$7 Domain name

Planning to buy your new domain?

If you search the keyword "domain name registration" at Google, you would most like see an add for a .com domain registration for just $7 (or even less) but when you would visit the site you won't find any .com domain worth with just $7.

Are they scamming you? Well, first, it's part of their marketing strategy - to entice potential domain name buyers to visit their site.

On the other hand, you can indeed buy your domain with the with just the advertised amount (they're just not telling you how).

Well, it would only take a little effort on your part to save that $3 (or at least that is what you can save when you will buy with the regular price of $10).

All you need to do is do a quick search at Google with "domain-registrar-site.com coupon" (just replace the "domain-registrar-site.com" with the URL of your chosen domain name registrar).

Visit the sites returned from your search and look for coupon codes. Be sure to enter the coupon code before you click on the "Check Out" button.

And basically that's all you need to save those precious $3.

Enjoy your savings.

Viral Ebook

Creating a viral ebook is one of the proven ways to generate traffic for your website as well as generate sales.

Just create your ebook and distribute it for free. Make it available to your readers through your website or through your email campaign.

Be sure to include a link back to your site or sales page in your free ebook.

The trick here is give your readers the "Give Away Rights." That way, they can freely distribute your ebook without any effort on your part.

However, in order for this strategy to be effective, you must provide valuable information that your readers can really use.

To make your free ebook more viral, you must allow your readers to brand it, this strategy is used specially in affiliate marketing, where the "brand" is the affiliate link of your reader. Your reader will distribute it to his contacts with gusto with the hope that he gains some commission every time a purchase is made through his link.

You can see the strategy above here.

Packaging your Infoproducts

Infoproducts (information products) are products that you have produced in line with the information that you are selling.

Depending on your target market and marketing strategy, you can package your information in several formats.

You can have a physical product or an electronic/digital product.

By physical products, you package your product in tangible, hold-it-in-your-hands products such as books, manuals, compact disks, cassette tapes, DVD, VCD, data disks, etc.

On the other hand, digital products are composed of bytes, and could reside on your hard drives or removable flash drives. Digital products can be easily and instantly downloaded, and does not need to be shipped.

Here are some of the common digital products used by infopreneurs:
  • ebooks
  • audiobooks
  • MP3 files
  • videos

When planning your information marketing business, you must consider how you will package your products. Going the digital route is much more profitable since you won't incur hefty overhead expenses like:
  • printing cost
  • CD/DVD writing cost
  • warehouse storage fees
  • no shipping and handling cost
  • no missing products
  • no broken or damage products
All you need to do is upload your finished product and let your customers download it automatically once payment is confirmed.

On the other hand, selling your information product in physical format gives you more credibility and establishes you as a professional in your field.

I suggest that you create your digital products first then you can convert it into a physical product readily.

You can opt to the "print on demand" scheme where you only need to print your book when somebody orders it. That way you won't incur storage fees and you only pay for printing cost when needed. You can also apply the same strategy with your MP3, Audio, Video files. You jst create the Audio CD, Video CD or DVD when someone orders it.

I hope that you find this article informative.

What is an Infopreneur?

Infopreneur is a coined term from the words information and entrepreneur.

In other words, an infopreneur is a person who sells or market information.

Information marketing is one of the lucrative businesses that you can tap into.

As a start, you can sell any information that you have already acquired like:
- education
- job experience
- hobbies
- passion

However, you are not restricted with your own information, you can always tap somebody else's information. If you know somebody who have the skills, talents, expertise that can help solve a problem, you can market it and you both make a profit.

In short, you just need to find a problem, find a solution to a problem, and if you have the capabilities of solving the problem then you already have an edge. But as I've said earlier, you can always look for other people who knows the solution to a problem. I tell you, there are a lot of people who don't know how to market their knowledge.

Go start finding problems and start looking for its solution.
