Info product sales success -- FREE
20/11/10 10:28 Filed in: Info product | marketing
I LOVE creating and selling info products, primarily because I love writing. The fact that I can complete a new ebook today, and can SELL it today is still amazing to me.
Another reason I love creating info products are that you can achieve huge success selling them for free. It's not that I'm against advertising -- it's just that when you stop advertising, the sales stop.
I was chatting with one of my Info Product Domination students today about two of my favorite strategies: article marketing and blogging.
I showed him my "ghost" sales -- sales of products I've long stopped promoting. These sales come from articles I wrote six years ago. That's the benefit of article marketing of course, when it's done well. You invest a little time, and keep on making sales forever.
If you're a new info product creator, consider that the time you spend today can have great benefits for your business, for years to come.

Writing: The prices you charge
Wondering what you should charge for your writing? This question often comes up, both in the Write More class, and in the Copywriting Master Class.
If you're just starting out as a writer, base your fees on a comfortable hourly rate -- but add an extra 30 per cent. You add the additional to cover all the unseen costs, such as insurance, including your health insurance, computer update and repair, and so on.
Beware of charging rates for your writing which are too low. Please don't try to undercut other writers -- this never works, it just means that you both go broke. :-)
If you're not sure what to charge, and you're a current or graduate member of any of my writing classes, just send me a message, and we'll work out a rate sheet for you.
I've also covered how much to charge in a new guide, Devilish Writer -- it's opened the eyes of many writers. :-)
Happy writing!
