When you first decide to start an internet business, there isn't a great deal going for you is there?  You often don't have thousands of dollars to throw into a pot, can't wait for months to "experiment" until you get things right and need to start seeing some results fast to know you are on the right track.

You may be looking to generate money by selling other people's products, developing your own such as an ebook, course or other information-based product or generating some extra revenue through placing ads on your site - the same key principles apply no matter was internet business you want to start.   

The reality though, you often don't have a load of extra time or a year's worth of salary to throw away when you start an online business - it's usually done with limited resources and you need results FAST!

The good news is it really isn't all that complicated, and it's been done before by thousands of successful internet business entrepreneurs. In fact, we have thousands that have followed our eBook Business Blueprint and are now discovering first-hand what it's like to see daily orders and profits from their own internet businesses.

Start An Internet Business - 5 Key Steps

1. Begin with a marketplace and topic for which you have passion - don't worry, we'll show you how to find hidden opportunties in almost any marketplace - but first you must have a gut-based passion for the market and topic you are about to target, you will find all other aspects of business building will come easier if you follow this critical business strategy.

Do you believe Bill Gates loved creating software for PC's?  Did Donald Trump get jazzed about doing Real Estate deals? What about Tiger Woods, do you think he has some passion behind becoming the best golfer in the world? 

When you start an internet business, it all begins with passion that can move mountains - and next comes harnassing that passion, turning it into something marketable.

2. All businesses (at least successful ones) address desires, wants and needs people have to either avoid pain or gain pleasure. So, to start an internet business, match the market you have chosen in #1 with a top desire within that market. Ask these questions: What frustrations do people in your market have that you can help overcome or what unfulfilled desire exists that you can help fulfill?  This folks is your internet business idea.

3. What will you give the marketplace and in what format.  So, you have identified a "cause" in #2 that is inline with your passion in #1 - now you must identify how you will fulfill that passion before you start.  An internet business is the same as any other business - you give the market information that helps them achieve what they want.

It could be 1) Bringing an already great product to the attention of those you want to help through reviews, promotions, education, etc… or 2)It could be quickly putting together your own report, audio or ebook on the topic as our eBook Writing System teaches.   Because you want to succeed FAST, pick a few experts and interview them to get your content - add your own experiences and BAM, you have a product to sell

4. OK, so you have a passion, a unique value proposition based on the #1 desire in your marketplace and a plan to offer your market a solution - how do you monetize this?  If you choose to promote someone else's product, then make sure you earn a fair commission (30-50% is fair if you are doing most of the education and marketing) or bundle written, audio and video content together to create a course you can price higher than just an ebook - such as a home study course, guidebook, learning program, etc…where you can get $97 or more for your information.

5. To start an internet business that really grows fast, with good momentum, leverage other successful online businesses in your space.  How?  Uncover the top sites, forums, newsletters and internet businesses that already market to the same audience you do, then ask them to review your products and site.  If you strike up a relationship, then have them promote your products in exchange for a slice of the profits - they can become your affiliates and that really gets things rolling. 

Have I left anything out?

Oh ya, don't forget to work on yourself. 99% of your success when you start an internet business is due to YOU and your frame of mind.  You need a strong sense of desire, success for you should be a forgone conclusion - you should already see it in your mind, you must have a strong belief and confidence in yourself and don't give up - no matter what!  To get a quick understanding of how to Attract Greatness into your life and internet business, learn the basics of "Achieving Beyond Greatness" - this will give you an unbelievable boost in life and business. 

Now, when you start an internet business you are heading out on an incredible journey - that's serious stuff, but it's also the chance to really show those around you what you are made of, achieve levels of control and happiness in your life unlike ever before and finally be compensated for the value of your time, energy and creativity.  Enjoy the ride!

From the outside looking in, sites like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and sites like them are interesting and you may have even dipped your toe into the water guage the temperature, but most folks have yet to decide how important social networking will be to their online marketing efforts. 

That's important, because if you are unsure about social networking's importance, you will pay less attention, spend less time learning and experimenting and will almost certainly abandon your efforts until you become more convinced that there is a role for social networking in online marketing.

There are 3 primary reasons social networking DOES matter - I would like to hear your thoughts on each one of these:

1. Social networking verus email.  Will social networking replace, enhance or simply co-exist alongside email marketing?  When you send out a promotion to your list today, can you imagine also involving your social network in that promotion?  Absolutely!  Just like email, you can't JUST send your social network commercial emails urging them to buy things, you must first build a relationship, which brings us to our second point.

2. Building relationships.  There is a definite advantage of social networking in how quickly and targeted you can build your list.  Due to the viral nature of social networking sites, you can start with a core group of a dozen friends and find yourself with hundreds of friends tapping into your message within just a few weeks.  Certainly, you need to remain active, produce decent content, understand your target market and know their core desires as well as some of the fringe desires they have to attract and hold attention.  However, the rate and relevancy of your social networking friends list can grow very fast.

3. Influence.  Here's where we get into some psychology 101 - specifically buying behavior and influence.  The question most people have on their mind when considering social networking in relationship to business is where are the links between chit-chat and buying activity.  For some people that link seems too far away to be worthwhile, others who are experimenting find that there is a closer link than many believe between the casual conversations and relationships formed on social networks and commercial activity in their business. 

MY NETWORK LOVES ME

If you think about how the internet was structured in the past, basically around organizing information around topical areas such as portals, indexes which could be discovered with search - that is how people found information and eventually decided to purchase products and services. 

Now, if we look at how we build our list, even if it is very niche focused, the fact is that our list will be built based on various different angles and types of content - so you end up with a fairly fragmented list of people, at least in terms of buyer interest. 

But, social networks are built more in line with how we form relationships in real life, but with global context.

It is this combination of giving global context to social organization of relationships that makes social networking so powerful to online marketers.

When you love a movie, you tell 3-4 friends and they may go see it. 

When you discover a book you like, you share it with perhaps 4-5 people at work and they will go out and buy it most of the time. 

Why?

Because they trust you, they are friends, they know you, you have built a relationship over time AND your recommendation often comes up in a timely and contextual way. 

The same thing goes for social networking.  Let's say you had a list of 400 followers on Twitter and you announce to the group that you just finished a home study course that made you an extra $1000 over the weekend - do you think that would be of interest to your social network assuming they have been built within a social context of those who want to make money?

Our experiements with Myspace, Facebook and Twitter - and to a lesser extent YouTube and other video sharing sites has proven very effective in two major ways…

1. Grow dynamically with very little effort.  I began adding a few people to Twitter and it has continued to grow each day with no more than a few 30-second posts daily. 

2. Initial announcements for an affiliate launch and mentions of activity on our private membership site have resulted in quite extraordinary conversion statistics - much to my surprise and delight. 

Needless to say, I am recommending that we all put more effort and time into the top social networking sites. 

To give you a jumpstart - go ahead and add us as a friend on myspace and facebook by:

And we'll make sure to reciprocate and begin growing your network.

Each day I talk with people who want to escape their current jobs, mothers who want to turn a few spare minutes they have at home each day into a new opportunity or someone who has just been on the losing end of a company's job downsizing initiative - they consider creating their own information product, but have trouble tracking down a market and topic they're comfortable will sell and that they can live with over the next year. 

In fact, topics exist all around us each day.  Through your own experiences, frustrations you hear others speak about, online discussion forums, and even the news…YES, the news. 

When I first logged on this morning to answer my mail, process orders and provide customer support to customers of my various businesses - my browser default page is My Yahoo - where I immediately get access to top stories in areas such as Health, Entertainment, Business and Lifestyle topics. 

There are dozens of hot topics each day that present themselves as news stories each day that could easily be turned into top selling information products - they have a built-in, proven audience or they wouldn't have made it to the front page of Yahoo in the first place.

For example, I see "How To Land A Job In The First 10-Minutes" - a story that rightly points to the fact that any job, including your dream job, the decision is made in the first 10-minutes and then goes on to share several points that can help given this reality. 

Terrific market (hungry, desparate job seekers), great topic (how to master the nerve-racking interview) - but you know what is missing? 

Detail, specifics, expert opinions, a method and checklist that you can turn into a report, ebook or home study course in how to prepare for interviews. 

The same goes for articles you find in magazines, even chapters in books you see in the bookstore can be turned into more detailed information products - the great thing is that the demand for the topic is already proven!  No guesswork, if the story appears in a top magazine, news portal or as a chapter in a book, then the topic has already been studied for demand quite thoroughly - so you are safe in knowing that your efforts will not be wasted in producing your infoproduct.

The next step…use the formula presented in our 45-day To Your Own InfoProduct Profit video course inside InfoMarketer'sZone and be seeing the profits of your new online business within 2-months.  Finally, a real business online in less than 60-days.

It seems that everyone has strong opinions on what it is like to make an ebook and become successful information publishers and marketers, yet 99% of these opinions are, at best, misleading with many being outright lies. 

How can I say this?

Simple, 99% of the opinions expressed on the topic of ebook publishing or infoproduct marketing are from people who have a) never experienced making an ebook in their lives or b) have never sold more than a few copies of their ebook - are these really the people you should be listening to?

I don't want to get into an exhaustive listing of my accomplishments, but to summarize a few…

1. I've been involved with infoproduct, training and course development for over 10-years creating products that have generated millions of dollars of profits for companies, individuals and myself. 

2. I have over a dozen active information products on the market right now in 3 different niche markets including ebooks, reports, audio programs, DVD's, coaching programs, consulting services and membership sites. 

3. I have coached dozens of others in niche markets such as relationships, personal development, pet training, financial services, internet marketing, sports and others to create and improve their information products.

You'll see much of how we help others achieve their goals with information marketing over at InfoMarketer'sZone

This has been my company's main business for more than 10-years in which time we have experienced allot, made some mistakes and had a great deal of success. 

It is with these credentials that I bring this information to you today.

BLOWING AWAY THE LIES ABOUT MAKING AN EBOOK

Misconception #1:  Just because the information is available for free scattered around the net, there's no sense making an ebook in the same market. 

NOT TRUE. There are a number of reasons I would rather buy consolidated, up-to-date information than spend hours or days trying to track this stuff down. 

1) I want to save time.  My time is worth anywhere from $300-$400/hour on average - so if I can pay $97, $497 or even $997 to save me days of work, then it's worth it to me.  I encourage any of you to work out your current or desired cost of time - once you do, you'll look at packaged information in a different light

2) For the average internet surfer in non-internet marketing niches, they simply do not know how to find the free information that may be available - so they will value that you have offered it to them in one place - simple and valuable

3) Your customers want to buy from someone they trust - they want to believe in YOU to show them the way, are you positioning yourself to be THE one they can trust?  In busy markets (weight loss for example) there are hundreds of thousands of different options for users to take - they simply want to get one trusted approach to getting results, even if it overlaps with some free information out there. 

So, when you think of what you do simply as communicate information, you are missing the main psychology, purpose and business surrounding information publishing - you are not JUST providing information, you are providing guidance, advice and hope to someone who wants to overcome pain or achieve more pleasure in their life.  You, my friend, are about to become the "Pleasure Doctor!"

Misconception #2:  You Have To Already Be A Big Name To Make It Big With An Ebook…

The issue with this is that 99% of the big names you now see selling ebooks or infoproducts in any market didn't start out to be big names - making an ebook helped them get there.

In fact, when I first started out online I had a name in offline course development in the corporate space, but had 0 reputation or identity in IM.  Within a few weeks of launching my first ebook back in 2000 I had BIG names in IM on the other end of my phone, interviews in play, they were promoting my work (and many of them still do today).  I would argue the exact opposite of this misconception is true, that if you WANT to create a big name for yourself in a given market, you NEED to have your own infoproduct. 

Having your own ebook or infoproduct will gain you credibility, connections, trust, partners, publicity, prestige which all conspire to put more money in your wallet. 

Misconception#3 eBooks are Over-priced

Ahh…I love when I see this comment because it gets to the heart of the matter and what truly can turn you from an ebook writer into an information publishers and teacher. 

People will pay **some** money to be informed, they will pay **more** money to be guided and they will pay **huge** money to have it done for them. 

Think about any challenge or opportunity people have in life where the desire level is high…it's worth something to them to find out all about how to tackle the challenge, it's worth more to have a blueprint in place to follow to make achieving the end result more likely, faster and simpler and they will pay huge money to have a guaranteed results by using proven templates, tools or consulting services.

When you begin thinking like an information publisher instead of just an ebook writer then you understand what you really are is a "results coach" for your reader or student.  When you focus on getting results for your reader, all sorts of high-end opportunities open up and yes, there is big money to be made. 

Getting back to the simple ebook or report - if your written product provides insight, techniques, blueprints, templates, gotcha's, etc… that can get your prospect from point A to point Z and point Z is where they have a massive desire to be, then yes, you can charge accordingly.

Hopefully this has helped some of you reading…when you follow our 45-day Information Product Profits Blueprint over at InfoMarketer'sZone you will discover the exact steps, techniques and tools you need to further overcome these mis-conceptions and reach your goal of making an ebook a fun reality instead of a frustrating goal.

That's right, I'm going to share some techniques with you that take the pain out of writing non-fiction, but before I do, let me assure you I am not telling you that you can sit down for an hour a few times a week and have yourself a top selling non-fiction book or ebook in 7-days…but what I AM going to share with you are 3 simple, highly effective non-fiction writing techniques that can turn what may have been a 6-month effort into a 30-day effort with virtually no frustration.

Imagine that, actually enjoying the process of writing your non-fiction book, manual or home study course?  It's true, no matter how much non-fiction may frustrate you today or how much you may detest the very thought of writing - you can have your own non-fiction product on the market within weeks NOT months. 

When we share these techniques with our private members over at InfoMarketer'sZone, they can't believe how much easier writing their infoproducts becomes AND they see huge results in how they sell once their non-fiction products are released. 

I've lost count, but the number is surely greater than 40 when I count how many non-fiction books, ebooks, manuals, courses, presentations, audio and video products I've produced for other entrepreneurs and my own online businesses. 

The first ones went slowly and weren't all that well constructed…in other words I spent 10X more than I should have spent on non-fiction products that didn't directly address what my readers wanted in the first place which was…

FULFILLING PASSIONATE, INSANE DESIRES

When we buy non-fiction products (with the exception of biographies), we are typically buying someone's experience, knowledge and methods we secretly believe can help us achieve a desired goal in our life. 

It could be getting a better job, starting a business, making more money, losing 10 lbs, attracting the opposite sex, impressing those around you, lower your golf score, improve your relationship with your kids….

Our decision to buy into this solution is done based almost entirely on emotion - it is just that emotion that we need to target to become expert non-fiction writers AND it is this knowledge of how to target our audience that helps us know exactly how to quickly write our non-fiction book in a tremendously focused way.

Here are 3 of the most powerful non-fiction writing tips we've learned from over 10-years of first-hand experience:

1. Have a specific goal in mind that you would like the reader to have achieved by the end of your non-fiction book.  Actually write it out, by the end of this book I want my reader to be able to "…."  Spend some time studying your marketplace to find out what are the real, underlying desires within your marketplace and pick the one that is the most significant that you can address with your non-fiction writing project. 

2. Now break down the major steps you need to build to help your reader achieve ultimate fulfillment of their goal - these steps will become the major chapters organized to bring maximum value to your readers while tightly focusing your research and writing.  THis way you can actually outline your chapter purpose well in advance of actually sitting down to write.

3. OK, here's where things get really powerful and exciting…break each chapter into a series of 10-12 questions your reader would ask on their way to understanding the main objective for that chapter.  Where do you get these questions?  From your own understanding of the topic, homeschooling discussion forums, blogs on your topic, magazines or newsletters on the topic, etc…

Go back and re-read these 3 simple steps for making non-fiction writing a breeze.  Inside InfoMarketer'sZone we work to fine-tune each step and offer advanced techniques for discovering the best topics, positioning your information for maximum profit and marketing your non-fiction product before, during and after you release your project. 

Take another look at these steps, do you notice something interesting?

Did you catch it?  We are actually working backward to how most people work when they sit down to write a book. 

We are actually starting with the end state of the reader in mind - great non-fiction products fulfill desires for their readers, if that is to happen you must begin with the end in mind.  You must know what desire you will fulfill working backward to make sure you outline your non-fiction book or ebook according to that end plan. 

I guarantee you, using this blueprint to outline your non-fiction writing will reduce your writing time by at least 10X, allow for more effective part-time writing, eliminate writer's block, make your product much more effective and successful and you will substitute enjoyment for frustration making you even more motivated to keep writing. 

Let us know how this system works for you.

Most of us can find an extra 30-60 minutes in our day, the question is what should we be doing with this time?  My answer is, you should write a book.

And not just one book, but you should always be writing your next book - and here's why.

Writing a book is profitable.

Over at InfoMarketer'sZone we outline a system for anyone to follow to write a top selling ebook, report, book or other information product in 45-days or less that they can sell for between $27 and $67 or more. 

45-days, that's just 6-weeks.  We could even assume an extra week or two for your first book, just to be on the conservative side.  So, within 2-months you have written your book and can be spending your time processing orders and planning your next book project.

What do you get in return for that 6-8 weeks of effort? 

Let's say that conservatively you sell your book or ebook online for $47 and you manage to move just 30 copies (in reality, if you follow the system we outline over at InfoMarketer'sZone you should be moving double or even triple that number).  The math works out to just more than $1400/month or about an extra $17,000 each year. 

Remember, this is a very conservative estimate that doesn't take into account many factors including growth in sales, more aggressive marketing, a higher-priced product, or any other income that comes your way as a result of launching a top selling book in your marketplace such as affiliate sales (you recommend products like yours and earn a percentage of the profits), advertising and consulting services not to mention joint ventures, etc…

On the upside, you have the potential to earn 3-4 times that amount with a hot product and some decent marketing using some of the advanced techniques we teach within InfoMarketer'sZone. 

In any case, could you use an extra $17,000 (at least) this year for putting in 6-8 weeks of work with an hour or so a day?  Instead of watching Donald Trump on the Apprentice, you can actually be building your own income and developing a growth business where YOU control your income level.

In our business, we roll out about 4 books a year in different market segments and tend to blow way past the conservative estimates used here - so you get the idea of how much potential there is with this business.  Oh, and by the way, my own products account for about 33% of my income with the remainder coming from affiliate marketing, and coaching services - this can happen for you too.

Writing a book is launch pad…

Are you looking to change careers, or perhaps start a business where YOU are in control and can leverage the efforts of others instead of others always using your energy and creativity to become wealthy?

I have to tell you, this is why I build businesses.  It's very simple, either you are working to make someone else rich or you are in control and others are helping build you a fortune. 

Think about it…with any business, not only are you earning daily cashflow and profits, you are building equity that can make you anywhere from 3 to 10 times it's current ability to generate revenue.  That means in 2-years time when you are bringing in $100,000 in combined income from your books, membership sites, services and websites your business is actually worth at least 3-5 times more and could be worth as much as $1Million should you have to (or wish to) cash out and retire early.

Talk about financial security!  There's no possible way - no matter how good a job you have right now - that within 2-3 years you could sock away enough dough to retire at 40, but with solid business building you really can because your equity grows many times greater than your profits. 

Writing a book is fun, exciting and satisfying…

It's not all about money is it?

If you are going to be putting time into anything for the next months, you want it to be fun, positive, healthy, exciting and satisfying.  There's no sense building a $100,000/year information product business by writing books if you have to give up the fun in your life, or if you get nothing extra out of the time you spend is there?

With the information product marketing business you are helping people solve challenges and fulfill desires.  Using our 45-day Information Product Profits Blueprint, we help you focus on niche markets and topics that have a very high level of desire AND that you are passionate enough about to make the "work" seem like play.  That's important because your business will become much larger, much faster when you are on a mission to help your customers and thoroughly enjoying the journey.

I have to be honest, I can't wait to get the the few hours each morning I block out for writing…this is the most enjoyable part of my day.  Not because I love to write, but because through the system we use I know that I am producing content that will truly help someone achieve something better in their life - and for that I will be paid very well. 

I get asked often - should I write a book because I really don't know how to write and don't like to sit down and write. 

That doesn't matter at ALL because building a juggernaut information product marketing money machine is all about finding desire, creating a unique way to address the desire and then filling in the blanks.  The actual content could be written by you, but it could also come from existing sources, outsourced to experts, or even created through other means such as interviews or simply narrated. 

Writer's starve while infoproduct entrepreneurs rise to the top - and I can tell you having created ebooks, reports, books, home study courses, audio packages, videos and membership sites for over 8-years now - there is so much truth in that saying.

We are not in the "writing" business, we are in the information publishing business which simply means you put together highly tailored information targeting major desires and you get paid premium upon premium for this function alone. 

If you've been curious or even mildly interested in striking out and using your extra 30-60 minutes each day to build a business online, then head over to InfoMarketer'sZone and discover the exciting and lucrative world of information marketing. 

Oh yes, and if you have always wanted to write a book, then learn what it will take to write a book that is useful as well as highly profitable so you can spend even more time writing your next one.

I get asked frequently for my opinion and review of 1ShoppingCart - an integrated online shoppingcart to manage multiple digital and physical products, autoresponder and list manager, and affiliate management platform - so I went ahead and completed a detailed review of this package. 

I've been using 1ShoppingCart for over 3-years now and manage most of my business through their shopping cart, use their autoreponders (although not exclusively) and use it to manage a very active affiliate program of thousands of affiliates. 

This is a very honest review of 1ShoppingCart containing both the good and the not so good - though most of it is good or would have found an alternative. 

If you have any questions that I did not cover in the review, be sure to post them as comments to this blog posting and I'll make sure I update the review.

Note that 1ShoppingCart has a number of privately branded front-end partners to their service - the back-end is all the same operated by 1ShoppingCart though the front end may be named something else.  For example, the service I use is 1AutomationWiz - a privately branded version of 1ShoppingCart where you get some extra training and support via one of their top partners. 

If you are already at the point where you want to give 1ShoppingCart a first-hand look - go ahead and setup a 30-day trial and you'll be able to use the full system to see if it meets your needs.
