HELLO RESPECTED FRIENDS
People who’ve followed my multi-million dollar career in the book business often ask me where I get my ideas from. That’s especially true for those people who knew me back in the day when my family and I were getting evicted from our home and lost our last automobile to the repo man.My standard answer is I see ideas EVERYWHERE because I’m always looking for them (remember the ancient wisdom to “seek and ye shall find”?).I don’t watch a lot of television but I kept seeing ads featuring a popular comedian, who’s one of my favorites. He was selling an over-the-counter medication to relieve heartburn and acid reflux (gerd). Now I don’t have those conditions but the overwhelming frequency that I saw those ads told me a lot of other people must suffer with them. When I used some of my ninja Amazon search strategies I discovered that, at the time, there weren’t a lot of “information products” to show people how to treat heartburn and acid reflux naturally.It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a simple eBook with natural remedies for heartburn and acid reflux might pump up my bank account with a few extra bucks every month.Now it’s important to understand that I didn’t know anything about heartburn or acid reflux. But I could put myself in the position of someone who suffered regularly from that condition and ask myself what kind of information would I like to have to cure that awful feeling.In just a few hours, with a little surfing on the web, I came up with a (very) rough outline for the book. Then I created some simple specifications and found a freelance writer, who is a certified nutritionist, to write it. Next, I turned it over to a freelance editor (since I flunked English in college I’m probably not the right one to be editing :-) At the same time, I asked my long-time freelance designer to create an attractive cover for me. In about 30 days I had uploaded an eBook version of the finished product and within a few weeks of that I had rocketed to the top of the category at Amazon.All told I invested less than $750 and ten hours of my time. To date I’ve earned about $13,800. Any way you look at it, it’s been a fantastic payback. I made about $1,380 an hour for my ten hours of work. And I’ve enjoyed an astronomical return on my investment.But the bigger part of this story is that I’m likely to be earning money from this book twenty years from now. Why? Because it’s evergreen material. In other words, the information will be as good tomorrow as it is today – heartburn is likely to be around as long as humans inhabit the earth. When you’re looking to fund your lifestyle (which is what I’m all about) you’re looking for a good source of income. But you’re also looking for a long-term source of income. The right evergreen book can provide some of that income, and the really good news is that you can outsource (usually for peanuts) the entire process.
For more on my simple process for creating income from books, see the information I’ve prepared for you here…
As always, thanks for supporting our site :-)
