How To Bring In Your First $100,000 With Infoproducts

January 2nd, 2010

Can you really earn a living creating and marketing ebooks,
special reports, courses and other infoproducts?

Rather than just try to convince you of that fact, I figured
it’s better to go one step further and show you exactly how
it’s done.

Creating your own infoproducts, writing ebooks, building
courses or membership sites are often the launch pad for
becoming an information entrepreneur spinning off multiple
streams of online income.

Your number may not be $100,000, it may be lower or higher,
the fact is there is a way to continue to turn your knowledge
into more profits quickly.

Here is an example of a typical infoproduct entrepreneur’s
progress toward $100,000.

Step 1. The First eBook or Infoproduct

You need to quickly launch your introductory ebook, video,
audio or other information product and you need to find a
way to sell it for $47-$97.

For tips on how to increase the value and price of your
information product – refer to the recent article called
“5 Exceptional Bonuses That Will Increase Your Online
Marketing Business Results” over at:
http://www.highertrustmarketing.com/articles/5bonuses.html

If you have selected your topic correctly – as outlined
in my Ultimate Information Entreprenur’s Success Package
http://www.infoproductcreator.com , then you can expect
to sell 30-60 copies per month. Let’s say you sell just
50 copies per month at a price of $67 each –

50 X $67 = $3350/month or $40,200/year

Step 2. Teleseminar, Webinars or Interviews

The trick to building on your momentum is to leverage the
success of your first infoproduct by conducting a series of
teleseminars, webinars or interviews.

You want to produce at least 1 new audio/video product per
month.

There are many teleseminar or webinar services out there
that allow you to control the entire session, and will ship
you the audio file with transcripts following the session.

You now have some additional income from the teleseminars
and from the resulting products –

12 Teleseminars X $555 (15 ppl X $37) = $6,660

80 Product Sales/month (4 New Products X 20 sales/month) X $67 =
$5360/month or $32,160/year (only calculating 6-months of sales
as it will take some time to build these products)

Step 3. Related Affiliate Products

While infopreneurs are product developers and marketers of their
own products first, it certainly doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t
build a list of subscribers and market affiliate products to
your list.

Based on personal experience, it is certainly possible, and quite
easy to pull in an extra $500-$1,000/month with well positioned
affiliate product promotions – even with a list as small as a
couple thousand subscribers.

Let’s be conservative and assume you run two affiliate promotions
per month each bringing in $400 –

24 Affiliate Promotions X $400 = $9,600/year

Step 4. Show People The Solution – Videos

Technology has advanced to the point where you can easily produce
very high quality videos from your own home office.

These videos can be tutorials showing screen shots, interviews
with experts or a combination of camcorder shots with screen
shots.

Now, there is tremendous money to be made in developing multimedia
based products – however we will be very conservative with our
estimates here, we’ll assume you develop this product 6-months
into your business and that it will be a $47 DVD (in reality they
can often be priced much higher – depending on the topic and
uniqueness of content) –

25 sales X $47 = $1175/month or $7050/6months

Step 5. Offer Services

If you have selected your market carefully, tapped into a wave
of demand and offered a unique solution or system to solve a
particular problem – then people will come to you looking for
help beyond your product.

Offering consulting, coaching, mentoring, implementation or other
services may not be your first goal, but the requests will come
and you may as well prepare by pricing and marketing your services
in advance.

To this day, I still fight most consulting engagements – I simply
love creating products too much. But offering consulting or other
services does bump up your monthly income and is a great way to
stay in touch with your market – first hand.

Typical consulting rates range from $150-$300/hour. For this
example, I’ll assume minimal consulting at just 10-hours per
month and assume your first consulting income will not be
generated for the first 6-months as you build your customers
and reputation.

10hours/month X $150/hour = $1,500/month or $9,000/6months

THE GRAND TOTAL

So far we have the following:

$40,200 from main product
$6,660 paid teleseminars
$32,160 additional products from recording teleseminars
$9,600 from related affiliate products
$7,050 from video/multimedia products
$9,000 from consulting and services

TOTAL $104,670

What I have outlined here is a completely reasonable, and in many
cases, very conservative estimate of what you can do in your first
year of becoming an infopreneur.

It’s the model I followed, as have most other online marketing success
stories. While the split of numbers may look different, the categories
are pretty consistent.

Most important is that you select a target market and niche demand
that is red-hot, in-demand and that people have proven the propensity
to spend.

From there, you will find that blowing the estimates used above out
of the water is a very realistic possibility.

Top Ten eBook Mistakes and How to Correct Them (Part 1)

December 31st, 2009

Did you know that you already have an eBook inside you? And, like your coach, you can earn thousands of dollars each month?


Even if you are a non-techie like me, you can write your ebook at the same time you write your print book. Or, solve your readers’ problems using other articles and reports already in your files. Expand a two-page article with a story or add other how-to’s.


If you want to double and triple your present book income, check out these mistakes and correct them now.


Mistake 1. You don’t write a short e-Book first to test the waters.


Short is in the eyes of the beholder, but let’s say from 15-90 pages. Your future customers will be glad to download these pages and print only the ones they need to.


Your e-Book needs to be more concise, easy-to-read, and compelling than your print book. That means you can shorten your analogies and stories. You can use a “success format” that poses a question (a heading) your reader wants answered, then answer it. This formula gets to the point quickly, and always remember, your Online audience is busy and doesn’t want a wordy style.


Mistake 2. You don’t check in with a professional editor or book coach before you sell your e-Book.


Yes, it’s good to get feedback from peers, but you need to get a professional look at the final edition -someone who can set you straight about words and grammar that makes your writing vital and original. For instance, you need to drop your passive constructions such as “there is” or any form of “is, has, begin or start”. Limit the -ly adverbs that merely tell rather than show. Your readers want a picture and want to respond with their emotions. Limit your -ing forms of the verbs. Keep your copy in present or past tense.


Mistake 3. You don’t know your audience before you write your e-Book.


Emerging authors make this biggest mistake. They have information, so why not write an e-Book? Instead think about the audience you will serve. More targeted works well. People who want something quick and easy that will save them time and money – another audience. The best one so far in the untapped Internet or Online audience. Mostly small business people, they are eager to buy what they need to make their life or business more enjoyable, profitable, and easy.


Right now, think of your one or two preferred audiences, and keep their profile of their needs, complaints, or problems as well as their picture by your workstation. Then you will write the book your pre-sold audience already wants!


Mistake 4. You don’t automate your business.


As a newbie or non-techie, at first you may resist learning how to do this. Three years ago I knew nothing about the net, and today I’ve published five e-Books on Internet marketing and e-Book writing and publishing. You can too, little by little.


Since each book will not bring you landslides of profit, think about limiting your small priced books. Or, bundle them so that each sale is around $20 and up.


Offer your e-Book for sale through an 800 number. One with excellent service is MRC business Support at 800-366-5596. Set up a link for people to download your book. Two companies to investigate are Clickbank.com and Paypal.com.


Delegate some of this work to your computer assistant. Contact your local high schools and technical schools where Online geniuses live. And, the cost is nominal in comparison to the results.


Mistake 5. You don’t have a title that sells well.


A good title is short, clear, and clever. The best title includes your book’s number one benefit. Use words your audience can relate to. Even cliches are OK for book titles. Instead of “How to Market Online,” offer a title like a Web site headline: “Quadruple your Monthly Book Income – Market Online.”


Brainstorm a list of your possible titles with associates through a small marketing survey. Ask them to vote from 1-10 and offer their own title ideas that would make them reach into their wallets and pay $15-20 or more.


The e-Book earning curve while short is important for all writers to conquer. It’s easier when you contact a professional coach or take a teleclass to inform yourself. Stop making e-Book mistakes so you can earn the money you deserve.

What You Should Know before Purchasing Bed Sheets – it Is Gripping

June 14th, 2009

It was common to have white bedding in everybodys bedroom quite some time back. You are astonished at the range of unusual bedding that are on offer today. The latest bedding are available in irresistible prints and colorings that change the look of your sleeping room

Following are some factors that matter a lot when you purchase a bedsheet.

Calculate the beds dimensions

You might think that all twin beds or king sizing beds measure the same, but sadly it is not so. Usually the top measurings dont differ a lot but the other proportions vary with each bed producer. Due to this variance in the proportions, it is safe to measure all the proportions and the depth of your mattress too. Often similar beds from the same brand are longer or wider than each other. Measuring your bed will give you an idea of the size of your bed sheet before purchasing.

Determine from where to buy

You will find a lot of top names in bed linen available in a departmental shop near you. For a different look, some people also go for embroidered bedding with sequins. Another choice is to shop online for the largest diversity. In case you wish to purchase regular bedding you can get a good deal at a discount rate outlet.

Learn about the thread count of

A thread count refers to the number of threads contained in one square inch of the bed sheet in both directions of the weave. This count is mentioned on the label of the bed sheet itself. A lush grain calls for a high thread count. Even So do not go for a very high thread count as it implies the singular threads are light and may not give the preferred cozy feeling. For the right soft feel, a thread count of 175 – 250 is fine.

Pick your bed sheet material

Take care to choose a fabric that you can afford and is cozy too. Cotton sheets are still liked, but blended cotton is preferable by those who dont like wrinkles. For a warm cocoon around you, flannel is best in winter. Those who wish a casual sheet can go for satin or silk.

Caring directions

Ensure that you are aware of the cleaning instructions for the bed sheet beforehand. Silk sheets cannot be machine washed as they are delicate. Do you have the time for all this? Hence choose a bedsheet that you can afford and require less maintenance.

Hope these six steps lead you to finding a perfect bed sheet for your bed.
