If you have been researching or been involved in an
online business for very long, you have, no doubt seen, a
multitude of offers for "eBooks" books, reports and training
course on every subject imaginable.
Why? Because information is the hottest product on the
market! (At the foundational level, it's actually the Only
product, but that's another article.) Information cuts
straight to the root of all selling, which is answering the
customer's question: "What will this product do for me?"
There's another reason, though. Pure information is a
product that doesn't require a huge financial overhead to
produce, (other than the hard knocks you got in gaining the
experience and information), and is easy and relatively low
cost to deliver to the customer. That is what makes it such a
great product for us, as entrepreneurs, to offer.
Everyone has life experience, training, and skills that
others don't have. Everyone knows something that others want
to know, or can do something that others want to learn. That's
how I know you have an InfoProduct inside you, everyone does.
Your first assignment is to decide which of your many gifts
you are going to offer to the world!
Does that mean you have to be able to write a book? No. Not
necessarily. I'm talking about what is known as USP ... Unique
Selling Position. Your USP might be that you have detailed
knowledge about someone else's product that you are selling as
an affiliate. It could be that humorous way you present the
information you have collected on some subject of interest, or
the fact that you offer the best customer service available
for the service you offer. You may offer the same products
that others are also selling, but find your own unique market
for them.
But whatever you decide to use for your information
product, your USP, you need to find one. If you were to
research the online marketers who are honestly making the
money they claim to be earning online, you would discover that
they all have a USP. Your USP IS your product, however you
package and deliver it.
If you are working a Multi-level Marketing program or one
of the BIBs (Business in a Box), you are not left out of this
concept, but you may have to work harder to figure out how to
be unique. You can still go for the niche marketing idea. Find
a group of people who aren't usually reached by these kinds of
businesses, or aim your advertising at people in the countries
that are just now going online.
You may, of course, actually write a book, eBook, or
training course and sell it. Many are making good money doing
just that. The list of helpful software and online publishers
is growing every day. But even if you write your own product
or design your own software, you will still need a
well-thought-out USP to stand out in the crowd. It's like your
business plan you need a firm foundation before you can
build your future online success.
