creating your own information product

Hi,

If you didn't know it before, I'll tell you today. If you want to make big money online, you have to create your own products.

Forget about all the noise about adsense and affiliate marketing. I'm not saying they cannot make you money, but if you want to build a sustainable internet business, then you must have your own products.

Or why do you think that the big adsense and affiliate marketing guys have their own products.

Even if you don't sell them well at the beginning, you can offer your products as bonuses to people to come to your site and buy other products through your affiliate links and even to click on your adsense.

Having said that, I must confess that it is a lot of hard work to create your own product. You have to do the following and more.

- You have to do a market research - You have to write pages and pages of book - You have to create e cover graphics.

Heck! Small wonder many people don't do it.

You can however avoid the above problems and have your own product with your name and copyright on it by investing a little amount of money on Private Label Right’s products. It is very easy to do.

So here is a breakdown of how to do it.

1) Purchase a Private Label Products like the one at http://www.TriplePlrBlowout.com

2) Brand it as your own by putting your name as the author.

3) Edit it by adding what you want to the contents and also by moving what you don't want to give it a personal touch. This is important because there will be others out there with the same rights.

4) Create a new e cover for it or edit the source file you were provided with.

5) Go online and sell your product or give away to build your list

Last note: Do not go for a right that is too cheap. If you've got a package of 20 products for just $5 then you should know that thousands of other people out there have the same rights.

Also you should buy rights directly from the creator of the products only and not those that bought the rights and are reselling the rights. Buy from only those that say you can only use it for personal business and not the rights to give the rights. Follow these tips and you will be creating your own products in the next 24 hours.

See you at the top

THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST

List building is one of the most profitable ways to build your online business. With so much competition, you have to work so hard to get traffic to website. Why allow visitors to visit one time and then leave? You worked too hard to get them there in the first place. So list building strategies should you use so that you can contact your customers over and over again? First of all, you have to make list building your top priority. This is the most important step of any list building strategy. What this means is that every entrance into your website is there solely for the purpose of building your list. You want people to sign up to your list before they can go any further. Now this means that you have to have convincing copy on your website to make people want to give you their e-mail address. But if you allow them to get to the contents of your website first, most likely they will not voluntarily sign up for your list. The second step is your list building strategy is to create a squeeze page. A squeeze page gives the visitors two options - either sign up to your list or leave. While this sounds rather blunt, this is exactly what you want. If someone is not willing to give you their e-mail address, then most likely they will not buy anything from you anyway. Offering something free in exchange for their e-mail address will greatly increase your subscription rate. Once you get your customer's e-mail address, be sure not to bombard them with sales pitches right off. Sales pitches are the primary reason that people do not give their e-mail address away, and if all you do is hound them with sales pitches, then they will unsubscribe rather quickly. Instead, you need to build a relationship with them by helping them answer questions that they need answered. Then you can move into the sales pitch phase after you have built a relationship with them. One of the things i will be sharing with you is on

List building can often be a tricky task. Most people are not inclined to give their email ids to strangers, or any marketing device. It is extremely personal and so if you want to get hold of it, you need to come up with efficient and effective tactics. If you are not sure what to do, or how to collect the maximum number of email addresses for your business, here's a quick look at the various strategies that you can adopt:

• You can publish newsletters and offer ecourses to your niche market. People nowadays can go to any extent to get the information they want. If you can give them the required and relevant details of the product that you are promoting, you will soon see a host of people waiting to sign up for your newsletter or ecourse.

• Providing free ecourses is another effective option. If the ecourse you create contains good information, a sizeable number of people would want to subscribe for it. Make a slightly longish course, one consisting of at least seven sections which you can send by parts to their inbox.

• Social networking site is a great platform that facilitates list building. It has been seen that this kind of sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. have the capacity to generate more traffic than even Google.

• Free ebooks are also a good way to get email addresses. It need not be too learned or flashy, just make sure that you fill it up with relevant information that people can use. Design it in a way that only members have access to the whole of it. If you can create a useful and informative ebook, you are sure to get a lot of email ids to include in your list.

• You can go for writing articles that will help you to reach out to your target market. Use functional keywords that are pertinent to the subject you are writing on. The language has to be lucid and free flowing, such that the readers will be interested to know more about the subject. This will force them to click on the resource box and sign up with you. It is important that you submit your articles to the leading article directories that are frequently visited by Web surfers.

• Pop up windows can serve as great reminders, urging people to sign up for more information and thus help in collecting email addresses.

• Give free bonus offers to your website visitors if they sign up with you. Free offers always go down well among people and can contribute towards list building to a great extent.
