How to Make an Audiobook into an eBook

Have you ever thought about how to make an Audiobook into an eBook? This may seem a bit backwards to you. You may be thinking that first you create the script and then record it. In this article, I'm going to discuss how you could create a new product by reversing the steps.

It's true. Most people would write their eBook first, and then record it. In other words, they would make their eBook before they'd create their audiobook.

But, some people don't need to write out an entire eBook or script in order to make a recording. They simply jot down a few notes and maybe the main points for what they want to cover, push record, and then start talking. For them a three hour product would take about three hours to produce.

But suppose that they now want to create a new product that consists of text only.Creating a transcript can be quite time-consuming, even for someone who does it on a regular basis, and unless you enjoy doing that sort of thing, can be rather boring.

Why would anyone want to create a document (a lower value product) from a recording (a higher value product)? Answer? Because that new product could be used to entice prospects to sign up in order to get it for free.

In other words, a written product, such as an eBook, could be a cheap or even free means for a prospect to obtain valuable information all for the price of an email. And there wouldn't have to be anything special about the transcript. It would simply be a printed version of the audio recording they just made.

What is the simplest way to create an eBook from an audio recording. Answer? Subcontract someone to transcribe the recording. There are numerous people who will do this for you, and you can find them on Craigslist, Elance, or anyone of a number of other directories where people offer their services. Of course, prices vary, and a recommendation is preferable to a shot in the dark.

You'll need to allow some lead time for this, anything from a few days to a week or so. The best transcribers usually have a backlog to clear up.

Another way is to use voice recognition software. Dragon Naturally Speaking is probably the industry standard. A good place to look for something that's less expensive is on SourceForge or CNET. Both of these sites will tell you how many people have downloaded the software.

Super Charge Your Sales And Retention By Using Loyalty Bonuses

When you sell digital products online, which is that someone pays money over the internet for a report, training, or set of videos, there's the weakness that if someone wants their money back you basically have to refund their money 100% guaranteed, no questions asked. Even if you personally happen to have a different refund policy, if someone really wants their money back they will take it.

Instead of trying to fight refunds, let's make the products you provide much more appealing so that people will buy from you more and refund from you less using loyalty bonuses.

These loyalty bonuses are great because it gets people to keep consuming content after your refund period, makes for a nice surprise with your customers and it helps you to keep in contact with them when you want to present future offers.

The industry standard for digital products on the internet is 30 days or 60 days, one month or two months after someone has purchased from you, they can get their money back for any reason at all, even if they consumed your entire product and just decided they weren't going to implement your system, they can get a refund.

What you can do is sell someone a particular product, then drip out what are called Loyalty Bonuses. Maybe on Day 15 you give them an extra bonus report, maybe on Day 30, 60 or 90 you present a group coaching call, a recording training call, or even some kind of one on one telephone coaching over Skype. Just the fact that you put something out there a few days or weeks after the refund period was over shows you were willing to go that extra mile to help them get results, and makes it much less likely someone will refund while they are still within that period.

Another thing that's great is that you don't have to necessarily announce these bonuses, even before they buy from you. What if someone bought a five part training course from you on real estate and as soon as they came to that download page and went to download their product, you announced an additional video that is going to come out one month from today, to make sure that they are still on track and still making progress. It makes for a nice surprise. And what if when they received that extra video one month from today, you announce that they will be getting another video one month from that point on. It's always great when we've paid for something, weeks or months ago, and an additional bonus pops up.

Above all the reason why you want to drip out your content, even if someone only pays you one time is to keep in contact with these customers. If someone is used to hearing from you, from email once a week and from webinars or other presentations once a month, you are always in their mind, and when it comes time to launch your next big course you don't have to build up that goodwill, that reputation, that rapport once again - you're already talking to them.

The Secret To Your Online Success

The secret to your online success may not be what you have been told to believe, but it is about time you knew the truth about what you really have to do if you stand a chance of making big money online. In my experience this is the only way you can get in with the big boys and be able to compete on a level playing field.

Strangely, most of the people in the know, and some people call them guru`s although I can think of a few better ways to describe them, will tell you that the easy way to make money online is to be an affiliate marketer. If you are an affiliate marketer you do not need to create a website or a blog, everything is already set up for you so that all you need to do is promote your affiliate link and sell someone elses product. Sounds so simple doesn`t it?

The truth is altogether more unpalatable unfortunately, and here is the crux of the matter. You see, to be successful as an affiliate marketer you have to drive lots and lots of visitors, or traffic if you like, to your link. And this my dear friend is where the problem lies as the hardest thing to do is to get a mass of traffic to an affiliate link when many other people are trying to do the same with their affiliate site.

So thinking about this logically, who is the winner in all this? It sure is not you because although you may be making a few affiliate commissions you are having to work day and night to drive traffic to someone elses site. I think you may have guessed now that the one person who makes a lot of money from these relationships is the owner of the affiliate product.

The owner of the affiliate product may have more than a hundred people just like you driving traffic to his affiliate sites for him all day long, and although he may be paying you up to 70% commission on each sale of the product, he holds all the cards.

The affiliates are putting all the work in, all the owner of the affiliate product is doing is cashing in and collecting all the payments without lifting a finger. The only work he has to do is to create a product, and believe me this is not as difficult as you may think. Once the product is created his work is done. All he needs to do is sign up to one or more of the affiliate directory sites such as ClickBank or Commission Junction and these sites set up everything for you automatically! Nice work if you can get it.

Product creation is not difficult as I mentioned. You can either do it yourself, and there are many videos on YouTube that will show you how to create ebooks, audio files or online videos, or you can pay someone to do it for you. There are many online services that have contractors willing to do the work for you for a reasonable sum.

This is the real secret to your online success, create your own product and get everyone working for you.

How to Create the "Sweetest" ECover

One of my first jobs as a teenager was as a hostess at a local breakfast restaurant. Now this restaurant was unlike any other restaurant around at that time. One of the many things that set this restaurant apart from others was the incredible smoothie/coffee bar situated right in the middle of the restaurant.

Now if you are a coffee or smoothie fan, you know those drinks are not cheap. People paid upwards of $5 for a drink - and this was many years ago. But besides the fact that this was one of the only drink bars around, do you know why those drinks were so popular and sold like mad?

They were visually appealing. The added touches of fresh pineapple on a tropical smoothie or real whipped cream and freshly shaved chocolate on a mocha latte. These are the little details that made a huge difference.

Think about the impact of having a beautiful drink sitting at the first table when customers walked in. Presentation. It's all about the presentation.

How many times do you look around in a new restaurant to see what everyone else's dish looks like? It may taste horrible, but regardless we are visual beings - we see things first.

The same principle is true for anything you do online. Maybe even more so. An image is all you have to make a compelling first impression.

While graphics is one of the last things people think about when creating a product or even a free offer, it is certainly not least important. In fact, graphics are absolutely critical to a successful compelling free offer.

If you've followed my compelling message outline, then you, no doubt, have a compelling free offer, however, no one knows that but you and I.

A stunning cover is what conveys how awesome it is to your audience.

To get your graphic cover completed, you have a few options...

1) Make it yourself. There is a website called myecovermaker which you can use to make your own graphic. It is a very user friendly site and you can figure out what to do pretty quickly.

2) Outsource it. If you don't want to make your own, then there are several options for outsourcing - fiverr.com, the Warrior forum, even elance.com. Look at past work and ratings before choosing someone.

3) Insource it. I have just recently started to go with this option. Basically you have someone who does graphics make covers for you on a contract basis. You may have family or friends who do graphics and would love to have the experience of working on an ecover for you.

Regardless of what option you are using to get your cover completed, a unique, attractive, compelling cover makes the difference between someone wanting what you are offering and not.

Remember we are visual beings - we are drawn to images, particularly attractive ones.

It is worth every penny to outsource or insource this task if you have never done an ecover before. Practice with something else, but look to a professional when it comes to something like your compelling free offer.

Some tips for designing your ecover:

· Choose colors that match or compliment your blog. You will be putting an opt-in form on your blog, so complimentary colors are a big plus.

· Put your name on the cover. This is good for branding and it looks professional.

· Be careful with lots of words. If you have a long title and you want to add a subtitle that is long also, then you run the risk of scaring people off. I've used some long titles, but I've had better success with a title 5 words or less.

· If you can, get the cover in flat and 3D images. Use the flat cover as the title page in your compelling free offer. And the 3D cover for your blog opt-in and/or squeeze page.

Unfortunately, there is not a one size fits all description for a compelling ecover. Because every offer is unique and every person's likes and dislikes are unique, every cover will be different.

The best ecovers are the ones that reflect the author and the content accurately and create intrigue so as to compel the reader to download it.

Product Creation Made Simple

Product creation isn't difficult. I know that it seems like a daunting task, but as the saying goes, "It's easy when you know how." The challenge for many people seems to be what form to put it in, and I would agree that that may be the hardest part. But, even that is easier than it seems. Here's a simple way to create your own information products.

Imagine for a moment that you want to help a prospect solve a particular problem. Let's say that the person wants to know how change the oil on his or her car. What would be the most effective way for that person to learn how to do it? A PDF? An audio recording? How about a video clip?

I know which one I'd go for. But, my choice may be different from the one you choose. It really depends on the skills that you already have. If you're mechanically inclined, then simply reading about what to do may be enough. If you can easily imagine what it looks like from a description given by someone else, then an audio recording probably will be enough.

But, if you're like me, and don't know a dipstick from a dwell meter, then a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video may be a life saver.

So before you even get started, you have to decide who it's for. You won't be able to create a product that's for everyone because if you tried to do so, then it will be of no use to anyone.

The next thing you need to do is to determine what you want someone who buys your product to be able to do as a result. Ordinarily, the primary purpose of your product would be to solve a problem that the buyer has. That means that the reason for creating the product would be to help someone to overcome a challenge that he or she had found insurmountable.

The third thing to do is to design your product. This is another word that scares people. It simply means that you create a sort of framework onto which you can hang your ideas. Doing this in advance will make creating your product much easier, even though it may feel like an unnecessary struggle or additional step.

If you do these three things first, then the product will practically create itself.

Create Products: Make Money From Your Passions

Have you got a passion you'd like to pass on? Would you like to also make some money from sharing your enthusiasm and experience? Then the easiest way to do so is to create an information product that you can sell over the internet. Not only is this the easiest way but it is the cheapest way and there is a booming market for information products these days.

Now I'm not going to over-inflate how much money you can earn from your products. This will depend on the particular form that your passion takes and whether or not there are large enough numbers of people who want to learn what you know and are willing to pay for it. It will also depend on your passion and drive to get your products seen by the right people. However you already have one advantage as passion and enthusiasm is naturally attractive and infectious and so if you let the right people feel that passion when you promote your products then your chances of making a sale are increased.

So you are probably wondering how to get started and create your own product? Well the first step is to capture and organise the content you want to deliver in your product. Try not to squeeze everything you know into one product so come up with 4 - 6 topics related to your passion that you could turn into products. Then focus on one topic at a time and write down the key steps or ideas that your customer will need to master the topic and achieve the same results you do. Then write down some brief notes on each step to remind you of the main points to cover when you actually start creating your product.

Having done this preparation the next step is to decide what format you are going to use to deliver your content i.e. are you going to put it into an ebook, audio or video? Each type has its place and purpose. An eBook is good for generating interest in your main products by giving them a taster - literally giving it away. Videos may be essential if the information you need to convey can only be really understood properly if they can see what you are talking about. Audios are very versatile and are quick and easy to record. So you need to decide what will work best with your particular passion and then get writing or recording.

Why Should I Make An Audio Version Of My Digital Information Product?

Audio products are valued higher than written digital products. This may be due to the fact that it is a little more technical to create audios than the simple ebook or special report. But the good news is that they can also sell for more money than written content. You can sell an audio version of an ebook for about double the price. For example if your ebook sells for $27, then the audio book can sell for up to $67.

On top of that, once you make an audio version of your written digital information product, you now have two separate products that you can market. That means you just doubled you income potential by simply repurposing the same information into another format.

Yet another reason to create an audio book is that you can offer it as an upsell or maybe as an added bonus to your ebook. That way you have increased the value of your product. This allows you to raise the price point which earns you more income with each sale.

You will also reach more people with your information when you make an audio version of your product. For example, there are many people would rather listen to your ebook while driving to work, or while they're running on the treadmill. These potential customers would not buy your written ebook, but they would jump at the chance to get the audio version of it.

You can also create many different formats using audio to reach a wider range of customers. For example, you can create a recording and then make a podcast of it. You can then take the podcast and sell it on iTunes, or some of the many other channels available on the internet. This will get your content to millions of people that you would not have access to otherwise.

Once you have an ebook or special report created, making an audio book is really simple. You can get audio recording software on your computer for free that will make decent quality audio tracks that usually output the.MP3 format. Alternatively, you can outsource the recording process to make it sound really clean and professional. Try looking on fiverr.com or elance.com for recording professionals.

I really recommend trying to outsource the recording of your audio book. This will streamline the process, and it's really not very expensive to get done.

The increase in potential income is well worth the outsourcing expense.

Record An Interview - Cool Recording Tools

To record an interview with an expert in your industry can be one of the quickest ways to create a product to sell and make some quick income, build your list and increase your credibility.

Even if you don't want to conduct an interview, an easy way to build a product is to simply record yourself talking on your topic.

Lots of people get stuck at the very first obstacle - deciding how to record an interview with the right equipment. These days there are lots of very good quality recording devises that will record your voice. I want to give you a few of the tools and resources that I have used many times to create voice recordings and interview products.

FREE RECORDING TOOLS

Audacity is free software you can download and will allow you to record your own voice directly onto your computer just by plugging in a microphone. Most computers have a built in microphone, or you can get a headset that includes a microphone (I use Logitech).

You can also edit your recording using the same program to cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together. Changing the speed or pitch of a recording is handy too. You can import sound files, edit them, and combine them with other files or new recordings. This is great if you want to add some intro or outro music to your recording. You can then export your recordings in many different file formats including mp3 and wav.

Free Conference Calls

To record an interview using a free service, I can recommend freeconferencecalling dot com. Free conference calls are simple and easy to use, and only need your name and an e-mail address to receive an instant account.

Once you enter your name and e-mail address, you instantly get given dial-in numbers and an access code for immediate phone conferencing.

Your teleconferencing lines are available to you 24/7 and there is no need to schedule or make reservations.

While many of the other services need you to have internet access, free conference calls does not. You can use any telephone in any location. This service will record your calls and after a recording is made, you can access them to download to your computer.

Instant Teleseminar

I love, love, love using Instant Teleseminar! This is an easy to use system that allows you to speak to one person or a group of people to either record an interview or make a presentation.

You will need to book the date and time of your interview into the program. You then receive a telephone number to give the person you are interviewing and they call into that number at the given time.

The recordings are crystal clear and you can manage your set up to allow the recording and/or download to be immediately available to your listeners. This service will host your recordings and give you a link to place on your website or in your autoresponder so people can access the recording. There is a monthly fee of around $67 but you can get your first interview done by using their full service during a 21 day trial.

Once you get into the habit of doing interviews or presentations on a regular basis, I highly recommend this program.

Pamela for Skype

My latest toy is Pamela for Skype. This software allows you to call someone for free using Skype to Skype, and will automatically record your conversation. You can also set it to record the video, so if you want to be able to see the person as you interview them, this is a great option. Pamela keeps a copy of the recording in its system as well as placing a copy directly onto my computer.

By adding some credit into your Skype account, Pamela will record a Skype to land line call.

There are several different pricing levels depending on what features you want. I use the Professional version and this allows me to have unlimited recordings, for unlimited length of time. My professional version was a bargain for a once off purchase price of around AUD $32.

There are many more resources that will allow you to record an interview and create an instant product but what you don't need is overwhelm. Any of the resources above will work really well for you. I challenge you now to go away and take action!

Make a connection with someone to interview Decide what recording program you will use Record the call Offer it to your subscribers How to Make an eBook Into an AudioBook   Working With Top iPhone Developers for Best Solutions   How Gamification Can Turn Businesses Into Winners   Easy Ways to Find Content For Your Audio Products   

Options for Recording Audio Products

Your recording process will make a big difference to the final product. Although it is possible to "clean up" the recording later, you'll eventually be limited by the original quality. So aim to create a high-quality recording first.

You don't need the highest quality possible; you only need the highest quality required for your final product. For example, if you only want it so you can send it to somebody to transcribe, you can even record it on an old-fashioned low-quality cassette deck, because you'll never be publishing the recording itself. Similarly, if you only ever plan to publish it on the Internet, you can get away with a lower quality than if you're publishing it on CD, because your audience will prefer the fast download to the CD quality.

There are a number of options available, and we'll group them based on the number of people taking part.

1. Solo

If it's just yourself, you have the luxury of choosing an environment that suits you and a single microphone you can position right near you. Here are some options:

Directly to computer: Plug in a microphone to your computer and record directly into it, using easily-obtainable software (for example, Garage Band on a Mac, or Audacity on a PC). Smart phone: There are recording apps available for both iPhones and Android phones, and the quality is quite good, especially if you plug in an external microphone. iPod: You can buy a special microphone attachment for your iPod, which turns it into a recorder. Digital voice recorder: These are smaller and more portable than your computer, and some have better battery life and storage than your phone. There are a number of options available. When buying one, consider three things: The best recording quality; what microphone you can use with it; and how easy it is to transfer files to your computer.

2. Two people

As soon as you involve somebody else, you create some other challenges for yourself: You both have to find a suitable environment; you have to schedule time; you might each be using different equipment; and you have to prepare your material more diligently.

However, provided you take these into account (and to be honest, these aren't difficult to overcome), it's easy to create audio products that are interviews or conversation. Here are some options:

Phone: Some devices plug directly into your phone line, so you can record both sides of a phone conversation. This is extremely convenient, and the quality is reasonable (but not wonderful). Test this carefully before you use it, because sometimes the quality is very poor. Skype: If you are both comfortable using Skype, this will give you higher quality than a telephone line. Recording is not built in to Skype, but there is free and low-cost software to record Skype calls. Teleseminar or webinar: Most teleseminar and webinar services have a recording option (for some, it's an optional extra), and it's usually very easy to use (for example, just clicking a button when you begin, or sometimes the recording is even automatic). Studio: Finally, for high-quality professional recordings, you might consider hiring a studio for a few hours. To save money, prepare as much as possible in advance, so you don't waste time in the studio itself.

3. Group

When you expand the participants even further, the same challenges you faced with two people get even bigger. Again, these aren't insurmountable; they simply have to be managed. Here are some options:

Event A/V system: If you're speaking at an event with its own audio-visual crew, ask them whether they can record it for you. Even if they aren't recording it themselves, they should be able to plug in your device (and by extension, your microphone) directly into their system. This gives you a high-quality recording of your presentation. However, it doesn't include the audience interaction or responses, so if that's important to you, make sure you record that separately. Teleseminars and webinars: As I mentioned earlier, if you're conducting teleseminars or webinars, use the option to record them. Digital voice recorder: The low-quality devices don't work well with groups. However, the better devices can record your audience participation quite well. Just put it on a table in front of you and it captures both you the presenter and questions from the audience.

3 Reasons To Create A Special Report For Your Digital Information Product

Special reports are very similar to an ebook with the exception that is much shorter in length. They always answer a specific question your reader wants answered. Of course, you want to write your special report on a topic in your niche so that it is relevant to your offer.

3 Reasons Special Reports Make Great Digital Information Products:

1. They are fast and easy to create. They address a specific topic within your niche. For that reason they are typically much shorter in length than an ebook for example. This is great when you're the one doing all the writing. You can be specific in your writing and only have to worry about producing a product that is about 10 - 20 pages in length. Another advantage to keeping these reports shorter is that your readers are more likely to read the entire report.

2. Special reports make great lead magnets. A lead magnet is simply a digital information product that you give your visitor in exchange for their email address and the permission to send them emails. This is huge since it gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with that person and market many products to them over time. As I mentioned earlier it is advantageous to use a special report for a lead magnet, because the reader doesn't know you very well yet. With a shorter report they are more likely to read the entire piece of content. At the end of your report you always want to include a call to action with a link to one of your paid digital information products. This link will take the reader to your sales page where you can immediately turn your new subscriber into a customer. Also, be sure to scatter links to affiliate products throughout the report. Do this sparingly since you don't want to appear like a spammer.

3. They are great low-barrier-of-entry products. They make great front-end sales offers. $7 is a great price point for special reports. You can redirect new subscribers to your sales page where you can sell your special report. It's really important that your report is directly related to your lead magnet product. This will skyrocket your sales conversions. Another way to market these reports is to your list. You can write an email to your list and again send them right to your sales page for your product. If you want to make more profits from these digital products try bundling like 10 of them together and then selling the bundle of reports for $97 for instance.

Three Reasons You Should Create Info Products Quickly

It seems that the majority of people who start an internet marketing info business spend too much time trying to get their first product created. I've heard stories of individuals taking two years or more. Maybe they don't have the confidence or perhaps they just procrastinate. Fact is, creating info products very fast is one of the keys to running a successful online business. In this article, I'll provide a few solid reasons to prove my point.

Reason 1: You Need to Find Out if Your Product is Going to Sell

So many marketers rely too heavily on market research. Sure it's important. However, even if a product idea appears to be a hot seller on paper, there's no guarantee that it will be. The only way to know for sure is to create it and start promoting. Now I'm not suggesting you create shabby, inferior info products. Rather, I'm recommending that you create something that's high quality, yet simple and easy to produce. If the product sells like hotcakes, then revamp it and add more bells and whistles.

Reason 2: You Need Feedback to Tweak Your Product

Getting your simple product on the market fast also allows you to receive feedback from your customers - feedback that will help you make the product even better and perhaps even a higher ticket item. Not many online info marketers use this approach, but we all know it works. Think of all the large corporations and popular business that do this. This approach will also give you more perceived value in the eyes of your customers. This method is only possible if you can create info products quickly. It just won't be practical if you invest too much time in the initial product.

Reason 3: You Need Time to Determine If Improving Your Product Will Be Profitable

In some cases, you may discover that a simple info product that you created quickly does really well on the market and it needs little enhancing, if any. Some info products that give black and white, quick solutions don't need anything else. They are fine just the way they are. I do believe, however, this will be the exception instead of the norm. Almost every product can be improved and even enhanced.

Hopefully, this information has been helpful to you. Once you get that first product under your belt and begin to generate revenue, you'll have ideas to improve this process and will be motivated to create more products.

How to Create a Three-Dimensional Product

A 3-dimensional product is the most complicated than those with only one or two dimensions.

One-dimensional products have one theme, examine one problem, and provide one solution. Two-dimensional products deal with more challenging problems. They have one theme, but many offshoots from it. A three-dimensional product, on the other hand, deals with multiple themes, each of which interacts with the others.

There are no hard and fast rules about what constitutes one over the other. These are terms that I use to help me distinguish between them, and to anticipate the needs to those who will use the products.

In this article, I want to explain how to create the most complicated one of them all, the three-dimensional product..

Products with three dimensions are the most complicated to create, give the greatest value to customers, and cost more than those with just two or even one dimension. But, they deal with the kinds of problems that people who live in a complicated society face all the time.

They contain multiple themes, any of which could be a hub in their own right, and interact with one another. And that means that a lot of thought must go into them behind the scenes.

The easiest way to create one is to start with a product that has only one dimension. Let's say that you want to teach someone how to pound a nail into a piece of wood. You tell them to obtain a hammer, nail, and a board. Then you explain to pound one into the other.

In a two-dimensional problem, you might tackle something a bit more complicated, for example planting flowers. In this case, the garden itself would be the common theme, but depending on the effect you wanted to create the location of them would probably change. And there would be many different possible combinations. In some instances, you might put like colors together, or those of similar height. In others you might mix them. But, you'd have some sort of design in mind.

A product with three-dimensions might consist of plans to build a house and landscape the grounds as well. In addition, there would be ample explanations on how to do it, and personal coaching to help you actually do it.

You wouldn't be a given a boring manual to read, thanked for your money, and then left to get on with it. No; the product creator would want you to succeed.
