents with children on the autistic spectrum who perform poorly at school (their problem).
Your solution is a set of activities and exercises - designed to do what?
What is the tangible result/s for the children doing the exercises?
What is the tangible result/s for the parents?

Where do they start and what are the steps you move them through to get to the tangible result? - This must form a story line so that your client can see the progress.

Once you have defined this, you need to do market research and find your audience and talk to them - find out if they would pay to have the problem solved.
Even if you are a parent of such a child, you still need to find out if your specific solution (in other words, your online course) would be worth paying for.

Having done that, you need to register a domain and have a landing page and a lead magnet, like 3 Steps to 10x your child's performance and confidence. This is a free PDF, special report or video series for example that they would want and give their email address for.

After they get the report, you send them weekly emails to give them more info while you grow your list (you can start a podcast, video channel on youtube, create a FB Page and Group, FB ads) and drive traffic to your website/landing page.

When your list is at about 100 to 300, you do a program with them on your topics, but you do it in a way that they contribute to your course. So, and this is very important, you do NOT create your course and then sell it, you sell your course and then you create it.

Then you deliver your course and afterwards package and create a full-fledged product that people will buy over and over again. After this you will continue to grow your list and re-launch this beautiful product/course and sell hundreds of them.
The next round is a mastermind, membership site, Joint Venture launches where you form partnerships with complimentary niches, like nutrition for these children.

Main thing is, it is a process that you need to follow to have maximum success. Otherwise, you may not get off the ground.

Sounds like you have something special.
Does it make sense?

I think it is a good step you taken for parents with autist childs.it could help him to live a good life with confidence and morality

I never want to discourage anyone from taking action,, do your research and find your audience
and give it a try.

Go to adwords excuse me Google Ads and the social media sites and see what people are searching for in that market too see what you come up with.

For future reference before I create a product I try to locate my traffic/ audience first then I build around my traffic source and give the audience what they are looking for..

Some free references for research that I use

answerthepublic.com
Amazon
Google planner
Bing
Quora
Alexa
Quantcast
Reddit
over course see if there forums on your topic

I hope this is helpful

Why use all your energy trying to promote/create a product in a niche where there is less demand for it.

Instead create/promote products in niches that are already proven to make you $$$.

Such as;
Based on what I just told you, the big areas where most info products are sold are...

Topics relating to:
- Finances, Business, Making Money, Investing
- Health, Weight Loss, Beauty, Fertility, Sexual issues
- Dating, Marriage, Relationships, Sex

Under each of these categories, there are thousands of topics that you can work on and make a lot of money from.
