As anyone who markets online knows, there are lots of different ways of pulling cash from the net. But the best method, the one through which the ‘gurus’ become gurus in the first place is by creating and selling your own information products.
This puts cash in your pocket for many reasons (as I hope to prove with a case study that I’m putting together right now).
First and most obviously, you have a product to sell. That’s cash source #1 right there.
Secondly, you add customers to a mailing list when they buy your product.
Take a little time to build up trust with them and you can recommend products and services which you can be pretty confident they will buy.
And as every experienced marketer knows, existing customers are always the easiest and most economical to sell to (every new customer costs you in both money and time terms), so these are ‘maximum profit’ sales too.
Thirdly, when you create your own products, you build your brand and authority in your market too. When prospects know your brand and recognize you as an expert, their resistance to buying from you is minimized.
I’m sure there are other ways that I’ve missed (if you can think of anything, please add your comments below) but these three give you an idea why when it comes to making the big ‘moolah’, creating our own product has to be the way to go.
But most marketers think that creating a product is difficult which is why I’ve just published a new guide called ‘Product Creation Essentials’ which you can download completely free.
This guide is designed to show anyone who has never created their own information product before everything you need to consider before and during the process of doing so.
It deals with every individual aspect of the process including research, creating and then marketing the product, highlighting many hurdles that beginners usually find alarmingly easy to run into!
If you have ever considered the possibility of creating your own information product, this is one not to miss. Even if you have not done so, the book is packed with background knowledge and concepts that cannot fail to help in your online marketing efforts.

UPDATED – See Bottom Of This Post For More Information:
This is insane but absolutely genuine. But it also lasts for just a few more days, so you have to be very quick.
One of my favorite software developers is Brad Callen. He’s the guy behind what I still consider to be the best keyword software on the market (Keyword Elite) and a brilliant SEO report – and Brad is a master of SEO – called SEO Mindset.
I’d definitely recommend that you take a look at both the software and the book – both are truly outstanding – but make absolutely certain that you take action on what you are going to read on this page no matter what.
Brad has just launched a new service called SEO Link Vine, which as the name suggests is a new link networking system/tool. But here’s the crazy thing (or several actually)…
First, the system is free.
Second, it automatically adds content to your blog and it ‘uniquefies’ the content that it is adding as it does so. So, if building a site on autopilot sounds like a good idea (no more spending boring hours writing content for your site), this tool is for you (and remember, it’s free).
Next, it’s an excellent niche research tool and because of the way it is building your site, it’ll send you a ton of free targeted traffic as well.
So, it sounds good so far, right?
Well, here’s the really crazy thing.
For the next few days, until April 9th, Brad is actually giving away cash…really!!
For every site you add to the system – that is, your own sites, chunks of virtual real estate that you own – Brad’s company Bryxen are going to add $1 to your PayPal account! If you have 50 sites, that’s $50 for adding them all to the system, 100 sites is worth $100 and so on…
It sounds insane but it actually makes sense when you think about it. A link network is only strong if there are lots of sites in it and what better way of making sure you help the network grow than paying you to do so?
But like I say, this is only open for a few days, so you’d better get a move on if you want to take advantage of this insanity generosity.
Here’s the link again – SEO Link Vine. Do it now…
STOP-PRESS: A couple of people have asked for proof that there really is money being given away here – after all, it sounds nuts, right? Here’s the screenshot:
Okay, let me explain again what this does. It builds your blogs and sites for you, period.
It collects content, makes it unique (you can reject anything that is not unique enough for you) and then adds it to your site 2,3,4, however many times a day you like. You also have the ability to manually review content before it is added so anything you don’t like, you don’t post.
Now, this is not primarily about finding other people to join the system. It’s about adding your own sites so that they are automatically updated, with the degree of automation being entirely your choice and getting paid to do so.
But here’s the thing,
Until this Friday, you will get $1 in your PayPal account for every site added by anyone you add to the ssytem too (look at the bottom of the screenshot).
So, it you have a list, mail it out today and you could add $100′s to PayPal literally overnight by giving away something that is extremely useful and totally free.

Build one way links from .edu sites, courtesy of Google
Posted by admin in Business Making Money Online, Howto, Search Engine Optimization, Seo, Twiitter, social media, webiste visitors on July 24th, 2009
Further to the last post where I explained how Yahoo! can help you find both .edu and .gov sites that will link to you, try this one with Google. Run a standard search using variations of this string as your search parameters (make sure the spacing is correct):-
site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”you must be logged in” -”comment posting closed” -”comment closed” “<your keyword term>”
Do this and Google returns all of the .edu university and college blogs to which you can submit your comments to generate a link. It is probably a good idea to ping his/her blog after your comment is added to the post to make certain it gets picked up too.
Of course, you must ensure that the links are followable before posting a helpful and thoughtful comment. Install either the Google toolbar or the excellent (and free) Search Status Firefox add-on to simplify this latter task.
Debt Relief with PLR…!
Posted by admin in Business Making Money Online, Howto, blogging on July 6th, 2009
I’ve just written a brand new debt relief related e-book plus a 3000 word special report which I’m giving away for almost nothing, especially when you consider that there will only ever be 20 copies sold in total. With almost half of them gone already, you need to get your skates on if debt relief is your market and you want a very special deal that comes with full Private Label Rights…
That’s right, you can do whatever you want with this baby. Put your own name on it and claim it as your own work, break up up inro articles or specila reports, basically, whatever you like.

What happens in an economic depression – part 2
Posted by admin in Business Making Money Online, getting started on February 24th, 2009
In the first part of ‘what happens in an economic depression’, I tried to suggest that in these extremely difficult times, many people are going to start trying to earn a living from the internet, primarily because there is less work and therefore less money flying around.
Hence, the first question that people who are thinking of earning a living online are going to ask is, ‘how do I do so?’. The simple answer is, by blogging.
Traditionally, if you want to generate an income from a blog, you would do so in one of two different ways.
Either you would feature paid advertising on your site (generally using Google AdSense) or by promoting someone else’s products as an affiliate.
However, I would suggest that neither of these solutions is going to be effective or profitable in the future, for several reasons.
Firstly, there is less money available to the businesses who were previously spending lots of money with Google, and it therefore stands to reason that there are going to be less companies advertising with the ‘big G’ in the future. Furthermore, one of the big bugbears of anyone who has ever used AdSense is that Google has steadfastly refused to tell you how much you will get paid for featuring their advertising on the site, or indeed, what percentage of the money they are paid ends up in your bank account.
Am I wrong in thinking that the percentage is likely to come down when Google see less and less people advertising? And when that happens, will you be any the wiser?
I believe that the answer to these questions is ‘yes’ and ‘no’, in this order.
Thus, if you are going to feature advertising on your blog as a way of making money, you really need to look at other advertising companies apart from Google, companies who offer paid advertising that is an awful lot more transparent than AdSense.
But, why depend on advertising in the first place? After all, by doing so, you are relying on other people (Google et al) to place advertising materials on your website, and then you are relying on your visitors to click on those ads. Granted, that is the very basis of PPC advertising, but it is a fact that the average net user is becoming increasingly ‘ad blind’. AdSense is almost everywhere nowadays, even featuring on the websites of the quality broadsheet newspapers so the average net user is nowadays bombarded with online advertising. Thus, they are becoming increasingly adept at ignoring it.
Then, you have the affiliate product option.
In this situation, you find a product or service created by an individual or company which you promote in exchange for a commission. The problem here is that the product or service you are promoting does not belong to you and you did not create it, so you have no guarantee of the quality of the product unless you buy it yourself.
As 99.9% of affiliate marketers don’t do so (if you bought every product you are thinking of promoting, you would probably spend more money than you generate from sales), there could plenty of refund requests, and again, you are relying on other people for the success of your business.
Add this to the fact that you only ever going to earn a percentage of the overall customer spend as your commission, and you again have to ask is this the best way of earning money online?
As far as I can see, neither of these traditional solutions is going to be the answer for how to make money through your own blog site in the future.
So, is there a better option?
The answer is, of course there is.
