Why not? 

We know the systems work.

We teach and support every client so that they WILL succeed with their goals.

The system includes tools, video training and even ongoing support – seemingly, everything you need to turn yourself into the next Million dollar information product publisher on the internet.

But that doesn't happen in every case and we see why…so here are 3 Tips that high earning information product publishers put into action – and that YOU can use to make sure you follow in their footsteps fast.

1. They match a commercially viable desire to be, have, do something pleasurable (or avoid something painful) with a personal PASSION!  Look back in history at the greatest earners…

From Rockefeller who was passionate about operational and business efficiency and philanthropy (giving 10% of his earnings from the very biggining with much more later) to Bill Gates who saw a PC in everyone's home knowing the impact on communication and on our lives should this reality occur – your quest to build a wealth creation internet business must rest on an underlying passion for your customer, your product and/or your business. 

2. Thinking BIG! Wealth creators think well beyond where others think. 

Here's an example, the normal way of thinking when you start your information product marketing business is to write an ebook and put up a website so you can sell a couple of thousand dollars worth of your $27 ebook. 

Thinking BIG would mean you would start with a clear, unshakable vision of what your business will ultimately end up to be…even if it takes longer than you expect.  So – instead of a $27 ebook you would be thinking of a Multi-Million training company that is taking the principles you use to help someone achieve something (or avoid pain) in their life where you have a multitude of products and services that you spin out…some of which are 100% yours, some of which are joint ventures and others that you completely license out keeping a percentage of the profits while someone else builds your wealth passively. 

3. Network and collaborate.  In today's day and age collaboration is more important (and easier) than ever.  An affiliate relationship here, a joint venture there, a virtual assistant contract, a co-marketing agreement, and so on… 

If you spend your valuable time thinking BIG and fulfilling your passion, it is equally important that you work in a constant state of "purposeful collaboration".    I say PURPOSEFUL because networking for the sake of networking, and collaborating with just anyone for any purpose is not productive and can be quite distracting.  Instead, if you have a clear purpose and clear BIG idea, you can then attract those who you can bring along with you on your journey to wealth and expand your internet business. 

Wealth comes to those who think BIG, act with PASSION and seek to share their wealth through purposeful collaboration…are you up to the task?

Mix these 3 critical info product money-making actions with a highly effective support, training and resource system and you have all the makings of building your own information product marketing empire.

"I tried that once and nearly lost my shirt!"

"It only took me 5-days and I had lost $500 on Google Adwords with nothing to show for it!"

Another common complaint is that Google places your cost per clicks so high that you were not even wanting to play the game at those outrageous cost per clicks.

Yet, what we don't hear are the success stories of people spending $1,000/month and seeing $3,000 in profit returning as a result of their testing or successful use of pay-per-click testing to find highly profitable keywords that served to lay the foundation for your future SEO and internet marketing plans.

Why the discrepency?

What could so many people be doing wrong that leads to losing money with pay-per-click.

As we use pay-per-click for launching, testing, refining and profit generation within the information marketing systems outlined inside Info Product Marketing Zone, we have seen 5 very common mistakes that are directly impacting most people's profits when using PPC.

1. Poorly written headlines.  How much you will pay for clicks to reach the top listings for your keywords and campaign will heavily depend on 2 things — 1) The relevancy of your ad to a high quality landing page and 2) The ability of your ad to attract attention and illicit a click through.  In the first few days of a new campaign you must have the highest degree of relevancy between your ad (and its headline is very important) and your landing page.  Once your campaign is rolling, your click through rate plays a strong roll in what you will pay per click for your keywords.  Headlines need to grab attention, tap into interest and make a big promise to fulfill the desire of your visitors.  Of course, this must all be done with relevance to your offer – it's great to get 100's of clicks, but we ultimately want conversions (list sign-ups and/or sales). 

2. Configuration of your campaign.  A common mistake when setting up your campaign is to sellect either "All Countries" or "All Languages" – do not do this! Most countries outside of US, Canada, UK, and Australia will not lead to sales and will simply reduce your profits. 

3. Failing to split test your ads.  Running a single ad against a keyword is just crazy when Google Adwords gives you the ability to setup multiple ad options and automatically split-tests your traffic across those ads.  Use these to try out subtle (or not so subtle) ad options to discover which ones ultimate pull the best click through rate and conversions for you.

4. Going small and grouping your keywords into one Ad Group.  Starting with 10 or 20 keywords lumped into one Ad Group with one landing page and one set of ads is NOT the right way to go.  Instead, we have been much more successful starting wide – 200 or 300 keywords at least, organizing them into separate Ad groups per keyword, writing ads against themes (as opposed to one ad for all) and having separate landing pages across the multiple themes.  This not only keeps your cost per click way down, but it makes testing and tracking much easier and improves profitability sooner.  We outline all the steps over at The Information Marketing Zone. 

5. Crappy, boring, plain, irrelevant or unrealistic landing pages.  Yes, if you have had any experience with pay per click advertising or any traffic generation for that matter, you'll know the importance of your landing page and its ability to turn visitors into action-taking subscribers and customers.  Most important is that your landing page is completely in-line with what your ad promises AND is crystal clear about what you want them to do (opt-in, click-through or buy something) and what the benefit for them will be once they take that action. 

6. BONUS TIP — I only said 5 didn't I…but here is a very important one.  You must have a system for finding, testing, refining, dropping, analyzing and accelerating the profit potential for the traffic that keywords generate to your websites.  For example, not all keywords have the same commercial value…some have "clues" that they will be used by more aggressive buyers to find your offerings.  Another example, you can judge a keyword's profit potential within 70-100 clicks 90% of the time if you know what you are looking for.  That way, you can either spot a winner or eliminate a loser within days of launching your campaign instead of letting them milk you dry for days and weeks to come.

Until you have been through in-depth, pay-per-click training and have lots of experience with different products and campaigns, it's tough to know the little things that will make the difference between losing $1000 and making profits two or three times that amount. 

Exclusively to help our information marketing experts at InfoMarketer'sZone we put together an SEO Process GuideBook that goes through the entire pay-per-click profit maximizer in depth…if you are ready to start your next campaign, it really is worth a review and can make the difference between losing and winning campaigns.  Get it here.

Given the challenges in today's economy, the desire to open up additional streams of income has never been greater and the great news is that within 1-2 months you can do just that by starting your own internet business.

Now the downside – the way most beginners enter the market will turn out to be a big waste of time – using free reprint rights products or getting caught up in internet business scams or systems is just NOT the way to create a successful online business.

DECIDING ON YOU INTERNET BUSINESS IDEA

The toughest part of getting started for most online marketers is to choose an Intenet Business Idea – not a niche market, not a product (at first), not a website design, etc…

There are two ways to do this…

1. You can research the heck out of a market – look at what people are asking for, what are they buying, what challenges and frustrations do they have, but most of all…what do they WANT to be, have, do or become that they are not today

Once you find these desired outcomes, then look for evidence that things are really selling in that space.

It may be information products – books, audio and video programs or it may be physical goods – there are ways of supplying all of these, the key is to know what people are buying.

2. A second approach is to enter a market with an affiliate program that is already proving to be a hot seller.

For example, you can head over to Clickbank.com/marketplace and quickly find the most popular ebooks and info products by category. 

Knowing that there is demand around the outcome these products provide, you can go ahead and launch an affiliate marketing campaign which typically involves – a landing page which may be a review or overview of the product, an opt-in offer so you can build a list, a redirection to your chosen affiliate product and extensive traffic generation to uncover the keywords that produce the most referral buyers for you.

Now, the good part about the second approach is that you are refining your marketing into that marketspace based on a product you know sells – once you get things humming along, then the next step is to add additional products and services into your funnel.

Where the affiliate product is a $47 ebook, you can add a $97 audio/video package on the topic, *you could even have this developed for you" – or start a membership site around it, launch a consulting service, hold a teleseminar on the topic and record it…and so on.

I've seen both approaches work extremely well, the second method is a little less riskier since you remove one of the variables from the model – you are starting with a proven hot selling info product. 

Whatever the choice, we have complete, detailed, easy-to-follow video tutorials, tools, templates and ongoing support over at InfoMarketer'sZone - this really is the best fast-track system for starting and quickly growing your info product business online.  We've had comments from our members that they have wasted years trying to find the information that they put to immediate use within this powerful site – take a look here.

You can start internet marketing right now and have your first profit-center up and running within 45-days – why not get things rolling today!

1. How quick and easy it is to produce digital (or even physical) information products these days
2. How profitable it is to operate an info product business with low advertising, distribution, fulfillment, shipping and other fixed/variable costs
3. The prestige associated with having your name on a book, home study course, audio or video package
4. How today's technology will let you produce digital and physical products from your home with as little as a few hundred dollars in start-up costs
5. How wonderful it is to not have to build a company with whining, high-maintenance employees but rather by yourself or with a group of eager, hard-working freelancers anywhere in the world

Ok, so this is all true, and from someone who has 12 different information products in 4 different markets and regularly has the benefit of coaching hundreds of working information entrepreneurs inside InfoMarketer'sZone - let me tell you these are wonderful benfits.

But…there's something else that makes it EVEN BETTER to be in the info product marketing business.

It is simply that the days you begin selling your first ebook seminar, home study course, video or other "how to", information based products you will be seen as the EXPERT in your field and will get immediate questions, feedback, opinions and comments from your customers and subscribers.

Why is this SO GREAT? 

How about…a never ending supply of the highest quality market research into exactly what your customers MOST DESIRE, most want to see in future products and services and MOST want to pay you to provide them. 

By releasing your own ebook or info product you are, in fact, turning on a tap to future profits that uniquely positions you to take full advantage of the top money-making position in your marketplace.

You gain the trust of your subscribers and customers – with that trust comes a unique and highly valuable information source that cannot be bought or otherwise acquired…

So, the message my friends is….get your first info product out into the world and you will never want for product ideas, or income again.

In short, you can match your existing knowledge and experiences with huge market demand in several markets online…packaging your information for profit is so much easier today in this era of ebooks and digital information products.

ebook creation

I wouldn't have thought I would be writing ebooks on a Sunday afternoon, but the Spring hasn't quite hit here yet, I try and work on my ebook businesses between important family and personal time and with a list of more than 60 topics that are ripe for the picking on my current shortlist, ebook creation is fun this afternoon.

About a week ago I was surfing around some of the sites I like to use to mind new niche markets for information products and landed on Psychology Today - publishers of the popular magazine by the same name.

I have to tell you, when I get someone new to InfoMarketer'sZone or one of my coaching clients says "I want to begin my ebook creation business but I can't decide on a market or topic…" then this is where I send them.

Immediately, 4 topics jumped out at me as potential opportunities.  Here are two of them…

1. Controlling Anger

2. How To Keep The Small Stuff From Driving You Crazy!

Yah…those are good. 

Why?

Because they are…

• Widespread problems, lots of people are undergoing these challenges
• They are highly emotional – people with anger management or undue stress are desparate for solutions which means they will buy…
• These two topics are at the top of the most popular article pile over at Psychology Today – that tells you there is built-in demand
• They are both topics that are timely in terms of today's social and economic environment – and they are lasting problems that will continue to be challenges years from now (which means your ebook creation effort will be leveraged over many months and years of profit)

Low and behold, there is another section on the very first page of the website called "Diagnosis Dictionary" under which the major headings are ALL great candidates for ebook creation topics – they include:

• Attention Deficit
• Aging
• Anxiety or Panic Attacks
• Relationship Issues
• Etc…

All we need to do is check over at Clickbank Marketplace and we'll see that there are dozens of top selling ebooks forsale right now on these topics – not suprisingly, these are among the top topics of all on the massive ebook directory. 

What's best about using this approach to finding hot ebook ideas is that they have built-in demand which means your goal to sell ebooks is much simpler when your customers seek you out instead of you having to find them and convince them to buy.

What am I working on?

I've simply selected a topic that interests me (but one that I am NOT an expert on), checked that there are existing products selling well, identified a gap in how the current products tackle this challenge, do some primary market research by spying on a few discussion forums and surveying my market – then wham…within 2-3 weeks I have a complete outline for a top selling ebook that I can research myself, look for public domain content or have written by a freelancer for a couple hundred dollars. 

Where's the fun?

If that wasn't fun enough for you, imagine finishing the ebook creation project, listing your ebook on Clickbank and seeing a few sales each day come in for your $37 ebook. 

Now, that means another $2.000-$3,000/month in pure profit in your pocket – I bet it's not hard for your mind to start imagining a few of these businesses on the go and some additional back-end sales you can generate by expanding your ebook marketing business into marketing other people's add-on products and services.

That's a $100K/year business – and it all started with one simple 40-50 page ebook creation project on a Sunday afternoon? 

Yes, that's exactly how this business starts. 

Take a look at what the members of InfoMarketer'sZone are enjoying to help them fast-track their ebook creation projects – systems, techniques, tools and support for every aspect of marketing ebooks for profit from idea and ebook topic selection through advanced ebook marketing techniques – it's all there. 

So, if you are finally fed up with your current job, financial situation or just want something more fun and fulfilling to do with your time, now you know why ebook creation can be more fun than anything else you may have to do on a Sunday afternoon!

He has been working like a dog for 8-years (Yes, you are seeing correctly, 8-years) working a full-time job with frequent overtime, hating his job, bouncing from business opportunity to business opportunity, bootcamp to bootcamp and program to program yet has never made any more than a couple of hundred dollars online.

He wasn't quite sure how much he had spent on different systems, but guessed that is was more than $10,000.

Frankly he was fed up, completely frustrated, at wits end because he had two kids with a third on the way and his only source of income (the job that he hates, yet has to work like a dog to pay the bills) is on thin ice and given the economy, he may not have that source of income for long.

At the same time he has become so jaded by the various guru's, products and systems he's bought into and for whatever reason, has not been able to make work.  Yes, he had a dream to make money online, but…

There was an even bigger problem…

He was looking for a system that handed him a complete "business on a stick".  No wonder he hadn't found the ideal system in over 8-years of looking, he was waiting for someone to hand him a market, idea, product, website, email campaign, source of traffic – it's kind of like standing on a street corner expecting someone to just write you a check for $100,000 with no reason whatsoever!

Is that going to happen, hmmm….

But many of us fall into this trap of expecting others (guru's, coaches, training systems, products…) to hand us a ready-made "business on a stick".

Ain't gonna happen my friend.

Not only that, but if marketing products and services on the internet is really a business that you will turn into a 6-7 figure venture, you wouldn't want it too…because you will be passionate about the process of building your business. 

Seriously,…the niche discovery, keyword research, market research, competitive analysis, content generation, and marketing are all part of building a business online and IF you want to succeed, then you need to enjoy this at some level rather than looking for someone to spoon feed you every answer. 

The most successful students we have taught in our 30-Day InfoMarketer's Quick-Start Program have been those that were passionate about building an information publishing business on the internet.  They didn't have experience, didn't have technical know-how, didn't have a product to start with – but took the information, tips and techniques included in the course and quickly devoured them putting them to immediate action and then refined the entire process to suit their own comfort zone and way of working.

Let me give you an example.

I was helping my son with his homework last night. It was basic math. He was struggling and I was so tempted to just give him the answer, but that wouldn't really help him would it? Yes, I can give him successful tips, shortcuts and lessons on HOW to do it, but giving him THE answer doesn't really help.

To be successful and make money online you need to…

1. Enjoy building your business on the internet
2. Learn the ropes so you can build bigger and better than your competition

Let's look at some of the steps to successfully marketing online…

1. Uncovering niche markets
2. Discovering opportunities within those niche markets (Problems, challenges, desires)
3. Find solutions to these opportunities (existing products, your own system, licensed content, outsource content, etc…)
4. Organize the solutions into a workable, testable set of steps that will help your customers AND that you can PROVE will help them over time
5. Understand the different business models for monetizing your effort (free content + advertising and affiliate marketing or free content leading to your own products + upsell to higher-end and so on…)
6. Know how people search the web giving you insight into keyword phrases that you can test…turn the fuzziness of 100's of keywords into a science so that you KNOW which keywords are most profitable)
7. Apply dozens of different traffic generation techniques targeting the keywords you discovered are most profitable in #6

These are the steps that will lead to success, the steps that will make money online…if you look at any successful internet marketer they have followed this plan in some shape or form. 

Sure, in some cases, they already had their niche market because they were ahead of the game…but the steps remain the same.

Before you lament about your lack of progress, your setbacks, the money you have invested in help and coaching that you haven't used and the amount of work that lies ahead, take a step back and look at make money online sequence I outlined above. 

Do those steps excite you?

Are you chomping at the bit to get rolling on mastering these steps?

Are you willing to tackle each of these steps to accomplish your end goal?

If the answer is no, then re-visit your decision to build an internet business.

If the answer is yes, then jump in with both feet and get moving – this business will seem like a cakewalk to you because you will love doing it each and every moment.

If you don't know, then dip your toe in the water, give it a real try and you'll soon find out. 

Those who make the most money online are passionate about the process, they are passionate about their business…nothing else will do.

For example, you could decide to create books or ebooks to sell online setting you up with your very own internet business that pays you each time someone visits your website and decides to buy your info product. 

Packaging information is a highly profitable, very rewarding online business model that is especially attractive because you leverage a few weeks work into many months (even years) of sales.    Imagine you create how to ebooks on your favorite hobby, overcoming a challenge in your life, a parenting or reltionship technique you have learned from experience, you put it up on the internet, create a webpage and collect 95% profit each time someone buys your ebook. 

Before you can create infoproducts, put up a website, setup a blog or make any money with your internet business you must have uncovered a niche market that has built-in demand for information and be able to reach them. 

We've had our own info products offline and online for over 15-years now ranging from customer service training courses through weight loss programs, recipe books to sites like this information marketing training system that help others use the methods and techniques we've used to build their own high-profit internet business marketing information. 

The absolute best part about uncovering a hot niche market for your info products is that making sales will take far less effort and people are willing to pay MORE money for your information because their desire is RABID! 

There are dozens of ways to uncover niches that have proven demand for buying information – we share those all over at InfoMarketer'sZone, but today lets just look at one method where we have extracted 10 ideas to create infoproducts in less than 5-minutes.

CREAT INFOPRODUCTS WITH THESE 10 NICHE MARKET IDEAS

For today, here are 10 topics that we pulled from searching through Yahoo Answers for less than 5-minutes…the good news about these topics is that they come directly from web users who are actively searching for information on these topics.

1. How do we deal with cyber-bullying

2. What are the things to think about when you are planning a wedding?

3. What are the basics about home schooling?

4. How come I only feel good one in 10 days, can I not feel better more often?

5. Recommended pain control techniques for expectant mothers?

6. What can I do to have a chance of being a pro wrestler?

7. How do I survive a breakup with my boyfriend/girlfriend?

8. How do I know if we are compatible – that we will make a good couple?

9. What things should I keep in mind to make internet dating successful?

10. How can I better control or get rid of migraine headaches?

Guys – these are questions that have multiple responses, many of them have multiple requests for answers demonstrating demand and urgency of desire behind their request for information.

What should you do next if you choose one of these topics?

Assess the level of competition, find evidence of other related info products, outline your product, quickly put together a short ebook and launch your product. 

For example, the question about relationships should lead you over to Clickbank.com Marketplace where you can input different relationship keywords and see how ebooks on Clickbank are selling. 

Near the top of the most popular results is a book called "The Magic Of Making Up (Get Your Ex Back" – which is one of the most popular and hottest selling ebooks of the 30,000 plus info products listed. 

Should you create infoproducts around that niche?  Assuming you find proven signs that users are buying information on that topic AND we can reach them through email, search marketing or other advertising methods, AND assuming you have some level of interest in being active in this niche market, then yes – go ahead and create info products to get your internet business rolling.

How simple is it to package your information into a report, ebook or book?  Let's just say the methods we share within this InfoProduct Training System will have you marketing your first (or next) info product online in less than 30-days…Guaranteed!
