Sure, CNN will be full-video in 5 years. But I can ALREADY watch TV!

Sure, "BIGCOs" of world are moving their current business online, and will become progressively more visually oriented.

But that reduces Net to a more efficient catalog or a faster way to do business.

Small business people will remain backbone, real reason for Net to even exist. And THAT Internet will STAY text-based for at least 10 years, likely much longer. -----SIDEBAR----

Phew, glad I got THAT off my chest. Now, where was I? Oh yes, Web is a TEXT communication medium. However...

Somewhere along way, we have become obsessed with everything except how to write that TEXT. I can't overemphasize its supreme importance. ANYONE who communicates on Net, even if it's only via e-mail, NEEDS this book. (It is "#1 must reading" for our support staff.)

In truth, it's not ONLY for online marketers...

EVERONE needs this book. EVERYONE.

If you don't insist that your children READ this book, you're doing them a disservice. If you don't tell YOUR audience same thing, you're doing THEM a disservice.

Ditto for children of your audience!

As I said above, MYCPS! shows you, step by step, clearly...

1) how to write to COMMUNICATE

2) how to develop your own "voice" with flair and substance

3) how to spin your site/biz/self into a unique position

4) how to honestly convince people to trust and like you.

No other book in world shows you how to do this. We live in a world where communication is #1 skill set of value. Without that skill, you're doomed.

THAT is why this book is so important. And THAT is why I call this book... ------- ---3--- -------

"One Heck Of A Paddle"

That state of writing in english world is absolutely abysmal. And there is no reason for it. If anything is holding small business back on Internet, it's writing.

Most small businesses can't afford to hire a writer.

And most small business people can't write.

So where does that leave them on Web, where written word is king?

It leaves them up a certain creek, without a paddle.

Well, MYCPS! is one heck of a paddle.

When we think of "writing," we think of Hemingway. But...

Hemingway had a gift.

Writing to PREsell is not a gift.

Writing to PREsell does not REQUIRE a gift.

Writing to PREsell is a skill you can ACQUIRE.

MYCPS! helps you acquire that skill.

It helps EVERYONE acquire that skill.

And I do mean EVERYONE. -----

Which brings me to where this book belongs...

In EVERYONE'S hands. That's why... Check it out here: Discover how to Create a Web site that Sells.

Step 4. Show People The Solution - Videos

Technology has advanced to point where you can easily produce very high quality videos from your own home office.

These videos can be tutorials showing screen shots, interviews with experts or a combination of camcorder shots with screen shots.

Now, there is tremendous money to be made in developing multimedia based products - however we will be very conservative with our estimates here, we'll assume you develop this product 6-months into your business and that it will be a $47 DVD (in reality they can often be priced much higher - depending on topic and uniqueness of content) --

25 sales X $47 = $1175/month or $7050/6months

Step 5. Offer Services

If you have selected your market carefully, tapped into a wave of demand and offered a unique solution or system to solve a particular problem - then people will come to you looking for help beyond your product.

Offering consulting, coaching, mentoring, implementation or other services may not be your first goal, but requests will come and you may as well prepare by pricing and marketing your services in advance.

To this day, I still fight most consulting engagements - I simply love creating products too much. But offering consulting or other services does bump up your monthly income and is a great way to stay in touch with your market - first hand.

Typical consulting rates range from $150-$300/hour. For this example, I'll assume minimal consulting at just 10-hours per month and assume your first consulting income will not be generated for first 6-months as you build your customers and reputation.

10hours/month X $150/hour = $1,500/month or $9,000/6months

THE GRAND TOTAL

So far we have following:

$40,200 from main product $6,660 paid teleseminars $32,160 additional products from recording teleseminars $9,600 from related affiliate products $7,050 from video/multimedia products $9,000 from consulting and services

TOTAL $104,670

What I have outlined here is a completely reasonable, and in many cases, very conservative estimate of what you can do in your first year of becoming an infopreneur.

It's model I followed, as have most other online marketing success stories. While split of numbers may look different, categories are pretty consistent.

Most important is that you select a target market and niche demand that is red-hot, in-demand and that people have proven propensity to spend.

From there, you will find that blowing estimates used above out of water is a very realistic possibility.
