The Value Of Information

10 replies
Would you pay for information that is widely available online that can make you money ?

Eg, someone charges you $20 for a 1 page technique which isn't original but everyone but you knows it, and you will make $20^10 back ?

I struggle with the concept

    In the scenario you present, it depends on the audience. If everyone in your target market already knows the technique, then I guess a lot of them will ask for refunds.

    But that's not true of most audiences - even here on the Warrior Forum, we see basic questions being asked every day... so rarely will "everyone" know a technique.

    The key here is to target to a market that generally does NOT know the technique.

    One thing you have to watch out here for is the ease at which this is reproduced and spread....

    For a "1 page technique" it's VERY easy for someone just to tell someone else in common conversation....

    Now, if you aggregated 1,000 methods and techniques, into a unique and personal presentation, all of a sudden it becomes THAT much more value.

    People want traffic, I have a couple methods, and I know they work as my post was deleted(where i gave the methods out for free).

    However, I've sent my WSO for proof reading and editing to a goof friend.

    But I have a technique I want to share, that works in 15 minutes. I just dont see the point to add more than 1 page to that technique. That would just be blabbering on. I've cut the fat, and only have the meat.

      You can GUARANTEE to all your customers that it'll work in 15 minutes?

        Yup, so confident i'd give it away for free trial and payment on result. Its not a hack or anything, its just a smart gap that google needs to fill.

      There are countless 15 minute lessons that I have learned that I have used to make me thousands of dollars.

      Personally, $20 for a technique like that is a steal.
      The thing is, some people will know it, some people won't.

      Usually most people don't know it, so its worth producing.

      Regards,
      Dan

    Why would anyone buy a copy of a public domain book when you could just download it and print it for free? Yet, there are Christian book stores and entire sections of regular book stores full of bibles.

    When I first started online, I bought several e products which were more than 100 pages but did not deliver anything they promised.

    However, I remember buying a WSO here about a month ago which was only a few pages, specific to a problem I had and it delivered what it promised.

    So, if your report-technique (even if it is one page) is going to help someone, I don't see why you shouldn't make it available as a WSO.

      I also spent months devouring WSO's and it was a waste of time. I'd hop from WSO to WSO without completing or implementing complete strategies.

      I have a 1page summart of the technique. No filler. No ebook cover or dvd cover or photoshopped stats. I'm just honestly, swamped with other projects. I may give out some free trials.
