Here's the basic plan:
- Product -- Multiple Products
- Sales Page for Product plus Shopping Cart
- Opt-In Lead Generation Page for Product plus Autoresponder
- Central Website using WordPress
- Promotion
You'll help with the initial website construction and training so they can run their own websites. Later, you'll still get asked to update websites so that will be ongoing additional work and income. And you'll make ongoing residual income by referring customers to SellBetter ToolBox, Easy Little Websites, Audio Acrobat, Instant Teleseminar, etc. (For your personal purchase, use my affiliate link. Then sign up your clients using your own affiliate link. This is completely ethical to do because you will disclose this in your client agreement.)
1. Product -- Multiple Products
Products can be easy or hard. Books are hard. Video is easier. Audio is easiest. There are a variety of products to help create products:
- Camtasia: For screen capture video.
- Sony "Sound Forge" Audio Studio: For recording and editing audio.
Plus you may want a headset or digital recorder. - Audio Acrobat: Hosts audio and video playback.
- Screencast.com: Hosts video playback.
- Instant Teleseminar: Hosts teleseminars, webcasts, and Powerpoint Webinars.
You can find all this and more at RichsList.com.
Help your clients set up a product plan so they have a plan to create a new product each month, or more often if appropriate.
