Dead ducks don't quack...
I struggled around for almost 18 months before I realized that to have real success online, I needed to have my own product.
After I realized that, I created my first one... then another... and another... I started to get obsessed with product creation.
And that's the topic of this newsletter is creating your own product. I'm going to show you 19 ways to create your own products quickly.
But, before I do, I wanted to talk about a few key things.
1st - don't do all the work yourself (we covered this before when we talked about outsourcing)
2nd - the key is quality content... It doesn't matter if you have to film in on your home camcorder or a recorded phone call... if the content is high quality - your customers will love you.
I paid $50 for a weightlifting DVD the other day, and when I turned it on... the opening scene was black.
Then you heard the guys wife say "I can't see anything."
A second later the guy said, "You've got to take the lens cap off honey!"
You then saw her take the lens cap off, and he started teaching.
Now, that was horrible quality, but the content was amazing. I ended up buying all 6 dvd in his series BECAUSE THE CONTENT WAS SO GOOD!
I know quite a few people who get caught up in making everything look too professional. I had one friend spent thousands of dollars filming and producing one DVD (which turned out very nice BTW) - but all of his budget was spent on
that, and had no moolah left over to market the product.
He still hasn't made his initial investment back.
My point isn't to make products that are crap - but to create the highest level quality content as possible, and your subscribers will appreciate it. I've been going back now with all of my old products and now repackaging them now that I can afford to.
3rd - just do it. Remember from before my motto "Ready, Fire, Aim." Get the product idea, create it and get it out there as fast as possible. Money follows speed, and if you don't go fast you will loose out.
Another reason to go fast is because what if your product is a flop? Another important lesson is to fail fast. I've known one person who's been trying to sell the same ebook for the 5 years I've known him with absolutely no success.
Like my friend Marlon Sanders says, "Dead ducks don't quack!" If you have a dead duck - move on to something new - FAST!
4th - people pay different prices for the same content delivered in different ways.
What I mean is that you can sell an ebook for $27. Now, if you take that exact same content, record it into a "book on CD" - you can sell that same content (in a different format) for a lot more - usually $97 or more.
Now, let's say you want to go to the next level... what if you took the audio, and the text, and combined them into a video. You could make a camtasia video that shows the bullet points from the book as the audio reads through them.
Or create an outline from the text, and record yourself teaching the concepts...
There are a million ways to switch forms of content - but just remember that people pay more for audio then they do text... and more for video then they do audio.
Ok - now that that is out of the way - let's get to work.
Here are 19 ways to create a product:
1st - Software Creation - Creating software is one of the easiest ways to create a product fast. You can create something for almost any niche. I have one client who had a public domain book about dream interpretation - so he had someone create a software program for under $100 where the user could type in a word, and if found that interpretation in the book and displayed it for the end user.
2nd - Public Domain - this is one of my FAVORITES!!! These are "works" where the copyrights has expired. You are able to take these and re-package them and sell them as your own products!
3rd - Interviews - interview an expert in ANY field and sell the recordings and/or the transcripts. This is the best way to become an expert in any field - just interview the experts and people will see you as one of them.
4th - Seminar Videos - put on your own seminar, record it with a video camera and sell the footage.
5th - Re-niche content - if your selling a product (or bought rights to a product) - you can re-niche it for a different audience. Example would be if you sell a book about speed reading, re-niche it to "speed reading for students."
6th - Book on CD - record yourself reading your book and sell it on cd.
7th - Resource CD - compile a list of resources for a specific niche, and sell the directory. I've personally bought resources on supplements directories and also one on "spy" stuff. (I know - I'm a geek)
8th - Recycle content - take products or content you've created in the past and re-use it. I'm using this blog post as a newsletter, an article, probably a chapter in a future book... Recycle what you're doing now.
9th - Camtasia Video - this is one of the most powerful tools online marketers have. Create screen capture videos of anything you can do on your computer. Demos of software - PowerPoint slides, how to... anything computer related. Think how much moolah the "computer professor" makes by making "how to" videos for different Microsoft products.
10th - Idea collection - Combine a list of ideas and sell those. I've got friends who sell list of ideas on how to make money quickly, how to clean your carpets, how to take care of lawns, etc...
11th - Others experts submit content - get others to submit articles, or audios, or vidoes, and compile them into a product. I did this with one of my wrestling products. I had people submit their best stories, pictures and poems and compiled them into a product.
12th - Podcasts - like an online radio show that you can download. Have paid podcasts - or record a bunch, then take the recordings and put them onto CD's.
13th - Membership sites - have residual income coming in when people pay you over and over again for access to your membership site. You can provide content in your membership sites - or create software programs that people have to pay monthly to use.
14th - Teleseminars - just record yourself interviewing someone or teaching on a subject that you know a lot about. The majority of my products were created with some type of teleseminar.
15th - Ghostwriters - hire someone (think outsourcing again) to write a book on a the subject that you want to sell.
16th - Free coaching calls - do free coaching calls for your members, track their progress, then compile the recordings into a product.
17th - Mastermind roundtables - get a group of experts together and have them discuss the subject - record the full thing and you've got an instant product!
18th - Private Label - similar to public domain, but usually created w/ the intent to sell w/out a copyright. A million ways to use private label stuff. Most people fail at this because they try to sell the content "as is." Be sure to make it your own and you'll have a ton of success with these.
19th - Case studies - one of the best products I bought this year is 12 hours of case studies. The people teaching the course compiled hundreds of casestudies for the subject we were learning about, and then explained how they all worked.
Ok - there's 19 ideas. Hopefully that will give you an idea for your first product.
Look out for the next issue - We've got some exciting things planned. :)

IcerocketHi Russell,
Thanks for all your great tips!
:D
Ok, Russell, you must stop the madness and quit giving out such great free content! Ok?!?! How 'bout keeping some of these "secrets" just to ourselves, huh? :wink:
Excellent list, Russell. I actually prefer to use public domain and private label products as a starting point for new products. I would be interested in hearing a bit more about the case study example.
Thanks,
Cy
Thanks for the great info here.
Without a product we do not have a business. May I add that info is useless without action. Take action from wherever you are and start seeing result, however small it is. Great info from Russel Brunson here, the next step is to act on it.
Great stuff!
Getting myself to give up perfection (which I never attain anyway) is the big battle. And I doubt that I am alone on that one.
On another note, Windows Media Encoder is free and does a pretty fair job at your 9th suggestion.

Some great tips here Russel, thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated :D

Russell,
You've got a real winner with your blog! Yours is one of the very few that I look forward to reading and have made a point not to miss.
I'm glad you pointed out that when getting started our product doesn't have to be absolutely perfect so long as the content is great. That's one of the things that has held me back.
Thank you for the great tips and encouragement!
Ready, Fire, Aim. :-)
Man, love that, and keep it strong big guy.
Russell,
I think your strategies of "Money follows speed" and "fail fast" are incredibly profound.
This is a great reminder for me that I need to work faster.
Thanks,
Jacob
Hi Russell, I love your 'ways to create a product' list. I have always known about a few of those ways, but not all of them. You have given my some great ideas. Thank you! :D :D :D
Hey Russell,
Fantastic ideas! Thanks for the post. I'm learning a ton from your posts/emails. :D
Russell, I’ve heard of you for a while, but have sampled your work for the first time just recently. I’m impressed with the scope of your knowledge of the subjects you deal with and your ability to separate the kernels from the chaff—and there certainly is a lot of chaff out there! I look forward to hearing/reading/experiencing some of your in-depth work.
Philip Dale Smith
Hi Russell;
There is a lot of info. there
to absorb, it is very interesting and to the point.
I'm sure I will make use of some of the ideas shortly.
The other interesting thing
I found was your Ready, Fire,
Aim.....Shouldn't it read Ready, Aim, Fire? If not, why
not?
Russell,
These 19 little things have broadened my horizon. I liked your 8th, 10thand 15th point, these are one the most vital tools for regular momentum in any business...

Great info thanks.To answer one of the above questions Ready fire aim means you fire it as soon as possible and make changes(aim)along the way because many people get ready,they aim but never fire(me included) :-)
Hi Russell,
Thank you for the shopping list! There's some great ideas, and a few of them are only seen rarely. Really like the idea of "switching content".
:wink: Good ideas.
Hi russel
once again you have put everything into a nutshell that really headlines your common sense approach to marketing.
Take the lens cap off honey, hahahah now THATS funny!!! Ok dude I have a question about public domain right. Where on earth do you find those. Yanik had included a link in an email some time ago or maybe it was ros gardner? I think it was gugenheim or something like that but they werent exactly "public domain" expired works. Think you could be kind enough to post a link or two PALEASE!!!! :lol:
Hi Russell,
I think that you provide to all your adherents
complete direction and guide how to stay focused on your own GOALS and
ENDEAVORS.
It's amazing!
I found very useful information here.
You know what Bill Gates once said:
"Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into
thinking they can't lose."
Thanks a lot and ...Go For It!

Hi Russel and other readers,
You may know this already; however, one major 'guru' know he made it when he sold his BOOKMARKS.
And after all the sales settled, $4.2-million in sales were complete.
Now there's a downside, after selling all that 'product' his merchant account shut him down.
He had to pay the $2-M in commissions out of "pocket".
That's why when you talk about the speed of product creation it's also important to focus on product payment acceptance with a merchant who understand our industry.
This same guru, several others, and myself use http://www.merchantaccounthero.com
What do you think of J. Smith?
Great post Russell. It's always nice to get some good advice at a price tag everyone can afford. :-)
Hi Russell,
I want to thank you for all your helpful and good advice. I'm fairly new at this and what you say makes sense and I'm following your advice. I think it's great of you to share it with us.
:D
Hi Russell,
Great tips - I'm going to pass them on to some of my students.

Thanks Russell,
That dang perfectionist gene keeps getting in the way..but now I realize you gave me the solution! :wink:
Hi Russell,
thanks alot for your 19 ideas, they're certainly very useful for average netpreneurs like myself.
In fact, from the list you gave, I can see that there are also ways to "mix & match" some of these 19 ideas as well, as what many of the experts & "gurus" out there are doing already ( e.g. membership sites having camtasia videos + free coaching calls )
Regards,
John
Always worthwhile remembering that some of the world's most famous "gurus" have never written their books and articles. They use ghost-writers.
Also, I love this quote from Robert Benchley (the author of dozens of books):
"It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous."
What this means is that Russell's first three points on this page are essential to understand.
Hire people and get stuff out there - you will succeed.
Hi Russell,as far as i can see you have a great lot of supporters,I,v just only signed up a few hours ago, and so many people can,t be wrong.Thank you for having me registered.Regards Zilda :-)
Thanks so much Russell! This is very timely stuff for me, as I'm working on several products at once. You've inspired me to pick just one and get on with that, without further ado!
Good luck to you!
Hi Russell,
Like you I also struggle terribly. Now I am in my 8 months already doing affiliate marketing. I have bought alot of ebooks and even an offline coaching. But, it seems that most of the time you need to have people support you in order to succeed. Right now I have problems finding the right people and my right products.

thanks a lot and best wishes
see you later.
Thank you for the useful, information-loaded post. I will have to come back here!!
Very good idea to recycle material. Sometimes just a shift in focus makes it useful to a different user base. Thanks.
You ideas are great if one has the know-how and they're not shy.
Something I've been thinking about for a long time is writing or videoing a write-up about Internet scams. I've lost about $15,000 in 2 yrs. You'd be amazed at the people & programs I would name. :evil: It sure needs to be written, if not my me, then someone else. I think I'd be afraid of getting sued.

Great content Russell. You are exactly right about Public Domain resources and ghostwriting. In my experience those are the two best ways to create products fast and easily.

Question: Where would be the best place (i.e. speed and cost) to get a piece of software created?

From Russell
If i need something fast - I always go to www.Scriptlance.com. Hope this helps.
The ideas are good. Nothing new to me. The whole point is "just do it" and "how to do it".
Execution is crucial in any success business stories. I have probably more than 19 ideas, but if I get one of them executed successfully, I will be very rich.
Good luck!

Hi Russell,
very sound advice you have offered . I like it and will put them into use straightaway .
Before i go away , i like to ask you a bit more about private label > can you explain more on how to get it and why ?
siew allen : :D :roll:

From Russell
Private label is simply a product that's already created that you are purchased the rights to sell. Best site for PL stuff (of course I'm biased) is http://www.Self-Improvement-Millionaires.com.

Russell, I'm a graphic designer by trade who spent many years in advertising. I have lots of creativity but I'm a newbie to the internet. I wonder if you can suggest good resources for me. (Like where can I go to learn to create a landing page and set up a credit card acct say, for a book to sell with graphics? That's how greeeen I really am.) Perhaps you or a saint out there could point me in the right direction.

Hey Judi
First, I hope you've listened to the 2 hour audio. If not, it's here: www.dotcomsecrets.com/squeeze/

Thanks for the great info.
I've always been one of those people who jumps before she looks. If it looks good, I jump on board and if it's free it's for me. I've joined hundreds of programs just out of curiosity and most of them were worth the five minutes or so it took me to sign up, then years later I find them still getting sign-ups, so I must be doing something right.
We could also say, "Ready, Go! Set. Right? To heck with looking before you leap, that's too boring.

Brainstorming ideas. One day I was thinking about HOW I could create a useful product. I thought of the products that others had created, which I had heard about. I thought, "How can I create a new product?" As I began thinking about creating a new product, I thought of all the work that I must do, once I get a new idea. I began listing all the steps that seemed important to me, to get a new idea "off the ground."
Before I knew it, I had a list of "20 Things to do to get a new product into production." It was just a few pages in length, but, it contained all of the steps necessary, which came to mind, to get a new idea "off the ground, and into production and into print, and on to obtaining sales, and of course profits.
I began advertising my new Report, and it has sold very well ever since. I believe people have new product ideas all the time. They think of them,.. and then they lose them. We must "capture" those ideas and set about, following my 20 steps, to getting those new ideas into production. "The greatest enemy of success is the lack of immediate action."
Russell - I have spent fortunes on ebooks, courses and cr*p, but I have never come across such great content as I have in your new magazine and here.
You stand head and shoulders above the majority of online marketeers in my book and I really appreciate your help.
You have done great things and I am sure this is just the start.
Thank you so much for your help. What goes around comes around and I am sure you have a lot coming to you..... All good to.
thanks again for putting me on the right path. I am learning a little more every day and my 3 sites are slowly coming together.

Hey Russ, to tell you the truth, most people have plenty of ideas.
Ideas are what I refer to as "strategy."
The problem most people encounter is the exact step by step
instrcutions they need to implement their ideas.
I would refer to this as "tactics."
Ideas are a dime a dozen. When are you gonna start giving
some real content? Show some tactics!

Thanks :)
One of the best lists on creating products ever... :-)
You forgot one though - make it an even 20 -
20.) Graphics - use your artistic side to create new graphics for websites and digital products, then sell them!
Thanks!

Very informative Russell - you have my vote so far! Recycling is a great idea - after all when did anyone have an original idea. Thanks again

Congrats...
This gets the award for my "post of the month".
The Public Domain is a goldmine for the rockhound and your assessment of the opportunities it contains is simple truth. It requires many of the same traights that are found in the art of sifting through the earth to find rough uncut gems. Young eyes are good to spot the shiny peices but do not assess well, so you had better team up in a search as well as assessment - both experienced and otherwise.
Congrates on an attractive and engaging site!
Barry
Hey,
Great Post...thanks a million. Its great
to see others willing to help others. Bottom
line is, you help enough people get what
they want and it will help you get what you
want. Right? Right!
Thanks Again,

Hi, Russell,
Thanks for all the tips, it's an eye opener.
oat.
Very interesting seeing your comments about audio and video.
Personally I feel that text is the ONLY way to learn. I refuse to listen to any audio or watch any video.
If you put audio or video on your sales page you can cross me off your list of potential buyers. Sadly, for both of us, A or V on the sales page means I am very unlikely to read it.
Creating your own product is the easy part. Getting someone to buy it is what takes nothing short of a miracle. I create my own product, give copies to reputable marketers to evaluate and, if the replies are good, which they usually are - fire. The result? 2 or 3 copies sold - at most.
You really need to be a big name guru or you'll never sell anything. Quality makes no difference to sales potential. Big name + rubbish = Big Sales. No name + quality = No Sales.
Hey Russel;
Thanks for all the info. We'll put it to work right a way.
Best Regards,
Richard Echeverria

I want say what is is in case it gets nabbed!!
Hi Russell,.. Great Tips! Although I wrote earlier, and offered my "20 Steps to getting a New Idea off the ground" I failed to tell your readers how to get a copy! Sorry! Just email me and request a copy and I will email a copy right to you!

Great Tips Russel. Very educational for newbies and pros. ;-)
Dear Russell:
Thank you for actually telling people how to do this stuff. Most of the stuff I read is a long dredge of words that tell you nothing. I love your newsletter and look forward to it every issue.
Keep up the good work. God bless you in all your endeavors.

Hi Russell
Sharing is a truly noble thing. Thank you for giving back.
Loved your movies. I sat up until 2am watching them. Terrific content.
This is just more of the same to bring it on home.
Thanks

I have been enjoying your emails. They are very informative. I just started affiliate marketing in June of this year and have learned a lot but I find myself stumped as far as coming up with a product of my own. I know a little about a lot of things, but not a lot about one thing that will sell, and I have been racking my brain. I'm 44 years old and a disabled vet so I do feel a little pressure to come up with something. I don't say this a bid for sympathy, I was just explaining the reason for the pressure. I love to write and am good at that. I think I could make money that way if I could just come up with an idea. I saw your 19 ideas for products and I do have a bunch of ebooks that I have downloaded form the web, but I bet most are outdated. Any suggestion there?
Russel
fantastic tips.
Thanks for sharing with everyone..

Hi there, Russell,
I think you have forgotten the most important thing on your list: effective creation, writing a book from scratch. Anybody likes the easy way (or the lazy way to be more specific), but this is only a big waste of time and money.
Have you ever felt that feeling that comes with a job well done and finished? If you don't, try it sometimes and them send me an email and tell me how it's like...

Great information!
Your hit the nail on the head with "Dead ducks don't quack!"
It's like the old saying, don't beat a dead horse. Some people don't know when to limit their losses and move on.
Your 19 points are great advise.
Don Allen
Dear Mr Russell,
Thanks being so much informative,
Like u I also have varied ideas, for example,
the journey I completed of 32 yrs of my clinical practice.
I remember the 1stday when I was teached how to take sutures of an accidental leg!
Many things did change, and such things are extremely common now!
Please suggest how to put in the professional manner!
Dr.ele
I really appreciate sharing this step-by-step process!
These are some great tips. I've got to borrow a video camera from somebody. I've got so many ideas in my head now it's going to explode. Thank you.
I can feel the wheels turning as I read. Some great ideas that can be quickly followed up on.
Hi Russell,
Thanks for your great tips. They are amazing. I really appreciate that you share your secrets to us. I've learned a lot from them. Thank you again.

Hi Russel,
I remember Marlon Sanders getting up at Armin's Big Seminar and delivering his "Dead Ducks Don't Quack" presentation. It was vintage Marlon, thoroughly animated, and giving out some of the best info available. Thanks for the blast from the past.
James
Awesome. You Gave me some NEW ideas I will be implimenting right away!

thanks for these marvellous tips!! hope to get more tips like these more often!! cheers
Russell, Thank You, so much, for the ideas. My wife was just diagnosed with Lupus and Terminal Cancer. I had to quit my JOB and be home with her because she is ailing so quick. I have to make money immediately to support my 5 children and her ecperimental medicine. I hope to get these ideas going quickly. I am brand new to the internet and only hope I can figure out how to make these C.D.'s and other products. Thank You, once again, for the pointers. May God Bless You and Your Family, John, Jan, and Family
That is one secret to save money!
Thanks Rusell for the 19 tips.
I mostly appreciate your point no 2 that is using public domain.
That will be a great way to save money while creating your own product. And one of the best way to make money is to save money.
But can you recommend how to get public domain materials.
Olowole Jetro
Thanks for the tips Russell... always looking for new ideas!
Great post Russell.
I would like to see some more information on how you make private label stuff yours. Right now I've purchased a lot trying to get some ideas for my own product.
Hi Russell,
Thanks for sharing. I am new to the Internet business and really appreciate every bit. I would like to learn more about public domain. Could you expand on this topic in the future?
there is my site but I do not have nothing to sell can you give me an idea. Thanks
Thanks for the tips and ideas. I am new to this type of business. I sell collectibles and am trying to go into different avenues of selling.
Since this is a new concept for me, like someone else wrote above "I sign up for everything", well that is exactly what I am doing.
Barbara
Thank you Russell. Your article is very impressive. Especially the step that I missed. I'm trying to create my own products by following the other website products. my first product will give it free to the public and the next will be priced.
Thanks Russell,
That dang perfectionist gene keeps getting in the way..but now I realize you gave me the solution!
Thank you Very much for tips, I am searching for long time advice like this.
