CREATING INCOME STREAMS FROM HOME

INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF CREATING INCOME STREAMS FROM HOME |
|
CREATING A PLAN – WHERE ARE YOU NOW AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING? |
This is an overview of where you’re heading – you see it has been suggested by people far more intelligent than I that if you simply create a sort of "top level goal" for yourself then your mind, having something to aim for, is more likely than not to make it happen.
Perhaps you’re still trapped in a job – include in your plan how you will make time for your business. Can you shift to a part time job (and can you afford it)? How do you plan to raise finance? Are there any areas in your life that you can moderate to help fit in your new plans for a highly successful new business?
Have you heard of a very famous old saying:
"If You Fail To Plan, Then You Plan To Fail"
Pure simplicity isn’t it? But also very, very true. It holds especially true when you begin a huge and demanding venture such as creating income streams from home. If you do not have some written blueprint that details HOW you will achieve $500 or $2,000, or $10,000 per month then how can you expect it to become reality? Your mind has nothing to aim for – your efforts will be inefficient and helter-skelter – and I’m sorry to suggest that you will probably not end up going very far (rather just become disillusioned and give up). Do NOT let this happen to you.
People who write down what they want to accomplish, more often than not, get there in the end. I don’t know why it’s this way…IT JUST IS. This isn’t something that I just pulled out of thin air – entire books have been written with this concept.
So before we go onto the powerful ways of creating an income stream in your PJ’s, why don’t we first spend 20 minutes or so to scribble a few things down in that new pad of yours.
Here’s an example of a very simple plan. Let’s say that I’m relying on my homes business to generate a part time income of $500 per month – I think most experts would agree that this is a fairly achievable target to get within a relatively short space of time. 17 sales of a $29 product would get you this target (that’s about a sale every 2 days). You could probably become something of an expert at just one of the home business methods described in this book and generate this cash target.
If you wanted something approaching a full time income (say $4,000 per month) your plan would be somewhat different – this is a more challenging target so your plan may be somewhat different (you would need to have access to high quality knowledge, resources and tools – but it is certainly achievable). You may want to investigate different methods of producing an income so that you have several streams of modest income all generating one large amount.
The point is, determine what you NEED. Then decide on what steps you must take to get to that place.
Don’t make the mistake of drifting aimlessly – a plan firmly imprints in your mind where you need to be going and above all it prompts you to take action.

THE CRITERIA TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN ASSESSING THE PERFECT HOME INCOME STREAM |
How many people do you know who say things such as "if only I had known, I would have done things differently" – they may mean it any number of contexts…their careers, their marriage, choice of team to support…etc
The fact is you don’t need a crystal ball to do things and create a happy ending for yourself. This is a huge world and there are opportunities to suit everyone when it comes to creating home income streams. The very fact that you wish to create an income from home for yourself suggests that you already have a broad vision of how you would like to earn money. Your biggest challenge now is to find something that suits you down to the ground…and of course avoid the masses of junk-information regarding earning from home.
There really ARE a huge number of ways of making money at home. Want to know the simple criteria I put in place to analyse a potential home income stream? Here’s what I look out for:
1. The income stream should be
easy to understand and should be available to set-up from home. Once set-up, there should be relatively little maintenance required – the money should start coming in almost on auto-pilot. With some (still promising) home income streams this is not always possible but it’s a real plus when you set something up and then sit back and watch it earn cash for you day in, day out.2. There should be
a very good future for the potential home income stream – is it in a thriving industry? Is it an in demand niche? You do not want to pour your efforts into something that ultimately, will not sell or create an income for you. Research is very important here and must be done before you get your feet wet.3. Preferably, the home income opportunity should be something that is not so over-exposed that everyone has heard of it (and is trying). The lesser known opportunities are often goldmines of income, but that’s not to say the more popular and known methods cannot be used as well.
4. The start-up and maintenance costs should be as close to zero as possible. It should not cost you a fortune to start up and operate the home business. Pick up a business opportunity paper such as "Daltons" and you will discover no end of franchise and business opportunities – I’m sure a lot of them are genuine but many cost several thousand dollars and more just to start up. The beauty of the internet is that you can set-up and operate a business from home at a tiny fraction of that.
5. The opportunity must be fully operable from home. No need to get hold of special grounds, an office e.t.c.
6. The income opportunity must be GLOBAL – you should be able to operate the business no matter where in the world you are.
You may want to add in your own criteria to the above (perhaps you need a business that can be done on a part time basis and so on). However, when you find a genuine home income opportunity that satisfies these criteria you may want to jump on it faster than a flea on a wet dog.

IT’S A LONG JOURNEY – YOUR ULTIMATE AIM SHOULD BE TO SET-UP NOT ONE BUT SEVERAL INCOME STREAMS…ALL PULLING IN MONEY FOR YOU 24/7 |
I’d like to share with you a few simple wealth building concepts that have worked extremely well for me. Just as building a plan is important to condition yourself for success, of equal importance is developing the correct mindset.
Mindset One – Aiming For Your Own Business Instead Of Being An Employee
Have you heard the common belief that a job is far more secure than having your own business? For some reason this myth is conditioned into many people, usually from a young age. Yes, a job provides a stable and predictable income – but more secure than having your own business? I don’t think so…and allow me to elaborate.
As someone who lives in the UK and who has worked in one of the worlds leading investment banks I am only too well aware of how fickle "job security" actually is. You see, as an employee your entire purpose is to create or save revenues for the company. There is nothing wrong with that of course, but let’s analyse it from your point of view shall we? As an employee you can never expect to earn the actual value that you make or save for your company. Most of your efforts will be reaped by shareholders of the organization you work for…people who you do not even know. When the going is good the most you can expect a modest pay-rise/bonus now and again and the odd promotion (that brings even greater responsibility).
But when the times get hard you may notice that not only does your pay-rise stop but in many cases you are required to work even harder. That’s if you’re lucky. Unfortunately for many people, they quickly find that job security simply does not exist – many will face redundancy at some point in their life. Then what? They have only one skill – chances are if the company they work for is shedding jobs so will others in the same industry.
All of a sudden the employee who thought they were safe in a decent job is left on the shelf fighting to get another elusive jobs among hundreds (sometimes more) of competing employees. Where is the security there?
Then there is the small matter of tax. As an employee you will earn money, get taxed on your earnings and then use whatever is left to pay for living expenses and so on. Not so for the business owner – (I am talking about the UK here and I suspect the US too). You see, a business is one of the secret weapons of the rich. A business makes revenues (the equivalent of an employees salary) and then deducts every possible expense related to that revenue before paying even a penny of tax. Can you see the beauty of this? Just a few things that can be written off against business profits include the following:
An employee could never do this. For example, even if as an employee you have a PC you cannot write it off against your income tax. There is an outstanding book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" that I strongly recommend that you get hold of. Read it once, twice, several times even. The basic premise of the book is the following…the poor and middle classes work for companies while the rich own companies.
Mindset Two – Multiple Streams Of Income Are Far Better Than Just One
We are fortunate enough to live in an age where almost anyone can set-up highly profitable income streams from their own study room. What is the most reliable and easiest way of
producing a large income stream? Have a number of different income streams all pulling in some cash for you each and everyday. This is very achievable and also presents a lot of security (in case in the future one of the income streams dries up).Mindset Three – Education, Education, Education!
You know the old saying "knowledge is power?" – it has never been more true, especially as we are now firmly entrenched in the "information age". The simple fact is that the more you educate yourself on different ways of making money, the more successful you will become at acquiring it. You are reading a really premium resource on ways of making money from home – but even after you have finished reading, make it a point to continue your education on a regular basis. I know of some people who make absolute fortunes online and they all share one interesting characteristic – the desire to learn more about the various ways of earning an income. Adopt this mentality and it will be only a matter of time before success and wealth hounds you down and forces itself on you. If you do thrive on video tutorials then check out some of these incredible online video tutorials. They would cost you over $200 if purchased separately (but are part of your membership with Instant Home Wealth).
Now we’re going to look at some of the proven ways that we can use to create income streams online, and from home.
Mindset Four – Develop A Winning Mind
This one is huge – the power of thought is absolutely incredible. If harnessed correctly, it WILL provide you with everything you could possibly ask for in life. Conversely, if used negatively it has the power to crush even the mightiest person.
Have you heard of a fellow named Jim Edwards? He is a very successful and influential online guru who has made a fortune earning a living using the power of the internet. A short while ago I signed up to his audio course called "Guaranteed Success Thinking". This course shows anyone how to think their way to success. As Jim himself says, this information should really be sold at $29 at least – however you can get hold of it for free below:

EBAY – ONE OF THE SIMPLEST WAYS OF EARNING YOUR FIRST THOUSAND DOLLARS ONLINE! |
Ebay may not be my preferred way of earning money online – there are ways that I will share with you that require less effort and will probably reap better rewards. So why have I put eBay as the first income stream that you should try out?
"eBay is the simplest and easiest way of earning your first $1,000 online"
Many people who now earn a six figure income from home started out here. Ebay illustrates the power of the internet. It shows you just how many people are out there who are ready and waiting to buy something from you. It’s a great way of inspiring confidence in yourself and set yourself up for bigger and better things. It’s also dead easy – you do not need a website or have any special skills other than following simple instructions.
Let me ask a question – and I’ll bet the answer is going to surprise you (it sure did surprise me!).
Q. What percentage of the worlds population do you think is online?
A. Under 5%!
Just think about that for a second – 95% of the world haven’t even gotten online yet. And yet the internet is already making some people – not large companies, but individuals like you and me – a FORTUNE. Don’t for a minute think that this happens easily – it takes time to find your own little niche online, to develop and perfect it – but it’s something you can do on a total shoe-string budget, and over time anyone that really wants to can carve out a nice little earning online. And looking at the bigger picture, as more and more of the worlds population comes online, imagine how successful your business will become as your potential customers grow by leaps and bounds, every single year.
Earning online is really quite beautiful when you think about it – here’s a chance for ANYONE with a PC and internet connection to plug in and start making money…enough to pay your bills, sure – but in some cases much more. And lets not forget the comfort factor – your own hours, not having a boss to answer to, not having to travel and more time with loved ones…. the list is endless.
The quickest and easiest way to earn money online is by selling on ebay – and you may just find that even as you develop other income streams you’ll still use Ebay to squeeze money from the internet whenever you wish.
Think of these facts – ebays gets a whopping 9,000 new customers signing up every day and gets 1.5 billion page views every month. And for roughly the cost of a daily newspaper you can promote your product to literally an endless source of customers – see that’s the great thing about ebay…they GIVE you the traffic that would be very difficult and expensive to get by yourself. All you do is plug in your advert click on send and a week or so later collect money from your customers.
If you’re completely new to eBay then don’t worry – Below, you can download books that will teach you how to become a virtual expert on eBay.

Money From Home Resource Vault - Ebay At the end of this book you will have access to the Money From Home Resource Vault.

The Ebay section has the following resources: Auction Big Book - A huge collection of wholesale sources to help you get started with your eBay income.

Resale Rights Products – Sell An Instant Empire Of Products In Hundreds Of Different Subjects To People Who Desperately Want & Need Specialized Information! |
You recall how we are in an era known as the information age of course. What is the most valuable commodity in this age? Information, of course. It is a fact that people are increasingly going online to buy information on all types of subjects to satisfy their needs. The great thing about the internet is that information can be offered at practically zero cost to you (the supplier) via digital download. Aside from passing on the savings to customers, as an information seller you have the power to reach millions of people at a practically negligible cost.
Selling information online is a work-from-home dream – it is facts such as the below that got me to start selling information online (and I have never looked back since):
As with all things, it is important to understand that there is a right and a wrong way to go about selling information (we’ll also look at more ways later on when we discover ways of profiting with highly specialized niche information products). There is a lot of misinformation about resale rights, so much so that some people have just given up trying to make money with them. That’s a shame but if you follow the advice in this book you can do very well for yourself.
"People from all walks of life are constantly looking for information to help improve their lives, make them feel better & fitter & to unlock the secrets of wealth"
Just understand one thing no matter what you may or may not hear about selling information through resale rights – present your product to the right target market in a unique way and you can become highly successful.
How To Set-Up Your Resale Rights Business The Correct Way & Start Earning Instant Profits
1. Choose Resale Rights & Private Rights With Limited Competition - The potential of resale rights and private label products really is huge – but there are also problems. For
The result? There is typically a price war – the products get sold for less and less as competition increases until the product is practically worthless and the resale rights holder is unable to profit from it anymore. The simple truth is that if you want to make outstanding profits with resale rights products you must make sure that the competition is highly limited for the products you sell.
You need to get hold of exclusive products that people haven’t seen – that is the one of the closely guarded secrets to making an utter fortune with resale rights products. This can be a very difficult thing to do because many info-product creators typically will sell their information with rights onto as many people as they can in order to maximize their profits. It then filters down the system – resale rights clubs pick them up first. Then the members of these clubs sell them on their own websites (often with master rights) and the eBay crowd also gets involved, typically selling the product for a few dollars (or even worse a few cents) – when that happens the resale potential of the product can really end up being ZILCH! Even if the product is absolutely fantastic (and there are some great ones out there that have suffered this unfortunate fate). To understand why this happens we must dig a little deeper and see the rules and conditions that the author of the product sets for resale of the product. Some authors place little or no restrictions in terms of who and where their products may be sold. If there are no minimum price constraints set then almost inevitably the product will end up on eBay with little or no perceived value (it can get so bad that people will not even want to download it for free!).
The last thing that you want as a reseller is to invest your limited budget in products that just about everyone else is also selling. It’s too difficult a way to make a living and it’s one of the first challenges that I had to overcome when I created my limited-membership Digital Resale Rights club. Limiting the competition to a strictly limited number of resellers was the ONLY way to make a significant income with even the best quality resale rights products so that’s
exactly what I did. It works great. It’s the equivalent of having a team of ghostwriters, copy-writers and web-design experts coming up with highly exclusive products for you to profit from each and every month. The markets are researched thoroughly to ensure that there is a huge demand compared to the highly restricted number of sellers with the exclusive rights to resell. Alternatively, if your budget allows it you can also have products designed for you from sites such as eLance – it can cost a couple of thousand dollars to come up with even one premium title but as long as you research the market in detail and retain exclusive rights it can be a good long term investment.2. Beware Of WHO You Purchase Resale Rights Products From - It seems these days that everyman and his dog are offering resale rights and master rights. There are a lot of "fly-by-night" type sellers who frankly only care about making a quick sale. The point is, before reselling any title you need to be absolutely sure that you DO actually have the rights to resell. I can tell you there have been more than a few times where I have seen resale rights packages offered with products where the reseller did NOT have rights to pass on. Typically, the reseller is not to know and unwittingly buys the product, offers it for sale (illegally) and has trespassed on the author’s rights without even knowing. It can lead to some nasty legal repercussions that you really want to avoid. The lesson to be learned here is be very sure you purchase rights from a reputable provider.
If this is an important issue with resale and master rights, it is equally so with private label rights. You may think you can get content on the cheap – but how do you know that the content you have purchased is not copyrighted? Again, it’s very serious to take content that you yourself have not produced unless you’re absolutely certain it is from a credible source. I fear that a lot more cases of copyrights will be unleashed over the next few years.
3. Find A Quality Host For Your Site – If you do not already have a web-host let me give you a hint from experience.
Cheaper is not always better!My first website host (whom I shall not name, although I would dearly love to
☺ was absolutely awful – the server would go down very often and sometimes for great lengths. I dread to think of how many sales this all cost me but I realized that having a cheap web-hosting service does not always pay dividends. I did what a lot of the newbies reading this will want to do – set-up with the cheapest possible host. No, No NO! Please do not do this – as I have learned through experience, just about anyone can set-up a hosting company from home. It could quite easily be operated from Homer Simpson’s garage. Do you really wish to trust your business with an unproven host like I first did? My advice is that you shop around and find something that suits your needs.Incidentally, in case you’re in need of a highly reliable and all in one hosting solution for your site I highly recommend Kavi’s Ultimate Marketing Center. Aside from the quality hosting, you get a suite of additional features such as ad trackers, auto-responders, affiliate management systems and far more. Above all, Kavi’s customer service is fantastic.
4. A Few Words About Getting Resale Rights Based On Public Domain Content – Before starting this I have to say that I am something of a fan of the potential behind using works in the Public Domain to create your own products. In fact I have been studying Public Domain for a while now (click here to see the same resource that I have tutored myself with on Public Domain).
Yes, there is STUNNING potential with it as you will find out when you read the above report but I will say straight up, there are also problems. Major problems. One of the problems is that I have noticed an ever increasing number of "Public Domain cowboys" – people who literally check a general public domain site for resources and then slap together an info-product to sell for a quick profit. I obviously cannot verify this but I suspect that a LOT of them have not hired a professional to ensure that the works they have chosen genuinely does fall under the shadow of public domain. Let me tell you, there are likely to be a minefield of lawsuits generated by these public domain cowboys in the near future – the information era we now live in seems to be rapidly turning into the Wild Wild eWest! I have never personally used works in the Public Domain for any of my resale rights and private label products – if you purchase such rights I would advise that you check with the author that the information within has been verified by a
professional and does not infringe upon any copyrights. Remember that the law is vast like an outstretched ocean – there are many exceptions and provisions that many of us simply do not know about so take precautions when venturing the public domain route. And I say this as a fan of the potential behind the concept. I would use public domain content only in instances where you yourself create an info-product or report from scratch (and even then I would only use PD content as a way of embellishing your own content).5. Accepting Payment Online Is Just So Easy - If you’re just starting out then I would recommend Paypal as a means of accepting payment. Many newbies get nervous when it comes to accepting payments online. Don’t be – it’s absolutely crucial to your success and these days you can accept online credit card payments from your customers with ease. Paypal is very popular on the internet and is pretty cheap to use and is widely known as one of the premier choices for transferring money online too – a perfect choice for the resale rights business.
The alternative to this that many resellers use is Clickbank – there are certain advantages to Clickbank despite it’s $49 activation fee. For a start, it comes with an inbuilt "affiliate program" so that you can get others to promote your resale rights packages (yes – by the time I’m done with you, you’ll know how to create superbly original resale rights products that you can recruit affiliates with).
There are other options out there, but for resellers these two options are the most popular ones.
As you will discover, Clickbank is really huge and entire books and software packages have been created to help you get the most out of it. As you develop your resale rights business you’ll almost certainly sign-up for it’s highly convenient affiliate program alone. In case you do sign-up with Clickbank I’d like to provide you with a neat little CB Script that is very useful for anyone using Clickbank. It allows you to do a number of things such as automating thank-you messages to your buyers automatically, sending sales reports to you instantly and adds your buyer to any autoresponder system that you may have set up.
6. Knowing The Different Types Of Resale Rights That Are Available To You -A little textbook education now – we’re going to look at the different types of resale rights products that you can get hold of.
First, you have Limited Use Rights. This is the type of rights you get when you buy a book or software for your personal use. You can make a backup copy most of the time, but you can’t resell the product unless they have an affiliate program.
Next, you have Giveaway Rights. As the name suggests, you can give the product away as a gift, or lead generator, but you can’t sell it.
After that, you have what is called Royalty Rights. With this type of rights, you can resell the product, but you have to pay a percentage to the author as a royalty.
Then, you have plain old Resale or Reprint Rights. This means you can resell the product and keep all the profits from your sales. You can’t pass on the resale rights to your customers. Your customers don’t have the right to resell the product.
One other thing I should add here; when you sell a resale rights product, you are generally responsible for support as well. In some cases, such as hosting, the hosting company might provide tech support, but usually, you have to provide your own support—refunds, etc. After all, you are making 100% profit from your sales.
If you do your homework, and research your market properly, spend the time to put together a killer package, and follow up with your customers, your refunds will most likely be very few.
The next kind of rights you can buy are Master resale rights. This means is you can sell the product, keep all the money, and allow your customers to resell the product as well. They can also resell the product and keep all the money. Unless it says specifically in the agreement, your customer can’t pass on Resale Rights for the product.
They can resell the product, but they can not give permission to their customer to also resell it. Most of the time, they have to go to the original author for Master resale rights of their own.
Another type of rights you might acquire are called Editorial Rights. These will be the most expensive rights you will buy. With Editorial Rights, you can change any of the content, edit the links to your own affiliate links, add your own name as the author, whatever you want to do with them.
On a rare occasion, you might find a "ready made" book or software that you get Editorial Rights to, but you’ll usually pay more for it too.
The below diagram shows the basic difference between normal resale rights and master rights.
As mentioned previously, most of the time, your customer’s customer has to go back to the original author to get master rights to resell the product. This is a major misconception most resellers have about Master Rights.
Everybody assumes because they have Master Resale Rights to a product, that they are supposed to pass the Master Rights on to their customer, and that’s not true most of the time.
As a reseller you have to deal with a HUGE volume of eBooks. Over time you’ll get hundreds if not thousands of downloaded products and it can become very easy to lose track of what’s what. If you’re going to play the resale rights game then you need to get seriously organized.
There’s one neat little tool that I have used to keep my eBooks organized and I highly suggest that you get yourself a copy. Don’t worry, it’s 100% free from this site.
Selling Niche Information Products
We talked earlier about how niche markets can be very profitable sources of income. Now we’ll investigate in some more detail on how to get hold of quality niche products with full resale rights and some hard hitting strategies that you can use on your niche products to double and even triple your niche profits.
Companies and individuals that are either directly or indirectly involved with the information trade are in many cases enjoying shocking profits. Do you know how successful companies such as Amazon have become? Well to put you in the picture, Amazon (the well known online book retailer) recently reported annual sales of over $6 billion. Of course it does sell other products too but selling information is a major part of it’s core.
Look a little closer to home and you’ll see that profitable websites are springing up in practically every niche information segment that you can think of - and often, the more specialized the information the more is charged for the information. Often, these niche information sites are set-up in an efficient, autopilot mode and bring in cash for the owner everyday, like clockwork, for months and sometimes years into the future – all with minimal maintenance.
Point in case, my father happens to be a director of a shipping company – recently I noticed him engrossed in a report about international shipping strategies. Obviously, a very narrow and specialized niche. How much do you think that relatively short report cost? Would you believe Ł75 – that equates to about $130. I doubt that the author spent more than a week creating that niche report – every shipping company in the world would probably have wanted to order it…do you think the author managed a tidy profit from it? Of course he did.
My point?
"Now, more than ever, quality information sells rapidly, and at high prices – the trick is to obtain premium content in high-demand niches with a limit to the competition. Then present this information to targeted leads that are looking for it. Get this right and you’ll enjoy niche profits beyond your wildest dreams."
So what exactly is a niche? Put simply, in the world of information-selling, a niche is a very specialized subject. As we saw above, the shipping industry is a very specialized business niche. There are thousands of shipping companies out there – all of them want information on how to make their specific shipping industry bigger, better and more efficient. They want to know the current and future trends that will affect their bottom line. Business owners in the Shipping industry niche are willing to pay TOP DOLLAR for information that will help them do this. They will pay far more for this specialized information than for say a general book on building a business. That is niche marketing, and once you grasp WHY niches are so powerful and how to market to them you can create money on demand. Don’t go away, I’ll show you exactly how to do this.
The great thing about niche’s are that niche consumers are FAR more easy to find, not to mention far easier to sell to. Think about it – consumers who are interested in a specific niche all go to the same online locations…they subscribe to online ezines and post at their relative niche forums. Offer them a fresh new product that targets their interests, needs and desires and they’ll gladly whip out their wallets and stuff cash into yours to get it. Niche markets are my dream, and by the time I’m done with you they’ll be your dream too.
What Niche Products Should You Be Selling?
Now we come to a very exciting part in the book. I’m going to just reveal to you exactly what niche markets are red-hot – and I mean just crawling with potential customers desperate to give you their cash in return for premium information that satisfies their requirements.
I’ve been researching niches for quite some time now – I’ve noticed that there are some niche categories that are perfectly suited for information products. They fall into these broad subjects:
In my view this is the strongest niche to be involved with – a few good resale rights products here and you really have the opportunity to create some incredibly strong income streams. Before developing my Digital Resale Rights club, one of my strongest selling books was a book showing people how they can earn an income by recycling cell phones for cash. It showed people a very different way to the norm of making money from home in a very lesser known niche. Incidentally, if you’re interested in this product it is available with full resale rights with membership of the Digital Resale Rights Club.
OK, you’re now aware of some of the types of niches that have large markets crawling with hungry buyers. Now, we’re going to see how you can research niches all by yourself.
How To Research Niches For Yourself
Let me tell you one thing very frankly…and this little tip will save you a LOT of time, expense and heartache when you start selling to potential niche markets:
"It’s ALL about the RESEARCH!"
What does that mean? Well put simply, before you invest your time and money in producing (or purchasing) a niche product to sell, you had better make sure that the DEMAND for it is there. That’s what we’re going to look at in this section.
So just how and where do you begin? There are millions of possibilities…an endless list of potential niches – pick just one good product in one popular niche and it could mean big things for you. Having said that, it’s really not as easy as you might think – you DO need to research thoroughly, then try and find a premium quality product in that niche with resale rights (or learn how to produce the product yourself). It’s crunch-time. Grab some hot coffee (or if you happen to be in England like me…some nice tea
☺).I used to hate maths as a kid. I sucked at it and I could never see the point. One of the things I didn’t like about it was that there was just ONE answer. You were either right or wrong. Well the great thing about finding niche markets and niche products to sell is that there are multiple "right answers" – several different ways of doing things to make good profits.
Before going on, I will indulge in some shameless self-promotion and just let you know that if you would like over 100 premium niche products with resale rights you can grab them and start making money immediately – I am of course talking about the Digital Resale Rights club. In addition to a huge array of premium niche resale rights products (including audio & video products – the future of information products) there are exclusive resale rights products that are unavailable anywhere else on the net.
There – I feel so much better now
☺Now back to our niche researching. Let’s identify exactly what we’re looking for now when we’re searching for a niche market:
After brain-storming you may have a number of potential niche ideas – and of course you’ll have several keywords for them. I’m now going to share some free tools that you should be using when determining the viability of your niche.
The first tool is provided by Overture (a Pay Per Click search engine). It’s totally free and you can view it here:
Search Term Tool
How To Use The Overture Search Term Tool –
let’s say you’re choosing between two potential niches. One is a book targeted to the home business niche and the other is a book on how to build a rat trap (you understand I’m not obsessed with rats or anything – I just keep using it because it’s rather an obscure niche so it highlights my point rather well).Here’s one way you could find out which of these has more potential – use the search term above to find out how many searches were performed on keywords related to your topic – the results will show how many people searched for that term in the previous month.
The home business search returned the following:
So on overture alone you can clearly see that the top result for home based business returned over 61,000 results in just one month – expect the true value to be far higher than this (for example if you included results from the big hitting engines such as Google). Potential here? Oh yes – lots and lots of people in this niche, many of whom will pay to get information about setting up their home business.
Lets compare it with the rat-trap niche:
Not really what we would want in a niche market is it? Just 66 search terms in a month. You would also ask yourself, just how much could you realistically charge for this information?
If you have a list of potential niches that you are researching this tool should give you an idea of how many potential prospects each niche may have. Incidentally, there is a free piece of software called Good Keywords that features the same type of search, except it includes additional search engines too. You can download it here free.
Another free keyword tool that I have used before with some interest is Google’s very own Sandbox tool. This actually comes up with several additional and complimentary keywords in your niche. This may be especially useful when you’re setting up an Adwords campaign as many of you no doubt will go on to do. You can access the Sandbox tool here.
Those of you who are familiar with selling information online will probably be aware that there are no shortage of eBooks & software that exist with the sole purpose of showing people how to identify and set up keywords relevant to their products. One of the best resources I have seen on this is "How To Build HUGE Niche Keyword Lists" by a rather well known fellow called Louis Allport. This little gem is actually a Video eBook and you may be interested to know that it’s actually included with full resale rights with membership of the Digital Resale Rights club.
OK – now you know exactly what types of niches are popular, and you know how to research niche markets for yourself. Hang on tight, I’m going to teach you how and where to create highly desirable niche products that will create powerful income streams for you years into the future.
Powerful Strategies That You Can Use To Create Instant Profits With Your Resale Rights & Niche Information Products
There are several different ways of setting up profitable niche income streams. It’s really up to you how you set-up and create your niche products – some may take weeks (or longer) while with other methods that I will uncover you could be up and accepting orders in as little as a few hours from now. Bottom line – it’s time to get hold of your niche products now.
Here are the main routes that you can take to come up with niche products to sell:
Create Your Own Niche Info-Product From Scratch
Assuming you’re confident with the research that you’ve carried out, the longest and hardest way of setting up a niche product to sell is to actually go out and write the product yourself. This may seem daunting if you’ve never written a book or created a product before, but it’s an option well worth exploring. Info-product creators have the luxury of being able to set the terms and conditions of the information they offer for sale.
Acquiring High Demand Niche Products With Resale Rights
This is by far the quickest and easiest way of establishing a fast, profitable presence in any niche market. As the demand for premium information grows (in all types of niche markets), so we’re seeing more and more resale rights products appear. Now I’d like you to pay close attention to this segment because I’m going to tell you exactly what you need to do with your niche resale rights products to make them sell like hot cakes.
But how can you get your niche product to this stage? Well, get inside your customers minds and ask yourself what it is that would tip them over the edge and make them buy your offer. One good way is by offering
Allow me to illustrate another example of how to create perceived value (and this is more for those of you who will go on to produce your own niche products). One of my recent releases was an all inclusive resource called The Complete Info-Product Creation Toolbox. There have been some real best-sellers out there showing people "how to create an eBook in X days" and so on, a couple of them being quite good in fact. However I noticed one thing in even the best of them – they only gave advice. Every time the newbie info-product creator needed to get hold of software, for example to create PDF files or add audio onto their site, the book would point it’s affiliate link to a recommended resource – so much so that the reader had to end up paying an additional $150 or so to do everything the books suggested. There was my opening – When it came to producing The Complete Info-Product Creation Toolbox, I immediately scooped up
the master rights to several resources and software that every info-product creator needs in addition to the basic "how to" info, and included them as part of the package. The result? Instant perceived value.What do you think most potential info-product creators would prefer – a "how to" eBook, or a "how to" ebook plus all the software needed to get started? Pretty obvious isn’t it.
Here’s another method of creating instant perceived value if you’re an info-product creator. Throw in unique bonuses that your prospects just can’t get anywhere else. Get this right and not only can it be the difference between a hit and miss sale, but some customers may buy your product especially for the bonus – if it’s something so unique and valuable that they haven’t seen elsewhere. Now I’m not suggesting you spend a week of 12-hour days slugging away to produce the "bonus of the decade". No, you simply have to identify your customer’s needs and figure out what other information you could provide that will clinch that sale for you. That bonus could come by way of a high-power special report or perhaps even a piece of complementary software that could benefit the user.
Hopefully you now understand the importance of creating a high level of perceived value in the minds of your customers and prospects. When you think about it, we live in the internet age where online information is available everywhere – much of it free. What’s the difference between your prospect choosing between your product, a competitors product or free info? Perceived value of course.
First,
differentiate from the crowd – create a "unique selling point" that is not available anywhere else. Instead of just uploading your resale rights products as soon as you purchase, why not add to the offer by throwing in some alluring bonuses? What other resale rights products do you have that will "compliment" your featured product. Let me show you what I mean. You may or may not know that it’s possible to make a lot of profits just by adopting a few simple strategies on online forums. One piece of software that is highly regarded for this is Russell Brunson’s Forum Fortunes – now a lot of people recognized just how powerful this software was, and like me, they got hold of the resale rights once they were available. The software appeals to just about anyone who has an online business. Great, but how did I manage to compete against the many others who also purchased the rights to the software? Simple – I put my own USP in – I offered two bonuses that potential customers could only get from me. One you’ll recognize is the same Book & Software club, and the other was another exclusive product only available through me - an Advertising Toolkit (as many people who would be interested in the software would also want to know how and where to find highly effective advertising). Here’s the potent package that I created with my resale rights product. Very different to what a lot of people would have done – simply upload the offer just as they purchased it.The second thing you can do to add perceived value is tweak the sales page a bit. Some resale rights products have questionable sales copy and graphics (even if the product is great). This is wonderful news for you – get in there and make it better (making sure of course that the author allows it – most do). I assume you read your resale rights products before selling…so what benefits most impressed you about the product? What about the format and graphics of the product – can you create "instant perceived value" by improving these? These adjustments should take no more than a day, yet the positive benefits will be clearly seen through increased sales of your resale rights product.
A Highly Powerful Niche Profits Strategy That You Can Use Right Now To Create Instant Profits With Your Niche Products In Record Time
Now I’m going to show you a simple, yet little known strategy that you can use right now to break into instant profits with your niche products. I’ll also show you a neat and easy way of getting instant recognition as an info-product creator and getting back-end income from your niche resale rights products.
At this stage you’ll have identified the niche product that you wish to sell. I am assuming that you’ve purchased the resale rights to a quality niche product and a few relevant bonuses. Here’s what you do:
This technique is called "working the backend" and it’s one of the biggest advantages that info-product creators have over resellers. Well guess what – now you can have the best of both worlds. Just be a little careful and make sure the resale rights products that you’re selling are allowed to be used in this way. Mainly there should not be a problem, but always check the terms and conditions before doing anything creative with your products. You never know how an author may react if you trespass their terms and conditions.
By the way, for those of you who have never written an info-product before do not worry. This is very different from writing a full book – you’re simply adding some useful light content to your already fantastic niche product. If you have access to Adobe Writer (or The Complete Info-Product Creation Toolkit ) you can literally create this kind of package at the push of a button.
It’s Vital That You Capture Your Prospects Email Address
In case you’ve never heard it, there is a very potent adage in the world of online marketing that goes something like this:
"The Money Is In The List"
It’s a short, snappy and very true piece of advice. Here’s how it works – you gain the niche customers trust (for instance by providing highly valuable content by way of a newsletter or free bonus item). You then keep in contact with the person, again by providing valuable content through your newsletter. When they trust you they will hopefully purchase your niche product. Now as you get more and more subscribers to your niche newsletter, you can offer additional products to these people that will be of interest to them. It’s very important that you constantly aim to grow your list, and of course build a very good relationship with them.
Set-Up A Turn-Key Niche Product Site – Get It Profitable – Sell It For A Huge Mark-Up… And Repeat!
This strategy can be implemented in a few days and can be used to generate some very good profits from niche products. As you may know, niche products are being sought after more and more. Good quality products with high-converting sales pages can sell at a real premium.
Here’s a strategy that you can implement with a view to setting up and selling niche product websites:
Do you see what you have done? You have created a turn-key business that you can sell at a significant premium. The more unique your niche product, the more "punch" you’re able to give it, the better the response will be when you try to sell it. This sort of package CAN be put together in a few days and sold for a few hundred dollars. You can even keep doing this and create an income from setting up specialized niche products if you wish.
By the way, if you would like to know exactly how you can use niche resale rights products to generate highly powerful home income streams then you may wish to check out Resale Rights Empire. It’s by far the ultimate resource for anyone wishing to profit with resale rights – the ordinary price is $49 but you can grab it for a fraction of this price with your membership of Instant Home Wealth.

Import/Export – An Income For Life! |
Many individuals want to start up their own work from home businesses and it astonishes me how few of these even consider Importing & Exporting as a potential business. With the onset of the internet, technology and the global marketplace there has never been a better time to start a profitable import & export business from home.
It really can work for you – and work very handsomely
. You do not need to attend any courses or buy dull books that cost hundreds of pounds…you simply need to know a few basic rules of thumb and you could be buying and selling overseas for incredible profits. In some cases you do not even need any significant amounts capital to start up. What you do need is a genuine drive and desire to succeed. This section will point you in the right direction to setting up an import/export business with practically zero capital plus provide details of one of the best import/export resources should you wish to start profiting from this technique immediately.It is important that you start up your import/export business correctly. A professional look is important so have some quality letterheads printed. You will also need access to a bank account (your personal bank account will do fine).
It is always easier to make a start in either importing OR exporting first and then diversify into the other once you are established. The first time starter would find it easier to start off with importing, and that’s what this article will focus on.
Importing is simply the process of purchasing goods cheaply overseas and sell them in your own country. If you live in the western world, UK for example, the strength of the pound means you can purchase more and often sell them at relatively higher prices once the goods have been imported. If you target areas and markets where goods generally cost more you can make some spectacular profits. One tip is to try and see what goods are in demand and then find cheap sources to fill that demand. This is the easiest and fastest way to profit from
importing. There are several ways of sourcing imports, but some of the best can now be found online. You can also find more sources from trade magazines (available free from your local library).Some of the best places to purchase your imports from are developing countries (many within Asia such as India and China) – when shopping for products to export in India it sometimes feels like you are a kid in a candy shop. Certain items (such as handicrafts) do not even get charged any import duty so your costs are limited to just the shipping costs (aside from the actual product cost). In these instances it is possible to make profit margins of 10 to 50 times your costs…and of course all your travel and accommodation costs can be written off against profits as business expenses (there are also many other neat but legal tricks you can use to keep more profits away from the taxman).
So what type of products should you aim to export? The opportunities are practically endless but when importing remember that the heavier the item the more expensive shipment costs will be. Try to aim for light and compact market that are likely to sell well. Once you have identified a suitable product and you have found a supplier get hold of a reliable freight forwarder (someone who will deliver your goods from the point of import to your delivery address). You will then be able to sell your products in a variety of ways – develop a small catalogue of your items (this does not have to be particularly glossy or glamorous) and target wholesale manufacturers and large shop outlets who may be interested in purchasing your items. You should be ready to have a few samples available to show these potential buyers. You can also sell your products directly in places such as eBay (there will almost certainly be a buyer for your products here if there is broad consumer interest for it) or mail order.
Once you find customers you should request them to pay for the goods in advance – after receiving payment place an order with the supplier (usually you can have a 60 to 90 day credit period). You can then inform your customer when the shipment will arrive (and where) or arrange for delivery right to their premises. Can you see how simple this whole process is? As it is your supplier will already arrange for the transport of goods to a port of your choice – once you have a system in place you will find that not only will your existing customers keep
purchasing from you but they will probably be interested in buying additional products from you down the line (something that you should actively try and aim for).The import-export business really is a hugely profitable industry and the ideal work from home business. Aside from giving everyone the chance to have an income producing business very quickly and with practically no capital it is also a great way of travelling the world (essentially for free). As international trade expands and the process of purchasing from developing countries becomes easier (it is now far more possible than it used to be) there are big profits for small people from the game of import/export. As with most things, the things that stops most people from doing it is taking that all important first step.
How You Can Get Started With Importing & Exporting…Important!
One of the best resources available on importing & exporting that has been written especially for home businesses is "Import, Export – An Income For Life!" which teaches you everything that you need to know plus provides you with heaps of ideas about what to buy & sell and where to find in demand products at the lowest prices. The book costs $49 individually but is included with membership of Instant Home Wealth. It is unavailable anywhere else (online or offline) so if you really are interested in learning more about creating a strong, instantly profitable import/export business then I strongly suggest you read this resource inside out.
World Trade & How You Can Earn From It
I hit upon the idea for this business when I was on holiday in Florida. I had noticed many products which were available in America that I had not noticed in shops here in the UK.
One thing which really took hold of my attention was brilliant gadget that allowed you to use any mains electrical socket in your house as a telephone extension socket. With a master device consisting of a mains plug with a telephone lead coming off it, to connect the incoming telephone line with the mains, and a slave device to connect your telephone to the
mains to pick up and send the signal. Naturally the whole set-up contained electronic components to allow the telephone signal to be carried over the mains voltage without interference or danger of electrocution.Whilst still in Florida I located the manufacturer of this equipment. When I returned home I wrote to the manufacturers and enquired if they would be willing to make a UK version and allow me to hold the sole distribution rights.
I awaited an answer with great anticipation, only half hoping that any deal might be struck between myself and a large American electronics firm! After two weeks I received a reply - they would be delighted to make their telephone through the mains device for the UK and, yes, they would also be glad to offer me exclusive distribution rights.

After two weeks I received a reply - they would be delighted to make their telephone through the mains device for the UK and, yes, they would also be glad to offer me exclusive distribution rights.
A sole agency agreement, granting me exclusive distribution rights was set up and I now receive handsome, ongoing income. I get paid a regular commission from the manufacturer without having to do any more work, except issue receipts for the commission I receive.
Since then I have secured exclusive distribution rights for a wide variety of goods: Toys from Israel, electronic security devices from Taiwan, household and electrical goods from the USA, furniture and ornaments from Thailand and India. I also earn royalties and commissions from exports of Scottish salmon to Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I handle none of these goods myself, yet I get paid a good commission simply for having put the supplier and buyer in touch with each other. The supplier pays me a fixed percentage rate, usually between 2.5% and 10% of all the orders. Sometimes I even get paid by the buyer if I confer exclusive rights to him.
For you to become involved in this business, all you have to do is think of, or find when abroad, goods which are not available in this country. When you have found a product, you write to the supplier and secure the exclusive distribution rights for the UK (and for Europe too if you can!) and then set about finding an importer, wholesaler or large chain of shops who would like to handle the product(s). They do all the work involving customs and shipping, and you get paid simply for introducing them to each other.
Once the deals have been struck, you then have an ongoing income, without having to do any more work on that particular product. This income is gradually increased by continually adding new items to the portfolio of goods for which you enjoy exclusive distribution rights.
Gaining Inspiration
It is suggested that you find something from overseas to be imported into this country, rather than trying to find a home-based product to export. This suggestion is made because it is normally more easy to gain a contract from a supplier than it is to find a buyer. With the finding of buyers being the more difficult procedure, it will be best if the buyers are on home ground. Once you have experience and have established international contacts you could try your hand at setting up export deals and indeed setting up import/export deals between different foreign countries.
If you travel abroad on holiday you can be on the constant look out for goods which you have not seen at home. However, unless you are just about to go off on holiday, or are in the enviable position of being able to travel abroad whenever the urge takes you, this method is perhaps not the first one you will use.
Try to think of the times when you have wished there was a particular gadget or piece of equipment that would make doing a certain task easier. Ask friends or colleagues if they have any ideas about things they wish they could obtain here, perhaps items they have seen abroad or have simply thought of for themselves.
Perhaps you have noticed items of consumer goods when abroad that you wished you could buy in this country, or you've seen goods whilst on holiday that are much cheaper than here in the UK.
If you can come up with specific items that you think would be potential sellers in Britain but have no idea where they are made you can use the vast array of information sources available. These sources will help you to gain access to overseas suppliers.
These sources include agencies such as Trade Commissioners, Embassies and Consulates, Manufacturers Associations, Banks, Chambers of Commerce, the Business Management Association. All the addresses you will need for these can be obtained from regional telephone directories and trade directories in your central library.
Write to these agencies telling them of your interest in importing goods as an agent and request that they send details of any products, or types of product, which you specify an interest in.
Importing & Exporting is a highly rewarding & profitable way of creating income streams from home. Get it right and you could make more than you ever dreamed of. Remember, it’s
strongly advised that you obtain a copy of Import, Export – An Income For Life! And you can get this $49 resource absolutely free when you join Instant Home Wealth.

CREATING YOUR VERY OWN INFORMATION PRODUCTS TO SELL |
We have examined the use of quality resale rights products as a way of creating an instant home income stream – we have looked at ways of chopping and changing these products so that you are able to present a high quality product loaded with perceived value. That’s great and it will work wonders.
Now we’re going to look at actually creating your very own information product, from scratch, to sell for high profits. If you think this cannot be done you may be in for something of a pleasant surprise when you read the below. Ordinary people have created superb products from home, using the same tools that you probably already have in your hard drive (or you can get at a total snip).
You CAN produce your own exclusive information product – if you are completely new to making money from home then I would start with eBay and resale rights simultaneously and then move on to creating an income from your own info-products.
As someone who has created a suite of information products that have sold for as much as $97 I can tell you there is a formula that just about anyone can apply and succeed with info-products. There are also certain tools that you need to have to create quality info-products. If you would like to know both the formula as well as have all the tools at your disposal I strongly suggest you pick up a copy of The Info-Product Creation Toolkit. Now the toolkit costs $69 ordinarily but you’ll be delighted to know that you can pick it up along with hundreds of other tools, software & resale rights products at the Digital Resale Rights Club (and for a fraction of that price).
Why Create Your Own Information Products?
Now let me tell you that creating just one good, well marketed eBook on the internet can put some serious money into your bank account. If you’re worried that you’re "not a writer" let me tell you, it is not important. If you have a basically good grasp of English and can communicate your ideas onto paper then you have what it takes to write a very profitable eBook. Whether you wish to write fiction or non-faction, and on whatever topic, you’ll find that once you’re underway the pages will almost start writing themselves.
Researching Your Market – Don’t Start Writing Before Doing This
It would be absolutely suicidal to start writing your own info-product without actually determining if there is a market for it or not. Here are the key things you will need to ask yourself before deciding on your eBook topic.
Online Forums
are an absolute goldmine of information for your research, whatever topics you wish to include. Here are some great forum search engines that will find forums for any niche that you intend to write your eBook on:Find Your Forum
Forum Guide
Forums Info
Forumzilla
Forum Showcase
Forum Finder
Forum Directory
Forum One
Board Reader
Everything you need to know about the book you want to write is in the forums. Look for problems that you can solve. Look for other common problems that already HAVE been solved by other posters – all of this is ripe to include in your book (obviously you should never just copy things you see on forums directly into your book or you will find yourself in trouble!). I believe in forums so much that we’ll be returning to them when it’s time to market your eBook.
After researching forums, and search engines you should be aware of whether your book has a future. This key step has not only identified whether a market exists for your proposed ebook, but has also provided you with some key topics for inclusion.
What Topics Should You Write About?
If you already are an expert or have knowledge of a popular topic then that is an ideal first niche for you to pick. Perhaps you have a passion for something that a large group of other people also have an interest in. Sports, Star Wars or Traveling for example. If this applies to you then creating an information-product on your field of expertise is something you can certainly consider (although you should still always research the market using the methods above).
If you feel that this does not apply to you don’t panic - ask yourself….
WHAT SELLS? Go to your local bookstore and browse the best-sellers…a sure-fired way of telling you what people are buying. Beyond that, here are some timeless topics that people will always buy information about:
These are some of the subject categories that always seem to sell…and probably will continue doing so for a long time.
Some Writing Tips For Creating Superb Products In Record Time
There are certain things that you should keep in mind when writing any info-product. The following tips will help you create your product with more ease and efficiency:
Creating A Sales Page
You can create the best info-product in the hottest niche around and yet end up failing miserably when it comes to sales. How? Your sales letter is simply not good enough. It doesn’t have the punch that entices your prospects to click on that buy button. So how can you change this?
You need to follow the below basic rules for putting together a sales page. Entire books have been written on developing quality sales pages but if you’re just starting out here are a few things that you should remember when creating your sales page:

GOOGLE ADSENSE – THE SENSATIONAL NEW MODEL FOR MAKING MONEY FROM HOME (AND WITHOUT SELLING A THING!) |
You must have seen them – fire up google, search for any term and almost certainly you’ll see a bunch of adverts on the top and to the right of your search results (they tend to be in boxes and highlighted).
For the work-from-home enthusiast Google Adsense is a total dream. You can set-up a website, pour in content and hey presto, Google Adsense serves up adverts directly related to that content. Then you drive traffic to your site and earn money every time your visitors click upon your adverts. You do not have to sell a thing – this is an income stream that you really should be jumping all over.
Before starting let me tell you, there is a LOT to learn about setting up Google ads correctly. Some people are earning hundreds of dollars a day with Adsense – a more realistic short term target for you may be about $50 or so per day.
Introduction
You’ve probably heard a lot about Google AdSense (which is actually more accurately known as Google AdSense V1), but you may not know just what it is. Well, for one thing, it’s a one of the hottest new ways to make money online without having to do a whole lot. If you’ve read Robert Kiyosaki’s book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," you know that passive income is the best kind of income to have.
Passive income is income that you get without having to work for it. I know this may sound like some kind of "pie in the sky" get-rich-quick scheme, but passive income is for real. In fact, every single billionaire on earth uses the power of passive income to keep money coming in while he or she jets off to parties and resorts and such.
The best example of passive income in the physical world is real estate. When you own an apartment building and hire a property manager and a maintenance crew to take care of it for you and collect the rents, all you have to do is cash the checks that roll in.
Of course, passive income doesn’t just happen overnight, or everyone would be getting it. In the case of the apartment building owner, it took money, time, and knowledge to set up an S corporation, find a building to buy, put up the cash to buy it with and get a loan for the rest, renovate it, then screen and hire the property manager and maintenance crew. But once that was all done, checks began rolling in with little or no effort.
Well, Google Adsense is the online equivalent of that. You’ll have to invest just a little bit of time in learning about it, but once you get it set up you can look forward to seeing those nice checks roll in. Or, if you’re totally online, seeing money flow into your PayPal account.
So Just What is Google Adsense?
Google AdSense is a fast and absolutely ridiculously easy way for people with websites of all types and sizes to put up and display relevant Google ads on the content pages of their site and earn money.
Because the Google AdSense ads relate to what your visitors came to your site to read about, or because the ads match up to the interests and characteristics of the kind of people your content attracts, you now have a way to improve your content pages AND make some serious bucks off of them.
Google AdSense is also a way for site owners to provide Google search capability to visitors and to earn even more money by putting Google ads on the search results pages. Google AdSense gives you the ability to earn advertising revenue from every single page on your website—with a minimal investment of your time
So what kind of ads do you have to put up? That’s the good part—you don’t have to decide. Google does it for you. AdSense always delivers relevant ads that are precisely targeted—on a page-by-page basis—to the content that people find on your site. For example, if you have a page that tells the story of your pet fish, Google will send you ads for that site that are for pet stores, fish food, fish bowls, aquariums…you get the picture.
If you decide you want to add a Google search box to your site, then AdSense will deliver relevant ads targeted to the Google search results pages that your visitors’ search request generated.
Building Content Rich Sites
First off, why would you want to build content-rich websites? The short answer is "Because it keeps people on your site for awhile, it makes them come back, and they tell their friends about that site."
But why? Well, for one thing, people will stay on a content-rich site because it takes awhile to read an article or two. Thus, while they’re reading the material, their peripheral vision (off to the sides) notices little ads that happen to surround that articles.
And if people start to realize that a certain site has good content that they like, and in particular, different content that constantly changes and is updated, then they’ll check back to see what’s new.
The worst thing in the world to have is a stagnant website that never changes. People will visit it exactly twice—the first time to check it out, and the second one to see what’s changed—and when they find out it hasn’t changed, they most likely won’t come back. Ever.
A content-rich site is one that has lots of informative articles up at it, usually centered around a theme. Most sites can’t quite pull off being WikiPedia, so they specialize. For instance, you could do a site for dog owners. Possible articles on that site would cover:
Dog nutrition
The articles you’ll want to have on your site should be short enough so that someone can read them in about 5 minutes. This means you want to stick to articles of 250 to 750 words, with 300 to 600 words optimal. To give you an idea, a single page in a published novel has about 300 words.
Of course, your real purpose in putting up all these nice little short articles and changing them out frequently is not to just put information out into the world. It is to
have a site that people will come back to so that they will see the Google AdSense ads, and click on them, and then you will get checks in the mail.You might think it’s lots of cool graphics and colors that make a site attractive to a visitor, but it’s really the content. In order to make money from Google AdSense, you need to grasp that concept. Believe me, you could run a wonderful advertising campaign and develop all sorts of viral marketing tools and attractive affiliate programs.
But unless your Website is content-rich, the traffic spikes that you get for your efforts will only be temporary. The very best way to attract and retain an online audience is to provide content that’s useful, valuable, informative, educational or just downright funny as hell or entertaining in some way.
How To Build A Content Rich Website
I know the notion of creating your very own content-rich website might be a little intimidating, but you can do it. It’s not hard. You don’t have to be a good write to have good content on your site. In fact, you don’t have to be a writer at all. There are plenty of successful people who make a lot of money from Google AdSense and they don’t write a word of that content. We’ll talk more about that later, but you can hire writers, or have guest writers—it’s not hard.
Anyone can create a content-rich Website by following a few key points:
Discipline is key
To create a content-rich Website, you need to hone your focus and your self-discipline. I don’t have to tell you how incredibly easy it is to waste hours, even days, just surfing around the web from one site to another. You can’t let yourself get distracted like that or you won’t accomplish anything. Start with setting a limit to surfing for fun so that you limit your searches to sites and resources that are relate very directly to your site's subject.
Discipline also applies to creating creation. Successful writers can’t afford to wait for inspiration to strike before starting work. Instead, they develop a writing schedule for themselves and they stick with it like it was their job—since it is. As one famous writer said, "I write when I feel like it. And every morning at 9am, I make sure I feel like it." Schedule a time for yourself to sit down at your desk and write.
And you’ll need to develop another schedule for when to add content to your Website, and follow that schedule religiously. Make a commitment to yourself and follow through with it.
And remember—if you just simply can’t write, or you find yourself making too many excuses not to write content, just hire someone.
Go to Elance.com and post a project to write 20 articles of 300-600 words each for $5 to $10 each. You’ll find someone.
Regular updates are critical to your site
Nothing is deader than a website that looks like somebody’s forgotten about it. Regularly updating or modifying your site content gives you a big advantage over the competition. Web surfers will keep on coming back to your site if they notice that there’s always something new to see, learn, or enjoy each time.What Kind of Content Should I Put Up?
Any kind you want, of course, since we’re talking about the internet. But seriously, you’ll want to give this topic some consideration, since there’s more interest in some topics than others.
You know the people who are your audience, since ideally you’re talking about something you know about. For instance, if you’re talking about Ultimate Frisbee, it’s because you play it. So you know what other Ultimate people are like, and what they want to know and what they find entertaining.
Once you know that, you can decide about which types of content will best serve their needs and how to go about finding or creating it. Here are some general categories to get you started with your brainstorming:
Editorials
Editorials are the opinion of someone who’s seen as an expert in the field-- (either you or a guest contributor). This makes good content because people like to respond to it, either by agreeing with or opposing the writer. This can make for an exciting page, and you’ll probably have to moderate it.
Give your people a way to make their views known; put up a bulletin board or guest book on your site. People will come back to read other responses to their comments. And you can use this feedback from your audience by incorporating it into a follow up article in the future.
For instance, is everybody complaining about a new government travel policy? Do an article on it, since clearly that’s something people are talking about so they’ll want to read about it.
Full-length Feature Articles
This is the most common and in many people’s opinion one of the best forms of content. Depending on what your site is like, the articles could be long or brief, formal or chatty, technical or entertaining. Here are some tips:
To Get Content
1.
Offer to pay guest authors for their work. A guest author could be someone you found on your bulletin board who happens to write well.2. Exchange articles with the guest author’s site. Your site visitors benefit by providing them with another point of view. And you might just gain some new regular visitors from your guest author's site!
3. Make sure you get exclusivity. When someone writes for you, make sure they won’t submit that same article to dozens of other Websites and newsletters. When your site publishes exclusive content, you have opportunities for syndication in other publications, online and off, and you gain a lot of reader loyalty. The key phrase in a contract with a writer is that you’re buying all rights, including electronic.
You really have more than enough information with the above to get started with Google Adsense (and please do!). However, if you wish to further your knowledge even more then you can get hold of the excellent Adsense Empire (worth $49) included with your membership of Instant Home Wealth.

There is no quicker or easier way to grow your business than to joint venture with appropriate businesses. The reason this is so powerful is because of the leverage joint ventures allow you to harness. Doing joint ventures allows you to decisively capitalize on the resources that both you and others are under-utilizing.
These under-utilized resources can be anything from equipment to intangible assets such as services. The joint venture most readers of this report will be familiar with is an endorsement emailed to a partners mailing list. One person has a product that is a perfect match for another person's existing contacts/list. He asks that person to recommend a product or service to his list in exchange for a share of the profits generated from resulting sales.
The process described above works beautifully but is often poorly implemented. In order to carry off an effective joint venture, the person proposing the joint venture needs to begin with the interest of his potential partners in mind. He needs to begin by asking, 'How can I benefit my potential partner and make him want to take part in this deal.' He needs to ask, 'What's in it for my potential partner.' He also needs to ask what's in it for his potential partner's contacts or customers.
First what's in it for the potential partner. If you are structuring a joint venture proposal for anyone with a sizable mailing list or contacts list, realize that they probably get more joint venture proposals than they can possibly accept. They don't generally want to bombard their subscribers with 'special offers' so they will be fairly selective. Therefore, it is essential that your joint venture offer be better than the other offers competing for your potential partners' attention. Since profit is an incentive for anyone in business, one way to stand out from the crowd is to offer a higher than normal commission to your potential partners. If you only offer what anyone can earn by signing up for your affiliate program then you don't really offer them any reason to partner with you instead of someone else. To really entice a joint venture partner you should present him with an offer that's hard to refuse.
Another way to make your offer stand out from the crowd with your potential joint venture partner is to offer a special price to his customers or maybe a bonus that's only available through your partner's special url.
Perhaps the most important consideration you should have in-mind when making your joint venture offer is that your potential partner should only want to offer his list members top quality products and services. Therefore, you should only ask him to partner with you in providing his customers with superior products and services. If your products are as good as they should be, it will be fairly easy to find lots of partners. Your job is to provide this level of product, and then show potential partners that they are doing a disservice to their subscribers if they don't make them aware of your products or services.
The easiest way to show a potential partner the quality of your product or service is to give him a complimentary copy. Make this a part of your joint venture offer so that he can 'see and feel' your product. This makes it very easy to get excited about your product and to share its true value with others.
When structuring your joint venture proposal - think long-term. Don't get greedy with your partner who is probably doing most of the work in acquiring you new customers. Instead consider the backend. What we mean by that is that if you offer a product for say... $20, and it's digitally delivered, you can probably afford to give your partner 50 - 70%. If he is offering your product to his list, you are not paying for any advertising, you are only paying for performance. Structure your product line so that you can later offer additional products and services to new customers that your joint venture partners bring in. This is where the real profits are anyway.
Hopefully you offer a full line of somewhat related products. If these products are properly positioned, new customers that joint venture partners send to you are very likely to buy additional products and services from you. With the additional sales to the same customer, you don't have the customer acquisition costs, so these sales will usually offer a higher percentage profit. Keep this in mind when you structure your offer for potential joint venture partners. Offer them as much as is practical so that they work really hard to bring you new customers.... customers who will hopefully be buying customers for a long time.
If you do have your own products and services, and you approach joint ventures from this frame of mind, you will be unstoppable. Because you place the interests of your partners and potential customers above your own immediate interests, you set yourself up for these same partners and customer to benefit you more in the long-run. That's all there really is to structuring a joint venture deal that is irresistible. Make this mindset you own and you'll be miles ahead of your competition because they all approach joint ventures with the wrong mindset ;-)
This is the end of the article - let's continue…
If you don't have your own product or service, you can still joint venture with others. You just need to examine what valuable and under-utilized assets you have. These COULD be your contacts who are ideal potential JV partners. More about that in a minute, but I want you to first realize how amazingly profitable JV's can be.
JV Big Picture
A joint venture is merely two or more parties seeking to work together to leverage their assets and in the process all benefit. Joint ventures are so lucrative that entire on-line businesses have developed around them. An example is the community "JV Alert." JV Alert members can post their offers to an on-line database, or send a mailing out to the membership through a moderated list. The membership website is designed to both streamline the process of putting together JVs, and to keep the quality of offers submitted to members very high. Every JV offer is reviewed before it is approved for submission to list members. Some member of JV Alert have lists in the hundreds of thousands, and there are a LOT of people seeking access to these resources. Membership in JV Alert is actually designed to teach you the proper way to seek JVs with top level marketers. JV Alert does this through a number of tools including the JV Alert Perpetual Learning Series. You can learn more about JV Alert at: www.jvAlert.com/invite.aspx?id=41
JV Alert membership is "By Invitation Only" and this is my invite url. You can find out more about the JV Alert Perpetual Learning Series at: www.jvAlert.com/events.aspx?id=41
JVs ARE an excellent way to launch your product (an ebook, a piece of software, a service, or even physical products) if you haven't yet developed access to a large market or if you don't possess the requisite marketing skills. Even if you do have the resources to launch your own product a JV is the perfect way to launch it faster and with a deeper market penetration. Done correctly, you can reach thousands of times more prospects with the help of your JV partners than you could just through your own efforts. A lot has already been written about putting together JV's, and much of it is common sense. Knowing that a single, large JV can make a new or struggling business a thriving success, plan on spending some time studying the ins and out of Jv'ing.
JV Brokering
There IS a segment of the on-line marketing community that can sometimes feel left out of the JV wheeling and dealing. This is the beginner or up-and-coming marketer who hasn't developed his own product (or purchased rights to one yet) and who doesn't have a large list. He sometimes feels he has nothing to offer potential partners. There is a tremendous opportunity for the person who doesn't have any of the resources mentioned above. A person who can merely spot potential joint ventures can act as a middleman or "JV Broker!" He can put together the deal for a percentage of the profits. Jason Cox is one Internet marketer who built a reputation doing just this. Jason learned the ropes and developed into a world-class JV broker while still in high school. After graduating from high school, Jason went on to write a comprehensive course on earning a lucrative living from brokering JVs. You can read about Jason's course at: http://WillieCrawford.com/brokerjvdeals.htm
You're probably, at this point, beginning to glaze over from all of the theory, so let's tie it together for you by sharing a short story with you. The crux of that story is that I personally used Jason Cox's system to broker a recent JV, and in the process earned a nice, easy profit. Jason had sent me a review copy of his new course at the same time that John Evans had sent me a review copy of an ebook that he was working on. When the conversation of how to market John's ebook came up, I offered to broker a JV (finding people to promote John's ebook for a commission) and decided to do this using Jason's system as a blueprint. I did tailor it slightly since every JV project will be unique. My friend Allan Gardyne does a good job of giving the results of this brokered JV deal in an article he recently wrote for his ezine. Here is that article… ================================================== 1. How John Evans launched his ebook - brilliantly ================================================== On May 18, someone you'd probably never heard of, John Evans, launched his first ebook. He chose a horribly overcrowded field, Internet marketing. It's an industry in which newsletter publishers are swamped with offers to promote new ebooks, new software, new all sorts of stuff. Against the odds, John succeeded brilliantly. In his first month, his brand new site received 22,000 visitors and achieved an over-all conversion rate of 5.5%. In that first month, he sold a remarkable 1,200 ebooks for $56,400. Not bad for an Internet marketing newbie. Chances are, you've heard about the book. It's "Success Alert - Conversations with Successful Internet Entrepreneurs" -
For it, John interviewed 60 outrageously successful Web entrepreneurs, 10 of whom made it into his book. I was intrigued by John's success so I interviewed him to learn how he did it - how he found all the original material for the book and how he sold so many copies so quickly. For people in a hurry (this article is long, with lots of useful detail), here's the condensed, one-sentence version: John teamed up to two professionals, Tim Warnock and Willie Crawford. John, who's 38 and lives in London, may be new to Internet marketing, but he's not new to business. "My background is quite diverse, which perhaps can be attributed to my sometimes short attention span," John says. "My first business was in timber, harvesting trees all across Scandinavia and Canada and shipping the timber all over the world. It was great fun albeit very hard work." He then went to college before becoming a commodity futures trader, a business in which he's still closely involved. He says it's probably his first love although ecommerce is catching up fast. "My interest in ecommerce stems from the late 1990s when I had a guy working for me who was also a very successful affiliate marketer. His part-time income truly amazed me." This sparked John's interest in the power of the Internet. "Ironically, I had not seen this guy for a few years until he showed up recently in my database as having bought my ebook. I bought him lunch as a result and may yet interview him about his continuing affiliate marketing success!" One of the keys to the success of John's ebook is his methodical research. He located 60 "outrageously successful" entrepreneurs. To find them he used a variety of methods including: * Contacting owners of sites he had already bought products from. * Using a variety of government web sites promoting successful web businesses that have used government resources. * Keeping endless copies of newspaper, magazine and journal entries of articles covering successful web businesses. * Networking with business colleagues and friends. * Using Google and doing searches for specific business models, such as membership sites. * Listening to radio show interviews. * Watching business segments on TV channels like CNN and seeing. Then he persuaded the entrepreneurs to talk. "A number of people have told me they were amazed that I got so many Internet entrepreneurs to tell all," John says. He explains that it was relatively easy to achieve for several reasons: 1. Almost without exception, these entrepreneurs were all amazingly open, friendly and generous with their time and were often extremely flattered that he had contacted them and demonstrated his knowledge of their Internet businesses. 2. The vast majority wanted the publicity, to help them sell more of their products and services. 3. A significant number actually want the public recognition to help their exit strategies - selling their businesses to household name companies. 4. Most are not seriously worried about competition having seen much of it come and go. They also feel they have a lot of critical mass in their respective marketplaces and so the barriers to entry are comfortably high. 5. John says he was completely open about his intentions and didn't guarantee publication in the first book following an interview. 6. He also guaranteed each entrepreneur an opportunity to add or amend their interviews once transcribed and edited. This created an atmosphere of trust and confidence. To launch the ebook, John teamed up with Tim Warnock and Willie Crawford. Tim wrote the sales letter and did all copywriting. Willie recruited super affiliates to the two-tier affiliate program and was responsible for general Internet marketing strategy. "Willie also helped me set up the integrated ecommerce system I use at www.profitautomation.com (a re-badged version of the popular 1shoppingcart.com)." John believes strongly in outsourcing aspects of a business where he lacks the requisite skills. "Copywriting is something that can make or break your product and I do not possess anything like the requisite level of competence in this field - unlike Tim, who I consider a 6th Dan black-belt at it. I had contacted a number of copywriters before I found Tim through your newsletter back in April and frankly I didn't get the same feeling of passion or commitment to my success from them, as I did from Tim." John says he could waste many hours of his time learning these skills and still come up short. Also, he would rather focus on his areas of strength, such as product conception and development. "The other important facet of my relationship with Tim is that he buys into my vision and he does see the world my way. This is not to be underestimated as the last thing I need to be doing is explaining the rationale for my actions. Tim also possesses a high degree of integrity and this is something I would never trade off." The article which led John to Tim was this thought-provoking one which Tim wrote: "How to tap a huge undervalued market to win more sales" - www.associateprograms.com/search/newsletter239.shtml
Tim has also been wonderfully helpful on the AssociatePrograms.com forum, giving affiliates tips on ways to increase their conversion rates. The sales letter Tim wrote for John surprised me. Here it is: "Success Alert - Conversations with Successful Internet Entrepreneurs" - http://Success-Alert.com (More about that later.) John says he found Willie Crawford "quite by accident". However, it wasn't really an accident. Willie is a prominent, highly experienced marketer. He not only makes it his business to be found, he makes the most of excellent opportunities when they come his way. Here's how it happened... "I sent emails to a number of Internet marketing big hitters requesting testimonials for my new ebook and Willie happened to be one of them," John says. While some kindly responded and gave great testimonials, Willie's email said: "Thanks for a tremendous book that stands WAY above any Internet marketing book that I have EVER read." At the end of this email he added the subtle one-liner: "How can I help you promote it?" After an exchange of emails, Willie proposed marketing the ebook through a joint venture. "We finalized a contract and then we set up a two-tier affiliate program with Willie on one tier and any super affiliates he brought on board being assigned to him on the other tier." This arrangement appealed to John for a number of reasons: 1. Clear pay for performance model with Willie making an override commission on all his recruited super affiliate sales. 2. Willie's networking skills for bringing super affiliates on board super fast. 3. Willie's high level of Internet marketing expertise and integrity. 4. Willie's commitment to, and belief in, the product. John and Willie discussed a list of Internet marketing big hitters and super affiliates that John had compiled. "There were a minority of people on the list that I knew myself but for the most part Willie knew each of them - at least so he could comfortably call or email them.' The overriding selection criterion applied was their maximum reach - the number of people those "big hitters" could contact. "We came up with a list of around 75 people we wanted to target." At Willie's suggestion, these super affiliates were contacted in different ways depending on their relationships with John and Willie. They were either: * Emailed. * Phoned. * Mailed a specially designed package. OR * Met in person at Internet marketing conferences. In the first month about 30 super affiliates actively promoted the ebook. More have come on board since. Here are some affiliate sales examples for the first month: * Super Affiliate 1 - Books sold 180, conversion rate 5.99% * Super Affiliate 2 - Books sold 118, conversion rate 3.41% * Super Affiliate 3 - Books sold 111, conversion rate 5.84% I asked John why he thought his ebook launch was successful while many others are failing. "Well, I invested a considerable amount of time into developing the product. Just editing a 304-page book is also no small feat and I think it is demonstrated in the perceived quality, judging by all the positive feedback. There was also a heck of a lot of research that went into it before I decided to pull the trigger and develop it." He also surrounded himself and was supported by quality professionals like Tim Warnock and Willie Crawford. "It is absolutely critical to get your sales letter to convert well through effective copywriting and endless testing of the copy. This is what Tim brought to the party. "Also, you need to be able to reach your target market fast and this is what Willie was able to do for me through his large Internet marketing-related network. We constructed a win-win joint venture deal, which leveraged both Willie's network and his considerable Internet marketing skills. "At the end of the day though, had I not produced a high quality product, neither of these guys would have looked at me." Two of the tools John uses and strongly recommends are: * www.profitautomation.com - superb integrated ecommerce system enabling the management of sales, leads, affiliate program, email management, ad tracking, autoresponders and more. * www.smartracking.biz - for web stats, sales copy testing and much more. "This is the ultimate solution," John says. One unexpected problem that John encountered when the book was launched was the avalanche of email he received. While most of the email was positive, confirming receipt of funds via credit card and Paypal etc., he received a number of emails from customers asking about PDF files, how to get the Adobe reader, how to download the ebook and the bonus, whether they could read the ebook on a Mac, whether the ebook was a scam and wanting John to reply in person. "I resolved the email workload by producing a number of standard email templates so it was easy to simply cut and paste the relevant responses." If you're launching a new product, John recommends you invest a little time and set up your customer service system in advance. "It is made easier if you compile a number of standard templates in anticipation of likely questions." In a crowded market, John is obviously working very hard to make his affiliate program a winner. The affiliate program is two-tier and pays lifetime commissions. "We review all affiliate applications to preserve the integrity of our program and to respect our existing affiliates." Future products will be based on a similar theme and involve printed manuals, CDs, DVDs and seminars. "We are also just launching the Success Alert discussion forum so we can easily interact with people interested in making a living online. We aim to stand out from the crowd by: 1. Producing high quality, unique products that we feel will be in very high demand. 2. Delivering a range of excellent tools for our affiliates and supporting them fully."

I strongly recommend it. ============================================ Reprint with permission of Allan Gardyne, Associates Programs Newsletter. This is one of the oldest, most unbiased newsletter around - reviewing the most lucrative affiliate programs to join. Allan also has a directory of associate programs on his site. If you're looking for a product to promote Allan lists a LOT of them, and he's rated many. If you have your own affiliate program, this is a great place to get it listed so that new affiliates can find you :-_ I highly recommend that you visit Allan's site, subscribe to his ezine, and then look around the site. You can do that at: http://AssociatePrograms.com/search/newsletter.shtml
This above article is from the August 5th, 2004 issue. Key Points There are some key points in the above case study that you shouldn't miss. One is that the 2-tier affiliate program offers lifetime commissions. That means that the super-affiliates that I recruited will earn me commissions for a long time not only on the initial ebook, but on other products in the series that John produces and that they promote. Since some of these products are going to be fairly high-end, this could easily amount to a six-figure commission. All from one fairly simple and enjoyable JV. Allan's article shares that John's conversion rates were 5.5% overall. This is because the sales page was thoroughly tested BEFORE asking potential partners to use their valuable assets to promote the ebook. The super-affiliates were promoting a proven product, with a proven system. They were not gambling when they drove traffic to this website! The page was meticulously tested and refined using traffic generated from the pay-per-click search engines. Another point is that the actual time spent "working" this joint venture was very little. It required very few resources. The biggest resource was actually my existing contacts that I was able to leverage. Another asset was the ability to recognize an opportunity and then act on it decisively. Lot of people undoubtedly have opportunities just as lucrative presented to them every day. They also have lots of great ideas every day. However, most don't take massive action! This is just one case-study showing you the tools and techniques used by JV Brokers every day. The report provides a roadmap, if you will. While you still need to do more research into the tools introduced to you, there is no reason you can't have similar results. It's just a matter of doing it!
