There are so many business models you can pursue as an Internet Marketer. As the New Year approaches, you may be planning to branch out in a new direction or you might still be plotting out your strategy for your very first foray into building an online business. You can build a membership site, create thousands of pages of content to fuel an AdSense campaign, be a mentor to others in your niche, act as a service provider who tackles tasks others would rather pay to have done – or develop your own info products that provide you with a residual income for many years. Info product development means many things to many people. An info product is a product that shares information with others – but the format in which it teaches can vary. Some marketers use an eBook, while others prefer making people pay for podcast or video productions. Any or all of the methods can help you generate a great income online, if the info product is created and marketed in a way that makes consumers rave about your abilities as a teacher. Info product development will still be very viable in the year 2010. Many newcomers to Internet Marketing mistakenly believe that because there are so many free blogs, websites and article directories chock full of information, there’s no way consumers would pay to gain information shared in a digital download. That’s not true now, nor will it be in the year 2010! Consumers have always been willing to pay for convenience. Take the free social networking site Squidoo. Not only had Seth Godin, the creator of the site and bestselling author, produced a guide of his own about Squidoo, but there were an endless number of lenses and threads in the forum that taught new lensmasters how to use the site. Yet every day consumers are paying money for a Squidoo guide that compiles it all in one place – usually written by someone who has achieved great results. Some people are left scratching their heads wondering why they would pay if it’s free elsewhere? Because they don’t want to sit and hunt and peck for hours trying to find step-by-step instructions on how to use the site for a specific purpose (to make money). First do the background research to see what kind of searches are being conducted for your niche topic. Then determine what media format would best convey your instructions to your audience. You might even find that a healthy combination of audio, video and written text is what makes your hungry audience crave your info products.
