Product creation is one area where I really think I am qualified to talk – you see, I have only been online about months – so although I have made meteoric advances in things like list building – I have about 6500 active subscribers now, and in article marketing – I get around 500 visitors per day to my site – I am really just beginning.

But I think I can talk about product creation, because I have created 7 products so far, and am in the process of creating several more – I have two half – finished books and two more in my mind.

So how do I do it? How have I created 7 products in 8 months – and hopefully when it has been 11 months, I will have 11 products?

One of the most important things is time management.

You see, I have seen that it is easy to get online, looking for good information in the search engines, and two hours later you are still surfing. Sure, you may call it work, but is it really productive? I doubt not. Same thing with emails – I get between 500 and 1000 emails per day – I simply cannot open them all.

When I am writing, I will often just turn off all my internet, so that I don’t even know an email is arriving – I cannot answer all my emails while I am writing and still type at 50 WPM.

Also, I am willing to work long days. I work from 8-5 Monday through Friday, and a lot of that time is spent writing. Many days I write more than 5000 words per day. Some days when I am anxious to finish a book I will work from 8 in the morning until 10 at night – barely answering the phone. But I have written as many as 15,000 words in one day.

Of course, in addition to writing my ebooks, I write articles like these – I like to get to 20 articles per day, but as you can see from my logs, I do not do that many most days. But article marketing has been my number one source of long term revenue online – it is how I sell my books and products I have created – so I keep doing it – it is like the fuel for my car.

For many of us, the Internet is a mecca of free things. From free MP3 downloads to free ring tones to free porn to free screensavers. “Free” is a favorite word of Internet users who readily combine it with just about anything. Free anything is the motto, it seems.

No doubt the Internet is democratizing everything, and astrology is no exception here.

Enter online horoscopes, the unlikely but exciting intersection between technology and astrology.

When was the last time you checked your horoscopes?

Did you find yourself nodding? Did you wish to go the other way, and in effect prove your horoscope wrong? Or perhaps you can’t help but wonder how it is that a few lines of general-sounding prescriptions and cautions can be so predictive. And tempting.

Horoscopes’ appeal to people is not just because they are free, that they are widely available in dailies and magazines and on the Net too. Nuggets of advice just waiting for us to look into them. And we, well, we are inquisitive creatures, forever curious about the future, not just ours, but other’s as well—our loved ones’ perhaps, friends’, enemies’, anyone we come in contact with. We just have to take a peek.

Horoscopes offer us a neat capsule of our fate. They’re there, for free, and there is certainly is no harm in consulting them, so much the better if things turn out well because of them.

Free Horoscopes You Share with Everyone Else

But free horoscopes aren’t always the best. Daily horoscopes found at the newspapers and in the Internet may be free, but unfortunately this virtue is also their weaknesses. The price people pay in getting free horoscopes is the fact that they share the same predictions with everyone else who shares their star sign.

The principle of Barnum Effect operates in this scenario. Quite bluntly, the Barnum Effect states that “there is a sucker born every minute.” In the realm of astrology, this means people can be so gullible as to believe that their horoscope for the day applies to them perfectly, even if virtually anyone can claim that.

Daily horoscopes, in fact, are deliberately prepared by astrologers to make them apply to almost anyone, so that it serves as sneak previews for the day. Of course, the astrologer doesn’t sacrifice the quality of divination.

For more accurate horoscopes though, the astrologer needs to study and calculate alignments of the stars and planets, birth date and location, cusps, aspects, patterns, and relationships with other signs in the Zodiac.

Needless to say, these crucial factors are all absent in the generic horoscopes we get for free in newspapers. Truly predictive horoscopes then are those that are personalised and tailor-fitted to individuals, carefully prepared by a credible astrologer. They may come with a price, but it is a price always worth it.

Everybody likes the idea of earning money of doing nothing - but most people don’t realize that you don’t need a real estate empire or interest off millions in your bank account to do that. Internet makes it possible to sell unlimited copies of your product at no extra cost per copy. Residual income opportunities are easily available online, and this article will show you how to take advantage of them using information products.

An information product is usually just an e-book teaching people something interesting and valuable. You can sell such e-books for anywhere between $17 and $97 depending on the quality and value of the content. Once you have set up a site where your e-book is sold, you can sit back and relax as the product will now sell itself. This is how information products turn into residual income opportunities online.

An important part of expanding your residual income opportunities is to become an affiliate vendor with sites such as Clickbank and Payloadz. This lets affiliates promote your product for you, so you don’t have to worry about marketing it to the masses. A good affiliate program for your product is the key to harnessing the power of residual income opportunities on the Internet.

Creating a product also helps you gain access to other residual income opportunities, such as list building. Every time you sell a product, you should offer the customer to join your mailing list. As your list grows bigger, you will be able to promote products to them and earn money simply by sending out e-mails. Nothing beats making $2,000 just by pressing a mouse button!

Your e-books can also help you promote other products. For example, if you have a product that is somehow related to the topic of your e-book, you can include a link to it in your e-book. If the reader likes your content, they will consider buying another of your products. You can also include affiliate links into your e-book to earn some affiliate commissions. Ultimately, a single product can create three streams of income for you - revenue from the sale, revenue from other sales and affiliate revenue. In this way, you are really able to put residual income opportunities to maximum use.

Developing a product to create residual income opportunities is not difficult. We are all experts in something, so all you need to do is identify what you are good at, determine if there is market demand for your knowledge and create an e-book.

As an Internet entreprenuer, what is your goal?

Is it really money? Yes money is very important. Is it fame? Yes that can be important, but is not a defining factor in success.

What is the point of being an entrepreneur anyway? It’s freedom. After all, you don’t want to work that 9-5, wasting the other 16 hours of your time earning no money, being told when to wake up, when to have your lunch breaks, when to go home, and when you have to work over-time.

This means your goal is have more free time, and earn more money. Not work harder, and earn more money.

Worker’s goal = Work more, earn more

Entrepreneur’s goal = Work less, earn more

See the difference?

Now, as an Internet entrepreneur, one of your main tasks is always to find information. After all, on the Internet, content is all that matters.

But where do you spend your time? If you spend 80% of your time on creating content, that means you only have 20% left for marketing activities. You want to do the opposite - 80% for marketing, 20% for creating content. This will make you more money.

Now, one way to create content is to hire a ghostwriter. That can be expensive. Especially if you create information products.

A faster way is to simply collect articles from your niche, and rewrite 80% of it. Nobody can stop you legally, as long as you change the main whole of the article.

Hey, this is better than writing the article from scratch right? This is a high leverage method of using other people’s knowledge to your own advantage.

The best way is to subscribe to Private Label membership site. These sites will provide you Private Label articles which you can use in any way you like. You can rewrite these articles too, or you can use what is called a Content Spinner to spin your articles so they are unique.

The third way is to leverage Public Domain information. These works are free for you to use? Segments these Public Domain information into articles, books, or even create audio content out of them.

Those are three fast ways to create content!

There are many methods of creating content on the fly for your information product. Most of them are great and very effective, but there is one method that is often not discussed, and it’s a wild one.

I’m sure everyone has posted on forums or message boards before. These are places where every discussion about every niche you want to know is available. To put it simply, these places are information goldmines!

The Search button is your friend here. Go to all popular forums on your niche, go to the search facility and use these power root words to help you find problems in your niche, and then the content:

problem
help
solution
how to
learn
want
need
learn

You will find posts like ”How do I solve this ________ problem?”
”I need to learn how to ________”
”A solution to__________”

This is a tactic you can use on the search engines as well. With this, you can find content that is created by experts (you have to use your finely-honed judgment and visit quality forums) As an example, there are many forums in the Internet marketing niche.

Now, if you want content for any part of your project, just simply create a new thread, make it controversial if possible, and you will have answers flying in left and right. You can use this content and create an informative ebook or report with a catchy title. This type of information always sells well.

With that, I wish you all the best in your content creation efforts and your online ventures.

This is a technique on how to leverage eBay and Google to make fast and easy money online. To generate fast cash, you have to use the two best marketing tools, of which is eBay’s marketplace and Google’s Adwords network. You will be guaranteed a truckload of highly targeted visitors.

Since time is running short, I’ll cut to the chase…

1. Drink lots of coffee.

2. Create a themed package with high perceived value (Videos, mp3s, ebook) through the leverage of Private Label Rights (do a search on Google to find out more about this goldmine of information you can tap on). Perhaps even make it a physical product by leveraging services like lulu.com. Your product dosen’t need to exist yet, it only needs to exist in your customer’s mind.

3. Charge it at $127. (Leave $27 as ad budget for this 24 hours). Some people may say that going above the $100 mark affects your conversion rates, however the customers we are looking for here are high-end customers who are looking for a quality product.

4. Use Adwords and eBay to drive traffic to the product. (For example if you created a product on golf tips, bid on words related to golf tips in Adwords. For eBay, use the Buy It Now option instead of the auction style for faster results)

5. Count your money in Paypal!

This is a surefire way to generate fast cash, but you do need to put in some elbow grease. Remember, for just a few hours of work, you can create something which you can sell over and over again, for years to come.

An important part of Internet advertising and promotion is to be able to come up with new products at least once a month. This could be a video advertisement or an ebook containing the latest developments in your industry or your website. The point is to provide constant reminders that you are still around and active so that users always know where to look for related information or products. There are several software available that can assist in this task. Especially for video there are many packages that can assist with the addition of special effects and you can even choose from several output options for your video file from burning it to DVD to creating a streaming format for web delivery.

Creating ebooks is even simpler because you just have to write a word document and then use freeware PDF publication software. Though you can write in any language so far English has proven to be the best selling because even international Internet users tend to be most familiar with it. Of course, if you have special language skills, like translating eastern languages then you can become a highly paid professional by translating the ebooks of others. At present this is a huge market and getting competitive all the time.

Ebooks are good because they can be delivered with minimum problem. By keeping the size small they can be delivered through a website so that anyone can download them. You can write an ebook even if you have only a unique take on something rather than a unique topic itself

Creating your own digital product can be one of the greatest ways to start a business online. If you create the product yourself, you won’t have to spend any money in order to have something to sell. Another great benefit of creating your own product is that all of the profit is yours. You own it, so you don’t have to worry about only getting a portion of the products, which is what would happen if you sold someone else’s products. There are a few different types of digital products you can create, and each can be done to create many different products.

You can create an e-book. Many people have an interest in learning something, and if you find the right topic, you can create an e-book on it. Many people like purchasing e-books since it is easy to search through them and find what you are looking for. This is great for a how-to or to help someone solve a problem they are having.

You can create an audio file. Many people don’t want to take the time to read an e-book, and would prefer an audio file that they can listen to while they are on the go. This can also be great because you can just record a conversation you have with someone, and if it has enough information on it, you can sell it. If you don’t think you know anything of value, you can interview someone over the phone, and that can be your product.

You can create video files. Many people learn by watching, so sometimes a video file can be very helpful. You can record how to do something showing people step by step how something is done. This is great, since someone can watch parts over and over again until they understand how to do it themselves.

Once you come up with a topic that you have a lot of knowledge on, or know someone who has a lot of knowledge on, you can decide which type of digital product would work best for you. Just as a note, many people perceive audio and video files as higher end product than an e-book, and are usually willing to pay more for them. Once you create the product, which with an audio or video file could take just a little while, you can start selling your product online, and earning a profit off of it. You might even want to start an affiliate program and offer a small percentage of the profits to others in order to help them promote your product.

A really great thing about a digital product is that you create it once, and can keep selling it over and over again. If you set it up so that once payment has been made, the product is automatically sent to the customer, you won’t even have to worry about it anymore. You will be able to earn profits while you sleep, and while you are on vacation. This is another great reason that it can be great to create your own digital product.

Have you ever looked all over the house for an item and then when you finally found it the item was right under your nose all along?

If you have ever wanted to market a product or to make money selling information products, without losing your savings or spending thousands of dollars, then public domain might be the answer to your prayers.

It’s everywhere you look but do you know what to look for? Everyday you and thousands of others come across public domain information and products without even knowing it.
Striking it rich on your first attempt using public domain is un-likely however let me give you a couple of examples of well-known people who have built financial empires using public domain.

Walt Disney - Do you think all of those cute little characters that made him rich were from his own brilliant mind? Not a chance.
Uncle Walts’ early day fortune was created after he discovered the Grimm Fairy Tales, that were loved by so many, had fallen into public domain.
Other than making a few changes and updating the characters along with some of their names he basically copied them and made billions of dollars in the process.

Television media mogul Ted Turner created “Turner Classic Movies” known as ‘TCM’ was basically public domain tv because most all of the movies broadcast were in the public domain.
People’s love for classic movies brought them to his TV network while also making Ted a fortune selling advertising.

These two cases might be extreme examples however they are proof positive that public domain profits and fortunes are available for the taking.
There is little doubt that thousands of examples from regular everyday people like you, and even some large companies, would fill volumes with their success stories of public domain profits.
So, what exactly is public domain and how do you know if something falls within your rights to use it?

The precise answer requires more space than this introductory article however here is a basic and general overview.

Public domain is most often referred to anything that does not fall under copyright laws including works that are not eligible for copyright or where copyright has expired.
You may only use the works of another once it becomes public domain, without obtaining permission of the original copyright holder.

Below are examples of just some of the works in public domain you might have seen or come across before without even knowing it.
Posters, books, reports, photographs, movies, tv programs, audio recordings, music, plays, manuals, courses of many kinds and much more!
So what are the benefits of you using public domain information, or works, to create your own products?

Here are a few ideas to get your mind racing.
* Low start up cost
* Eliminate paying royalties to others
* Quickly test a market’s viability without a large investment
* Save money testing a market before further development
* Low investment of time - time is money
* You keep 100% of the profits!
* No copyright fees
* Thousands of works already exist you can use starting today
* Prior success of works usually is an indicator of future success i.e.: Grimm Fairy Tales!

As you can see the possibilities of using public domain for profits are limited only by your imagination.

The question should not be “can I start a profitable business using public domain?” but rather..
Are YOU prepared to do so?

One of the first big mistakes Internet marketers make is to try to copy what they think is successful. They hear stories of how popular sites like Digg or MySpace have become and their first thought is to try to copy those ideas without putting any thought into whether those sites are worth copying or not.

Simply because a site receives a lot of traffic doesn’t mean that it’s profitable or that its underlying business model is worth copying. Many sites are successful because they came along at the right time and filled a unique need in the marketplace that just doesn’t exist anymore. Many more sites seem successful, but can’t turn that success into significant income for their owners.

Digg receives tons of traffic but barely breaks even financially. MySpace and Facebook have millions of users but those users are strongly tied to those sites because of their strong brand and because that’s where their friends are. Even if you were to come up with a better version of Digg or MySpace (and many have tried), a critical mass of people have already committed to using those sites and there just aren’t enough unaffiliated people in those markets for your “me too” site to be successful.

The million-dollar home page is another good example. Being first to market with that idea and a great public relations campaign were what made that site successful, not the underlying business model. But, thousands of copycat sites popped up trying to siphon off some of its success without understanding that the business model relied on factors they simply couldn’t duplicate. None of them could hope to capture the media attention of the original and that’s what made it as successful as it was.

While there are certainly ideas in the Internet marketing world that are worth copying, it’s rare to find a successful website that you’ll make money copying. Typically, successful websites become successful due to almost random factors and those factors simply can’t be duplicated by the second or third movers in a market.

For example, while it’s certainly lucrative to run a popular Internet marketing forum, you’ll face a long hard road if you enter that market now with your own copycat Internet marketing forum. The big players are simply too entrenched for your entry to attract many of their users without a compelling reason for those users to defect. Unfortunately, “I want to make money with my forum too” is not a compelling reason.

Your path to success will be much shorter if you break out of the copycat mindset. Big success doesn’t come from trying to imitate someone else’s big success. Imitate their methods, imitate their approach to marketing, and imitate the principles that made them a success, but don’t try to imitate their ideas. Their ideas were successful because of a unique combination of their effective action, their experience, their reputation, and a healthy dose of good timing and good fortune that will be nearly impossible for you to duplicate.
