Creating Your Own Product Quickly

Creating Your Own Product Quickly

I’m sure you have probably heard many times over that you need to have your own products in order to make serious money in internet marketing…and in many cases this is true, however the problem is that most people simply don’t have a great deal of time to invest in creating their own product.

There is good news…Creating a product doesn’t have to take months, years or be extremely difficult. Here’s a couple of examples of creating your own product quickly and with minimal effort.

* Create an Audio Product:

This is probably the quickest way of creating a product because it only takes the amount of time to create that it took you to record! Ok, so that’s probably not completely true because it’s likely you’ll have to re-record certain parts, but it really can be very quick. I know plenty of internet marketers who have created an audio product in less than a day and it has gone on to make them some serious money.

* Staying along these lines, you could do your audio product as an interview. The beauty of this is that you can enter a completely new niche that you know nothing about and end up with a quality product just by interviewing someone who IS knowledgeable about the subject. Make a transcript of the audio recording and you’ve got TWO products!

* Hold a webinar or teleseminar:

This is another good option for creating a product quickly. Again make sure you record it and you’ve got another product made in double quick time.

* Create a short report from some PLR articles:

Many PLR articles allow you to package them together as a product. Find 10 good articles on a particular subject and put them together in a single document to sell or give away as a short report. If you want to make your report really unique you would probably want to rewrite the articles and make them your own.

These are just some ideas, but as you can see creating your own product doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. Infact, I’ve just put together a report on this same topic :) “Creating Your Own Product in 5 Easy Steps” explains just how easy it is to write an ebook, the steps to take, and having your own product in a few hours.

Your Software Website – Product Review

Your Software Website – Product Review

I’ve had the chance to check out Your Software Website and for those of you that aren’t familiar with it, it’s really a “must see” – at least to check it out. It quite possibly may be THE business for you.

Dave Nicholson has just released this excellent product (Your Software Website) and it really is a super high quality, top end website that has a mountain of features.

Your Software Website really is one of the best made websites, that has been designed for the every day user, I have ever seen! Trust me when I tell you that this website is worth at least 10x the price that Dave is charging.

The possibilites that you can create from this site are endless because just about every single area in the site is editable from a awesomely designed admin panel, and the cash generating possibilites are outstanding.

Dave really has said to himself  “how can I generate the maximum possible cash for people” when he designed this site. He’s definitely thinking of us! There are cash generating links just about everywhere, but the best part is that is does not look like an ‘ad site’, it looks exactly like what it is, a fully stocked, fully linked software website that’s easy on the eye. The everyday visitors to this site will all be like kids in a candy store!

I really take my hat off to Dave Nicholson on this one, and I would very, very highly recommend it to absolutely anybody wanting an additional income online.

Here is a list of just some of the features:

# You get your our own admin panel so you can simply edit your site with a few clicks.

# You can change your header, sub-heading and footer text by simply adding text into a field in your admin panel.

# You can do basic SEO on your site by simply adding text into a field in your admin panel.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with over 30 sofware titles that you can re-sell.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with over 30 affiliate software links.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with over 20 website themes that you can simply change from your admin panel, with the click of a button.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with Google AdSense, editable from your admin panel.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with ClickBank Ad Rotator, editable from your admin panel.

# All of your links within your site are linked to YOUR ClickBank or YOUR PayDotcom ID’s from within your admin panel.

# Your website comes pre-loaded with an opt-in form, so you can build your list, also editable from your admin panel.

# All of your payments from the site are made to YOUR Paypal account, editable from the admin panel.

# You have the ability to add/remove categories from within your admin panel.

# You have the ability to add/remove/edit new software pages from within your admin panel.

# You have the ability to add/remove/edit many, many more areas from within your admin panel.

# The website and the admin area has been created with ’super simple’ controls, so you do not need any special knowledge at all, if you can click a mouse and type text, you have all the knowledge needed to fully setup your website.

And that’s not all…I have just negotiated a *special Deal* with Dave where you can get this awesome website with a massive discount, for a very short time only from this link, click right here! Pretty cool, right?

To your success…

Marketing with Candles, Electricity & Nuclear Fusion ??

So – Did the subject line make you wonder?

I thought it was a pretty good description of many people online today. An analogy of what people search for and spend money on…

And what I mean by that is that most people know that nuclear fusion would be the greatest source of energy we could hope for……

The only problem is that nobody has yet figured out how to make it work!

Lets be honest for a moment – So many sites and programs seem to be promising us results that could only be possible if we did infact understand nuclear physics, and if nuclear fusion was actually a reality!

You and I know it’s not – but that doesn’t stop many many people from continually searching and spending their cash on systems supposedly incorporating the latest in nuclear fusion technology. (hmmm)

So given that we know it doesn’t exist what then…Well we have to assume that standard electricity is the next best thing….. or is it?

Can I assume that you know how to change a light bulb?

Maybe even how to wire a plug?

But if I asked you to come over to my house and rewire the place to incorporate dimmer switches to all rooms, have the cable routed from the main room through to all the bedrooms with remote channel changing for each, maybe add some spotlights to the garden and a few spare sockets for extra entertainment devices both indoor and outdoor use…. and lets not forget the rest of the household appliances….well …..

I think at some point 95% of us would be shouting WHOA….

Sharply followed by a No Way – I’m not an electrician….I was nervous enough changing the light bulb!!

And who could blame us?

How are we really supposed to know what’s safe and how it all works?

To me that analogy is of the vast majority who know nuclear fusion doesn’t exist, but who are struggling along with SEO, website guilding, html, php, social networking etc…

The list really goes on and on….

Hey I’m sure some people are qualified electricians, and others are qualified at all the things needed to succeed on the web.

But if we’re still being honest – 95% of people are still be struggling aren’t they?

They’re more like a new boyscout wondering how many matches he had left to light the rain soaked twigs of his campfire, eventually running out of matches and crying to go home!

So what’s the solution?

Well I think it’s Candles.

Who doesn’t know how to light a Candle?

And once you do light them – they just keep burning, don’t they…

OK – I know what you’re thinking …. How much energy are we going to get from One Candle? … nothing like the others are aiming for right?

The point is – we can all light a candle.

BUT WHAT IF ………

What if there was a way to light 10 or 50 or 100 candles? What if someone with a system could show you how to get 1000 candles lit and burning at the same time?……

Okay, enough….. you must be tiring of the analogies by now.

The point I am getting to is to STOP searching for the systems that will never exist or only exist for the select few…

……and grab with both hands a simple yet effective system that will provide as much income if not more than some of it’s higher priced and sophisticated counterparts.

http://adtrack.trafficwave.net/t.pl/35276/183754

And one such system is to follow the ‘Step by Step’ methods that John Thornhill uses on a daily basis. He knows nothing about nuclear fusion, and I think he gets his wife to change the light bulbs in his house…..

But he does have a package that has and is making him a full time living online. He uses ebay’s traffic to drive visitors to his websites and build his lists, allowing him to profit wildly from affiliate marketing and product creation.

http://adtrack.trafficwave.net/t.pl/35276/183754

Yet he does it all so simply and easily by automating many many aspects of his business. The proof of keeping things simple yet effective can be seen on his site – where he happily shows his powerseller feedback scores (how many who make big claims are actually prepared to do that?)

If you can see the value of having 1000’s of simple candles, all burning automatically, you light them at your will (and they are those ones that never burn out!!)….

What I mean is – John will not only show you Step By Step – but will also give you every product he sells on ebay, the templates, the tools, the whole system…….broken down into easily managed chunks – so you can set it all up on Auto Pilot at your own pace.

http://adtrack.trafficwave.net/t.pl/35276/183754

Then provide ongoing support and a members forum to help you along the way, all while keeping you updated with new products monthly and any new techniques he finds effective….

So if you’re really looking for something that is as simple as lighting a candle and following some step by step instructions – from someone who has already helped thousands just like you…..

Then I believe you are going to love the help and support you’ll get with John’s package. It’s working for me!

This is your chance to have your own business, a business you own and operate, you profit from, you succeed with….. the major difference is this…

……. You’ll be in business ~~ FOR Yourself but NOT BY Yourself! ~~

So take a look at what John will do to help you get to where you want to be.

http://adtrack.trafficwave.net/t.pl/35276/183754

And while you’re reading every word of what he piles into the package – do give a thought to whether you want to keep searching for nuclear fusion tactics that don’t exist, or years training to become a qualified expert with all that “electrickery” stuff —

Or whether you’d find it easier to just keep Lighting Candles for a hour or so a day that will lead to the full time income you know would like to get sooner rather than later!

Remember – Once lit, your candles will keep burning, just as soon as you get John’s package set up, your income will just keep growing!

15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List

15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List

Email marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you are selling. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and it helps build credibility with your subscribers. As a result, you can generate more sales and profits.

The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, responsive and permission-based email list. If you have a list of subscribers that trust you and consider you an expert, you’ve completed the first step and are on your way!

Below you will several list-building ideas that will help you make the most of your email marketing efforts:

*Provide useful, relevant and unique content. Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be useful to your subscribers.

*Add a subscription form to every page of your website. Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If appropriate, you can also include it in more than one place. For instance, your opt-in form might always appear in the top-left corner of your site, while you also include an opt-in at the bottom of some of your popular posts.

*Make it easy for your reader to sign up. The more information you request, the fewer people will opt-in. In most cases, a name and an email address should be enough. If it’s not necessary, don’t include it here.

*Publish a Privacy Policy. Let your readers know that they can be confident you will not share their information with others. The easiest way to do this is to set up a Privacy Policy web page and provide the link to it below your opt-in form. (wow, this is something I’ve been meaning to do…)

*Show your first issue or other sample to your visitors. This lets potential subscribers review your newsletter before they sign up to determine if it is something they’d be interested in.

*Archive past newsletter issues. A “library” of past newsletters is both appealing and useful to visitors and builds your credibility as an authority. (Also, if your articles are written with good SEO techniques in mind, they can send additional traffic to your web site through good search engine positioning).

*Contact other newsletter publishers. Introduce yourself and explore ways you may be able to help each other. Perhaps you can introduce other publisher’s newsletters or print articles they have written to your list, with a link to sign up. When you contact them, be sure to tell them why you think THEIR readers would like what you have to offer and why YOUR readers would benefit from their newsletters. This is a win-win scenario; both of you will build your lists faster!

*Give away bonuses subscribers can use. Create an opt-in bonus for joining your subscriber list. You can write an ebook or PDF report, or even hire a programmer to create downloadable or web-based software. But don’t limit yourself to only a gift for new opt-ins. Remind your readers that the next bonus is coming soon. People hate to miss out on things. If you systematically pass on “goodies” throughout the year, your subscribers are unlikely to leave.

*Ask your subscribers to pass it on. Word of mouth is a powerful viral technique that works great with email marketing. If your subscribers find the content you share with them to be informative, they will pass your newsletter on to their friends. This can be a good source of new subscribers.

*Let others reprint your newsletter as long as the content is not modified. Many webmasters and newsletter publishers are actively looking for high-quality content and, if they reprint your newsletter, you will get new subscribers, traffic and links pointing to your site.

*Include a “Sign Up” button in the newsletter. If you are using plain text instead of HTML, provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint it online. You want to make it easy for them to subscribe.

*Add a squeeze page. A squeeze page has one goal – to get an opt-in and build your list. Think of it like a mini-sales letter for your subscription or opt-in bonus. It features a powerful headline and a couple of very important benefits that should make subscribers want to sign up to your list.

*Include testimonials on your squeeze page. This can be important. Put 1 or 2 strong testimonials from satisfied subscribers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video social proof) is more “believable”. To increase that believability, include full names, locations and/or urls; don’t use “Brian K, FL” as a testimonial name.

*Blog religiously. Blogging is a great way to communicate with your potential customers, and it creates a nice flow with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign-up form on each page of your blog. You can start a free blog at Blogger or Wordpress.

*Post on other blogs. Post great comments and information on similar blogs with a link to your squeeze or opt-in page. Also comment on others’ blogs through trackbacks. In most cases, your comments will be posted on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is an easy way to generate new traffic and subscribers. You can actually download a copy of my Blog Warrior software, which makes finding blogs in your niche, commenting, and building links a whole lot easier (for free for a limited time) right here.

One last point, you will most definitely need an autoresponder service to automate the signing up process, the newsletter delivery, subscriber management, etc… It’s impossible to be online marketing today without the use of autoresponders. Three of the top autoresponder services that I like are Aweber, Trafficwave, and GetResponse. They are all quite reasonably priced and I feel each provides topnotch support. If you know me, though, you’ll know which one I use the most and actually prefer ;)

Now go ahead…get to building your subscriber list :)

Why Should You Produce Your Own eBook? Top 10 Reasons

Would you like a way to stand head-and-shoulders over your competitors? One of the best ways to stand out among the sea of competitors is to be seen as an expert in your field.

One of the least expensive and easiest ways to achieve expert status is to write a book. No, I don’t mean finding a publisher and writing a book to be physically published! After all, you don’t want to wait years for something to hit the book store. If you want to establish yourself – and make money – in the easiest way possible, consider writing an ebook.

While this article talks about ebooks, the same benefits pertain to other types of information products. For example:

Reports, Manuals, Tutorials, Instructions, Article Collections, Courses, Swipe Files, Journals, etc…

And it’s seriously not as hard or time consuming as one would think. You could even use a resell rights or private label rights product to get you started. For some great resell rights and plr content, visit here.

Here are my ten reasons you should consider producing ebooks:

Lead generation. Imagine that you are about to list your house for sale and you are searching for a listing agent. One web site offers a report entitled, “How to Sell Your House for Top Dollar in Under a Month”. Wow! That would be great information to have. In exchange, you only need to fill out a short form and include your contact information. After you submit it, you’ll receive the report. This is a targeted lead which was almost free to obtain. The only cost is any promotion cost to bring you to the site.

Automatic Distribution 24/7. Your “salesman” sells and delivers your ebook around the clock. And, since it is delivered over the Internet, you can sell worldwide with no worries about the cost or time of delivery.

Easy to Update. If your industry or company changes frequently, printed material becomes obsolete quickly. When you provide information through an ebook, it’s easy and inexpensive to send updates to your customers. That’s a definite advantage for your customers – and your bottom line.

Search Within the eBook. If you are providing a long document, like technical instructions or a large book, your ebook allows people to search within the document and easily find a particular word or phrase. This adds extra value.

Hot Link to Affiliate Accounts or Other Web Sites
. Your ebook allows you to create hot/live links, so your readers are automatically sent to your web pages or affiliate products through your web link. By adding them within the ebook, you’ll have more people visiting – and buying – on those sites.

Submit to Ebook Directories and Download Sites. Another way to build your list is to write an ebook and submit to numerous ebook directories. Again, with your website links Within the ebook, readers will visit your web site and sign up for your bonus, etc…

Brand Your Ebook and Make it Viral. If you operate an affiliate program, you can use your affiliates to promote it as well. Viral marketing is a great word-of-mouth way to promote a business that can snowball and take on a life of its own. It works especially well if your free ebook uncovers a problem and your web site (or the product linked from your ebook) solves it!

Make Money. Once you’ve created your ebook, get it listed for sale. You can even take it further and sign up at sites like Clickbank, which is a great place to acquire new affiliates to market your products for you.

Use as a Bonus. If you created an ebook for sale, you can develop 1-3 additional books on the same or complementary subject, and add them to the sales letter as bonuses. Some people buy a product for the bonuses over the primary product… so bonuses get attention!

First Step in the Sales Funnel. If you’ve ever had sales training, you‘ve probably learned about the sales funnel. Prospects become customers usually by buying a low-cost, valuable product that over-delivers. They are then “stepped” through the funnel with ever-increasing price points.

An ebook is an excellent way to start people on your sales funnel. Plan this out on paper and develop your first 2-3 products at least, before selling your first ebook, so you are prepared.

Discover how to create your own profits source ebook using this software, making publishing your ebook a couple clicks away!

Good luck!!
