Most of us can find an extra 30-60 minutes in our day, the question is what should we be doing with this time? My answer is, you should write a book.
And not just one book, but you should always be writing your next book – and here’s why.
Writing a book is profitable.
Over at InfoMarketer’sZone we outline a system for anyone to follow to write a top selling ebook, report, book or other information product in 45-days or less that they can sell for between $27 and $67 or more.
45-days, that’s just 6-weeks. We could even assume an extra week or two for your first book, just to be on the conservative side. So, within 2-months you have written your book and can be spending your time processing orders and planning your next book project.
What do you get in return for that 6-8 weeks of effort?
Let’s say that conservatively you sell your book or ebook online for $47 and you manage to move just 30 copies (in reality, if you follow the system we outline over at InfoMarketer’sZone you should be moving double or even triple that number). The math works out to just more than $1400/month or about an extra $17,000 each year.
Remember, this is a very conservative estimate that doesn’t take into account many factors including growth in sales, more aggressive marketing, a higher-priced product, or any other income that comes your way as a result of launching a top selling book in your marketplace such as affiliate sales (you recommend products like yours and earn a percentage of the profits), advertising and consulting services not to mention joint ventures, etc…
On the upside, you have the potential to earn 3-4 times that amount with a hot product and some decent marketing using some of the advanced techniques we teach within InfoMarketer’sZone.
In any case, could you use an extra $17,000 (at least) this year for putting in 6-8 weeks of work with an hour or so a day? Instead of watching Donald Trump on the Apprentice, you can actually be building your own income and developing a growth business where YOU control your income level.
In our business, we roll out about 4 books a year in different market segments and tend to blow way past the conservative estimates used here – so you get the idea of how much potential there is with this business. Oh, and by the way, my own products account for about 33% of my income with the remainder coming from affiliate marketing, and coaching services – this can happen for you too.
Writing a book is launch pad…
Are you looking to change careers, or perhaps start a business where YOU are in control and can leverage the efforts of others instead of others always using your energy and creativity to become wealthy?
I have to tell you, this is why I build businesses. It’s very simple, either you are working to make someone else rich or you are in control and others are helping build you a fortune.
Think about it…with any business, not only are you earning daily cashflow and profits, you are building equity that can make you anywhere from 3 to 10 times it’s current ability to generate revenue. That means in 2-years time when you are bringing in $100,000 in combined income from your books, membership sites, services and websites your business is actually worth at least 3-5 times more and could be worth as much as $1Million should you have to (or wish to) cash out and retire early.
Talk about financial security! There’s no possible way – no matter how good a job you have right now – that within 2-3 years you could sock away enough dough to retire at 40, but with solid business building you really can because your equity grows many times greater than your profits.
Writing a book is fun, exciting and satisfying…
It’s not all about money is it?
If you are going to be putting time into anything for the next months, you want it to be fun, positive, healthy, exciting and satisfying. There’s no sense building a $100,000/year information product business by writing books if you have to give up the fun in your life, or if you get nothing extra out of the time you spend is there?
With the information product marketing business you are helping people solve challenges and fulfill desires. Using our 45-day Information Product Profits Blueprint, we help you focus on niche markets and topics that have a very high level of desire AND that you are passionate enough about to make the "work" seem like play. That’s important because your business will become much larger, much faster when you are on a mission to help your customers and thoroughly enjoying the journey.
I have to be honest, I can’t wait to get the the few hours each morning I block out for writing…this is the most enjoyable part of my day. Not because I love to write, but because through the system we use I know that I am producing content that will truly help someone achieve something better in their life – and for that I will be paid very well.
I get asked often – should I write a book because I really don’t know how to write and don’t like to sit down and write.
That doesn’t matter at ALL because building a juggernaut information product marketing money machine is all about finding desire, creating a unique way to address the desire and then filling in the blanks. The actual content could be written by you, but it could also come from existing sources, outsourced to experts, or even created through other means such as interviews or simply narrated.
Writer’s starve while infoproduct entrepreneurs rise to the top – and I can tell you having created ebooks, reports, books, home study courses, audio packages, videos and membership sites for over 8-years now – there is so much truth in that saying.
We are not in the "writing" business, we are in the information publishing business which simply means you put together highly tailored information targeting major desires and you get paid premium upon premium for this function alone.
If you’ve been curious or even mildly interested in striking out and using your extra 30-60 minutes each day to build a business online, then head over to InfoMarketer’sZone and discover the exciting and lucrative world of information marketing.
Oh yes, and if you have always wanted to write a book, then learn what it will take to write a book that is useful as well as highly profitable so you can spend even more time writing your next one.
