If you're interested in selling e-books or other information products
online, here are a few tips to make sure you make the most money:
1) Choose a niche where customers have a VERY strong EMOTIONAL NEED.
Why
do most e-books and other information products fail and leave the
author with nothing to show for their effort but wasted time?
Because
they selected their niche or their topic based on what they themselves
were INTERESTED in rather than what people were LOOKING FOR.
If
you want to make money with your e-book or other information product,
then you must choose a niche that is loaded with buyers who are
EMOTIONAL about their need, not "interested".
EMOTIONAL.
If
they're not feeling a strong emotional drive to solve a problem or get
their desire, then they won't be motivated to BUY from you.
2) NARROW your niche—don't "widen" your niche.
Another reason why most e-books and information products fail is because the author or creator wasn't thinking like a CUSTOMER.
Customers don't like to buy things that will fix all their problems.
They like to buy things that will fix their ONE BIG problem.
A
woman who is 30 pounds overweight, who wants to get in shape for her
wedding in three months...doesn't want a book about "general health".
NO WAY.
She wants a book called "The Bride's Guide To Losing Weight: How To Lose 10-30 Pounds In Under 90 Days".
Most of the time in life, it's not wise to be "narrow-minded". When you're choosing your niche or creating a product, IT IS.
3) Create a high "perceived value" report or video and then GIVE IT AWAY.
As
the Internet becomes more and more "noisy" and customers have more and
more options...and therefore more and more confusion...
...it's important to CUT THROUGH THAT NOISE.
The best way to do it?
Create something valuable, then GIVE IT AWAY.
Yes, I said give it away.
And don't just give away any old information.
No. You're going to want to create a report, video, teleclass, or other product and make it about your BEST STUFF.
Don't save your "good stuff" for last. Give it away up front!
When
your prospective customer comes to your website and gets something
that's very, VERY valuable from you for free, they will then say to
themselves...
"If this is the stuff they're giving away, then the product they're selling must be GREAT."
That's
why you give away your BEST stuff for free up front (and make sure you
ask your prospective customers to opt-in to your e-mail list in order to
get your free product).
