Ask them what they’re looking for in a product of the type you plan to introduce. When they complete that page, redirect them to an affiliate page. This whole prose will allow you to capture people’s information, do market research and monetize, which will offset or even pay for your advertising or maybe even be profitable.
You don’t need a product while you gather information and build a list. If you can some affiliate marketing with someone else’s product, you can do all these things without losing much money or even while earning money. You can also use more than one affiliate to test and see which one works best, and then model your own product to take advantage of the strengths of that offer. Then you can test your product against those affiliates.
