Use today's launches to pick the buyer stage first. When you scan IM Launch Board / IMLaunchBoard and improductoftheday.com, do not start by asking which product has the loudest promise. Ask which buyer stage it fits. Most weak affiliate promos fail because the email talks to everyone at once: beginners, stuck implementers, active sellers, agencies, list owners, ecommerce people, course sellers, and tool buyers all get the same pitch. Use the boards as a sorting exercise. Open: - https://imlaunchboard.com/ - https://improductoftheday.com/ Then take 3-5 launches from today or the next few days and put each one into one buyer-stage bucket: 1. beginner: needs the first setup, first asset, first campaign, first list, or first sale 2. stuck implementer: already bought tools but has a bottleneck like content, traffic, email, pages, or follow-up 3. active seller: already has an offer, audience, product, service, or list and wants a better workflow 4. scaler: already has proof and wants more volume, better tracking, higher AOV, or cleaner operations 5. wrong fit: interesting product, but your audience is not at the right stage yet This works for AI tools, PLR packs, traffic systems, template bundles, list-building tools, video tools, ecommerce kits, agency assets, and affiliate automation offers. Quick pass: 1. Open IMLaunchBoard and IMPOTD. 2. Pick three launches that look relevant. 3. Write the buyer stage for each one before reading the commission details. 4. Write one line that starts with "This is for someone who already has..." 5. Write one line that starts with "Skip this if you still need..." 6. Promote only the offer where the stage is obvious. Simple promo shape: "This is not really for someone starting from zero. I would look at it if you already have ______ and the bottleneck is ______. I would skip it if you still need ______. The useful part is ______." Or: "This is a beginner-friendly one if your next step is ______. Do not buy it expecting ______. Use it for ______ first."
