There, I said it.

It's nothing personal. I'm sure that you already do a great job, but there is always room for improvement; there are examples all around us. And I am absolutely certain that you can find something, however small, that will make what you do just a little better.

How can I be so sure? I'll tell you.

Someone improved a pad of paper.

I'm not kidding... a pad of paper! It was one of those "cubes" with a design printed on sides (which, in itself, is an improvement over a regular pad of paper). But they went one step further and drilled a hole in one corner for a pen or pencil. Ingenious. Simple. Useful. Amazing.

I challenge you to start right away! Don't be intimidated; your improvements don't have to be quantum leaps in technology. Little things add up. For example, it is my goal to improve my website every day. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but I try to tweak it every day. Sometimes changes are big (a new page or feature), sometimes changes are small (fixing a typo or changing color or size of a word). But they all add up and website is lookin' pretty good, if I say so myself!

The trouble with life is, you need money. While most people do what they're supposed to and get a job, some strive for better things, reach that bit further, and try to set up their own business. Many are successful, but many more are not.

The problem is, businesses need start-up capital, office space, storage space, and hired help. This puts business, and owner, under enormous pressure to do well right from outset. Not easy when you consider overheads that have to be covered, such as rent, salaries, and purchasing of stock.

So message is, unless you already have a disposable income and a business degree, don't bother, right? Well, if you believed that, then I somehow don't think you'd be reading this, and guess what, it's wrong!

Digital delivery,

What is digital delivery? Well, it's simply a process by which certain products can be purchased over Internet. The payment is delivered directly to your bank account, and product likewise is sent digitally to customer.

So, what can you sell that can be delivered digitally? That's simple, information! The possibilities for an information-based product are almost endless and range from software, to specialist "how-to" reports, to e-books.

While there is profit to be made providing "real" info-products, like books, or CDs, these incur significant overheads through production, packaging, printing and shipping costs. A downloadable file, however, does not. The expenses mentioned simply don't exist, moreover product can be sent to customer immediately, which is always better than keeping them waiting for several days.

Why information?

Because it's a big seller! Information is number one selling product type on Internet today. Online buyers are now extremely comfortable with idea of buying an info-product that they understand will answer their questions, resolve a problem, and improve their life as a result. If you can create a product that does this, they'll buy it!

But what if you don't know how to write software, or an e-book. Well, you don't need to! There are a lot of good products out there in need of decent marketing. When you learn how to find them, you will always have quality products in your inventory to sell.
