[CLOSED] STILL too much AWESOME at $40

[CDarklock]

- = OFFER CLOSED = -

Sales copy is left intact below, but payment links now redirect to the new upgraded product.

Oh Holy Crap This Thing Is Huge

So I started out trying to make a short report about how to configure E-Junkie and AWeber so you could sell stuff online.

Two months later, I'm scraping at the edge of 150 pages and have an update in the works which is going to add at least six more pages of content.

When I put this thing up here, it was about 80 pages and didn't cover niche selection. Now it's 149 pages and covers niche selection, more about copywriting, domain registration, hosting, affiliate programs, this is just plain out of control.

It's no secret I make my living selling products.
Every single dime I make comes from product sales.
So I put everything I know into this one...

Your Own Product: Start To Sales

If you are making your own products, you need this.

Look, I'm not some big honkin' expert on how to create products. I didn't take some class somewhere and get a certificate.

This is all "school of hard knocks" advice.

It's stuff I screwed up and had to fix.

Stuff I didn't know and had to learn.

And all I had going for me to begin with was that I could write. I had to learn the right way to:

- Create PDFs
- Take screenshots
- Record videos
- Produce audio
- Get good stock photos

With the first release, two big questions got asked, and the product nearly doubled in size. The product now covers

- Niche research
- Website creation

A lot of this information is getting split out into new products. This thing is huge.

And if you want to create your own products, you definitely need the advice of someone who's gone before you.

I laid it all out; everything I could think of. Niche selection. Writing. Marketing. Copywriting. Payment processors. Domain registration. Web hosting. The only thing I don't have in here is WordPress.

Can you guess what's going in next?

I told you the previous price was not going to last.

I did. Honestly. Last week, I told everybody the price was going up. You didn't believe me, did you? And now look where you are: the same place you were before, which magically became even farther from having this awesome product you really need.

It's the stuff nobody thinks of telling you.

Simply put, it's the product you need to make your own products, and it's your last chance at this price point.

P.S. - There's supposed to be an update to this out at the same time as the price kick, but unfortunately I just thought of more stuff to add. So the update's going to be even better than expected. It will probably be out later today.

Hey CDarklock - This looks like a quality product for a measly $20, especially coming from a proven Warrior like yourself.

I was just wondering if you go into finding markets where a new product will be profitable or if you take the "find your passion" route?

Also, do you talk about which kind of product (ie ebook vs. video vs. whole course) would be most profitable for certain niches?

[CDarklock]

I actually don't go into finding markets at all; this is primarily about the nuts-and-bolts process of creating the product.

There is a WSO coming out later this week... I believe the release is planned for either tomorrow or Thursday... which covers this subject. I'll keep an eye out for it and post the link here when it hits; I had a chance to review it yesterday, and it's some great work.

[Swiftace]

This is a no brainer. Do NOT use your brain, just BUY !

Why? CDarklock ! Thats Why !

[bretski]

Ok...I was lucky enough to buy this book shortly after is was "born" last Friday night. The value in this WSO is unmistakable and I know that I could have pointed a dozen people directly to this WSO just today for the real answers to their questions about how to put together a product...SIMPLY and EASILY! How to wrap the whole thing up without having to reach up over your shoulder to scratch your a$$.

I'm not a newbie nor am I a full-time IMer but I know that with this information I am going to benefit. I don't want to say too much and let the cat out of the bag as far as content but it will enable you to move in new directions that you may have thought about but balked at because you just weren't sure of how to pull it off...so you went back to creating another 100 Hubpages or autoblogs or just dreamed about making real money doing IM.

In addition, CD's writing in itself is worth the twenty bucks. I laughed so loud I scared the dog! CD makes learning fun!

[Tina Golden]

I bought for two reasons...well, make that three reasons.

First, it was Caliban. Hey, the guy makes me laugh. I bought Zombie Blogging, knowing full well I wasn't going to learn anything because I had talked to the creator extensively. Why did I buy it anyway? Because I knew it would be fun to read and it certainly was. He did the same thing with this product.

Second, he mentioned talking about the audio and graphic aspect of product creation. That's the meat I wanted - I know how to create a text product but audio is completely foreign. Not anymore...completely step-by-step on how to add my audio. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to be able to follow along.

Third, it's cheap! Come on, $20? To learn something AND be entertained? Cheaper than going to the movies, that's for sure.

Good stuff, CD!

Tina

[Zeus66]

This is really, really good stuff! If you've been thinking about getting into product creation - and even if you have some experience with it but haven't been very successful yet - you simply MUST get this offering from CD. Period. End of story.

I value my list members as though they're family. I'm very careful about what I send them via email because my primary concern is preserving their trust in me. And so when I tell you that this is one product I will not hesitate to recommend enthusiastically to my list, that's the highest praise I can give. And that's what I'm telling you.

Buy this if you want to skip all the costly trial-and-error of product creation. Invest the $20. It will save you so much more (both in dollars and headaches).

John

[zapseo]

I have bought big, hulking products on product creation.

I've bought brief reports.

This is the product you MUST buy if you want to create products.

It's amazing, it's fun to read, and will fill you with confidence that "YOU CAN DO IT!"

Add to the fact that you get lifetime updates and Caliban is updating it as we speak ...

Seriously ... you'll laugh, you'll cry (about all the money you've not made in the past because you haven't had this guide) -- but what's more -- you'll put serious money in your piocket.

Live JoyFully!

Hi Caliban,

Awesome. I have not laughed so much reading any other Ebook.
I learned a lot as well, which is always a good thing.
No seriously now, if anybody is THINKING about buying this, STOP.
Just buy it.
It is full of very good, useful, no BS, information.

BUY IT

Thanks Caliban.

Pete

[amanita]

Hi
I bought it due to the testimonials on this thread.
Not sure it will serve my purpose, but it is inspirational and a valuable way of looking at IM.
This why I like it so much.
Kind regards,
M.

[Stephen Renton]

Cool stuff by Caliban, gets my vote. Just emailed you with another classic Deiss gaff buddy, enjoy ...

[Alexa Smith]

Well, I bought this one yesterday. (I buy quite a lot of WSO's, actually, just because I like to know what's going on; I just don't often leave a "review comment". )

I bought this one because of (a) the wording of this thread's OP, (b) the fact that it's Caliban and you know the writing alone will make it worth more than $20 - which it does, (c) the fact that I thought the subject might interest me in case I ever produce my own product, which I'm still planning to at some point, and (d) the comments above from Judy, Tina, John and Bretski, all of whose judgments I trust.

I wasn't disappointed.

Apart from it being a pleasure to read, there's really a lot in this one that will be very helpful to anyone planning to produce their own product.

Just think: I never knew Caliban knew so much stuff about everything ...

It kind of figures, I suppose, knowing that he used to work for MicroSoft and everything.

And after reading it, I think I might actually manage to produce my own product, after all. He makes it simple enough for even a technophobic air-head like me to be able to do it. And there's plenty in here I can refer back to, too. It was exactly what I needed, in fact.

Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend this WSO - I'm just saying.

[ShawnPeter]

Love your sales copy man. Was wondering if you cover on the topic of outsourcing? Thank You for your time, Sir.

regards,
Shawn

I think the title of that WSO would have to be more like "Someone Else's Product."

I don't really talk much about outsourcing, like, ever. It seems like pretty much everybody has it covered, with the exception of "how to get people who will do really good work really cheap" which basically comes down to "pick one, because you can have really good or really cheap, but getting both is sort of like winning the lottery."

If you outsource the creation of your product, it's more like buying a PLR product. I have a different product about that, which is currently being updated.

Crap, it's been being updated for six months. I knew I was behind schedule on that, but honestly.

Oh, and while I'm here... the product I mentioned earlier, which covers niche selection and does it very well, is this one right here:

Hundreds Of Dollars A Week??? My Step-By-Step Blueprint Is Yours! Now w/PLR! RAVE REVIEWS!!!

Thanks to everyone for the reviews. I'm blushing over here.

[Simon Ashari]

Just purchased and finished this report.

Fantastically simple read.

Not just informative but entertaining as well. Highly recommended.

Will be looking out for more stuff from CDarklock.


Regards.

Just got this, good read!

Yeah, some stuff I know but it's always great to get a real personality in some damn books once in a while. I'm tired of reading the same old keyword research > niche selection > SEO > blah, blah, blah!

BTW I got an old school Mac too, the thing actually works...

This is a great ebook even if you are an experienced marketer. Oh yeah, thanks for hyperlinking the the chapters. I can't understand why people won't spend 5 minutes to do that and then I have to go scrolling through 50 pages to get to where I was at.

Thanks!

Dean

[bretski]

I have bought more than a few products in my life and one of the selling points that you always read about is "Lifetime Updates". Never ONCE before have I ever gotten an updated copy of a product that I bought!

Until today....I received an email from CD with a new download link for the updated version of this product. This is a first for me.

Thank you Caliban for being a man of your word.

Bretski

[BD77]

Caliban,

You're definitely one of my favorite marketers - not only because of your style, but because of your integrity. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your guide and would definitely recommend your products to anyone that wants to learn how to create their own.

Anyway, just wanted to share something with those that haven't bought any of your products before. I bought your guide a while back, but unfortunately never had time to say thanks for the great info or to leave a review. Well, yesterday afternoon I opened up my email and saw the download link for the updated version of the guide and thought to myself, "wow...I actually got an updated version of a product from someone that told me I'd get free updates and I didn't get a million and one offers for other products in between". And that's exactly what people get with you, great content and no BS. We definitely need more of that. So keep doing what you're doing!

Daniel

I couldn't agree more ...
However -- there IS a "go to page ..." menu item in reader.
Or search.
Both of which are easier than scrolling the content.
BUT YES -- Content Creators -- please hyperlink your d*?!* Table of Contents. For OpenOffice, it's under "insert -> index and tables" or something like that. C'mon. Like the man said, it ain't that hard.

[CDarklock]

To be perfectly fair, if you read the chapter on packaging up your ebook as a PDF, you'll find that I had to save the file in four different ways from four different programs before I found one that consistently preserved all my links and layout. I tried the Warrior PDF driver available here, then PDF995, and finally compromised on the inconsistent layout of OpenOffice before finally downloading a trial of Office 2010 which finally did what I expected.

So it was far from a five-minute process... just saving the file as PDF and then checking the links took twenty to thirty minutes, and both OpenOffice and Office 2010 were significant download and installation processes. So going from my Word 2003 document to the initial working PDF took about four or five hours over the course of three days, and then switching to Office 2010 took three more hours on a fourth day.

Most people would like their table of contents to be hyperlinked, but they don't check whether it is (Why would they? It's not like they haven't already read it), or they think it's a limitation built into the PDF format and/or their PDF converter.

And there's just never enough time. Every single time I put out a product, or an update to that product, it's days or weeks behind schedule. Even if I do check the final output and find a problem, it's easier to yank or ignore the problem feature and just "ship it anyway."

(Insert your own joke here about how you can sure tell I worked at Microsoft, all right.)

There's this constant balance you have to maintain between when and what you ship. The extremes are "Deadlines are mandatory, ship whatever you've got!" and "Deadlines be damned, it will ship when it's done!" - but both of those suck. The first one puts CRAP on the market, and the second one puts NOTHING on the market. Somewhere in the middle you have a quality product actually hitting the market, and it's not perfect or finished, but it's good enough.

I struggle with this same question every single time I release a product. I wanted some things in this product that still haven't made it in, but I really wanted to make an interim update that brought it closer to where I was headed before the price increase.

Which is hitting tomorrow, so I need to get on top of this next update tonight, plus I've got like four clients waiting on work... one of them for over three months... not to mention the membership site I'm trying to get up and kicking by the end of the year. And I'm just completely fried from all the arrangements related to the latest twist in the chaos that is my life. Sigh.

[tjmiller]

I just bought this. I've been meaning to for awhile but kept putting it off because I was doing other things. I should have bought it sooner.

One thing that I knew this would be: Entertaining. Because it's Caliban.

Another thing that I knew this would be: Thorough. Because it's Caliban.

What I didn't expect was 150 pages of everything from turning on your computer to money in your bank account. The first time I skimmed this WSO thread (emphasis on skimmed) I really just picked up on the Aweber-Ejunkie connection and since I have yet to use Ejunkie I wanted it for that.

Well, I got that and so much more. Normally, when I get a pdf this long, I don't print it, I just read it on my screen.

I plan to print this one, put it in a binder and keep it by my computer. Yes, there are things in there I already know. I'm not a newbie, I know how to register a domain name and get hosting. But, this is such a great step-by-step MANUAL, it deserves a binder, like any self-respecting manual would.

And how often do you get funny and logical and systematic all in one product?

Not as much as everyone else should have bought it sooner... the price just went up.

Anyone still on the fence about this, it's still a bargain at $40, if you're planning any product creation at all. (And if you're not, you should be!)

[davidjames42973]

This product has it all. If you're like me you may be technically challenged at putting together online products. I was tired of creating products and having to hire people to set up an automated system for me, so I began to take control of my business to overcome my technical hurdles.

This course is for you if you don't know things such as connecting your aweber list to subscribe people when they purchase your product and other stuff like that.

The best part is CD continues to add more and more content to this product.

Worth every penny!

[CDarklock]

Case in point: David discovered earlier today that the integration of E-Junkie with AWeber only works with a confirmed opt-in list. Like I say on page 72, I always use confirmed opt-in, so I had no way to know this. Thanks to David's help, pages 72 and 86 now explain this requirement, and it will be in the next update.

Which was supposed to go out last Monday, but I have this new thing that I'm not sure whether to put into this product or a brand new product. I'll probably split it in half and do a bit of both.

[CDarklock]

I've just had a chance to review a report that is honestly the best damn product I've ever seen on the subject.

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-left-7-a.html

If you're looking for the same kind of nuts and bolts about niche selection that I give about product creation, this is it. My chapter on niche selection is a piece of crap compared to this. You can really tell which of us makes a living finding and targeting niches, and which one is on the outside looking in.
