Are
you a frustrated entrepreneur? You have the desire, enthusiasm,
business skills and passion you will need to be a huge success,
but there is one major obstacle blocking your way -- what do you
sell?
You are not alone. The top concern of most budding entrepreneurs
is finding high-profit, easy-to-ship products they can market
for fast profits. You will be amazed to know that you can have
your own hot selling product in days by packaging information
you already have. Want to know how?
Here are three powerful techniques you can use right away
to develop your own hot selling product ideas, whether they
lead to books, reports, newsletters, audios, videos, workshops,
courses or subscription-based web sites. Successful entrepreneurs
such as Yanik Silver, Marlon Sanders and Corey Rudl have used
these techniques, now you can use them too.
Success Tip #1: Package information about your hobby. Hobbies
are rich sources of hot selling information products.
Why?
• You have intimate knowledge of your subject matter
• You have a deep understanding of what other hobbyists
will want to buy - because you want it too!
• Passion and interest will make this fun, not work
• Your personal experiences and hands-on knowledge will
add credibility and value to your information
• You know your audience. This gives you a tremendous
advantage positioning your products
• You know how to access your market, because you are
already there.
• You are committed to this market, because it´s
what you love to do
There have been many hot selling information products developed
based on this technique including a book on horses, an electronic
book on gardening, a super successful web design book and many
others. Why not profit from your fun?
Success Tip #2: Develop a product based on your career knowledge.
Ironically, many entrepreneurs looking to escape their jobs
overlook the fact that they have gained substantial knowledge,
experience and contacts into their career space.
It´s not necessarily the market you hate about your jobs,
but rather the limits current employment places upon you. Try
altering your perception and think as if you are an expert in
your career market. What problems need to be solved? What do
people really want in that market space? What types of information
did you seek out when you were employed in this area? Put yourself
in the place of your customers, what would they pay any price
for?
Don´t overlook the value of your experience and knowledge,
no matter how much frustration or anger you may have over your
career. Who knows, perhaps ideas based on your career market
will allow you to one day buy the company
you used to work for.
Success Tip #3: Create Your Own Brand. Large corporations
do it. Pepsi, Coke, Ford tough, BMW. You know these product
manufacturers because they have deployed branding techniques
to set them aside from their competition. So why not brand yourself.
Here are some simple techniques you can use to brand yourself
through information products:
• Break your information into a series of easily understood
steps
• Develop a label for your series of steps - the PROGRESS
system for productive meetings
• Label your system using a catchy phrase (Ex. Chicken
Soup for the Soul Series)
• Use your own name as label for your solution. Good approach
if backed by a service you provide
• Carry your solution through to multiple information
products. Label solution applicable to multiple problems
• Market your labeled solution everywhere. This is your
brand.
Developing your own brand is an incredibly powerful method
for increasing your credibility, adding value (and profit) to
your products, assuring long-term success as your brand spreads
virally, and gaining the free publicity that is such
an important marketing technique to massively growing your business.
Creating your information products is not difficult if you
stick with what you know, and apply proven methods for creating
hot selling ideas. There are many techniques you can use to
develop products that will sell at almost any price, these 3
will get you started right away.
