Is Your Idea Really a Book?
ByIf you have an idea for a “how-to” type book, or if you’re an expert at something, perhaps your idea’s best format is NOT a book.
Or at least, not only a book.
One reason people don’t get published by commercial publishers is their idea is not really a book. It may tell how to do something, but it’s not unique enough to stand out from a crowded niche. Publishers (and authors who self publish) invest a lot of money upfront for a physical book.
These days, there are other days to get information out, if it’s pretty much just information you are offering.
And these ways are faster and more profitable than publishing a book.
What I”m talking about is creating information products, which can (and should) take any number of formats. It can be video, audio, printed, or a combination thereof.
Another important and wonderful thing about information products is you can create them quickly. Conduct a series of interviews (or even one interview), record a video of you giving a talk–and potentially, you have a product.
Then it’s a matter of the mechanics of setting up to sell online (the best way to sell info products), marketing, and making the sales.
All of which can be daunting, but not if you have a blueprint. And Mark Joyner, one of my favorite mentors, has just launched a “13-Day Info Product Creation Kit” that will show you exactly how to do everything you need to know.
And it’s risk-free. If you do what he says, and don’t make money, you get double your money back.
I have taken several of Mark’s Simpleology courses, and they all follow the same fun, multi-media format, are very practical, and really do work. I’ve never even considered asking for my money back, because I’ve always gotten great value. (And I can only say this about a handful of courses.)
So if information is your thing, and you want to get on the fast track with exactly how to do it (including setting up a website and writing a sales letter–he gives you the templates), check out this course. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. (As all the Simpleology courses are–especially Simpleolog101, which is free!)
