A letter to a friend
Published: Tue, 05/05/09
Hey,
Marlon here.
Yesterday I talked to someone from times past who was very
successful in the info product business teaching people how to
become consultants.
But this Internet thing is ALL "new school" to him.
Here is the letter I wrote to him. I hope you find some of it
helpful:
========================================
Hello,
Here is a little video I recorded for you that shows you how to
navigate with tabs on Internet Explorer:

Steve, there are a lot easier ways to make bank online. I will
explain them over the phone.
Here are a few resources:
1. http://www.odesk.com
You hire temporary/part time help there for $1-3 per hour. You
won't find a great editor at that price but there IS a lot of
talent dirt cheap.
2. To create info products, use:
http://www.kunaki.com
They will print a full color CD cover, duplicate the cd or DVD and
ship direct to the customer for dirt cheap. This puts you in the
CD and DVD business with no investment.
3. Book printing
http://www.lightningpress.com
================================================
SPONSOR AD
If you want to have your OWN product to sell
so you can keep 100% of the money instead of
only 50%, then here is a step-by-step solution
with screen captures AND videos:

=================================================
4. If you want to learn more about how to use Kunaki, Lightning
Press or other resources, you just go to:
http://www.youtube.com
You type kunaki or lightning press or hostgator or how to ftp or
how to set up wordpress in the search box. You'll find some
really great videos at no cost.
Let's say you want to record a cd you can submit through kunaki
and you can't figure out how to record on your computer.
You just go to youtube and type "how to record cd audio on
computer" or something like that. And you'll get short videos
that are very helpful.
5. If you are selling a digital product under $100 you can set it
up on http://www.clickbank.com
If it's a cd or dvd, you can set up the ordering on paydotcom.
6. Here is a link to the software that can run google searches
for you faster. The keyword research part stays valid even if you
don't buy:
http://www.marketsamurai.com
Here you can find keywords with decent search volume and low
competition to target with Adwords or article marketing.
7. Go to Google and type this in:
how to become a consultant
All the web sites you see there have blogs and lists and could
sell your products. You just have to email them or give 'em a call
on the phone. I'd call some of the people there using the contact
info on their web site.
Find out if there online forums for consultants now.
8. Here are few things to look at:
www.consultantsconsultant.com.au/
consultantjournal.com
www.acnconsult.org/
9. Go here and search on "consultants"
http://groups.yahoo.com/
Most of all...NO paralysis of analysis.
Get some products out the door. Contact some web site owners and
list owners and see if they will promote.
See if they are members of an online forum
Best wishes,
Marlon Sanders
