Everything you've heard about the Internet could be true.

Imagine waking up every morning and finding orders waiting for you in your email box. As you were sleeping customers from all over the world were giving you money. And you don't have to do anything because your computer takes the order, processes the credit cards, delivers the product and then deposits money in your bank account - all without you lifting a finger.
It's like having your own perfect moneymaking machine working for you tirelessly day and night.
I know it sounds like a pipe dream but it's not. Stick with me and I'll show you the absolute best way for the little guy (like you and me) to earn money on the Internet...
Think about the perfect web business:
* You have no competition. Everything you sell is copyright protected so you can't be 'knocked off'.
* Incredibly huge profit margins. People aren't paying for bits and bytes they are paying you for the value of the information. With a digitally delivered or 'downloadable' product your profit margin is nearly 100%. (Compare that
to any giant online retailer who can only compete on price and eek out a slim single digit profit margin)
* You can work from anywhere you wish. It doesn't matter if you're playing beach volleyball in Aruba or skiing in the Rockies. You can run your site from anywhere you can find an Internet connection.
* You can set up your business so it works on complete
autopilot (that's how my web site works right now).
* No need for employees. I have absolutely zero employees and I couldn't be happier not to deal with all those headaches and hassles.
* Incredibly low start up costs. You don't need a factory or even a store front because you can run your business in any spare space a computer fits.
* You get paid over and over again for work you do one time. Once you create your digital product you can keep selling over and over again. The work is done one time and you repeatedly profit from it.
Those are some pretty powerful advantages, right? Well, these are all the benefits of creating 'Digitally Delivered' Information Products.
And quite simply - I don't believe there is a better opportunity right now then selling a digitally delivered information product. I turned a profit after the first few weeks and now it just keeps growing and growing.
Throughout these articles I'll take you through the 7 steps I use to create instant Internet profits with 'digitally delivered' information products.
Step #1:
Brainstorm Your Winning Digital Information Product
Your first step is freeing up the creative juices inside your noggin.
The best way I know is to take a look a few examples of top selling digital information products so you can get a couple ideas.
Ebooks or Electronic books
Ebooks or electronics books are books that are downloaded on your computer either using an ebook compiler (this is special software that compiles HTML pages into a book) or as an Adobe PDF (portable document format) file. A PDF file is probably the most common and effective way to deliver an ebook because both Mac and PC users can read the book.
A PDF file will retain the same formatting and graphics across these different platforms.
Ebooks are really starting to get a lot of publicity due to Stephen King's recent ebook 'The Bullet' that 750,000 people downloaded.
Check out these sites to get an idea of a few ebooks that are selling well.

Ken Evoy, the author of Make Your Site Sell, sold tens of thousands of his ebook and this actually forced him to create a print version. So that's not a bad problem to have.

I highly recommend this ebook (and trust me I don't read many non-marketing books but this one really changed my life).
And there are lots of other subjects that ebooks work for.
Check out eBooks.com and see all the different subjects of ebooks they have available.
Membership Sites
Membership sites give users access to a private membership site protected by a password system.
Here is the successful membership site:
therichjerk forum
This is one of the first membership sites on the Net.
Templates or Tools
These are pre-made tools and templates for people to use right away. Tools are in extreme high demand because people are either too lazy or too busy to do things themselves. The more turnkey you can make it for them - the higher the price you can charge and the more sales you'll make.
Here are a few tools and templates on the Net now:
instantsalesletters
These are fill-in-the-blank templates for small business owners to create their own sales letters without writing.
Online Newsletter
Instead of sending a paper newsletter you could deliver content online to a subscriber-only area of your web site. A newsletter can be once per month, once per week or once per day. People pay for their subscription and the unique information you deliver.
Here's my favorite example:
campaigner
This is Gary Woodruf's newsletter. I think his newsletter's great and I really can't say enough good things about it. Gary delivers some of the most unique
and highly useable Internet marketing information I've seen. And he offers free trial too!
How To Come Up With Your Topic
Coming up with your idea is the fun part. You should go through all your experience and knowledge and try to come up with a list of possible projects.
* What do people always ask you about?
* Do you have special knowledge others would like to know?
* Have you experienced certain setbacks in life and
overcome them?
* Have you succeeded in a career that many people fail at?
* What subject, interest or hobby are you really passionate about?
You should brainstorm at least 10 project ideas. Trust me - it's not that hard. Carry around a small notebook with you and you'll be amazed at all the ideas you come up with.
Don't evaluate them. Just write them down.
I'll give you a great idea I just recently saw. Scot Dantzer created a tutorial 'how to' for people using Adobe Acrobat or PDF files.
He saw that there was a market of people that WANTED to create PDF files and he also found out that many people were timid or unsure about creating those files. So he created a step-by-step, easy to use manual filled with lots
of screen shots that walk people through the process.
He calls it the '5 Minute PDF Creator'. I have a copy and I found it extremely helpful.
Here's his site if you want to check it out (there's even a free demo version you can download):
richjerk. pdf
Adobe Acrobat (the program he teaches people about) comes with an instruction manual but he made it plain and simple for people to understand - and now he's selling quite a few copies of his new ebook.
Also, use this tool to give you an idea of what people *want* - it'll tell you how many searches were done on your subject:
inventory.overture
I hope that gives you a couple ideas and that should do it for day 1. Just try to come up and brainstorm with as many ideas and topics as you can for now. In the next installment of this course we'll tell you what we're going
to do with it.
