ProBlogger - Which Product Should You Create?

Hi Reader,

How's your blogging week been?

A quick heads up to let you know that Joseph Michael's webinar on How to use Scrivener to turn yourself into an Organized Writing Machine is coming up later today. (more details below)

Many times I come across bloggers who are a little stuck in the mindset that the only way to generate an income from blogging is to sell advertising. While it’s certainly possible to build profitable blogs through a variety of types of advertising and affiliate promotions, it’s not the only way. 

Creating and selling products took my blogs to a whole new level, because there are a few other benefits of creating a product for your blog other than the obvious income stream that they provide:

• by using your blog to sell your own product you’re keeping your readers on your own site and within your own community
• when you create a quality product that your reader loves – you’re going to make a much bigger impact upon your reader
• when you’ve created a product of some kind that it adds to the authority that people seem to perceive you as having

So in this week's blog post I want to guide you through how to decide which product you should create.

You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.
