Let’s assume for the sake of this article that, your information product has exhausted its salability.  Its online market life has reached the end of the line.  Majority of the people of its focused market have bought a copy, and no purchases have been registered for a long period of time now.

Should this indicate that your eBook has stopped being a profit generator and should be put to rest already?

Two words: absolutely not!

Assuming that your digital product has seemingly reached the end of its shelf life, you can still earn from such by pursuing other courses of action and effectuating new strategies.  Your information product still got some fight in it, and its just comes down to choosing the correct forum for what it can still provide.

Let’s discuss five ways which you can use to continue to earn from old information products:

1.    Attach resale rights to your eBook.  By promoting your product with the added bonus in the earning opportunity of being enabled to resell such for profit, you will be tapping into a different audience – online marketers who are constantly on the lookout for products to sell.  More importantly, by including resale rights to your product, you can offer the same for at least 400% more than your regular price.

2.    Sell private label rights to your digital product.  PLR is much like resale rights, but, PLR provides the right to change, convert and/or modify the product, as well as the right to include one’s name as the creator thereof.  Some product creators wish to preserve the structure and integrity of their eBooks and only attach the more restrictive resale rights.  But there are some product originators just want to profit from their products and they provide the grandest rights possible, which is PLR, to command the best price that can be acquired.

3.    Chop down your information product and use the segmented parts for a variety web marketing purposes.  Articles?  Web content?  An e-course?  As messages for your newsletter?  Your fading information product can be a maginificent resource for such things.

4.    Reformat your information product and utilize it as a viral marketing seed.  Publish your link/s on every page and distribute the eBook free of charge.  Witness the number of visitors generated to your website grow at an ever growing rate.

5.    Make your information product into a physical product and offer the same in online or real world bookstores.  There are countless fulfillment services on the World Wide Web that are dedicated to such a task.  My personal preference is Lulu.com, for the sole reason that they don’t impose a specific quantity as minimum order.

Syndicate Kahuna – What’s it all about? A blog feeder or an article marketing service depending on which side of the fence you are sat.

Using Syndicate Kahuna as an article distribution service: You write the articles using a method that makes them spinable so that each time your article is posted it is unique. Choose the category that best fits your article and the system then drip feeds a unique article to each blog that has been put into the system within that category. Because every post is unique and drip fed into the system slowly (1 every 6 hours), the links within the posts will be much more natural than usual article marketing where the exact same article suddenly shows up within all the article directories. A small fee will be charged to use Syndicate Kahuna as an article distribution service.

Using Syndicate Kahuna as a blog feeder: Sign up and enter user details for all the blogs you wish to submit into the service. Syndicate Kahuna then checks the categories of your blogs and feeds related posts to these categories as regular as you wish, once a day, twice a day, three times a week etc. The blog feeder service is free and there are no plans to start charging a fee at any point in the future. All blogs will at first be receiving articles put together by the professional marketers who are members of Portal Feeder, the high end marketing members only club. Your articles will be unique and written to rank well for selected keyword phrases.

Syndicate Kahuna say they have designed their system to deal with a huge 22 000 blogs so the spread of your articles can be huge. What makes Syndicate Kahuna so good though is the way it deals with spun content. Spin ready content is when you write several variation for words, sentences and even paragraphs. The system selects one option and then move to the next and selecting another one and so on. Even by just writing 3 versions of each sentence in a 20 sentence article gives you potentially thousands of unique posts from just that one article.

The launch of Syndicate Kahuna could signal the end for many of the PLR membership sites. What marketer is going to purchase PLR articles, spend the time required to rewrite it and then the time needed to visit each blog every other day to post the articles when they can sign up with Syndicate Kahuna for free and have all that work done automatically?

Article Marketing Automation, a similar service but on a smaller scale launched recently by PLRPro proved to be a huge success. Syndicate Kahuna is run by the same guys that created Portal Feeder and Traffic Kahuna and both these memberships are always full. Traffic Kahuna shut its doors within a few hours of opening and has remained closed ever since, while Portal Feeder’s doors have been shut since Christmas 07.

This should tell you 2 things, the services offered by these guys are exceptionally good because members rarely give up their places and that if you want to get your blogs into Syndicate Kahuna you should act fast.

These days, if you are hoping to make money blogging it is more important than ever to keep in mind that it is more important to provide visitors with a simple and attractive layout than to try to lure them in with fancy graphics. Today’s internet surfers are increasingly impatient with glitzy web design and prefer quick and direct access to high quality, dynamic web content on the topics that interest them.

Dynamic content has proven to be one of the most important elements in not only attracting targeted traffic to a website or blog, but also in bringing them back to the site again and again. Webmasters across the board agree that it is much better to provide the things that web visitors seek so that they come back rather than constantly trying to find new visitors. It is much easier to make money blogging when your blog attracts repeat visitors as its estimated a site visitor often needs to see your message up to seven times before they will buy a product.

Dynamic web content is not only of great importance to site visitors, but it is also a key element in how the search engines value the content and place the page in the search engine ranking pages, or SERPs. The major search engines all place a lot of value on content that is not only fresh and relevant, but also on content that is user generated as well.

Because of the above facts, having dynamic content throughout a website can weigh heavily in favor of a site that is diligently trying to make the most of search engine marketing. Good SEO (search engine optimization), together with great web content that is regularly updated, is a powerful combination that can improve your potential to make money blogging substantially.

Ranking high in the search engines for specific keywords that are directly related to the topic and purpose of a website is an essential internet marketing strategy and one of the best ways to assure a nice stream of visitors, without having to go to the expense of advertising the website or blog. At the same time, once visitors arrive at a site that is filled with dynamic content that provides the kind of info they are seeking, they are more likely to bookmark the site, subscribe to your rss feed, or subscribe to your email auto responders that provides additional free web information on the topic they are interested in.

One key to generating dynamic content that visitors enjoy and benefit from and that the search engines are attracted to is to provide a way for visitors to interact and add to the content. Allowing your blog visitors to submit comments on your posts will encourage open debate between your visitors. This encourages them to return to check other comments plus the search engines love the fact that your pages are always changing and growing with more content.

Blogging software, such as WordPress, can serve as an excellent web content management system, which is very well-suited for a site that is rich in dynamic web content. WordPress blogs are easy to set up, add content to and manage comments from users, all from an easy to use control panel. Blogs make website development so easy that even a webmaster with a new website can soon make money blogging.
