Lightbulb Moment Or Not - You Tell Me

Hi folks

Just finished the first draft of my latest ebook (around my 75th, called Clickbank Cash Cow - Create Your Own Digital Product) and I wondered how many of you in this part of the forum are taking advantage of selling digital products like ebook, audios or videos.

I know some of you are of course and I also know that there have been some really great offline tips given here.

So I was thinking how best to take advantage of this for all of us.

Now for example I could create an ebook including all the offline tips here with links to your websites for publicity.

Would I be selling this ebook.

Well I will be upfront as always yes of course I would.

Second possibility I create a series of ebooks using the same information but making each one about an individuals ideas.

So you would get a lot of publicity as most of my ebooks to date have sold really well.
from me and about me in the ebook/s too.

My start was in selling offline after idea.
I am always on the lookout for new niches to write in and of course I would include information.

And if any or all of you say no to my ideas no problem I have plenty of work to be getting on with including an Interview that it is very important to me to get completed.

Or if you have any other ideas on what could be done with all your valuable information then tell me that too.

    Ricky, your ebook idea sounds like an idea that could be a win-win for everyone if done right, so for me I would consider getting involved in your project.


    Thanks,

    I am not sure about the legalities or obligations that would go into creating an ebook from content that was produced openly here in this forum.
    I believe permission would be needed from the forum owner....he owns all content...doesn't he?

    Is there anywhere with-in the forum TOS that spells out the ownership rights to forum content?

    Not to rain on your parade but it would be best to look into all that before a messy situation developes.

    Just a thought,

    Just like every other niche, the "offline" niche has many, many sub categories... I'm kind of unclear what you are asking-- are you seeing the viability of selling an ebook to the offline niche? If so, I'd say there is definitely some money to be made there, just look at all the offline WSO's that are out there.

    As for selling digital goods... I haven't sold any ebooks or anything like that to my clients and unless there was some fantastic one out there, I probably won't. I've recommended plenty of regular books for my clients to read, but in all honesty I find that a lot of ebooks fall short of something that would get published by an actual publisher.

      Hi Martin

      Thanks for your positive response.

      I will talk with you soon to make sure I get it right (or hopefully we get it right).

      Hi Ben

      What I was suggesting is that we maybe turn some of the great offline tips given in the warrior forum into a digital product like maybe an ebook so that more people get to learrn about them.

      And yes I would be selling the completed product.

      I could also work with one or all of you individually to create together an ebook specific to your off line experiences.

      Hi Ken

      I would guess that individual posters here effectively do own there own content but it is an interesting point you raise.

      Any ebook I create usually includes information directly from me of course so there would be additions to the content at the very least.

      Hi Rus

      Well for you of course there would be publicity for your GP Scraper and any of your other products of course.

      And as well as including info in a combined offline tips eBook maybe I could create an individual ebook about your offline tips and include info about GP Scraper to try to increase sales in it?

      Does GP Scraper have an affiliate program by the way?

        Hey Ricky,

        Personally I've tried this type of thing your mentioning where a report was done that listed many things on a method and referenced many different product vendors that were targeted towards different sections of the report. I didn't get any business from it so I'm leery.

        I also realize that other factors could also have effected reasons why I didn't get any new business such as, the copy, the content, how all the product vendors or service providers were mentioned etc. etc.

        I'd be more inclined to be the featured and only vendor listed in the report should I decide in the future to participate again in something like this.

        Yes, i do have an affiliate program but I am beginning to screen them thoroughly before letting them promote.

          Hi Rus

          I'd be more thsn happy creating an ebook with you as the featured and only vendor listed in the report.

          I would also ensure that any completed report is not realeased with your agreement.

          Now the report could be in one of two formats. I sell it with a direct link to your site or I use my affiliate link to your site (if you accept me as an affiliate) and create a free version to become really viral and hopefully pick up many sales for you.

          If sold the sales copy will be good. I will stand by this comment.

    Sounds like you are the proud owner of one of the many "How to Write a WSO from WF posts" guides. The problem is that you also sound like you have 0 experience in Marketing to Offline Businesses. Why would we want to Buy a rehashed/reorganized guide on what we are already actively discussing?
