Selling Information
For Fun and Profit
By Terry Dean
Selling information
can easily be described as the most exciting and rewarding business any
entrepreneur can or ever will be involved with.
Multi-Millions of
dollars worth of information are sold every single day throughout the
world. Are you taking part? Have you decided to become an Infopreneur? If you look at the
major success stories online...almost without fail every single one of the
them sells Information in one format or another. They are Infopreneurs on
the Information Superhighway (I define an Infopreneur as an entrepreneur
who sells information). If you stop a minute
and think you will also realize that the wealthiest man on the planet,
Bill Gates, is an infopreneur. He creates software, which is an
information product, and has become so successful at doing this that
almost every computer on the planet comes equipped with HIS software. What are the benefits
of being an Infopreneur: 1) It has a Low
Start-up cost.
It costs next to
nothing to start an information business. If you want to start a
franchise, you have to spend as much as $600,000 or more just for the
rights to get started. You can get started in your own information
business for much less than $1,000. 2) It has low
inventory costs. You can keep little or
no inventory. Many Infopreneurs become their own "Publishing Bakery." This
means that they keep a very small amount of inventory on hand at any
moment. When they receive an order, they print it out, copy it, or package
it up. They MAKE their product when the orders come in. 3) It is easy to
Ship and deal with. Information products
are easy to ship and deal with. They rarely get damaged in shipping and
usually have a low weight and shipping cost involved with them. They can
easily be sent anywhere in the world. Plus with the growth of the
internet, it is even becoming easier because many products can be made
available to your customers online the SAME DAY as they order without any
shipping cost involved. 4) It has a High
Mark-up. Information products
have a high mark-up because people are not paying for the format things
are delivered in. They are paying for the valuable information which is
contained inside. Therefore, actual production costs are not relevant and
can not be applied when dealing with these types of products. 5) It can be used
as a lead generator. No matter what type of
business you are in, you can produce an information product which is used
as a lead generator. Thousands of consultants in all different fields have
found that once they packaged up their knowledge and experience in an
information product it could be sold and bring in even more business for
their other services. You can do the same type of thing. Do a product in
your field and sell it to bring in MORE business for your other products
or services. The easiest business
to get started in on the internet is selling information. Now, let's take
the next step and show you exactly how to get started.
The title of this
article says that I am going to show you how YOU can quickly and easily
get into your own publishing business. I am going to do exactly that right
now. Below are the three Ways you can get started TODAY in your own
information publishing business: 1) Become a Dealer
for other people's products. This is the cheapest
route in most cases...in both time and monetary expense. You can get
started as a dealer today and pay anywhere from $0 to $495 for the rights
to sell dozens of products. The advantage is that it is low cost and you
could get started this evening. There are thousands of
dealer and affiliate programs available across the net. You can check out
http://www.associateprograms.com/ for information on many of them.
Choose to sell exactly what you want and get started this evening.
The disadvantage of
becoming a dealer for other people's products is that you are severely
limited in your income potential. Most dealer programs only offer you 10%
to 50% (Most of the 50% ones also cost hundreds of dollars to join) of the
profits on your sales. This can be a problem because you have to pay for
the advertising! Many people find that although they make money as a
dealer, it is nowhere near what they make through the other two options
below. 2) Create Your Own
Product. If I really had to
choose which of these 3 options produced the longest term income it is
this one. Your income potential is truly unlimited when creating your own
product. No one can tell you how much you make. You can choose the type of
business which gets you the most excited. It's your choice. You become the
master of your own destiny.

on this option, check out our article "The Big Lie..." which is available
on our website at

The disadvantage of
creating your own product is the TIME involved in doing so. You have to do
the research, experience the results, create the products, and more. Then,
you have to create the marketing materials to go with it. It can take a
very serious time commitment to create your own products. Many people
either don't have the time or aren't willing to spend the time doing this. 3) Buy Reprint
Rights to a Successful Product. A third option is to
buy reprint rights to a product which is already successful. Then, you can
get to keep ALL OF THE MONEY. You don't have to share it with the This is probably the
easiest way to make maximum profits in your business from day one. The
product is already done and has marketing materials which come with it. It
can be sold the same week you buy it (You have to wait for it to be
shipped to you, but that is all you have to wait for).
The disadvantage of
purchasing reprint rights to a successful product is the cost involved. It
could cost you anywhere from $997 to $15,000 for a high quality product
with FULL reprint rights and no royalty fees. That is a hefty chunk on
change, but I have profited many times through buying reprint rights in
this way. You can do the same!
