ebooks and short reports are extremely
0:03
valuable and can be used in a variety of
0:05
ways to generate income over time or
0:09
instantly so it all depends on how you
0:11
do it you can do either directly or
0:12
indirectly but there are many different
0:15
ways to use them to profit so in this
0:17
short video I'm going to go over kind of
0:19
a high level of what I did to get my own
0:21
business started many years ago about a
0:23
decade ago I got my business started
0:26
with ebooks and short reports and I grew
0:29
it to the point to where I was full-time
0:31
internet marketer and Beyond and then I
0:34
started and then I took my business and
0:35
started expanding from there but this is
0:38
what I'm going to explain in this video
0:39
will help anyone who's struggling to get
0:42
their business going to you know really
0:44
to get it to multiply to the income to
0:47
multiply and turn into something
0:49
substantial again this is a high-level
0:52
overview I'm not going to get into every
0:54
single little detail but it's really not
0:56
that complex of a system and hopefully
1:01
I'll be able to portray that in the
1:02
right way so first off what I did when I
1:05
first started I was in a few niches
1:07
wasn't really going anywhere i was
1:09
working to get more traffic to my site
1:11
every day you know i get some traffic
1:13
and then i'd worked to get some more
1:15
traffic and work to get some more
1:16
traffic and it was like I was constantly
1:18
fighting an uphill battle then I
1:20
realized there's a lot of value in
1:22
building a list you know they say the
1:24
money is in the list and they're very
1:26
right there's money and other things too
1:28
but building an email list is extremely
1:31
extremely valuable and that's how many
1:34
many internet marketers most internet
1:36
marketers have gotten to where
1:38
successful you know guru type internet
1:42
marketers got to where they are and it's
1:44
with an email list so I realized that
1:46
and then I realized well how am I going
1:49
to build this list you know I would put
1:51
up just join my newsletter or something
1:53
like that wouldn't get many opt-ins if
1:55
any I would try a few different things
1:58
you could try something like this as you
1:59
can see here this is just giving away
2:01
free tips this can work in some niches
2:03
and some niches it won't won't be that
2:06
effective but I realize you know giving
2:10
away a free report really can add
2:13
you so so I wrote up a few reports and a
2:15
few niches I started to get some opt-ins
2:17
so the first thing I did was used just a
2:20
short report to build an email list and
2:23
I did that in two different ways i
2:24
created squeeze pages for each report as
2:27
you can see here so in this case instead
2:29
of this picture of the the lady here it
2:32
would be a report cover that would be
2:34
showing up here and this exact squeeze
2:36
page and the sales page i'm about to
2:38
show you here in a few minutes come with
2:40
all orders at hands-off ebooks calm so
2:43
you can get access to that and this is
2:45
just a simple squeeze page you don't
2:47
need to have anything extravagant
2:48
something professional and clean and the
2:51
most important thing though was my angle
2:54
I would find that if I didn't put much
2:56
thought into the the heading here this
2:58
is the heading the angle you know who
3:01
exactly am I targeting what exactly what
3:04
need a my meeting with this report I
3:07
would just throw out some reports I just
3:10
have somebody right one or two here and
3:11
there and just kind of throw them how
3:12
they wouldn't put much thought under the
3:13
heading the angle and they wouldn't do
3:16
very well if they get anything at all
3:18
and I realized that the heading and the
3:22
angle you know what exactly what need am
3:25
I trying to meet here was extremely
3:27
extremely important I found that if i
3:30
hit the right need if i hit the right
3:33
angle I could get thousands and
3:36
thousands of people to opt-in to receive
3:38
that report and if I hit the wrong angle
3:41
to the same audience I would get very
3:43
little if any people to opt-in so I
3:46
found that the angle was extremely
3:48
extremely important with this and so
3:52
once I got a good angle I realized okay
3:54
I'm in this niche and okay so you know
3:56
you could just sit down and make a list
3:57
what are some of the things that people
4:00
in this niche struggle with or what what
4:02
would they really like to read about
4:03
what would really help them or you know
4:06
depending on the net just whatever the
4:07
niche is what are the people interested
4:09
in what are they hungry for what do they
4:11
want and go from there and decide what
4:14
kind of a report what your report is
4:16
going to be about decide based off that
4:19
that is what will make a successful
4:21
report or ebook before they ever even
4:24
will be the angle that you go after the
4:27
heading on that squeeze page or sales
4:29
page whatever it is it all comes down to
4:32
that angle so that applies to both the
4:35
squeeze pages using these to build your
4:37
list and also selling them which we'll
4:39
get into here in a minute the number one
4:41
thing in both cases is the heading and
4:44
your angle so what are you helping them
4:48
with what angle do you have that's very
4:51
very very important I can't say that
4:53
enough I can't stress that enough if you
4:56
don't get anything out of this video get
4:58
that that the angle the heading who your
5:01
audience is what you're helping them
5:03
with that is more important than
5:05
anything so once you have that though if
5:08
you get a good one you get a good angle
5:09
you get a good heading you can really
5:12
build a list like this just get a
5:14
squeeze page like this get it built out
5:16
to where they put in a name and email
5:17
once they do they receive and the ebook
5:21
free after they confirm their email
5:23
after they receive the confirmation
5:24
email confirm then they receive the
5:27
Thank You page which has a link to their
5:28
PDF and then you can also send an
5:31
immediate instant email out to them so
5:33
they have a link to it in their email as
5:35
well okay so you do that and then also
5:38
if you have a blog which hopefully you
5:39
do have a blog in that same niche you
5:42
can add a opt-in form to the sidebar
5:45
they're giving away the same report you
5:46
can say use the same image in the
5:48
sidebar use the same heading the short
5:51
heading there to catch them and build
5:55
your list that way you can also use a
5:57
pop-up pop-ups are really good depending
5:59
on the niche some niches the
6:01
demographics that people think it's
6:03
annoying or whatever some niches it
6:04
works just fine many niches the popups
6:06
fine a lot of people will say it's
6:08
annoying and it might be a little
6:10
annoying but it works in most niches so
6:13
pop-ups sidebar opt-in forms squeeze
6:15
pages all very very very effective in
6:19
building that list so that's the very
6:21
first thing I highly recommend anyone do
6:24
in any niche almost any niche is to
6:27
build a list just you know write up a
6:29
short report or order a short report get
6:32
it done get a nice professional
6:34
nice-looking graphic up there and start
6:38
okay so and then just all that work that
6:41
you've been doing to try to get traffic
6:42
now that's going to work for you in
6:45
multiplying that traffic because a
6:47
percentage of those people who you do
6:49
get there from social media and from you
6:51
know wherever you're getting your
6:52
traffic will start to even if it's just
6:55
a couple people a day I mean it will
6:58
start to those people will start to be
7:00
added to that list if you get the right
7:02
angle and that will multiply and then
7:05
every time you have a new post or
7:06
whatever you're sending it out you're
7:07
broadcasting it out to your list as well
7:10
which is going to cause a big spike in
7:12
your traffic and I would just continue
7:14
to grow continue to go grow continue to
7:17
grow as you work to get the traffic to
7:19
your site even if it's a small number
7:21
now you don't have to work to get
7:23
hundreds and thousands of people to your
7:25
site every day now you can just keep on
7:26
working as long as they're getting a few
7:28
people a day over time it's going to
7:31
continue to multiply continue to
7:32
multiply even if your work for traffic
7:35
generation doesn't continue to multiply
7:36
that will so that's the key there and
7:40
then once you have that then you can
7:41
start selling directly so Amazon
7:44
obviously right here we pull this over
7:46
for you you can see we have our camping
7:49
e-book on Amazon here and that's real
7:51
easy to do to get it up on Amazon start
7:53
selling that and you can make a decent
7:56
amount of money even at a low price tag
7:58
so a good thing to do is keep it down
8:00
that like 99 cent to start off once you
8:02
start getting reviews and you get a few
8:04
reviews on it you get a handful 5 or 10
8:07
reviews then bump the price up to like
8:10
299 and you do that wash rinse and
8:14
repeat just keep on doing that and you
8:15
can make a good deal of money doing that
8:17
but then you sell to your list so
8:21
whenever you're selling to your list
8:24
probably don't want to sell through the
8:26
actual amazon you in it really all
8:30
depends on the niche i mean in some
8:31
niches you'll you'll want to do that and
8:33
that's going to bump up your reviews
8:34
it's going to help you out i'm in many
8:37
cases like internet marketing i'm not
8:38
going to sell an e-book to internet
8:41
marketers through Amazon I'm just
8:44
I'm going I'm going to do it directly
8:46
and I'm not even going to sell it
8:48
through Amazon I'm going it's going to
8:49
be a higher priced item because it's
8:51
more valuable in this niche an e-book is
8:53
much more valuable than 2 dot 99 cents
8:56
I'm going to sell it directly so i'm
8:58
going to set up a cell's base obviously
8:59
this is camping not internet marketing
9:01
but just to give you an idea i'm going
9:04
to get a nice-looking sells page like
9:05
this is actually a pretty basic sales
9:07
page but you have graphics inst a couple
9:10
graphics here and there and the ebook
9:11
cover just live-ins it all up and i'm
9:14
going to sell it that way so now i can
9:16
get my new ebook set up on my cells page
9:18
and then i can send this link out to my
9:21
list which i generated with my free
9:24
reports so as you can see you know as
9:27
you continue to just drive traffic even
9:30
if it's a little bit those leads
9:32
continue to multiply and multiply and
9:33
multiply and multiply and then the more
9:37
they multiplied the more other separate
9:40
ebooks are going to write and or order
9:42
have someone else write and sell to that
9:45
list and then all of the people who buy
9:47
that ebook you're going to collect their
9:48
name and email and those are even higher
9:50
quality leads they're going to be added
9:52
to your list and that's going to
9:54
continue to increase and increase an
9:56
increase so as you can see your work
9:59
stays the same but the results multiply
10:03
them and that's how it works and that's
10:05
the goal and that's what I've done over
10:06
the years and it works very well it all
10:09
comes down to that heading what need are
10:12
you fulfilling what is your angle what
10:15
are you helping people with are you
10:16
really helping them do they care do they
10:19
want this do they want this information
10:20
find that out find out what they want
10:23
find out how you can help them find out
10:24
what the right angle is and you will
10:27
find success with this method and
10:29
internet marketing people people want to
10:32
learn how to rank in Google they want to
10:34
learn how to make money with adsense
10:35
they want to know how to make money
10:36
selling ebooks you know like this make
10:39
they want to make money so if you have a
10:41
good angle like that and you have
10:42
quality to provide them you can actually
10:44
show them how to make money then your
10:47
ebooks going to sell and then you can
10:50
also there's also other ways other
10:52
things that you can do with ebooks what
10:54
I've explained so far has been the most
10:57
me but there are some people who make
10:59
money in different ways I've had a
11:01
little success building links with PDF
11:03
so just have just a small PDF written
11:07
something with good quality and you can
11:09
go to places like scribd scr IBD com you
11:14
can upload your PDF for free you can go
11:19
to slideshare net and you can upload
11:23
your PDS for free and PDFs do get
11:25
indexed in the search engines so those
11:30
links that you have embedded in your
11:32
PDFs will get indexed and counted as
11:34
backlinks and depending on you know how
11:37
you do it where you're sharing it I'm it
11:39
can result in some good traffic as well
11:41
and it can increase your exposure so it
11:43
really all depends on your business
11:45
model your niche and several other
11:46
factors but that can be profitable as
11:49
well and then one last method that I've
11:51
done I've had a little success here and
11:54
there depending on the nits I've been in
11:57
several different niches and in some
11:59
niches I had no success and some niches
12:01
I had a decent amount of success doing
12:03
this but you can also just write a
12:04
report just maybe a short report and
12:08
embed affiliate links or links to your
12:11
own products etc in there and then
12:14
you're just giving away the direct link
12:15
directly to the PDF and you're profiting
12:19
from the affiliate cells that are made
12:20
through the e-book or the direct sales
12:25
to your other products etc and that can
12:28
work it really in many cases you need
12:30
quite a bit of traffic for that really
12:31
to be worth it but really depending on
12:34
your niche it really depends on several
12:36
different circumstances on whether that
12:38
makes sense to do that or not but it can
12:40
be profitable so I hope that helps
12:43
that's what I've done over the years to
12:45
make a pretty substantial amount of
12:47
money just with the same amount of work
12:50
generating traffic even if it's just a
12:52
little bit of traffic doing that will
12:54
help the results to multiply while your
12:57
work is about the same
