When it comes to creating income streams for yourself online, bring the owner of a product is perhaps one of the very best means to make money.

In this article, I’m going to show you why PLR (private label rights) is a great way to create your own product, how we’re going to use it and finally, a completely FREE resource I’ve created to show you how to make money with PLR, by setting up your own product in just 7 days.

Why PLR?

Ok, first of all, let’s look at why PLR products can be so brilliant when it comes to making money online and creating your own product to do so.

PLR or Private Label Rights products enable you to take a ready-made product and sell it as your own. This means that you can leverage off the work someone else has already done for you on your topic to create wealth for yourself.

The benefits are many but include:

• The work is mostly done for you.
• You get a complete product for a relatively small one-time investment.
• You don’t have to research or write the product itself.
• You can often find PLR written by experts, giving you even more credibility as you know the work is of high quality.
• It’s much cheaper than creating your own product as you’re not paying a writer to create a new product from scratch.

There are of course some downsides (although to be honest, they’re fairly few in number). The main two are that:

• The product is out there for anyone to buy and use as their own (but I’ll show you how to get around this).
• The quality of PLR material varies widely. There are plenty of good packages out there but there’s also a lot of hastily-assembled rubbish. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for, so if you see a free or very low cost package, it’s probably priced that way for a reason. That said, I’ll also show you a way to get around this too and get quality without the chunky price tag!

How We’re Going To Profit From PLR

We’re going to be using PLR is a slightly different manner to the way ‘received wisdom’ would have us use it.

You see, most people who are thinking of using PLR or MRR products will be taking the product and any site it comes with, putting that site up and selling the product exactly as it is, only changing the name on it to be their own.

We’re going to be a little smarter than that… Read the rest of this entry »

I asked my subscribers for their feedback recently. I simply posed the question: ‘What do you want to learn?’

One of the many replies I recieved was from a guy called Ian who asked a couple of very good questions. I thought that rather than just answering him via e-mail, I would share the questions and my answers to them.

So here goes:

Do you look for the niche first then create a product around it or do you have an idea for a product then research it’s viability?

This is an interesting one. The truth is, I’ve done it both ways but from my experience, there’s only one way that is very likely to work:

• Find a niche that you have some interest in – The interest isn’t vital but helps to determine where you start looking.
• Find out if there are people selling to that market – Run a search for all the terms you can think of relating to that niche and see if there are Google ads for it. Also look to see if there are people on the first page with things to sell on their site.
• Find out if there are people buying in that market (this is vital) – Forums within your niche are a good place for this. Also, look on Clickbank and Amazon to see if there are products out there. On Clickbank you can see if the product is actually selling.
• Find out what they want to buy – Note that I didn’t say ‘need’ to buy. Again, best way is to ask them. Go to forums and see what they’re discussing and what problems aren’t being solved well enough by others.
• Then create a product around that and place it on Clickbank.

When I first started, I created a product that I thought the market needed. It was a lot harder to sell than subsequent products because I was attempting to sell them something I thought they needed. In fact, I should have looked into what they wanted to buy. I also needed a market full of rabid buyers – ideally people who are obsessed by their field of interest. The classic example are golfers, but there are hundreds out there.

One advanced strategy that my mentor shared with me is

One of the crucial messages that came out of the Clickbank Millionaire Masterclass that I attended at the end of June, was that in order to get the consistent, steady income that we all seek, one needs to have one’s own products.

This makes perfect sense, as when you start creating and selling products, you are building assets which work for you and put money in your pocket with relatively little effort after that original creation.

Product creation can be pretty daunting for many people, particularly those who feel like they don’t have enough expertise in the field or technical knowledge to put together a great product.

With this in mind, Mark Anastasi put together a presentation which showed people how to create products relatively easily and economically. It’s a good lesson in the skills needed to create products online, but it also shows how the really good marketers think, particularly when you look at copywriter Brett McFall’s method of making $4000 from an e-book (which I’ll be revealing later in the week)! Massive leverage is the name of the game.

So, let’s get started…

Make money online. Sounds easy doesn’t it?

The good thing is that, generally speaking, it is pretty straightforward (notice I said straightforward, not easy!).

Anyway, last week I was browsing for some tools to make it easy for you to start making money online. I spoke to a couple of friends and one of them mentioned a project that a well-known marketer had put together.

Now, I need to make an important point here: If you’re going to climb Everest, you’re going to want to talk to someone who’s done it before. They also need to be able to teach others what they did to succeed. It’s exactly the same for internet marketing. You need a mentor if you’re going to succeed. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a quick note from me today.

I’ve found a fantastic collection of interviews with a variety of experts. These are totally awesome for research. Imagine all the tools and products you could provide to others to help them.

I’ve been creating more and more video products recently.

There are two main reasons for this:

• They have a higher perceived value and therefore can be sold as information products at a higher price than simple e-books.
• They’re excellent sales tools for affiliate products.

I’ve found an excellent tool for illustrating ideas and techniques via mind maps. You can clearly plan out a strategy and then either use it as a bonus for an e-book course, or film yourself talking it through for your readers. Either way, you’ve created a product for free.
