You Can Create

Create Your Own Material

With so much talk about re-selling and PRL topics online, people forget that they can actually create their own valuable re-sellable products.

Even after my last post about 'ghostwriting,' readers don't always have to be led in the direction of always working with someone else's material.

This blog is about providing CHOICES, and one of the choices should also be in creating your own material.

If you are very dedicated to or know a lot about a certain field or topic of business, nothing is stopping you from creating your OWN re-sellable information items. Also, don't restrict yourself to purely 'business' products.

We tend to see almost exclusively 'business' and 'marketing' material online when we are attempting to do business and earn money online ourselves.

To tell you the truth, there is a veritable and extreme SATURATION of business and marketing information products online - and this has been the case for several years already! So - why not 'CREATE YOUR OWN' resale products OUTSIDE of the topics of marketing and business online?

Do you have a hobby that you're intensely dedicated to, that you pursue on a regular basis? Are you an avid CHESS player, or even an avid player of one of the online video or PRG games? Can you create a 'guide' or 'strategy manual' for those who don't know so much about Chess or your favourite online game?

It is true that these two areas are also quite saturated with 'guides,' however, there are as many ways and maneouvres in chess and online game-play as there are players, so creating a guide or manual will be easy to put a personal touch on, too.

There may be limited ways to use an autoresponder, limited, of course to what our current technology can make our autoresponders do! Therefore, only a certain amount of info-products can be better than the last information about autoresponders. This means that a TON of info-products, resellable and PRL products are SIMPLY DUPLICATE INFORMATION being passed around the internet.

Your success in selling those kinds of products will rely almost solely on your internet marketing experience, your sales copy, your reputation.

Why not TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

Try going OUTSIDE of the marketing field for a little while and see what happens.

You can test some of your knowledge, if you're going to be working with 'information' products, so that you don't take a big leap before you look, so to speak.

Test out how your knowledge is going to be received by writing a few random articles at Squidoo or Hub Pages, try APSense or any other site that gives you some kind of earnings for writing. If you get good response and a lot of viewers and comments at some of these places, well - GREAT - GET TO WORK - on making a more comprehensive 'info-product' for readers.

Some other topic possibilities that seem to be SATURATING the online markets are recipes, online gaming, info-bits about celebrities.

HOWEVER - these things can be made more PERSONAL - therefore, you can still actually create income from within a saturated market, by BEING YOURSELF.

There may be a bazillion recipes already online - but by taking care in how you organize a collection of YOUR favorite recipes, and by effecting an excellent, personal reputation with people in this area, you can still break into this niche and do well.

The same can be said about info-bits about celebrities. Although there are a gazillion sites with bits about Britney Spears, if you have a certain writing and presentation style, other Britney fans (of foes) will want to see what you have to say, what information YOU unravel about Britney. "The Personal" is what will make YOUR writing in this field DIFFERENT from everyone else.

You'll also 'brand' yourself to others in a very significant way.

Think outside the box - and for GOSHSAKES - stop doing what everyone else is doing from time to time.

Do you want to be a carbon-copy or a success?
