(I digress for the day to talk a little bit about a product.  I thought it required some attention since I have gotten 3 emails about it and personally, the product got me thinking a little bit…)

I have gotten a few emails over the past couple of weeks from Jeff Walker (you know, the Product Launch Formula guy).

Over the years, in fact, I have been both a good client as well as an affiliate for his PLF product (and I still think it is one of the best on the market).

Now he is opening up a whole dimension of his Product Launch Formula, and this surrounds a program training for you to become a Product Launch manager for other people.

So what’s the deal and should you even consider this…

My concerns first:

- This is not going to be cheap. I don’t know the cost yet but I assume it will be at least a few thousand dollars.

- You are being trained to do a job. I hate that word “job”, too.

- This is about management, networking and finding clients.

OK, I admit that all three of these cause me to scratch my head a little bit. But let’s focus on why this may be good for you…

- It may not be cheap, but this will be intense formal training including some on-site instruction (not just “videos”). When you think about it, it is not much different than any other formal training course you may take through your own job.

- The Product Launch Formula itself is $2000 alone. Here, you will learn all of that, but in much more detail. This training would even be good for doing your own product launch (if you don’t want to do this for others).

- Managing product launches is big business on the internet.

Have you been to Affiliate Summit before? If you have, you p noticed the place is littered with highly sought after “OPM”s (no, this does not stand for “Other People’s Money”, rather, “Open Project Managers”).

I have personally sought out OPM’s in the past and many want a base of $5k-$10k/month plus a 10-25% cut of the earnings.

That is pretty steep. But if your a good OPM (a.k.a., Product Launch Manager), it is a damn good living.

- Yes, managing, networking and finding clients can seem awful, but then again: That is what internet marketing is whether you do it for yourself or others. (And doing it for others is a lot less

risky!)

I do know many OPM’s who started as managers just to understand the business and to meet the people. They later went on to be highly successful in creating, managing and promoting their own product!

Me personally, I would be interested in the training alone (for my own stuff). I’m not in the business any more in working for others. In fact, my goal is to start finding OPM’s to work for me. But I’m in a different position now. Ask me 3 years ago, and I would heavily consider an opportunity like this.

So those are my two cents.

If you want to know a bit more about what Jeff Walker is doing, you can go and watch this video of his at:

Product Launch Training Video

The first and main video does not require any opt-in, but there are a few other videos he is offering if you wish to see more.

The main, fr’ee’ video is pretty interesting, though.
