Information Products - Why Aren't You Creating Them?

I'm feeling a little excited right now. Well, maybe more than a little excited. You see, I've spent months working on an information product. I took Kevin Riley's course, and although he says it can be done in a matter of days, I wanted it to be perfect. So I kept adding to it and making it better.

Finally I decided enough is enough, I just need to get the thing out there. I still wasn't sure how to do my own sales page or anything like that. I've finally written the sales letter, but uploading without losing the graphics is proving to be a bit of a challenge. Anyway, I uploaded it as a digital product to Lulu to sell. Then I decided to offer it as a physical soft cover book. I never could get the graphic right for the book, so opted for one of their covers. The result was "How To Create Newsletters Your Grandkids Will Treasure".

The point is, I did it. And today it came in the mail! It's notebook size, 54 pages of nice thick, shiny paper and looks amazing. All the images and screenshots inside are very clear looking and the text is easy to read.

Can you tell how proud I am of my first real live book? Think I need to order a few of these and start selling them offline too. And am I motivated now to start writing another one!

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So
