Glad I Made My Own Products!

Thank you and you are sooooo right. It took me a while to dive in but it was Shane Natan who got me started. I futzed around and then grew more confident. I should have been doing this full time years ago. I'm a cartoonist, illustrator and professional writer and I wasn't fully putting my talent to the test. Every day people like Willie Crawford and the other pros would talk about having your own products. I'm focusing on PLR, ebooks, reports. On any subject. I really need to be somewhere in a studio for six months just cranking out products and making the look real snazzy!

Now that I've learned my lesson I see that creating products is the easy part. Promotion is next but I'm getting promoted to correspondent status on my friend's new site that gets more hits than the NY and LA Times websites. That one link daily is gonna make me for sure.

You said it! I was missing out on this formula! I was so stupid not to catch on but now I am.

I did a JV with one marketer where I provided the cartoons and illustrations to her reports and stuff and we did well until she fell off the map for some reason. I need to find more marketers that could use toons as that formula did do well.

So I'll be making my own products and working with others on their products because their lists and customers and my lists and customers team up and compliment each other.

At first I was looking at the WSOs that promised everything but the Moon but caught on to them. I looked for the WSOs that emphasized that people had to take action. Then I followed the creators of those WSOs on WF and on their respective websites and then watched as they dispensed wisdom.

Now I understand the dumb stuff I was doing and the smart stuff I should have been doing. This kind of work calls for discipline, talent, communication, and patience. So now is the time to be creative, pick niches to exploit and produce and promote.

Thanks! It's the passive income I'm looking for. Used to have it in abundance but got stupid. Won't happen again. Now what's that course in your sig?

Oh you're making my day. Those are numbers you can't argue with. That is if you can get enough affiliates with that selling power.

Hey, congrats for the big step toward the further world of IM. Just keep on, keep on. Always remember to rinse and repeat the process that you've learn so far. Don't let trivial matter stress you out. If things start to get heavy, It is better to start things slower but sure.

You said it. I repeat that I should have been doing more of this years ago but was confused and too cautious.

Tell me more about your affiliate websites. It sounds like you've got yourself covered from each end.

I'm giving myself two months to whip up some products but won't go the WSO route except with a few of them same with Clickbank as the costs might be too high at first. JVZoo will be where I start. I have a bunch of affiliates there and I didn't even advertise. They just scouted around, found my stuff and started selling.

Doing things on a gradient but have to make the products useful and look good. My other major advantage is that I work in the news industry and the news sites I correspond for get traffic that would scare most webmasters but we don't do IM on them. I'll be the first and after I show profits we'll definitely have an IM venue. I can get traffic from our news sites to my news site to my IM focused sites. Might take out ad space for you guys. When we have a hot story you can get like 100,000 hits a minute for hours on end. Blowing servers outta the water. On average we can get 10k hits a day. So I'll be looking forward to that.

That is an AWESOME success story! Just awesome! Necessity was the mother of invention in your case. Getting people to pay to post is quite an achievement! We could all sure learn from you!

Thanks Emily! I'll be sharing what I can here on WF to give back. I've got more miles to cover but with all the great tips I'm getting it's really looking good. I also have a student I trained in comics who is a tv producer and app developer. He's pitching in too to develop products that I can do videos that really have some pop to them. I'm going the distance!

You are so spot on! Again, I learned late but now know what I need to do. Willie Crawford has been sending some awesome tips via his list. I need to peruse WF for extra tips too.
