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!

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

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
