The one problem I have with selling on dp is that I am a horrible writer, I normally have to pay some one a few bucks to fix it up for me. But its only like 20-40$ so its no big deal.
Understandable Platinvm but at least you don't let your writing keep you from taking action you solve the problem by outsourcing.
Yukinari84 nice post and great lesson.
Unfortunately many newbies or those with some experience who don't consider themselves "AN EXPERT" will likely pass by this idea. Some who are very new to internet marketing and or to those who say.. "I suck at writing and have no idea where to start" won't give it a shot.
Take it from someone who FLUNKED out of my literature class in high school and had to retake it my senior year.
YOU CAN MAKE MONEY SELLING YOUR OWN INFO PRODUCTS
Although I'm no guru I've made thousands of dollars over and over selling my own info products.
One thing that keeps many from success is the "PERFECTION" attitude. You can't make money with any product because you'll find that regardless what you or how hard you try it will never be perfect.
Even IF you made the perfect product someone who buys it won't be happy.
Your product needs to be "GOOD ENOUGH" and of course before that be sure there's a demand for it.
Here's some quick ways to gauge info product demand BEFORE you bust your ass making a product. If you skip finding demand forget about getting any sales.
1. Of course forums..what are people talking about? What topics are getting the most views this past week, 2 weeks, month or longer?
2. Youtube - Search "how to videos" from other people. Chances are if they're getting lots of views and or comments there's a good chance it might be a profitable product.
Learn the info in the videos make it your own...sell it in a PDF or create your own video tutorials and sell them.
3. Use free keyword tools to find out what "how to" searches are being done then find free articles on the subject, rewrite, and sell product.
These are just a couple quick ways off the top to do quick research and yes it does work.
Forget all the post you see on forums, even here unfortunately sometimes, saying..."it's just rehashed info from others" or I love this one...
"why would anybody buy that crap when you can find it all over the net for free" LMAO... that line is one of the biggest crocks of shit so don't give it a thought and kill your product idea.
There's buildings full of FREE info products across the world called libraries but Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, CLICKBANK and of course many more sell crap loads of information.
Hope this gets someone fired up to create there first product and make some cash.
Oh... if for any reason you get no sales you'll at least have started and that experience will help you on your next.
Honestly... this is one of the easiest ways to make some fast cash. I know for a fact it works because it's exactly what helped me see my first ever $1,000 and $2,000 dollar days.
Actually the first time I took a stab at it I made almost $900 in a couple of days.
