Using promotional products to advertise your online business is a very effective way to make money online. Products that can be freely given away not only reward you with greater exposure but they also create a feeling of goodwill. Obviously these benefits are valuable assets to any online business.
But where do you find products you can give away without putting a bigger strain on your marketing budget? Well how about developing your own INFORMATION products for use as free giveaways?
Here is an EASY 3 step process through which you can create your own products for use in any promotional advertising campaign.
#1 THE SOURCE
To create our own information products we'll first need to do some research. What we're looking for is a source that is continually growing contains information covering a vast range of subjects.
Here's is where we'll decide to work 'smarter' and not 'harder' by letting others do the research for us. By tapping into any of the thousands of article directories on the internet we should be able to find information on just about anything.
These directories contain the research results of countless writers. The coolest part about this particular source is the information contained within is always being updated.
#2 NARROWING YOUR SEARCH
Now as we browse about within any of these directories we'll want to work efficiently. After deciding what type product to create we simply narrow the search to directory categories that likely contain relevant information.
Most article directories have a search box into which you can type the topic you're looking for. At this point your research has begun in earnest as you start to accumulate the information you'll need to complete your information product.
By repeating this process at several directory sites you should have little problem collecting more than enough information from which you can produce a quality product.
Select any where from fifty to one hundred articles overall to complete the research portion of your product creation.
#3 PULLING IT TOGETHER
Organize your research into an order that makes sense for what it is you're trying to create. By categorizing the accumulated information you've already begun to create 'chapters' for your information product. After this is completed you'll next create a table of contents.
Now sorting thru the wealth of information you've collected should rewrite your findings. Look at what you've accumulated then much like a casual conversion present it in your own words. Your writing style should reflect the subject and the audience you're targeting. A lighthearted and casual tone would be appropriate for young adults while a more serious and clinical tone is more fitting for the scholarly crowd.
Much like in article writing you'll also want to include an introduction and a conclusion. Let the readers know what the purpose of your product is and how they will benefit from it in the introduction. Your conclusion should simply sum up what they just read and again remind them of how it should benefit them.
Now you'll want to transform your finished product into a pdf format for a more professional and appealing appearance. Simply do a search for 'primopd' on the internet and download this FREE software. After installation this software incorporates itself into the printing function on your computer. Once your information product is complete you simply hit file then print then choose Primo pdf as your printer when you print it out. Like 'magic' your document will be saved in a pdf format that can be printed out or distributed as such.
Creating your own promotional products to use in your online marketing efforts can be done easily with just a little research. By increasing an awareness of your online business in this manner you'll also induce more positive feelings about you in potential customers. This in turn should make any future sales efforts more effective.
