On product creation...

I've developed an interest in creating products. Now many people will say grab a bunch of PLR articles and put them together but it doesn't seem right to me.

Maybe I'm misguided but I want to deliver real tangible value. Something people can walk away with and something people can be grateful to have bought. With the nw FTC regulations I don't think that it's a bad idea. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Everyday I see people create these vacuous products that have not an ounce of true value and yet they keep getting away with it.

Here's my quandary...

I'm 21 and I have no real skills or any life experience to draw upon (at least none I can think of) and I'm not particularly exceptional at anything. I don't really think I possess any skills I can teach anyone and provide proper value. I'm your neighborhood jack. I'm OK at many things but just not outstanding at any one thing.

So to you seasoned marketers, how would you go out and create a product that delivers REAL VALUE if you do not possess much in the way of marketable skills yourself?

If there is a guide I need to look into I'm happy to take suggestions. I'm pretty good at working out the rest for myself if I'm pointed in the right direction.

Ideas, book suggestions and tips will be greatly appreciated.

And by the way.. I'm looking to provide great value not just to make a few bucks as I'm not desperate for money. I have a part time job that covers my expenses so I'm willing to take time and build an online business with integrity.

    Well, do you have any interests? You really don't have to be an "expert" to create a product. Let's use the IM niche as an example... Now, if you were an expert on something you could make a course or a "howto" guide. If you're NOT an expert, you can still sell plenty of other things and provide a ton of value.

    Just off the top of my mind things like niche lists, graphic packs, templates, lists of targets for link building and so on. All provide value and increase the productivity of the person buying them.

    The same idea can probably be applied to most niches. You just need to think beyond trying to be an expert and think how you can still provide value.

        There are some fine lines here which you'll need to decide where they start and end.

        Yes, there is the "slap together some PLR" method, and there is the "start from complete scratch and do all my own experimentation" method, and then there is something in the middle.

        That something in the middle takes some things - like maybe a piece or two of plr but completely reconfigures it so it looks nothing like what ever you started with.

        How much you change it or in what direction you change it into can become the line you determine for yourself.

        The more you want of that start from scratch method, the more time you are going to need to perfect each task and the more practice each will take. But in the end you will be a master of each task.

        It's going to boil down to how much time you want to invest and how diversified you want your business to be.

        Decide up front the type of product you want to create. Then break that down into each element that would be needed and each skill you need to perfect - and you can come up with a time line in the process and decide if that is acceptable. Keep in mind - issues and things come up and you will likely need to pad the time to be on the safe side.

        If you break it down, you may find using some PLR will be very useful - or you be better able to determine will PLR can speed up your final task.

        The PLR may be as simple as a list of reference sites which are perfectly useful to the end user. Perhaps you won't need to know them all but why not share them with the end user if they are there to be shared?

        Anyway, you'd better hurry up because this planning could take some time and you are 21 and that is really old. :p

    If you have a specific strategy or mind-map that has bought you success, you have something you can develop. As long as it's providing great value to the purchaser, you will have a win. Happy customers bring more happy customers.

    You can always go out and get expertise and experience...

    If you've got a blog you can teach people how to set up a blog - you just couldn't teach them how to earn $23,796 in 28 days using a blog.

    Or give yourself a week and become an expert in an area... there are already products on Google + and all people have done is gone out and worked out all the features on Google + then rolled them into a new product that saves me and you the time to do it ourselves.

    If after a week you still feel uncomfortable positioning yourself as an expert... sell it as PLR... let them tweak it... and as time goes by you'll become an expert at creating and selling PLR.

    The leverage that skill and move onto the next.

    Sometimes it can take a few steps to get to where you want to be just leverage where you are now so you can get there faster.

    A bit like learning languages... if you know French then it'll be quicker for you to learn Spanish or Italian than Arabic because you're leveraging your French knowledge.

    Good luck...!

    There's a way!

    Personally, I see way too many eBooks and reports coming out. Sure, some have value and something and I still read all of them just in case there is a gem I missed but focus on creating more than just a standard .PDF.

    Mix it up, add in a video course (which is a little more than reading from your .PDF). Use powerpoint as a good visual aid.

    In my opinion, after enough research find a field that is both equally interesting to you and that you believe is profitable. Do a good month of research, attempt to teach yourself everything you need to know in that field, and then go ahead and produce a product.

    Keep it creative, keep it interesting and you'll make it!

    I'm 21 and I have no real skills or any life experience to draw upon (at least none I can think of) and I'm not particularly exceptional at anything. I don't really think I possess any skills I can teach anyone and provide proper value. I'm your neighborhood jack. I'm OK at many things but just not outstanding at any one thing.

    Then every day or two document your search for making money online.

    Your post is full of wonderful keywords for you to use and help you select relevant ads to place on your blog - including adsense.

    I can go on and on - my friend YOUR LIFE IS YOUR SUCCESS! You DO have marketable skills - it is YOU!

    So be YOU - do YOU!
    You have nothing to write about - not an expert on anything?
    No one is more an expert than YOU are about YOU!
    And the funny thing is that there are a lot of people that believe exactly the way you do (your PERSONAL market niche!)

    I can guarantee you that by doing this, you will become an expert in many things and will create many valuable products and services that people will want to buy from YOU!

    You can connect to a whole lot of people who share your attitude and perspective - that would make a very large email list you can market to easily with offers to help them in many many ways - Oh man the potential is vast!!! Listen, you got it!!! Go for it and get what's YOURS!

    YOU ARE A SUCCESS - it's just that YOU DON'T REALIZE IT YET!

    Actually, I think most people here will not tell you to just slap together a bunch of plr and use it as a product.

    You may be short-selling yourself. I don't know if you are, but if you don't have any marketable skills, it's time to roll up your sleeves and learn some. It will benefit you in many ways throughout your life.

    Do you have any hobbies? You can also make products from your expertise in the hobby dept.

    PLR when used right is a real gold mine. It is just a guideline that you use to improve a product or completely revamp it. If you cannot do this effectively yourself, go to places like Oddesk or Guru.com and find someone to do it for you. You can go to these places to make your own product from scratch too. All you have to do is tell them what you need done and they will bid on the job.

      If pick a random subject and spend a week researching it, you'll know more than 99% of people about that subject.
      You'll definitely be able to save people new to that subject having to spend a week learning about it themselves - thus creating real value.

      If you still don't feel qualified to talk about it, why not find an expert and interview them? You get to record the interview for your product and they get the publicity and recognition. It's win-win.
