Product Funnel

Leveraging your business online means branding yourself as an expert in your industry. One of the quickest ways to be seen as an industry leader is by creating intellectual products.

Today it’s easier than ever to create digital products that can bring more visibility to your business and elevate your perceived level of expertise. Those two, put together, in turn create passive income for your business.

Think about some of the content you may have on your computer. Have you written articles or short reports for your business? There are several ways you can take the content you’ve already created and turn it into several types of product you can sell as downloads from your website.

If you’re ready to turn your website from a free-loader to a fee-loader, then this seminar is for you. This is a way to create a passive form of income for your business. Products also raise the perceived level of expertise in your niche.

Excuses Don't Count...Results Rule!

 Interview with Anne Bachrach [61:33m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (7)

In this episode of Syndicating Your Content I interviewed Anne Bachrach, author of Excuses Don’t Count…Results Rule!.

We know what we need to do to become successful, we just don’t do those things consistently and regularly. While our intentions are good, our good intentions don’t always control our actions.

Anne, also known as the Accountability Coach,  shares tips from her book, Excuses Don’t Count…Results Rule!, about why we don’t do what we need to do, why we make excuses. She also shares some about how she got the book “out of her head” and on paper. She has a unique way of tackling the content. After you listen, let me know what you think by commenting.

Various surveys have shown that 80% of people want to write a book, yet most people never get beyond dreaming about being a published author.

In this interview Susan Daffron shares tips on the following:

• How Susan got beyond her big “stuckness” on two book projects that had been languishing in old discarded Word files for literally years.
• How to find and repurpose writing you may already have in other forms.
• How to determine if you can actually sell your book once it’s finished.
• Which areas of the publishing process you can outsource, depending on your skills (and one you definitely should).
• How to publish your book “on the cheap” and avoid the stigma of subsidy/vanity presses.
• Numbers and acronyms you need to know about once you enter the wild and wooly world of self-publishing.

If you’ve got a book project you wish you could finish, join Susan Daffron and take your first step toward making that dream a reality.
