Hi,

I'm working on a series of videos called Wordpress Success. I've finished the first video and I really think I'm on to something. The course will be about going from the launch of a blog to a point where it's getting more traffic, subscribers, and even money (from many different sources).

The question is: What should I do with it?

I'm considering a few options:

1. Sell it as a WSO, and maybe on my blog (for a higher price, of course!)
2. Give it away free on my blog
3. Create some ebooks and workbooks on the subject and package it all together and make it into a affiliate program at Clickbank.

What should I do? I'm interested in making money, but of course I want to build my network as well.

Also, I'd love for some Warriors to offer advice about the videos, and give some short testimonials as well. Any takers? I'm working on the second video now...

Please let me know your thoughts/advice/questions!

    Nick: If your product is good - and I am not doubting you - make a membership site and add more videos and other material each month. Add a forum and so on.

    Membership sites are the best IM model by far, but you still need quality material for your subscribers.

    And you still need to get subscribers of course.

      apc01, thanks for the quick response and great idea!

      I didn't even consider a membership site--I guess I'm worried about the time investment it would require--I'm currently working on a college entrepreneurship resource site, four blogs, my own company, and my blog! I'm not sure I'd have the willpower to take on something that large!

      As for the video--thanks for "not doubting" me; it's my first video, so I think it's a bit wordy. However I do feel the information and advice is put together well, and I hope others feel the same way. Would you like to review it?

      Thanks,
      Nick

        Nick - you obviously believe in your product and that is good enough for me.

        A membership site need not be complicated.

        But trust me - if you want to build a long term business with value, membership sites are the best way to go.

        Membership sites are also by far the most valuable if you want to sell the business. Most IM sites are worth squat unless someone comes along who doesn't understand business, because there are too many factors that are out of the control of the webmaster.

        Membership sites show a consistent monthly income with named subscribers, and worth a lot of money - depending on other factors of course.

        You could make a simple membership site with WordPress, AMember and so on.

        It is usually easier to sell to customers because if you would have charged say $97 for the whole series of products, you can charge a $47 per month subscription - which is much easier to sell - and providing the subscriber stays for 2 months you make more or less the same.

        If it is a course, and if the product is good, the subscriber would likely stay. So if you had say 12 videos, you would make $564 instead of $97, and of course you could keep adding products.

        You could even charge $27 per month and still be ahead after 4 months.

    If your product is good, you may go ahead and do a complete product launch.

    Document everything, plan out a product launch, get everything ready (sales page, marketing plan, backend products etc) and roll out a big one.

    You may drop a small part of the package for free to build a targeted list.

    maxpayne, are you referring to something like #3 on my first post? Or something different?

    Hmm, interesting consideration...

    I may check out that option as a possibility. I wonder how a WSO would do here for something like this product? It's not really IM, but it's not too far off, and this video series will be a great primer for those interested in getting into IM...

    What do you think?
