How To Create and Sell Information Products on eBay, Amazon and the InternetWhat's The PERFECT eBay Product ???

Finding products to sell is the single biggest problem eBay sellers face today. I am in my ninth year of selling on eBay and finding profitable products is still a daily challenge.
 

I asked myself: "If I was looking for the ultimate eBay product today, what characteristics would it have?"

  • It would be highly profitable
  • It would have an unlimited supply
  • It would be easy and cheap to deliver and ship
  • I would own or control it
  • It would have no - or very little competition
  • It would lend itself to up-selling and cross-selling

So what product meets all of these specifications?

Information is the one product that meets every one of those criteria.

No - I am not talking about selling stupid get-rich-quick schemes. That's what comes to mind when most people think of information sellers.

Note: This is NOT about selling 99-cent eBooks or other stupid info products. Keep reading to learn about professional and profitable information products you can be proud to sell and that actually make a profit.


Almost anyone can create and sell knowledge-based products that:

  • help people
  • educate people
  • solve a problem
  • entertain

Information is one of the best-selling products of all time. People buy all kinds of information. Here are just a few of the hundreds of information products selling on eBay:

What do I know about selling information?

In addition to selling our merchandise on eBay, I have been selling information products on eBay and the Internet for five years now. During that time I have sold just over $1,000,000 worth of my books and CDs.

Hey Skip, your Info book is amazing! The timing for me was perfect as I'm creating an e-book right now.

Your book explains with easy reading that anyone can do this and most importantly, "how to do it right".  The resources you mention are all the best in the industry and I will be using most if not all of them. I also look forward to your next newsletter.  Those are great too!

~ Bob Bronner


You might be thinking: "I don't want to write eBooks." That's OK, because information includes a lot more than eBooks. People now sell their original music, videos and photography. Craftspeople sell plans and patterns. Pet lovers sell videos on dog training, nutrition and grooming. Musicians and bands are selling their music.....

The list goes on and on. There is simply no end to the products you can think of. Your imagination is the only limit.

Information products today include:

  • Both e-Books and printed books
     
  • Access to web pages where the information is stored
     
  • Membership in private web sites where members can access a continuing stream of information
     
  • Videos (DVD or streaming video viewed on a web page with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player)
     
  • Audio files on tape or CD
     
  • Pod Casts
     
  • Printed books, DVDs or CDs that are mailed out to the buyer
     
  • Software programs
     
  • High-quality digital photographs that can be printed and framed
     
  • Combinations of printed and electronic material (DVD and a workbook)
     
  • Original music, art and photography delivered digitally in MP3


Why is information the perfect product?

  1. You control the product. You own it, you set the price and you never run out of something to sell.
     
  2. Information products are inexpensive, easy to create and can last for years.
     
  3. You can deliver many information products automatically. If you use this method, you can sit in your hotel room in Cabo San Lucas while you take and deliver orders from your laptop. (If you sell physical products such as printed books, CDs or DVDs, I will also show you my secret source that will deliver these automatically as well).
     
  4. No competition. Every item you create is unique and you own the copyright.
     
  5. You set the price based on the value the product delivers - not the cost to produce. One lady is selling her DVD of quilt patterns for $19.95 + $1.90 shipping. Her cost: $1.30 each. That's a 1500% markup!
     
  6. If you can come up with one information product - you can come up with more. This gives you endless opportunities to up-sell or cross-sell additional products.

 

Why is eBay the perfect venue for selling information products?

  1. You have a ready made market of 85 million members in the US and another 40 million members in English speaking countries overseas.
     
  2. eBay members search for products. Remember the quilt pattern lady I mentioned above? Well when someone searches the term quilt or quilts, her listings come up.
     
  3. It is very easy to set up an eBay account and start selling on eBay.
     
  4. eBay used to discourage selling digital products - now they embrace it...BUT they did institute some new rules in 2010 that changed the game. As it turns out these rules were actually a good thing as it got rid of all the hucksters and now there is an even better market on eBay for legitimate information products.
     
  5. Let's face it. When it comes to selling information products there are a lot of scams out there. If you run a scam on eBay you will very quickly be shut down or experience high negative feedback scores and no one will buy from you.

    But, if you deliver a quality product and build a good feedback rating you will have an unstoppable -- and completely legitimate money machine.


And eBay isn't the only place to sell your info products. We will show you how to sell on other sites including:

  • Twitter
  • Amazon
  • ClickBank
  • Facebook
  • From your own blog or website

I am not a writer. How can I create a product?

First of all remember that we are not just talking about writing.

  • Do you have a skill that you could capture with a video camera?
     
  • Some people sell audio files?
     
  • Musicians are recording their own music and selling it as mp3 downloads. One fellow records himself reading popular nursery rhymes that parents can pop into a CD player to play for their children. (There must be a lot of lazy parents out there because he sells a ton of these).
     
  • Another seller captures free photos of old airplanes on the web -loads them onto a CD and sells it for $9.95

Skip - I was always a lousy writer. Your EZ writing system blew me away. When I finished my first manuscript, I had it professionally edited, but there was so little to do, I was only charged $40. I am really excited to get going.

~ Sally M, Macon, GA.


But if you do want to write a book or an eBook, that is OK. I will show you a simple writing method and several sources that will take your facts and words, organize and edit them so your book looks professional - or take your outline and research and write the complete book for you. And, you will own the copyright. Some of my sources charge as little as $2 page. Just think if you could get a book written for $200 and sell 1,000 copies of it for $19.99 each (I'll let you do the math).

And then there is the public domain.

You may not know it but there are literally millions of works in the public domain that are copyright free for you to republish and sell....

...and I am not just talking about old books. Public domain works include art, photographs, historical documents, musical recordings by famous performers, speeches by presidents and other famous people -- the list is endless. There are even some old classic films in the public domain.

Some sellers are charging as much as $67 for just a report on how to publish public domain works. It is yours FREE as part of this package.

Imagine yourself in this business:

Work from home or from your laptop virtually anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection -- and work your own hours
Forget high gas prices. If you become successful at this, your commuting days are over
Never run out of something to sell. If you need another product -- just create it.
Enjoy high markups and little or no competition. You can create information products for about a dollar each that can sell for up to $30 or more.
Become respected for your knowledge and expertise. If you develop products in a certain niche, you can expand that to sell newsletters, memberships and subscriptions. You can even sell physical product in addition to your information. Remember the fellow I mentioned above? He started out selling Pinewood Derby race car plans and racing tips. Now he also sells the car kits.


What will I learn?

I have been selling information products successfully for over five years. I have put everything in this book that I have learned -- nothing held back. Here are just some of the things I will show you:

  • How I research niches to find product ideas with a ready-made market
     
  • An easy writing method that anyone can use.
     
  • A single critically important step you must take to be successful with any information product
     
  • Where to find thousands of instantly saleable products in the public domain
     
  • How to get other people to sell your product for you.
     
  • How to take information you can get for little or no money and turn it into a product people will die for.
     
  • How to reduce 'buyers remorse' to almost zero
     
  • How to find a copyright-free product in the public domain and turn it into a protected work that you own
     
  • How to write a winning sales letter or eBay description that can't fail
     
  • How to sell information products on eBay the right way -- No more worry about getting your listings cancelled
     
  • How to put your business on autopilot.
     
  • How to create printed books, CDs and DVDs on demand and have them drop shipped for you directly to your customer (We do this every winter while we vacation in the Bahamas)
     
  • Two techniques you must use that allow you to charge a higher price for your product and still increase sales while doing so.
     
  • How to use information products to increase the sales of your existing eBay merchandise -- and how to use your eBay product listings to sell your information products
     
  • How to set up an affiliate program and get others selling your product for you
     
  • How to build a mailing list of satisfied customers and how to market to them again and again
     
  • My unique brainstorming technique for creating product ideas (My wife calls it SBT -- Skip's Brainstorming Technique. I taught this to a group of students at a seminar I did in Las Vegas, and almost all of them came up with profitable niche product ideas in less than one hour).
     
  • If you can't (or don't want to) write a word, I will show you how and where to find highly-educated professional writers who will research, write and edit a complete polished book for as little as $2.00 a page.
     
  • How to automatically deliver your books electronically while you sleep.
     
  • A foolproof resource you can use to deliver eBooks, music and video in such a way that they cannot be stolen or resold without your permission.
     
  • How and where to get eBook covers professionally designed for you - cheap.
     
  • How to find what people are searching for on eBay and turn those keywords into eBook titles
     
  • The best time of day to end an auction for an information product -- it's not when you think it is
     
  • How to give away information products to generate sales and create unstoppable viral marketing campaigns
     
  • How to use eBay's new low-fee Fixed Price Listings to cut your fees and double your sales.
     
  • How to create auction listings and sales letters with audio and video that will double your sales
     

This is only a partial list of what you will learn. And, that is just the basic product. In addition to the printed workbook, I am going to give you over $300 worth of bonuses.

#1 -- The Information Product Resources File This  is my personal electronic rolodex and your logistical warehouse of information. It contains links to dozens of websites that contain tons of free and low-cost information, tools, techniques, research engines and more.

#2 -- An eighty page eBook: Create Your Own eBook Without Ever Writing a Word will show you how to get a first-class eBook written and edited for you by an expert without you ever having to write a word.

#3 -- Power Copywriting for the Internet by Bob Serling. This is a 149 page work by master copywriter Bob Serling. Thousands of copies of this book have sold for between $157 and $197. It is yours free with my eBay Information Products Course.

#4 -- A $20 off coupon on The Complete eBay Marketing System. If you already have my book, or are an expert power seller, you won't need this -- or you can give it away to someone as a gift. But if you have not mastered selling on eBay, this book will give you the advanced skills to sell not only information products, but any kind of product on eBay.

#5 -- The Future of eBay. This is my 30-page eBook that explains all the new eBay policies announced in 2011 and shows you how to turn the new policies into effective selling strategies.

And there's more...

Lastly I want to tell you about the final section of my book. I finished the book and sent a copy to a couple of my friends and associates to review. They gave me some great criticism, suggestions and feedback and all of them thought the book would sell like crazy.

But two of them said something like: "Skip, your book covers how to sell products on eBay -- but what about all the other stuff like selling from a web site, affiliate marketing, Google AdSense, and so on?"

Well that gave me pause -- but then I reasoned: "If that's what people want then that's what I'll give them."

The book was essentially finished, but I decided to write a new section:

I call it Beyond eBay. The new section shows you how to take your information products business from eBay to the internet -- and how to use your information products business to make money with direct sales, affiliate marketing, Google AdSense and even social networking sites like Twitter.

Now I am not going to claim that this new section is a complete encyclopedia on these subjects -- it's not. But it is more than enough to get you started -- and I recommend several resources on each of these subjects that will give you 100% of the information you do need to be successful.

You may be wondering: "Skip, what do you know about affiliate marketing?" I am far from the expert -- but my monthly income from AdSense and Affiliate marketing averages around $5,000. That is in addition to my eBay sales and my information product book sales.

So, what is all of this going to cost me?

OK - Good question. But let's review what you get first . . .

  1. How To Sell Information Products on eBay, Amazon and the Internet contains everything I have learned about selling information products on eBay and the internet over the last five years. It comes as an immediately downloadable file that is set for printing so you can easily print it out if you want to read it online.
     
  2. The Information Product Resources File. This file is my personal electronic rolodex and your logistical warehouse of information. It contains links to dozens of websites that contain tons of free and low-cost information, tools, techniques, research engines and more.
     
  3. Eighty page book in PDF: Create Your Own eBook Without Ever Writing a Word. Print this out and put it in a 3-ring notebook for easy reading. If you really can't write -- or just don't have the time to write, the author will take you step-by-step through the process of getting your eBook written for you.
     
  4. Power Copywriting for The Internet. The 147 page eBook by Bob Serling that will lead you step-by-step to creating sales letters that sell. This book alone has sold for as much as $197 and I sell it today on my web site for $67.00.
     
  5. $20 Off Coupon on The Complete eBay Marketing System
     
  6. The Future of eBay. This is my 30-page eBook that explains all the new eBay policies and shows you how to turn the new policies into effective selling strategies.

The cost is for the complete book and all of the bonus items was just $47.00, but has temporarily been lowered to $27! 

What's the reason for the sale?  The course is slightly out of date and I am in the process of updating it. A new version should be ready in a few weeks. Order the book now and you get the update for free when it comes out! I will leave this new lower price in place until the updated version comes out.
