Yearlings Interview with Earl Netwal

Yep, it’s Earl Netwal interviewing Earl Netwal on my progress to date in internet marketing. My scheduled guest was unavailable today so I interviewed myself. Thought it might be a good idea to do what we call an Ice Breaker in my Toastmasters Club.

Ideally, I would have spent some time pre-planning the presentation, but due to the last minute idea of doing the broadcast myself, I did not adequately plan my content. Nonetheless, I did pretty well and think you may find it interesting.

I discuss some of my successes and failures in internet marketing.

In the presentation, I suggest that you contact me by email to get a couple of freebies. Since I sell these, I don’t want to put a free link here, but if you listen and decide you want one of the freebies you can just leave a comment here and I will get the links you want to you.

Interview with Lonnie Amirault

Well I ran into technical difficulties yet again with Blog Talk Radio this week, so I recorded my scheduled interview with Lonnie Amirault off the air. It turns out that it was perhaps the best interview to date, although a number of my others were pretty good as well. This one runs about 45 minutes long since we didn’t have to deal with the 30 minute time limit I set up for Blog Talk radio.

I highly recommend you listen to this interview. It has some real meat in it, whether you are brand new to internet marketing, have been at it for a while, or are fairly advanced.

Information Product Creation: Ghost Writers

Getting a ghost writer to create your information product for you is a great idea if you do not have the time or skills to do a great job yourself. In the video below I provide some practical tips on the process.

Info Product Creation: Interviewing Experts

One of my favorite ways to create a product for sale or giveaway is to do an interview with experts or others with a special point of view. If you have been following my Blog Talk Radio series caller Yearlings, you will know that the interviewee need not be world famous. Yet if you try you would be surprised how many famous people you can actually get to participate in an interview – if you ask.

What’s it all about, Alfie?

For Baby Boomers of my age, the title will resonate a little. I wanted to take a little diversion and discuss just what the economic act was we are engaged in as internet marketers. We are gatherers and distributors of information to a needy public. We deliver what we do, just when the public needs it, which is defined as when they are looking for it.

We gather information in various niches and reshape it, edit it, convert it to ebooks, videos and podcasts and more. Then when someone who is looking for information buys our ebook, we are fulfilling and economic need and engaging in an economic act.

How we assemble the raw materials of the content, is less important than the act of actually getting it to them.

I take this diversion and make this little fuss, because there are still some who somehow find private label material to be somehow less perfect way of doing things. Instead, PLR or any other content source you use is fair game if your objective is to satisfy the end users need for information. And that it the economic function you play.

Now this doesn’t mean you disregard the intellectual property and copyrights of others. But it does mean you can feel extremely ethical when you are acquiring research and other content and using them as you see fit – when you use them according to the specific rights you obtain for them.

Yearling Interview with Michael O’Reilly

The second in my series of “Yearling” interviews ran into a technical snafu at the end, but was quite interesting, and worth listening to, if I say so myself.

I had the pleasure to Interview Michael O’Reilly of Streamwood, Il.

Michael has a list of 1600 unique members that he built in the last 6 months. We discuss his background and how he built his list, and many other related topics. He is proud of his review site at http://www.oreillyreviews.com, and has been developing multiple approaches to marketing online. He has had success with a You-Tube strategy and talks about some mentors of his.

He got cut off at the end, so it ends a bit prematurely. I will get better at this.

Be my Guest!

I would love to interview you during a future show. If you have a list of at least 1500 and under 10K or so, email me for additional info. enetwal@gmail.com Put “Yearlings” in the Subject Line.

Roy Fielding’s Blog Talk Radio Yearlings Interview

Well, I finally got the bugs worked out and the Premier of my new series called Yearlings is up and recorded on Blog Talk Radio. You can click on the player below and hear my half hour with Roy Fielding or Tyngsboro, Mass.

The player is down below if want to pause it while you are reading.

Roy has been online since 2001 and is making a living with a list of just 7300 unique people. During the conversation, we discussed Squeeze pages, followup emails,where Roy generates the majority of his sales and a variety of other aspects of internet marketing.

The next blog talk radio broadcast will be next Tuesday at Noon EDT. Go to BlogTalkRadio.com and search for “Yearlings.”

The goal of this show is to discuss the issues facing beginning and intermediate internet marketers about the realities of making money online. Despite eBook Promotional hype to the contrary, it takes time and effort, particularly if you are taking the boot strap route to success.

By sharing the practical advice of those who have made it to the first step and beyond, I hope to help illuminate some of the realities to those who are following in the footsteps of today’s emerging internet marketing leaders.

I would appreciate you comments and suggestions for future shows. Are there any questions or topics you would like me to ask future guests?

Using Video for Infromation Product Creation

In the last session on Product Creation we discussed audio, which is nice an easy and quick. Video requires a bit more to edit, and frankly I just do small shots so I can re-record when I need to. Eventually, I and you will need to get more professional but for the time being quick and dirty videos can grab and hold attention, communicate yourself as a real person and create a more valuable learning platform combining visual with aural and in the case of powerpoint based videos that power of reading to the learning process.

Out society has grown up watching TV so the video format is clearly a widely accepted way to share information as I try to do in today’s video on video.

How to be an “Expert”

One of the biggest obstacles for many people, that keeps them from creating their own information products to give away or sell online is the feeling that they are not “expert” enough to share information.

This is a misunderstanding, but common, so in the video below, I describe how one might go about creating an eBook from scratch in a brand new niche that you know nothing about and then spend a little time clarifying what an expert is.

Write Your Own Information Product

Of the seven approaches the creating an information product the first and most obvious is to write your own, the old fashioned way. As I mention in the video below, you do not need to be an English major to write a good and useful information product.

In fact, you may be better off with fewer big words and literary allusions, and stick to the facts with simple clear sentences.

Once created you want to protect your intellectual property by converting your file to a PDF document. Personally, I use the free Open Office Word Program which allows me to export the file as a PDF with a simple click of a button.
