Venturing into 2010

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Mine was a blast as I spent it with my kids. That’s us in the pic. We live in 3 different countries so it’s nice when we get together. This Thanksgiving we spent it with family in New Jersey. It was wonderful being with them as well as being cooked for. The food was great—my hips are ample— and cruising around New York City was fabulous! My Xmas shopping, however, is far from over but in the midst of all that, I am happy to report that I’ve been travelling (I visited 5 states over the last 2 months – some work related) and working furiously on my new business venture that I will be launching in the coming days.  

Before I get to that, can you believe Christmas is upon us once again? It’s hard to believe that 2010 will be here before you know it. Wow! I’m happy about that though, as it’s one of my favourite seasons. I love milling around the mall shopping for prezzies and getting involved in all the festive activities.

But back to work, like many of you, I’ve re-evaluated my life and business, and where I want to be in 2010 as well as how best I can better serve you, my clients. As such, I’m very excited to announce that I am venturing into the world of Information Products. As you may know, my business is service based. While this is challenging and rewarding, I’ve decided that it is time to move on to the next level. No, I won’t be giving up my services, rather, I will add to it.

For starters, I have a FREE Special Report ‘Discover the 3 Simple Steps That Will Help You Start and Finish Your Book’ , that you can download from here. Simply fill in your name and email address in the subcription form, and you will have instant access.

As you can tell, I am, and have been a busy bee.

I hope you will take a few moments to look over the Report as it has valuable information that will assist you in your writing quest.  I welcome your thoughts and feedback and truly appreciate your comments.  

Please feel free to pass along my details and Free Report to anyone you know who might be interested in learning more about my products and services, and all of the helpful resources I will be launching in the coming year.  

Do have a super Christmas and a wonderful and Writetastic 2010!

Passive Income 24/7

I first learned about earning passive income when I read Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ years ago. It made so much sense to me.

What’s better than working fewer hours while earning without much effort—that is, after the initial investment or product is put in place.

One area that I would suggest you entertain where you can increase your revenue stream is information products, i.e. e-books and reports.

People are hungry for information; hence, there is an on-going need to feed their curiosity. With information products, your imagination is not limited. Further, the web is a great place to sell your creations.

E-books and reports are relatively easy to create and can be done in a matter of a few hours or days. A large e-book however, may take several weeks or months, but it’s worth the effort because once it’s done, with good promotion and well-chosen keywords, search engines will help with massive exposure thereby leading to enormous sales 24- hours a day for years to come.

In addition, you can add an affiliate program to increase the number of sales by getting other people to sell it for a commission. This enables further increase for passive income.

Reprint rights, too, creates passive income as you can charge a fee for people to have the complete reprint rights, and they can place their own affiliate links in the product and sell it for the same price to others.

I’ve researched other avenues where you can generate passive income, but I quite like information products. You don’t necessarily have to do any micromanaging per se. Once in place, the investment/product is not dependent on hands-on effort on a 9-5 basis, yet you can generate unlimited income 24 hours, 7 days a week. It’s so worth the initial investment.
