All right, let's get right into this, okay? So, if you are in a competitive market, this video's gonna help you, okay? If you wanna get more sales, this video's gonna help you. If you wanna make more money, this video's gonna help you. Now, let's get into it so I can show you the five ways I can help you. Now, if I had known this in the beginning, I would have done this, but I didn't know it, so I didn't do it. Create an information product. I mean, that's like the easiest thing you can do in the beginning is to create an information product. I guess the next easiest way would be to sell somebody else's information product, but when you do that, you don't build your list because you're building a list for them. So, my suggestion is build an information product. First off, let me explain something to you. It costs you almost nothing to produce one unless you pay somebody to do it for you, okay? And it costs you nothing to deliver it to somebody because it's a digital product. And as far as getting payments, companies like these credit cards processors and PayPal and all that, they make it super easy to collect money and you could be making money almost instantly. And I want you to think about this a little bit more. Unlike any other product you could sell, a digital product you have total control over, okay? You have control of when they're gonna get it because you don't have to mail it, okay? You could just email it to them. You're done. You have total control over how much inventory you have because you never run out of inventory. It's a digital product. It's pretty simple there. So, it's just an ideal product, especially for the beginner. But you ask yourself, J.R., I can't think of any cool ideas. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do an information product on. Keep watching this video and you will. Okay, step number one is make a really comprehensive list of everything that really interests you or that you have some talent in. Hopefully it would be both of those, but not always. Now, you really shouldn't go any further until you have this list in hand because this is going to be your roadmap to success. And you're gonna initially pick one of them. You can't pick five because you can't do five things at once. But once you've picked one, you can go back to this list and pick another one and another one and another one. And the cool thing about information products is as you do more and more of these particular products, you can make more and more money. And there's no stopping you from doing five or 10 or 20 or 100 of these products and have a lot of money come in. Now, what you wanna do after you've made a list of all your products. Number two is check to see which passions align with the commercial market. Now, what does that mean in simplistic terms? That means who out there is selling a course similar to yours? Who out there is selling a product similar to yours and being successful? Because if they're selling something similar to you and they're being successful at it, my first suggestion to you is buy their product. I mean, buy it because they obviously have figured something out. Once you buy their product, you're gonna see their emails, you're gonna see the product and you can make a product that's even better than theirs, okay? Maybe it has more modules to it. Maybe it has more slides. Maybe it goes more in depth. Maybe it looks more attractive when the people log in. But having a digital product that is similar to something in the market that's already been successful is really a great idea. Okay, now that you have made a list of all these products or ideas and you have checked in the market to see if it's a viable product to make a profit on, you're ready to move on to the next step, okay? And that's the pretty cool thing. Now we actually will get into the product itself. Step three is to immerse yourself in the market and learn every single thing you can about that. To give you an example, my wife is into dog training. So what she does is she watches all kinds of courses on dog training. She reads all kinds of books on dog training and nutrition and gets all the information she possibly can. And in doing so, you're gonna find new techniques. You're gonna learn things. You're gonna improve your own education on that particular product. It is super important that you're just totally knowledgeable about it. Now, do you have to be the smartest person in the world on that subject? No, I've done courses on Shopify. I've done courses on Facebook ads. I've done courses on drop shipping. And am I the top person in every single one of those areas? No, but I know the basics of it. And I've done it and I've gotten results in all those areas. So since I've done that, that qualifies me, right, to do a course. So don't worry about being qualified. Don't worry about saying, well, J.R., I've never been to school for that. And nobody's ever given me a certificate or a piece of paper bestowing upon me that I am knowledgeable, okay? I don't have a master's degree or doctorate degree and any of those things. You don't have to. That's not necessary nowadays. All you have to do is be able to bring knowledge to people that they find useful and they get results out of it. If you can do that, if you can bring knowledge to people that they find useful and they get results out of, then you're qualified. That's all it takes. And if you're not as qualified as you think, you can get more qualified, right? You can watch videos on YouTube. You can watch tutorials. You can read blogs. You can increase your knowledge base. It's no longer a world where you have to go in and take courses. And at the end of the year, you can go, hey, you're at this point now. You're at this point next year. And then at some point, we're gonna be a bachelor's degree. Once we decide that you learned all these different subjects, it's not like that anymore. You can really focus in on one thing and get really good at it. I watch a lot of cooking channels. And a lot of those cooking channels, I was the majority of those cooking channels, none of those people have ever been to chef school, okay? They just like what they're doing. They enjoy sharing it. They study up on stuff. They learn how to do different recipes and they make videos. They put it on YouTube and they make millions of dollars. It's really that simple. Same thing with an informational product that you wanna do. All you have to do is get knowledgeable on that and get educated on that and be able to provide that information that people can get results from. Number four, alternate between reading about your niche and going over the collection of ideas you have. Now, here's what happens. As we become more educated about something, as we learn more about a particular subject, we tend to come up with more ideas. So that initial list, maybe you had a collection of eight or 10 things that you thought would be a good idea. Once you start studying that niche, whether it's how to cook barbecue or whether it's how to sew dresses or whatever it is you picked, okay? Once you start reading in that area, you're gonna see there's other areas in there. There's other, you know, sub niches in there that you could do a digital product on. It's gonna really expand your mind, basically. So what you wanna do is get this knowledge, right? You're going online. You're doing all this research. You're learning all these things. And then go back to your list and say, could I add something else to this list? Is there something that I don't have on my list? I should have on my list. Did I uncover a new thing? Did I uncover smoking barbecue ribs? Did I uncover sous vide barbecue ribs? You know, what did I uncover that I could actually add to my collection here? And what you're gonna find is that collection is gonna expand as your knowledge in that particular niche expands. And you wanna keep repeating this process over and over and over again into where that collection does expand, okay? So don't start with your original collection. Go out and do your research, come back to your collection and expand that list. Super important that you do that. And what's gonna happen? You're gonna see this is gonna happen. As you're doing this research and you're going back to your collection over and over again, you're gonna have these aha moments. And you're gonna go, wow, this is the thing I need to do my digital course on. This is the one that really excites me. This is the one that I just think is amazing. Now, some of you out there may come up with three or four different things. You may come up with five different things. But you know, you gotta pick the one that you think is gonna be best for you. Now, the last step, step number five, is just create it. It's not that hard to create a digital product. You can do a number of different things. You could use slides. You can use PowerPoint. Now, PowerPoint is a paid program. So you could use Google Slides. Google is free. So you could use Google Slides. You could voice over the Google Slides. You could actually do videos. You could do tutorial videos. So if you're cooking, you could be cooking in the kitchen. You could give the recipes. You could do whatever you want there. But the point is you gotta go ahead and create it now. Now, once you have created your course, you gotta put it somewhere. My recommendation over and above all places is Cartra. Cartra is by far one of the best softwares you can use for internet marketing. It does email lists. It does courses, memberships, sales sequences. It just does everything. I got rid of, I think, eight different pieces of software when I got Cartra. It's an amazing piece of software. What I'll do is in the description below, I'll put a link to Cartra. So you can click on it and watch a video about all that it does. And I can just about guarantee you, if you watch the whole video on Cartra, you're gonna want it. And the cool thing is if you use my link, you can actually get a trial for only $1. That's my affiliate link. Feel free to use that. Now, I don't want you to worry about the creation of this. This is where it trips up a lot of people. They go, well, I'm not that good at doing videos. I'm not that good at writing. I'm not that good at any of these things. You don't have to be nowadays. You really just have to have the idea down as far as what you wanna do. Get an outline of it. You can film it on your own if you want. If you don't wanna be on camera, that's okay. You could film, you know, screen capture something along those lines. If you don't wanna write it, I mean, you could go to someplace like Upwork or you could go to Fiverr. You could give an outline and say, you know, I want, you know, 10 videos and they're gonna each need to be, you know, 10 minutes long and I need somebody to write that for me and this is the base information I want you to go from. And somebody will actually do that for you. So, if you don't wanna do it on your own and this is for somebody who has a little bit of money to invest, you can hire somebody else to. And it's really not that expensive. You would be very surprised that, you know, for a couple hundred bucks, you could probably have most informational products done for you if you wanna do that. I don't really recommend that the first time around. I think it's good to make mistakes. I think it's good to learn from your mistakes and to get better at it. On down the road, when you're really good at it, that's the time to hire it out. Most people don't look at it that way. They look at it, well, I don't know much in the beginning and that's the best time to hire it out. The problem with that way of thinking is that when you hire it out, when you don't know anything, you don't know if they're doing the right things. You don't know if they're charging you to write money. You don't know how long things should take. If you've done some of your own informational products first, you know all these things. So when you go to hire somebody, you're more educated. You know what to tell them you want. You know what to expect. You know what to expect to be charged. So it's really kinda important in the beginning that you do it on your own. Besides that, you can save your money. So I hope that gives you some insight onto what you could do to be successful online as a beginner. You know, it may not have been what you thought. You know, maybe you thought, well, I've gotta find the next new product to sell online as a beginner and that's just not the case. Digital products are the best thing in the world because they're so unique. You know, if I'm selling, let's say this Apple Watch, okay? There's only one Apple Watch out there and I would have to compare with everybody else and I would have to compete with everybody else. But if I do a course on, let's say, Facebook ads, which I do have, and it's down in the description if you wanna look at it, that course is unique to me. I did that course. Nobody else has a course like that. Nobody else has, you know, the modules I do. Nobody else has the voice. Nobody else has the way it's written. It's all different. So people can't go out and shop you. If you decide you wanna charge $497 for your digital product, that's the value. There's nothing to compare it to. It's not like there's two types of Ford F-150 trucks and they're on two different lots but they have the same equipment. You would expect the price to be the same. Yours can be entirely different. You can charge a lot more or a lot less, whatever you wanna do. I hope this video was useful to you. If so, give me a thumbs up. I would really appreciate it. Put comments below.
