Need suggestions on market research

By Saraswathi Pulluru on June 7, 2013 5 Comments / 2255 views

Hi Rodinhooders,

Need your expertise in helping me out. I have this business idea to :

a) Help authors get their word out by paid reviews, social broadcasting of the reviews

b) Help reviewers by giving rewards ( online coupons / credits to buy books) ..etc.

My landing page is here:

As of now, I did not do any concrete market research except for Google Search. Would like to know:

a) How to do market research for this idea

b) Is Google Adwords a good way to know market pulse regarding book reviews?

Many thanks in advance

Saraswathi

Hi Saraswathi

Liked your landing page. But unable to understand how it’s going to help me if I am a reader.

Facebook ads and google adwords both will do best for you …

you will get some coupons for reading and giving rating to a book

Hi Manish,

Glad you liked. For a reader, what I plan to do is this:

a) Give vouchers that can be redeemed online for e-commerce

b) Give them free e-books – for whatever ebooks they will review

c) Chance to participate in hangouts with book authors

Currently these are in my mind.

yes absolutely… doing some PPC would be quiet enough for you. If you have good budget then you might go for Google adwords and I recommend you to promote your book on forum and offer some discount coupon code to purchase. I think this trick is good to get some attraction from readers.
