Juliana has a follow up question to last week's post on Selling Public Domain and PLR Products on Ebay. She wants to know if it's a great idea to use that same idea for publishing information products on Amazon as Kindle books. Sounds like a great idea right? Well it is until you read Amazon latest terms on publishing Kindle singles.

Unfortuantely for right now, Amazon has made it pretty clear that don't want "how to" books or public domain books. Probably for good reason, as they've received a  lot of junk being published as Kindle ebooks.

If you listen to the show, you'll hear my solution around this. Hint-  there is another way to publish "how to" info on Amazon without using Kindle Publishing.

This week's episode features a a fantastic interview we did some time ago with public domain expert Tony Ladig. In this audio interview, Tony shares how he's built a very successful online business turning public domain works into passive income.

So what do I mean by "public domain"? Well simply stated, it refers to any work where the copyright has expired. Most works created prior to 1923 automatically fall into public domain.  Public domain works offers a tremendous opportunity for online marketers who are looking to create content or information products. Here's an example. One of my favorite little books that sits on my office bookshelf is one that was written back in 1902 by James Allen  called "As a Man Thinketh".

While this book is well over a century old, it continues to be published and sold in ebook and physical book format; and because it was published in 1902, anyone is free to publish and sell this book or use it as free giveaway for email subscribers.

In this week's episode, you'll get to hear how Tony uses public domain works for his product development.

Just recently they completed most of those changes and offer a much more user friendly site that allows new members to easily find and hire quality writers for the website and product content. 

Scott will be sharing his story about he started NAA from a simple problem that he kept running into - finding qualified writers that aren't tied up with other projects. Scott knew the frustration of relying on one writer, so he developed a service that provided multiple writers for members that needed content done quickly. 

Russell and I both use the NAA service for our niche websites and can certainly attest to the high level of service and support that Scott offers.

You can find out more about Scott's membership service by visiting www.NeedanArticle.com

This week we tackle some concerns our listeners have about getting their websites started.

Hosting and domain registration is VERY important and your choices in the beginning can have an impact for a long time to come. Make the right choice up front so you don't have problems down the road.

And speaking of right choices in the startup phase, how should you decide on a domain name? Once it's done, it's done! So get it right! Dot comDot net? Dot org? Other variations? We tackle 'em all.

What software should you use to build your site? Well, it depends, but there are some great free tools that are super powerful. That's what we use - as well as thousands of other site owners large and small!

Youtube marketing is hot! So how do you maximize your impact? Here is one way that will make a big diffrence. And one thing that won't work so no need to try.

Plus an update on the webinar! BIB Niche Website Training

On today’s show, you’ll hear Kristen explain how to avoid procrastination and get your book written quickly. She also explains  the 3 different ways to get published and then finally some simple ways to market your book once it’s finally complete.

You can get free access to Kristen’s complimentary 1 hour workshop at www.artofpublishing.com.

In particular, one of the sections that really caught my attention was in chapter 3 where they talk about the problem of indecision. In an age where we are constantly bombarded every type of media under the sun, let's face it - it's hard for us to make firm decisions. When given a gazillion options, people naturally take the path of least resistance, and do nothing.

Consider this when it comes to starting an online business. You get ready to commit yourself to a goal of creating passive income and then what happens? Well, if you're like me early on when I first began,  you subscribe  to every e-newsletter on the planet with hopes of getting some cool new ideas right? But what happens?

You end up getting overloaded with so many ideas that your brain starts to short circuit. You begin to realize you can't do it all. You're just a finite human being with a limited amount of time, so you have to pick what works for you and unplug from all of the other messages out there telling you to "do it this way" or "do it that way".

If you're one of those people that's overwhelmed with all of the messages about how to start an online business, then I hope you'll consider unsubscribing from about 99% of them.

Decide what you want to do, and pick one strategy. If you've been a listener to our show for a long time, you know Russell and I don't sell hype. We don't promote anything that promises get rich quick.

Instead, we use a simple formula for generating passive income online and we'll be sharing these lessons for free on our upcoming Niche Website Training Webinar Tuesday September 20th at 8:00pm EST.

You can register here - www.bibpodcast.com/passiveincome

Jeff, one of our listeners if having trouble monetizing his niche website on electric guitars. So far he has plenty of good page content but he's not generating much revenue from it.

Jeff's situation is certainly not unique. Often times people spend so much time and effort building their content, they neglect the important part of creating multiple streams of revenue from it. In Jeff's case, he's focused primarily on Google adsense for his revenue and not looking in other directions (that provide larger chunks of profit) like creating his own line of information products (videos, ebooks, etc).

In this week's show Russell and I will share some tips for boosting his income through product creation, and other affiliates like Amazon and Clickbank.

If you're like Jeff, who's running into difficulty monetizing your website or need help getting started creating an income generating niche website, be sure to join our free webinar, Building a Profitable Niche Website from A-Z on Tuesday September 20th at 8:00 pm EST.

You can sign up by going to www.bibpodcast.com/passiveincome.

He's been told by his current host provider that he's using way too much of their system resources and wants to find a economical alternative.

Is Instant Article Wizard a good tool to use for article marketing?

What are the right Camtasia studio settings for creating videos for DVD and YouTube at the same time?

David was the guest speaker this week at our August Internet Marketing Meetup Thursday night.

David's topic this month was The 4 Step Method for Building a Successful Online Business. For those that don't know David, he lives and breathes exactly what he teaches. David has created successful niche websites in both the travel and the greeting card niche. David gets 54,000 visits to his coolestplacestovisit.com website and generates a very nice monthly income from Google adsense from it.

You can get a copy of David's 4 Step outline at www.bibpodcast.com/141. 

In many ways it's similar to know brands like Groupon and Living Social but John will be sharing some of the unique advantages that TCA offers. 

Think about it;  What do people get more excited about - needs or wants? Sure, they'll spend money on things they need, as we all do but notice they'll also look for them at a discount. You take your car in for an oil change and find out that your two front tires need to be replaced - A need.It's not something you want to spend a fortune so you shop around for the best deal around town. But when it comes to things people really want, they'll usually pay a premium for quality.  

An avid golfer never looks for the cheapest set of golf clubs he can find. A backpacking enthusiast will not even think about taking a chance at the lesser expensive hiking boots if he's unsure of the quality.

When targeting a niche for your next information product or affiliate site, don't just look at keyword competition alone. Think about your topic. Are people passionate about it? Is it something they are willing to spend a lot of  money on? What is the income level of those who are purchasing?

Don't just sell a need; sell a passion.

One of the most powerful tools for internet marketers and product developers is the mind map. A mind map is just a simple way for organizing your ideas in a visual format.

I've always found outlines to be boring. I'm visual, so I like to see graphic diagrams laid out in front of me. Some can get very detailed, while others are simple. I've scratched quite a few mind maps for past projects on scrap pieces of paper and greasy napkins.

Today, Russell and I will be talking about how we use mind maps for project planning as well as the software tools we use for mapping out projects online.

In addition, I've included a video excerpt on mind mapping your next information project from our DVD, Creating and Selling How-To Information on Amazon.

In addition this week, we'll be answering questions related to Wordpress, Kunaki Fulfillment, SD cards for HD video and more!

As a self published author, Jason shares his own experience of learning what works and what does't when it comes to self publishing. Jason made plenty of costly mistakes in the beginning; like spending close to $2,000 to mail out 150 copies of his novel to bookstores across the country without getting a single response.

Over time, Jason discovered the best marketing strategies are actually free. Setting up a blog or using other social media sites and online forums don't cost a dime. In this interview, you'll hear how Jason has implemented those tools and strategies to sell a ton of ebooks.

After working for a while time as a self employed contractor, Melody realized it was time to start her own business. In this interview, you'll learn about how Melody created WeScribeIt.com, how she's grown that business by offering great service and quality transcribers.

I told him instead of only getting paid for his time, he should create a video training product that teaches welding principles and practices. I checked on Amazon for him and found a number of other welding DVD’s listed. This is a good thing. It indicates there’s a market for this type of product.

You don’t need to have high end movie production style equipment to do this. Think Blair Witch Project.

To see the step by step process I lay out for helping him create his first DVD in one week visit the episode 135 podcast post at www.bibpodcast.com/DVD. 

Just to give you an idea of where we were when we first  started out podcasting, Russell & I play a a short clip of the very first episode we did on Blog Talk Radio back on January 19, 2009- back when we had no listeners and our mics were cell phone. Here's a hint - We sound awful! If had come across the show back then, I would have cut it off after the first 2 minutes.

Fast forward two and a half years, and we now have 65,000 listens and about 5-6,000 downloads a month! If you'd  like to learn how to get started creating your own podcast show and build a huge following that lets you generate passive income through affiliate marketing and selling your own products at the same time, then I encourage you to register for the 4 week course.

We also answer some questions this week on the air. We discuss one question on whether or not to use Kunaki's bar code option when uploading your DVD cover graphics. We  often encourage our listeners to do use this company because it's so inexpensive to print and package DVDs and CDs.

We also tackle some affiliate questions like alternatives to Amazon as they begin to pull out of many states due to new sales tax laws.

We'll also be discussing a book I talked about during the mid-week segment called How I Sold a Million eBooks in 5 Months by John Locke. As I've mentioned before, this is one of the most practical marketing books I've read in a long time.

If you have any desire to sell your own information products online, you really need to grab this book. You can order the kindle version here for $4.99.

One idea that they kept coming back to was fact that they both loved to drive around and look at the different porch designs and decorations that people had. As Dave mentioned, they would often see one that really caught their eye so much, that they would turn the car around and drive back by just to get a second look. After doing a little research online, they decided to create a site around that very topic- front porch ideas.

Both started out working hard at it as a team, writing content for the site. Mary said she would often stay up until 1 or 2 am working on it, while still working a corporate job. But they were both passionate about this niche and loved doing so, you can hardly call it work right?

Two years later, today Dave and Mary both now earn a full time income from their site through advertisers and affiliate sales. Both are living the life they want in the middle of what many have termed the "worst economy since the Great Depression". They travel whenever they want to visit family and friends and make every vacation a business trip since they are always looking for unique front porch designs to get pictures of.  In addition to creating their own content for their site, they also have a built in community of visitors that often submit photos of their own porch designs. What a great way to leverage your time!

I think you'll find this interview very inspiring if you have plans to start your online business soon.

If you want to create more video for distribution but don't want to spend time talking in front of a camcorder, then I recommend that you grab Screencast Secrets today.

You'll hear them as they share how they started out putting up their website and writing that first ebook. Surprisingly, they didn't spend a lot of time doing keyword research. Instead they went with something they thought they could help others with. This is a lesson for anyone who spends way too much time analyzing keywords, before they begin writing a single paragraph.

Yeah research is important, but if you have something that you're passionate about and want to share with others, then go for it. Do something you love and the money will eventually come. Always a great lesson.

This week I wanted to record a show using my Roland R-09HR recorder just to give you an example of the sound quality this little device has. If you are just getting started with podcasting, then I would highly recommend that this be one of the first pieces of sound equipment that you order.

The recorder has a built in condenser mic that gives better sound than many other stand alone mics out there; plus you can take it anywhere you go!

Starting an online business that generates monthly residual income is a great way for anyone to fund that retirement income, if they’re willing to put in the upfront work. This week, you’ll hear an interview with Keith Farren, one of our former 16 Week Challenge members who’s already created a nice monthly residual income in just a little over a year. Keith has 3 mini-websites that continue to generate monthly revenue through Google Adsense, without him him having to do any additional work to them. He also has one large niche website that he continues to work on by adding more and more content.

You’ll hear the interview with Keith as he shares his own experience starting with no prior knowledge of online marketing just a little over a year ago.

In this interview, you’ll learn about some of the characteristics that separate these women from the rest.
