Yesterday, I came across Terry Dean’s excellent Post where he talks about 20 Ways To Add Value to Your Products and Services.

Here’s my 10 More Ideas to add to the list:

1. Searchable databases: Compilation of 40 or 50 of the best articles related to the topic of your product or service. Of course these cannot be ezine articles freely available online.

2. Idea Report: It doesn’t matter what kind of product or service you offer, this is a type of offer that you CAN make – it’s universal. Conduct a brainstorming session and log in every idea you can think of concerning a topic related to your product.

3. Calendar / Planner: Do you have a 30 day plan to accomplish a task? Weekly Plan? For example - A Weekly Blog Calender about what type of Content your customer can write for their niche blog.

4. Private Posts: Sometime back I bought an excellent 45-page ebook by Allen Says from the Warriors containing his “private posts” that weren’t shared publicly at his blog.

5. Mindmaps and Flowcharts: To explain a Process discussed in the main offer

6.Cheat sheets: This is basically a concise form of information that the customers could quickly scan through to get an idea about how to do a task. I used this strategy quite successfully adding a valuable surprise bonus for my customers of Product Idea Blueprint.

7. Personal Rolodex: For example- Who is your ghostwriter? What tool do you use for Research?

8. Special Reports of 5-20 pages in length that expands on concepts that you shared in the main offer.

9. Swipe Files: We are all familiar with this as one of the best tool for copywriters. But it need not be limited to that only. Swipe files can be of any types, for example “email subject lines”, “forum subject lines” ,”forum signatures” etc.

10. A newsletter subscription (hard copy or digital) available for the customers only.

Check out the other 20 Ideas from Terry’s Post.
