I need some help

I spent a lot of time making a product called : Learn English with Barack Obama , i collected 40 speeches of Obama with transcripts , some vocabulary and answered questions , I didn't know what to do next ? i thought about clickbank but it requires 50 usd and a website , I posted it in amazon kindle and it sold only 3 copies in 3 months

Please inform me what to do to make some money from this product or it's worthless ?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

    you have a few issues here, you likely created something nobody wants, and if it does start to sell you'll have to send all your money to The President for using his name and likeness

    Scrap it and move forward

      nicholas on the money yet again.

      People build the product first thinking it will be a hit. But the first important step is doing RESEARCH first and make sure these sorts of products are selling. I agree.

      Your niche is the most important part of the process, and 99% of marketers and newbies get this wrong, all the time. I have done wrong here from time to time too. But We are in serveral niches, that we know are competitive and they are so for a reason, there are lots of money in them.

      all that BS about stay away from competive niches, is silly you just have to stand out like kangaroo balls, and be different, but you niche must be in something that is going to sell well in. IM, health, wealth, forex, relationship, or other evergreen niches.

        Leaving aside all the legal issues, and the downward-spiraling
        regard that Mr. Obama enjoys among his constituency, there is the
        matter of his utter lack of rhetorical skills.

        Here is what Stephen Cox, editor of Liberty, and a professor of
        literature at the University of California San Diego, recently
        wrote about him:

        ... President Obama. It used to be said, even by his opponents,
        that Obama was a fine public speaker. Today, few of his proponents
        dare to make that claim. Always happy to hear his own words, Obama
        constantly emits them; and this compulsion has forced people to
        notice, not only that he is lost without his teleprompter, but also
        that his utterances have no memorable components. The great thing,
        for him, is that he doesn't realize any of this. He hasn't a clue.
        When it comes to himself, ignorance is profoundly blissful; he has
        no critical faculty or even the ability to recognize that other people do.

          Would this be "Learning English with Barack Obama" when he is on the teleprompter or off the teleprompter??
          ;-)

          Me thinks the OP may be pulling our legs...lol...

            You should probably have a high powered endorsement of the speeches. Obama gifted the Queen of England with a player loaded with his speeches. Maybe check with her? Surely she was impressed!

            And grateful too, after they got the Winston Churchill statue returned. You know, the one that used to be in the Oval Office? The one gifted to the US after WWII?? The one Obama sent back to them??



            I'm thinking the OP is joking with us. If not, I apologize for having a bit of fun at the OP's expense...

        Excellent point. But for some reason I just lost my appetite for spaghetti and meatballs.

    This is the great danger in creating a product You think is good, without finding out if people are going to like it,or if there is a genuine market for it - yes using a well known person as the selling point is a sure way to wind up in court. The English language market is large, but do some research and discover what will be welcomed first.

    Truly speaking I liked your concept.Infraction of monotony some time works.Sometimes people don't understand whether they want something or not.But of course if you need an instant result you should start producing another one.Best of luck for that..

    Do you know all the laws there are out there when using the president name to make money with? Do you have a website up and running to promote? Are you doing article marketing. You are in the english niche?

    There are a couple questions you need a answer to.

    You need a website where people can find more information and be able to contact, promote your website on different English language forums, social sites, etc.

    I don't think though learning English with Barack Obama would be interesting for people.

      You may have a bigger problem with this than sales. The legality of using someone's work to make money without compensating them or even getting their permission. I see Pirates don't just sail the seven seas, today they "sale" on the internet.

      Come on, they're easier and more legal ways to make a living online. Thimk!

      Consider in 2007 Hilary Clinton was a shoo in for the Democratic Nomination. Barack's run to the White House was ABSOLUTELY determined by his oratorical skills. Leave your politics aside and do some homework. There are lost of Presidential Speeches out there being sold...you want to slant it this way:

      How a little known and new congressman leap-frogged over more qualified, longer serving politicians to steal the nomination via his Speaking Skills.

      There is a huge market for learning persuasive speaking skills, that is your market, tailor your promotion to that...but, if you must get political, serve the Republicans something like...Hear the speeches which got Adolf Satan into the White House.

      For the dems, It takes a Community, the powerful and persuasive speeches of our President.

      Don't be afraid to play both sides of the streets, when it comes to politicians, do unto them...as they would do unto us...in other words, sell em a turd sandwich and take their money...

    Bro.... who is going to want to but that. You should probably create a product that actually has buyers in that market.
