There is hidden gold in content you have already written.<\/p>\n
For most writers, that content sits idle in file cabinets and on
\nhard drives — wasting away and not earning them a dime.<\/p>\n
Except, in the explosive information marketing industry, content
\nowners can now generate thousands of dollars of additional
\nprofits from content they already have!<\/p>\n
For instance, over the years, I developed many documents used in
\nmy freelance writing business — model letters, client agreements,
\nchecklists, press releases, invoices, and so on.<\/p>\n
One day, I said to myself, “Why not sell all these documents,
\nwhich I already have and are proven to work, to other copywriters
\nand aspiring copywriters as an e-book?”<\/p>\n
It took me only 2 hours to assemble these documents, all sitting
\non my hard drive as Word files, into an e-book manuscript.<\/p>\n
I gave the manuscript to a graphic artist to design a cover and
\nthe interior pages, and turn it into an e-book with the title
\n“The Copywriter’s Toolkit,” which he did for $200.<\/p>\n
Result? To date, we have sold 2,317 copies generating $117,663 in
\ngross revenues — all from content I had already written.<\/p>\n
And you wonder why so many people just love online info
\nmarketing!<\/p>\n
3 tips I give to writers and others who create intellectual
\ncontent that can help you sell your words and ideas over and over
\nagain, quickly and affordably, online:<\/p>\n
1–Keep everything you write, published and unpublished, with
\nclearly labeled files in easy-to-remember directories and
\nsubdirectories. You have to know where your content is stored and
\nbe able to retrieve it in electronic format quickly.<\/p>\n
2–Same goes for speeches, seminars, workshops, lectures,
\nwebinars, podcasts, and the like; make sure it is recorded and
\nyou get a master of the mp3 or mp4 file.<\/p>\n
3–Retain all rights to your written and spoken content. Negotiate
\nthis with the producers and publishers if not offered
\nautomatically.<\/p>\n
One way to do this with written content: Type the words “first
\nrights only” in the upper left corner of every article you submit
\nto a magazine, newsletter, or web site. By doing so, you retain
\nthe right to use it as you wish once it appears that publication.<\/p>\n
Content creators who either give up the rights to their material
\nor do not save and store it properly for easy retrieval are
\nthrowing away the potential fortune hidden in their “content
\ngoldmines.” Remember, I made over $117K selling a bunch of
\ndocuments, forms, and letters I had already written — creating
\nnothing original for my Toolkit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
