Copyright 2006 by Kevin Bidwell http://www.All-In-One-Business.com Like hundreds of millionaires before you, you’ve made a discovery: Self-Help Products can be your key to fast financial freedom and long-term wealth. Good for you. But there is still one problem: Where do you get these products? After all, you’re probably not an expert in too many areas, and who wants to spend hundreds of hours putting together the product anyway? Here are some places you can grab up high quality self-help products with little or no expense on your part and put them together into a dynamite promotion. 1. Compile Other People’s Articles One way to put together a great book you can sell is to take other people’s articles and compile them into a single book with a common theme. For example: Let’s say you wanted to put out a book for people interested in deepening their Christian prayer life. You want the book to have good information and a decent amount of pages (bulk) to allow your buyers to know they have made a wise purchase. You go to article banks (like EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, etc.) and search for quality articles on Christian prayer. Keeping in mind their publishing guidelines you pull out 30 or so articles and compile them into a book with the title: “Drawing Near to God: 30 Days to a Richer Prayer Life.” You write a 1-2 page introduction, lay out the articles properly into book form and you are done. 2. Selling Public Domain Books If your self-help niche is one that has remained virtually unchanged over the years (as in the prayer illustration I just used), you may be able to re-publish an “ancient” text as a new info product. “Secrets of the Ancient _____________________ Masters” is always a good title—just fill in the blank with the topic of the book. It could be martial arts, memory expansion, persuasion—almost any self-help topic. 3. Buying Reprint Rights This can work extremely well if you position it correctly. In almost every market niche now there are reprint rights available for existing books. Purchasing these rights allows you to sell those books either re-branded as your own or just as the original works. If you are going to go this route, there are some special considerations you need to be aware of—most people who simply buy reprint rights never make a dime. If you choose this route make sure to get someone who has already done this successfully to walk you through. 4. Find an Undersold but Valuable Product The best products out there in any market niche are rarely marketed effectively, meaning no one has heard of them. Go to Google and search for the best keyword phrase for your market niche then go to page 5 or higher and being looking at the products for sale. Often you will find a great product which has almost zero sales. You can then approach the owner of the site to see if they will let you offer their product on your own site, paying them a small royalty. If their product is just not selling, they will often be happy to let you sell it for them so they can make something from the product. If you’re stumped on creating an “instant” self-help product, why not try one these? They’re fast, simple and allow you to make a ton of money. |
