CONTEST CLOSED (!!) — ENTER TO WIN $5100+ of Dan Kennedy’s Best Products … 3-Giant Boxes of Success Knowledge!
EDIT: (December 9th) … This contest now CLOSED
WINNER: #181 was drawn… the Contest Winner is Evgeny Zabavnikov
************************************
We ran this contest once before and it was very popular.
So we’re doing it again!
The prize on the line is 3-giant boxes of Dan Kennedy’s best information products valued at a true retail price of over $5000+ if you were to buy these separately.
More importantly, by studying and *implementing* the content taught in Dan Kennedy’s courses, you could potentially create A LOT more than just $5000! And you can win it all for FREE (we even cover full shipping costs!).
Want to see what you’ll get? The full contents is presented by legendary marketer and copywriter Carl Galletti in the video posted above. NOTE: The upcoming November 24th promotion of Dan Kennedy’s INFO RICHES, the 21-CD, 12-DVD, 2 Big Book system is not included in this 3-big box collection.
We wanted to make this simple enough to enter, but only reward those who take a minute to really reflect and give thought to what’s missing in their own business.
So the Rules are simple:
(1) Answer the ONE QUESTION that we’ll give you below and if it’s more than a one-word reply, (ie: you actually thought about the reply), your name will be entered in for the draw. To be entered into the draw, post your reply as a Comment. NOTE: The video from Carl suggests that the BEST answer will win. That’s how we previously structured this contest but it was next to impossible to pick a “best answer”… so instead, anyone who posts a legitimate, thought-out answer will have the same fair chance at winning the 3-big boxes of Dan’s products!
(2) On Monday, December 8th all of the qualifying comments will be entered into a list. Our random number generator software will then select a winning number so it’s a very fair system.
(3) We’ll then announce the winner on the same day (Dec 8th) by email and post the winner right here on this blog. Make sure you’re subscribed at www.Info-Riches.com to be notified when the winner is announced and we’ll ship 3-giant boxes of Dan Kennedy’s best content right to your door-step just in time for a big, beautiful Christmas gift from us! (* We can’t guarantee arrival of your shipment during the holiday season but we’ll work to make sure the boxes arrive before Christmas for you to enjoy!)

52. Offer Options: how to structure the most appealing Offer.
I think its very fundamental for being successful to make offers as appealing as possible. Only customers that feel comfortable with the offer will buy. So I would be interested to learn more about.

Rapid Research! I love research, and have only one problem with it — I might enjoy the research so much that I’d never get around to creating something from it!
November 14th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Both 6 and 11 are what I am looking for.
6: I am developing a few memebership benefit sites that could use contents from top experts.
11: I am looking for great long term continuity. I am looking to build so much value that subscribers stay for years!
Thank you!

This is the reason that would make a difference in my business: 76. Copywriting: as you know, two years ago I conducted a complete seminar exclusively about copywriting – here we will review and examine the critically important keys as they relate specifically to selling info-products and How to get top-drawer direct-response copywriters to work for you for free. The reason I feel this would help me the most is because I am not a good writer. I have a very difficult time coming up with any kind of content, so getting top-drawer direct-response copywriters to work for me for free would be absolutely awesome, because then I would have a fresh new e-book that I could call my own and I think that I would be able to make a lot of money with this. Sorry that sentence was a little long, but you see what I mean, I don’t even know when to end a sentence.
I hope that I win, but good luck to the other people who reply.
Thanks,
Diana C.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
After reading over all 77 of the reasons why Info Riches will…
I selected the last one:
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
To me, that appears to be the “holy grail” for the future of an infopreneur and their information marketing business.
Be Well!

How to get a higher price via “limited continuity”: a different way to package and sell a high-priced product. This is so on target in our economy today. I am looking to take a high price item and create a continuity program with it. This will get me paid upfront so I can do other marketing using someone else’s money.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
“37. How to use continuity-type products to create stable, predictable cash flow AND equity AND more valuable customers”
This would take me from learning & start up which is where I am now to being able to fund my 4 grandchildren’s college educations, so they could start life without a mountain of debt. I believe this would build a sustainable business.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
33. Identifying, nurturing, and exploiting the Hyper-Responsive Customer. Having a great product is cool, but if you don’t sell it you’re stuck in the poorhouse with me. Maybe this product (which I can’t even afford!) will help me with this!
November 14th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
How to create products that others will want to sell. I’ve made a great 200 page ebook and 2 hour how to video in the home health care market and can’t seem to get it off the ground. I’ve talked to JVs in the IM space and they all keep telling me they only deal in IM products — and I have to believe they also have their own niche sites that are non-IM. I’m not writing a book on instructional design and instructional for your info product because most do not use the science of instructional design for educating adult learners to plan their projects. If I can learn this aspect of the business, I think I can handle most of the rest.
November 14th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
6. Green marketers such as myself have trouble creating our own products, whether that is an ebook or a piece of software. By getting experts to contribute to my own unique info product, I would be able to not only get a foothold on my chosen niche, I’d also gain credibility, publicity, even some eager JV partners!
Thanks
November 14th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
#67 I really only need one of the 77 reasons and the rest are just icing on the cake.
Interviewing experts & turning them into info products.
It really can’t get any better than that.
Thanks To All.

Combining some of the 77 Reasons to outsource many, if not all, of a companies daily activities. Dan Kennedy has mentioned many times how he built his businesses with zero or a few employees. With outsourcing I would have more time to focus on current customers and develop new customers to grow my business.
November 14th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
A guarantee of success and an insurance policy against failure and loss? What could be better than that? Even if there is no free lunch, it’s comforting to know there is a guarantee of success for something.

Why, when and how to use Self-Liquidating Lead Generation
I have watched presentations on Self-Liquidating offers, and Lead Generation. The concept sounds like it should be fairly straight forward. It also sounds like it should be very beneficial to my bottom line. Marketing is something I never studied in school, so it doesn’t come so easily to me. While some marketing concepts are fairly easy to grasp, -Liquidating offers for Lead Generation is not one of them.
Picking one reason out of 77 was very difficult, there are so many I would like to learn.
Thanks,
Matthew
November 14th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I chose #23. Why, when and how to profitably use a “free” newsletter. I believe a good newsletter is a great marketing tool because it is a win-win for everyone. The person receiving the newsletter will hopefully get helpful content and want to receive more, therefore the owner of the newsletter has an ever increasing list of people to intorduce his products too. I would like to learn how to use newsletters ti help others while I also increase profits.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
Continuity is the “Holy Grail” of info marketing. To be able to create, sustain and maintain value in a program that serves clients well, over time, with quality content while earning a residual, recurring income is where I want to focus.
Firstly to learn which market or niche suits me personally and has marketing gravitas.
How to bring an idea from mind to market in the creation and implementation.
How to enhance value in the product over time.
How to supply and enhance support structures for clients.
How to continually improve communication between myself, my business and clients while building a significant brand presence.
Developing and maintaining trust and credibility with new and existing clientele.
How to continually feed the continuity program with fresh, vital leads through a well constructed, value laden, moral and ethical marketing sales funnel.
How to create solid, respectful, enjoyable and fruitful business partnerships and joint venture initiatives with mutual interest directions and goals.
How to avoid and protect your business from the legal trappings of running an online venture.
These above points, if mastered, will greatly enhance my business and earning potential. To be able to learn and improve in these areas are paramount for any business whether online or off and would be, I feel, greatly appreciated by the majority of those who are either just starting out or who are experienced marketers and business people.
These skills are honed over time and to have the opportunity to hear from some of the best in the business on how they go about addressing these areas is invaluable, the benefits incalculable.
This question touches on practically everything there is to know about business and marketing. If you can create a successful continuity product that has happy, contented clients then, I feel, you would be well considered as having achieved real success within yourself and in your business.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I will be pleased to learn about the following: 29. Re-cycling old product for new income.
Reason: There is no new knowledge any where, all knowledge has been and I need to learn how to recycle wise people’s product to make it big in the info era.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
I would Really like to know what you are talking about.
an “insurance policy” so to speak.
This I would love to know!

No 41 Long-Term Vision: how to create Wealth via info-products I think this will be the most useful information to learn because it seems to cover a very important reason for learning about Internet Marketing.
Thanks,
JIM
November 14th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Picking one reason out of 77 was very difficult, there are so many I would like to learn. I have used some of these highly saught after principles and they are extremely effective!
Thanks a ton. Looking forward to the release!!!

November 14th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
There are several I’d like to pick, but since we can only pick one, I’d say reason number 10 that I think most valuable for me.
10. Command exceptionally high prices and maintain high margins
Why?
I am a big believer that selling lesser with a high price is far better than selling low priced items.
And in my observation, people that sell their products with higher price would get more credibility then those who sell their item in lower pricing. (Considering the product is high quality as well).
Thanks!

36. Rapid Market Research: 5 things to do, to get a more thorough understanding of a target market.
Market research is the weakest (as in “practically nonexistent”) part of my IM business. I can’t get out ofmy own way when it some to products! I keep creating the product I want to sell, instead of identifying a market and what they want to buy.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Great replies. REALLY glad to see that you’re considering which elements are your own weakest links. Identify the leaks, plug the leaks and then improve on everything else.
Keep them coming. We look forward to reading through them. Again, it’s not a “best answer” that will win (it was just too tough last time we tried to run it with that format), so let’s just hear what you feel would make a difference in taking your business/income to the next levels.
Rick… I found this bit of insight especially entertaining:
“I keep creating the product I want to sell, instead of identifying a market and what they want to buy.”
I’m sure A LOT of information marketers could say that they shared the same problem at one point.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
How to create products that have exceptional sales appeal
I like this because it is the equivalent of saying create a product that will produce for you. I like to measure results.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
“How to virtually guarantee a new infoproduct and its marketing will be successful & profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an insurance policy against loss or failure.”
I am new to internet marketing and have looked into several “sure-fire ways to success” which have produced nothing but headaches and a nearly empty wallet. However, I believe that if anyone can provide true keys to successful marketing, it is Dan Kennedy. I can tell that my luck is about to change. Thanks in advance, Dan!
November 15th, 2008 at 12:14 am
35. Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses
At least in part because I think I might be making some of them already, and I’m only just building up, so I’d like to avoid them from the beginning.
November 15th, 2008 at 12:43 am
58. How to create Credibility for info-products!
As a Newbie in the internet marketing world, this is one thing that must be establish, at for me. there’s always an advantage specially in getting a joint venture with the top boys when you create and established credibility for the info products you have created.
At the same, establishing credibility takes more time. The building of relationship of trust to other internet marketers must be shown and that you are willing to contribute to add value not only to your potential JV partners but to your customers as well…
November 15th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Thanks Rob for this fantastic contest. You have made all of winners already by introducing us to the 77 points Dan Kennedy covers.
If I had to pick just one ( very hard indeed) I would go for: The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life”, each with value exceeding thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
The key words here are customer and life. Not just names sitting on your list but true customers and for a lifetime meaning that you build a valuable relationship with them. I look forward to hearing what Dan has to say about this. With this information at my fingertips, the rest should be smooth sailing.
Thanks again!
To your fabulous success,

There are so many great topics that can help me make money that I couldn’t choose just one.
This amazing product will make me a ton more money!
November 15th, 2008 at 4:33 am
“Command exceptionally high prices and maintain high margins.”
I would love to hear Dan explain how anyone who does not already have his stellar reputation can do this.
And by the way, the “77 reasons” page is the first video page I’ve seen where it’s impossible to find a way to turn off that huckster voice on the video. What an awful, annoying experience going to that page first thing in the morning. And that “buy my junk” voice is a real turn off.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:10 am
As I read the 77 items, I realize that I need to learn about 70 of them. I am interested in #11 and #37 to create continuity, but I would also like to learn #62 How to make a fortune giving your info-products away for free.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:21 am
I would have to choose #41. Long-Term Vision: how to create Wealth via info-products
I think this is the most important element for me – developing a long-term strategy that utilizes the best principles for building a solid business. I’m not interested in quick fixes or gimmicks.
My in-box is flooded with offers to make me rich overnight, I’d rather create a structured, multi-pronged online business that creates sustainable growth down the road.
Thanks, Dan, for all the great info!
November 15th, 2008 at 10:12 am
I would choose all of them lol. Each one is of value to me …. but as I’m limited to just the one, I would have to choose:
“How to create products that others will want to sell”.
One important aspect of generating viable wealth streams is duplication and using other peoples time/energy to your advantage. Having 10,000 salespeople working with me to build my product exposure is of utmost importance. What is the best way to encourage and retain these professionals to pay some extra time and care to my products over my competitors? Money can’t be the only incentive, so what else motivates their decision as to what products to endorse?
Answering these types of questions gives me insight and value that will build my business and my success, which is the reason I look towards informational sources such as this.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:16 am
24. How to build a paid circulation newsletter business
The reason this would help me…is because I have plans to start, market, and develop a paid circulation print newsletter in the biz-opp category…including dvd of the month.
I have identified a part of the biz-opp market that needs help …and am creating this newsletter to address that.
November 15th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
My choice is #62: I’ve always given away information for free and I’d love to know how I can make income from ‘doin’ what comes naturally’.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:57 am
69. I would like to learn from Top achievers so that I can apply thier precious experiances and success systems in my business.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:38 am
#60: 14 Steps to “World Class Expert” status
Although all 77 reasons are compelling, I think that being perceived as a “world wide expert” is the most important one for me. With an expert status you could achieve many of the other factors, such as celebrity endorsement, lifetime customers, commanding higher prices, having users contributing content, speaking at events, etc.
November 16th, 2008 at 4:37 am
HI,AS I AM A NEWBIE TO INFO PUBLISHING,I AM FINDING A LOT OF THE INFO IS TOUGH TO DO,BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO FOR SALES COPY AND THE LEGALITIES SECTOR IN DANS INFO PRODUCTS TO BE VERY USEFUL.THANKS CHARLIE.
November 16th, 2008 at 7:37 am
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
Honestly, being very new to the IM scene I think everything listed in your 77 Reason is all a vital part of every business, and being a newbie I would not want to miss even 1 tiny morsel.
From a beginners point of view, WOW!! I don’t think that
anyone in there right mind (or left) would want to enbark on any business without all the tools necessary to become sucessful.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Item No 58.This would enhance the members trust in my web site with true believable products of valuable information necessary to there success as well as my own.

How to use continuity-type products to create stable, predictable cash flow AND equity AND more valuable customers
I am in the planning stages for a website that I would like to turn into a membership site once I have earned my readers trust.
Having continuity products would help me achieve a more stable monthly income.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
52. Offer Options: how to structure the most appealing Offer
Simply because if my offers would become iresistable, everybody would have to take me up on them … and cashing …*-)
Michael
November 16th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I’m pretty sure I’ve got to go with #11 again: “11. How to…’lock in’ stable monthly cash flow and income.” Sure beats constant promotion of multiple products and/or creation of one product after another.
November 16th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
#33 – How to minimize customer service without creating customer dissatisfaction is the key to our success. Total Quality Service is the goal – continuous Quality Improvement is the Process – Once it’s built into the whole operation, failure is not an option.
November 16th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
*I believe fear of failure is the biggest hurdle in starting and completing any project. It takes trust and work in the choice that I’ve made to achieve anything. And having that ‘insurance police’ handy can remind me to go on, to trust in the strategy, in the process and actually use fear, frustration or any challenge that crops up to motivate me more to finish the task in the best way possible.
Three Challenges of Success includes: 1. Starting 2. Middle 3. End. An ‘insurance policy’ with all three points clearly stated: starting – process in between – and an ending – fully described, accepted, and applied greatly increases my odds of guaranteed success! As most failures occur because one never starts, or stop in between or do not know when to evaluate or learn from the end results.
Yes, an ‘insurance policy’ will allow me to start any new venture in launching a new info product with a greater positive outlook and the motivation to do all it takes to reap positive results. How to write that ‘insurance policy’ is a worthy endeavor and skill to know!
Thanks for the contest!

The comment that says; “Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses: how my clients have shot themselves in the foot” has my name written all over it.
I’ve made so many mistakes with internet marketing, I can’t even count any more. Here are my top five.
1) I tend to buy new informational products like they are very inexpensive and easy to implement programs. Then when I find out how detailed they are, I end up putting them off.
2) Procrastination. Since I buy so many products, I tend to start a project and never complete it. I always move on to another product.
3)I never learn how to develop a product using one proceedure. I always think the next big, best offer is better and move on to that one.
4) My marketing plan is so scattered, I can never figure out a game plan on where to start, what needs to be done next and how to create a funnel system to develope new products.
5) I buy downloadable information products and then I forget I have them on my computer. I could go months and then remember that I started working on one of them and then realize I don’t remember what it was all about. So, I end up starting that project again…and then putting it aside for another.
As you can see, I have a viscious cycle of always looking for something better.

because in my blog i have a need for real valuble content.
November 17th, 2008 at 10:53 am
14 Steps to “World Class Expert” status
number 60
The reason i choose that was because i amunder the impresion that you must be or at least act as a authority in your niche.Like this people will follow you and believe in what you say a perfect example is this blog, it would surprise my if anyone reading this would not see dan Kennedy as an authoritive figure in this area,information/internet marketing. the problem is that i have not achieved that and i hope with this i will.
thank you

77 Yes i can really appreciate virtually Guaranteed Success for my info products. When do I get to buy?
Regards Ian
November 17th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
First, thanks for running this contest!
My pick would be:
“77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure. ”
It seems to me that this is the most important of the 77 because if you know how to GUARANTEE that your product and the marketing of it will be successful you have eliminated any time you would spend on products that would ultimately be unsuccessful.
Knowing this alone will eliminate wasted time, resources and capital. Plus you will be able to spend any time you otherwise would have wasted, on additional products that your customers want giving you more, happier customers and additional revenue streams.
And that is independent of whether the product is a standalone product, one with built in future upsells or a continuity program.
Thanks

November 17th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Being new to info marketing, my pick is #41. Without the vision of where this can take you, it would be hard to implement the other 76.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:03 am
No. 55 : How to write, present and manage Guarantees, to maximize sales is my most important reason.
In any sales process, I believe we must always optimize the result for any sales opportunity that we generate.
Therefore the art of writing, presenting, and managing guarantees that can maximize sales will become most important guidance in the sales process.
November 18th, 2008 at 1:41 am
My pick is No. 76 copywriting. Am always intrigued by the art putting words in paper and thus creating a 24/7 salesman, with this I believe the rest will be a piece of cake.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:11 am
These 77 reasons are all very valid and they all have a vital place in the business composition.
What I lack is not here because this is aimed at those who actually know what they are trying to do and have already some experience of failing at it.
No matter how much I read and spend on ‘how to’ books and videos, there is always an assumption on the part of the author that I know things that I do not know at all.
Without a good solid foundation of ‘must know’ business basics for the internet, these 77 reasons will not help the newbie unless he/she is capable of extrapolating the missing content.
One of the most often used and most frustratingly under taught processes is ‘research’. I know how to research but it was not until I enetered the internet marketing arena that I discovered that I could no longer trust any site or person claiming to provide the basic information I am seeking.
The one question that is not answered in this list is “Who on earth can I trust when I am looking for entry level details on any aspect of business creation and development or product creation and development?”
November 18th, 2008 at 6:33 am
It’s so easy just to be a linear thinker, so I find out of the box thinking necessary. That’s why reasons 1 and 44 really fascinate me. Building content to presell something else and reinventing yourself keeps the business viable throughout all circumstances. How is this possible? I can’t wait to find out!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:28 am
Hi Dan,
It’s really hard to pick just one! I need them all. :’)
However, I’m going to pick number 72 (How to periodically set up “Giant Pay-Days”) because I think that if you know that, you will also have the information in all of the others as background. AND I have three kids in private college and another yet to graduate highshcool, so I could really use some “Giant Pay-Days”.
Thanks in advance for the three boxes of prizes. *wink*

11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income:
That is one of my problems. How can I find or develop such a product? I need also assistance, around suitable website to develop.
I must still compile all other 76 reasons.
November 18th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I think at the moment it has to be
7. How to create products that have exceptional sales appeal
That’s the stumbling block I find hardest to overcome. From what I think will sell to what actually WILL sell is important for me.

25. Paid Newsletter Renewals: what works, what doesn’t…
I have gained valuable information from various ‘free’ pulications but I do notice more meat in a paid subscription. I personally have written material, unpublished, that I know would be of value and have screened this material with my peers who also agree as to its worthiness. In this section “Paid Newsletter Renewals-what works and what doesn’t…” this would benefit myself as well as others in providing a guideline on the best methods used for newletter writting and how to create that ‘must have’ extended subscription.
I’ve learned placement is a key factor in not only products but services and to ensure that continues, integrity with a little bit of knowing more than your competitor will gain that edge. The art of selling is more a lesson in physchology, once you know what they want, you can easily design a system that creates that desire!
I hope to hear more from you and thank you for this opportunity!
November 18th, 2008 at 9:54 am
im choosing:
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
the reason i am choosing this is because I think If i could GUARANTEE that my new information product could be sucessfull i would not be scared of starting up a new business.
by the way i think this competition is an absolutly amazing idea!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:27 am
I agree with Hendra, although there’s lots of great choices I too would pick number 10.
10. Command exceptionally high prices and maintain high margins
Why? I think in the long run marketing to a demographic that has the largest disposable income has the greatest stability and earning capacity.
Have a Great Day!

#8 – How to create products that have a sales story.
A great & personal sales story is the key to high sales, it invites people in and gets them involved.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:45 am
“How to get a higher price via “limited continuity”: a different way to package and sell a high-priced product”
My 2009 strategy all hinges around creating higher priced products. I’d love to get Dan’s take on this.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:55 am
16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
Although I know the importance of researching my market, I always find it hard to find the resources that can help me do it quickly and easily. I always get kind of “roadblocked” by the research part of product creation!
This would help me out TREMENDOUSLY.
For instance, I’m actually writing a report right now on offline marketing but don’t know where to find statistics to support what I’m saying (even though I know I’ve seen the statistics before).
Thanks!

P.S. MAN that was a hard decision – all the topics would be awesome to learn about!

Hi Dan,
I would pick #60 as my answer and the following is the reason why.
I have been doing affiliate marketing and niche marketing (selling my own information products) for quite some time now but I really don’t know how can I bring it to the next level. Is it coming up with a series? Is it taking the whole business offline rather than just marketing it online? Or is it to make appearance on offline media such as talk shows in order to become the “expert”?
To become a worldwide expert on a niche, I understand that one needs more than just plain products and marketing skills and thus, I would love to have the chance to drill deeper into this topic.
Thanks for reading.

77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
That one for sure. First Last and Most.
November 18th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I like No. 14 How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product
Because this is Quick and it sounds like a nice Juicy Product I think it could have good great value.
It could be a whole Days seminar which might cost $977 or similar. But the value would have to be really worth $55000 with proof in the sales info.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
#11, continuity, would be most timely for me, given my plans.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Hi Rob, this is Christopher B.
I choose both selections,
26. How to make “content” for a really good newsletter easy (4 tactics)
70. The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life”, each with value exceeding thousands to
tens of thousands of dollars.
Hi Rob, my choice to be able to learn more about is number 26 and number 70.
What seems to be the most overlooked thing in the info marketing business is the absolute
importance of building a personally held, responsive, email mailing list. I have heard it said
that if you have your own responsive mail list, you can virtually make money any time you
want; by just sending good offers to your list. The list must have been ‘cultivated’ by the
list owner (beforehand) and the members need to feel they can trust you somewhat more than a total stranger. But after you have this relationship between the list owner and the members, it may be possible that the members will
buy and buy and buy again, the products that the list owner is offering them. That being said, Having
good content, high quality content will make it, so that people will want to stick with you,
and not get too bored by the same old thing. Entertaining people is sometimes more important
than selling them something. Entertaining people may also be the key to building good
trustworthy relationships, that will last for many years to come.
Thank you Rob for offering this wonderful blog project that is educating (and entertaining us),
and is helping us learn how to be more successful in the internet marketing business.
Special thank you to Dan Kennedy for giving
us a chance to be a part of INFO RICHES project.
Dan, you have done so much for the entire internet
information marketing field and I am forever grateful!
God bless you.

November 18th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I choose #77.
The idea of maximizing return with a minimum of time and capital invested is the “Holy Grail” of business.
I don’t mind losing some capital as much as losing the time invested into a failed or underperforming project.
Money can be replaced, time can’t. I’m interested in anything I can do to minimize the loss of invested time.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
70. The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life”, each with value exceeding thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
I’d really like to build a customer base that’s not filled with customers. But rather a group of folks who are looking to better live their lives. I’d prefer to be a mentor without the “guru” stigma. If that makes sense.

November 19th, 2008 at 4:36 am
As Newbies to the Internet Marketing scene, my husband and I want a “brain sync” so that we can learn all that Dan has to teach us! Winning this amazing contest is the perfect way to accomplish the brain sync. I commit to studying and applying EVERY principle taught therein, so I can provide the same level of value that I see in Dan’s lifelong products. In honor of that idea, I have written a little jingle (don’t jingles sell, Dan?):
(12)Prolific product development,
(7) Exceptional sales appeal;
(74) Dan’s lifetime list of homework-
These three ignite my zeal!
I guess I’d choose the reading list
As my choice of all the three
Because reading Dan’s own study guide
Brain syncs Dan’s thoughts to me.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:43 am
My wife and I are working together on a website that provides healthy alternatives to drugs and surgery. Dan’s incredible information products are a great way to learn and apply his expertise to the medical field. Right now, I am studying Dan Kennedy concepts as I try to learn the internet marketing business, keep my practice growing, and create value for my readers and subscribers. Dan Kennedy knows what he’s talking about! I will utilize this material to its fullest extent, first applying my personal favorite, #62 “how to make a fortune giving your info-products away for free. That resonates–
November 19th, 2008 at 4:51 am
I just bought a fabulous domain name and I want to learn how to get a 6-CD course done in a day (#14). Now THAT is a phenomenal training! All of Dan’s material shows that he walks the talk. I want to be mentored by the Mentors’ Mentor–Dan Kennedy.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:30 am
An almost impossible single choice, but mine is #22, Using Public domain materials for free.
From what I read, there is TONS of public domain material, including books, audios, and even free reports written by the government years ago that to this day, contain very valuable, useful and relevent information to many people. I would like to capitalize on that information.

I neeeeeeeeed,wannnnnnt,desperatttttte to win this contest. I am a raising my grandson on a very short shoestring-so short that there is just about a 1/8 of an inch left. Ha! They always say that once you hit bottom there is only one way to go-that is up.
I am a newbie trying very hard. I appreciate all of your 77 reasons because it gives a global view of a successful business.
With the economic being bad this type of business is a perfect way of making lemonade out of lemons. Also, I will be able to help others.too.
I have alot of good ideas,just need a chance.
Angel
November 19th, 2008 at 10:43 am
I am very impresed and I think this is a splendid contest and will definitely buy this pack when this is made possible. i have bought various other packages but it looks like this one without doubt easily surpases them all.
My choice would be the eleventh option: How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income:
As my site is a membership site i would really benifit if my customers stayed a while longer.
Further more if i do have the priveledge of winning this competition, I do have plans to do with them.
thank you very much,

Number 34: Outsourcing
No-one is capable of doing everything by themselves, yet the thought of having to deal with inefficient or lazy employees irks me to say the least. Teach me how to outsourse Dan!
November 19th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Although all the reasons appeal to me, I am having a hard time defining my favorite. It is a draw between #7 (How to create products that have exceptional sales appeal) & #16 (Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week).
Thanks for a great opportunity!
Scott
November 19th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Reason # 11 (How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income}
gets the most interest from me.
Anyone consistently doing this secures their own
financial future, which is of infinite value.
November 19th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Marrying info-products with info-services will be the most vital information for me. I am working on the new form of networking concept here in Finland and this is the piece of the puzzle I am missing right now. Info-products are not the most common thing here, as I feel it is just landing here, so this will be amazing opportunity to set ground to Finland with these marketing startegies as well.
This information will be used in two fronts. One being this unique business networking concept and other spinning off this business concept and being a nonprofit organization using these tools for the well-being of children and adolesants. Thank you for this opportunity to make things take a giant leap over here. For more information, please contact the email I provided.
November 20th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Not sure that i am not thinking big enough, but i realise that i need an idea to make this work so number 15 is the one for me.. now to READ to get ideas.
November 20th, 2008 at 2:22 am
Will “books” be extinct? – Paper-n-ink vs. the Internet. I am a writer, and need to know if / how I need to transform my skills into ebooks/ internet copy etc.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:10 am
Gosh, there are so many great things to choose from here. I want them all! one of the things that stands out for me would be to have a continuity progam in place that guarantees a steady income …. freeing me up to express my creativity and share with the world
Joy
November 20th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Are you joking? Seriously! Pick one? And leave the other 76 reasons second? Not to mention the UNMENTIONED REASONS – (At Least) 77 compelling reasons -!
What one needs is … guidance=presentation+preparation+implementation=FREEDOM!
I’m probably going to be too general about this which ain’t gonna’ win me any rewards but … they ALL tie together and to think that one should take precedence over the other is, in my humble opinion, leaving money on the table!
The only time I want to leave money on the table is after excellent service and good food at a restuarant.
O.K. – O.K. – pick one. Not easy … I need professional help in every area but – the one area I really, really need help in that would benefit my bottom line is …
#50 – How to get free celebrity endorsements.
If I could just get Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood to say that they love my stuff … well … I’d be happier than a pig in you know what!
But, and a BIG BUT this is, in order to get that … one need be good to begin with. I need education from the best (Mr. Kennedy) in all categories!
November 20th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I will pick point (77): How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
I believe each and every points listed are critical to our online success. At this point, I happen to be in the mid of creating an info-product, so point (77) looks most appealing to me. I will certainly like to know how to write that “insurance policy” now to avoid mistake in the future.
November 20th, 2008 at 8:16 am
I have been through all of the 77 reasons and I liked them a lot. I am happy to “specify” the reasons why I most want to learn about certain points from the 77 Reasons in order to boost my income. Here are the points:
4. Finding, hiring and using freelance researchers and writers
5. Finding, hiring and using ghost-writers
10. Command exceptionally high prices and maintain high margins
34. Outsourcing: options, problems, quality control
I am a Premium Web Copywriter myself. I am soon launching a web copywriting business at http://webcopywritersblog.com
I require SPECIALIZED writers to be a part of my team for each service that I offer as the writer would be really great at what he/she does thus passing on that benefit to my clients globally. I require to delegate work according to their expertise so managing the outsourcing part is certainly crucial for any business.
I require only QUALITY writers, copywriters & ghost writers to be part of my team every now and then as I require them every time I have “specific” client requirements which I myself cannot offer.
Therefore, I can even command a great price from my clients since the quality will be “exceptional” and the work will be certainly appreciated.
Moreover, I require writers specializing in “specific niches” who can write original content for articles, ebooks, blogs, website and much much more.
Coming to other points:
The Newsletter Business
23. Why, when and how to profitably use a “free” newsletter
26. How to make “content” for a really good newsletter easy (4 tactics)
I believe every copywriter (MARKETEER), especially myself, must have a newsletter of their own which people can subscribe to in order to master Internet Marketing.
- Setting up a “free” newsletter system right from My own blog.
- Growing MY newsletter lists substantially
- To effectively grow MY business by adding HORDES of premium quality content within this newsletter to assist businesses in fulfilling their own unique needs
- Making a newsletter that people talk a lot about on the internet
All these things are incredibly valuable for me.
36. Rapid Market Research: 5 things to do, to get a more thorough understanding of a target market
Why? Because: Research is the first step of knowing your target market WITH CLARITY. This is very essential.
45. How to test an idea as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Why? Because: Every entrepreneur and business requires to offer something that no one offers and add value where people are not effectively able to do so. But to add value to others, the basic idea must be strong enough to deliver value amazingly. It must sustain a lifetime as well and convert prospects into cash. It must multiply the business over a period of time.
50. How to get FREE Celebrity Endorsements
Why? Because: Celebrity endorsements leverages the business to new heights and proves its credibility which is certainly essential. Every business would require endorsements from such prolific celebrities. And
getting them for FREE would be ABSOLUTELY GREAT.
51. Ten different ways to use Testimonials
Why? Because: testimonials offer perspective from customers. Every customer will ask a question to themselves like “is this really worth it to buy????”
52. Offer Options: how to structure the most appealing Offer
Why? Because: You have to build a business and get people hop on to your bandwagon in no time. For that you require to create an appealing offer that is offered at a great price, is innovative in its approach and offers a great ROI at the end. Its got to outclass every other deal in the market as well and blow the prospects mind – Make him/her the buy.
54. Payment Terms: variety of ways to structure and present payments
Why? Because: The product and service needs to be affordable, this is the prerequisite to sell huge volumes of the product or service and capture a huge piece of the market share.
55. How to write, present and manage Guarantees, to maximize sales
Why? Because: Guarantees make the customer “feel confident” about the product/service and gives them a roof of security. therefore, a customer won’t be hesitant in investing their hard earned money in the
service. “Guarantees are crucial” for every business to scale the volume of sales within a short period of time.
57. How to best utilize marketing technologies incl. tele-conferences,
recorded messages, broadcast Voice Mail, e-mail
Why? Because: Saving time is “extremely” essential for any business
thus using these technologies smartly are essential.
60. 14 Steps to “World Class Expert” status
Why? Because: C’mon, This is the MOST crucial part of any business. I got to be a “World Class Expert” to be an extraordinarily successful in My business. Essential part for me, especially.
75. 7 Million Dollar Lessons About Customer Behavior That I’ve Observed In Horses – just paying attention to this “Big 7″ will save and make you a ton of money
Why? Because: Learning about customers is most essential for any business. Each customer behaves differently so if you include simple, straight and smart lessons to deal with customers within your products could enhance a GREAT VALUE to your products. For me, this is incredibly valuable.
76. Copywriting: as you know, two years ago I conducted a complete seminar exclusively about copywriting – here we will review and examine the critically important keys as they relate specifically to selling info-products and How to get top-drawer direct-response copywriters to work for you for free
Why? Because: This is MOST CRUCIAL to my business. Something that is as concise, straight and simple in a bulleted lists format would be AWESOME, GREAT & FABULOUS. For me, this is incredibly valuable.
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
Why? Because: We’re here to be millionaires and billionaires. We’re here to be successful in every entrepreneurial venture that we start. For me, this is incredibly valuable.
After all, we wish to be on top of the world.
After all, I wish to be on top of the world by meeting the world’s best copywriter “Dan Kennedy” and learning a whole LOT FROM DAN THE MAN HIMSELF.
I spent a great time here and hope that you would be really pleased with my sincere effort. Thanks.
November 20th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
The one that I settled on is Number 11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income.
Tough choices, as all 77 are great, and I know there are more!
However, my reason for choosing the continuity program module is that I know this will be a great key to building a foundation of stable income while working on other key features to my business. These recurring income models are what make the big guns steady as well.
Thanks for the opportunity!

11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
Why? So others may live! I’ll explain why with a story.
Years ago I had the honor of serving this country as a Search & Rescue Swimmer in the US Navy. I only bring that up to point out one of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned in my life. Might just be the MOST VALUABLE LESSON in life, especially as far as securing my family’s future is concerned.
To become a Rescue Swimmer, one of the tests my class HAD to pass was a timed “buddy tow”. Imagine yourself swimming while carrying a person on your back for a distance just shy of nine football fields…NO JOKE! Somehow I got paired up with the human gorilla in the class. Literally he was the biggest guy in the class, probably pushing a good 230lbs. Keep in mind I’m not the most bouyant guy in the world either.
I’m doing my best right, focusing as best I could on getting done on time, every muscle in my body aligned with the goal of achievement. But somewhere between total body pain and water I was taking in from going under and eventually resurfacing a few yards closer to the end, I started to realize something pretty grim. There was no one left from the class other me and the guy I was towing. “How the hell is this possible? This can’t be right! How can I be the last one? I know I’m one of the stronger swimmers in the class! Did I fail? There’s no way I’m gonna pass now.”
All these thoughts came to mind and before I realized it I was looking straight up at about seven feet of water above my head! In the midst of all that doubt, fear, pain and angst I didn’t even realize that I had literally stopped kicking. And with all that weight, I started sinking immediately.
I don’t remember surfacing. What I do remember is that I decided to finish even if I hadn’t made the time because for me I couldn’t live with myself if I quit, even through all the pain. It still seemed like an eternity before I actually finished and to this day I still question if I even made time. The instructors didn’t say. But I did end up becoming a Rescue Swimmer and the rewards have been greater than you can imagine.
In that one moment if I quit, my life would definitely be entirely different because of the chain of events that it sparked. A lot of places, people and things I would’ve missed out on. I wouldn’t have been blessed to meet my wife of 10 years or have two beautiful daughters, a home and numerous successes to share with them. And when it comes down to it, they are who I do this for. And for anybody else with the faith, desire, drive and motivation to effect their families and loved ones in a truly impactful way.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have all the desire in the world and for a while it’s was difficult to pin point how to approach Internet Marketing. But after numerous hours of diligent studying, I’ve decided on continuity programs as my preferred model.
A HIGH VALUE Continuity Program as I envision it and intend to create, actually embodies all the other 76 principles stated in one way or another.
It couldn’t exist successfully without them. And it provides me an opportunity to serve and give people more in use value than they give me in monetary value while maintaining a long term quality relationship with them.
So in choosing #11, I’m choosing them all.
Kinda ironic, the Search & Rescue Swimmer motto is… “SO OTHERS MAY LIVE” How wild is that?
You give a lot of value as always Dan and I hope I end up answering the front door one day soon to the beautifully awkward sight of three huge boxes with legs coming out the bottom of em’!
Love First..Love Last..Be Legendary!

77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
As an aspiring info-marketer i want to dominate the market i enter and add a crazy amount of value to people’s lives.
Knowing the methods to guarantee the success of my info-products would be one of the best lessons i learn because that’ll allow me to invest even more in the quality of my products and get raving fans.
Thank you

ps. That jumbo package of Dan Kennedy products almost made me drool…i’d love to get my hands on that.
November 20th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I would poick reason #6 because it would be fantastic to work with many experts to acquire their knowledge for ultimate success!
November 20th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
All are extremely important, but I would most like to learn about number 11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income. I feel that having a stable monthly cash flow would allow me the freedom to introduce more creativity and diversity in all projects. Also, a continuity program or membership site would increase recognition and relationship between myself and those members. I have been in awe of Dan Kennedy as a marketer since I saw him at a presentation in Houston, many years ago. He was the very last of a long list of celebrity speakers at the end of a day, but well worth the wait.
November 20th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Hi Carl & Dan,
You know, I was immersed in your benefits list for this package and it was almost hard to pick one thing I could *really* use, but then one jumped out from the web page and hit me in the eyes…
40. Legal Hazards specific to info-products
I have been marketing and promoting information products online for over five years now and I have never taken the time to learn of any of the legal hazrds that could greatly affect me in my business.
However, I wanted to. You see, there has never been anyone I knew I could trust to show and teach me this kind of information. I never trusted the lawyers because they either hired a great copywriter and made everything they offered sound good, and I never listened to anyone else because they were too young to have a good history of wisdom and case studies to share.
However, Dan has been on both side of the fence at the same time. He not only can teach it from a legal side of things, but he actually does it because he really sells info products. And has been successful for a long time. I’m sure being that successful comes with some sort of legal troubles in his time (no matter how great you are…someone may try to attack you…or maybe he made the mistakes).
Either way, I really NEED this info. And I won’t just let it sit there, I will use it. I swear on my own grave as well as my mother’s that I WILL use that info. I never let anything sit on the shelf and I never buy info I can’t use. I can use this tremendously.
I can utilize a lot of the other info as well, but this is what I need for RIGHT NOW.
Sincerely,
Anthony Smith

Delivery of info-content to customers via the Internet
I am just trying to learn how to deliver info products via the Internet. I spent over 25 years in writing, PR, advertising, and international journalism and have plenty of ideas to make tons of info products. But I get stumped on how to make a website, install auto responder, install a squeeze page, sales page, and payment page. Just about everything on how to deliver all the info products I have written to my prospective markets.
November 21st, 2008 at 1:53 am

69. In the past 3 years, Platinum Inner Circle Members, all info-product marketers, have paid over $200,000.00 in fees to attend their meetings, to share “what works”, and combined, these Members have sold well over 50-Million Dollars of info-products during that time period. Without violating specific confidences, many of the discoveries made, “guinea-pig’d” and shared by these marketers are shared on these CD’s and DVD’s.
My personal bias is to learn from and model the best-of-the best and duplicate success. Having spend a number of years in the direct response industry, where marketing success is monitored and successful programs are repeated, constantly tested and duplicated I love it when people who have been there and done that share what works for them.
I’ve purchased products from and subscribed to Dan’s newsletter in the past and know what he delivers is top-drawer all around. I look forward to the 24th and seeing this program take the net by storm.
November 21st, 2008 at 11:35 am
After careful consideration, #9 If planning to develop your own product you need to have one that others want to sell to maximize your profit. Unless you know the rest of this list you also need the insight of #2, 20, you need 21, 6, 12 let us not forget #1 in Product Development Category.
Wait there’s more; I have seen how the Newsletter Business is an important part of the info marketing biz, so I would pick # 26, 24 and 25 in this category.
And you can’t have a Financial Success Strategy with out #41 and a smattering of #36, 35, this is also important 41, 33, 40, 44 and 34.
But, wait we have more, in the Advertising & Marketing Category; you should start with #50. In true form I can’t stop with #50 because you need #48, 52, 55, and 60, with a dash of #56, 51, and 62.
On the Radio / TV Category you need #66 + 65 plus a little 68 added for good measure.
Trade Secrets Category, you should start with #77, but we should add 75 sprinkle a little 71, with a pinch of 72, 74, 75, and add some #69/70 for good measure.
As you should see from this list, your list of 77 reasons should be 77 Necessary components of Information Marketing, but Wait there is More!

26. How to make “content” for a really good newsletter easy.
I am just getting started in my internet marketing business. I find that most of the product I have purchased for myself was through an endorsement or promotion in one of the many newsletters I read each week. Issuing newsletter with reliably good content keeps people reading each week and builds trust among the readers. I believe the better the free content, the more likely a reader will purchase premium content.

Hi Dan
As I am a complete newbie, this would be a huge dream to win.
For me the copy writing courses and such would be very, very special. I actually have a few websites to set up, but the thought of writing ads is scaring the pant’s off me. I am quite frozen at the moment. So, to win this complete package would I am sure put me on the road to what I would love the most. To have a highly profitable marketing career, as i am soon able to retire. Thanks Pam

70. The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life”, each with value exceeding thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
It’s all about creating Raving Fans. Providing value to others while making money in the process.
November 21st, 2008 at 11:17 pm
All very important, to me the one I’d most be interested in at this point is #34 “Outsourcing.” After reading the Four Hour Work Week and realizing I don’t want to spend all my time and my entire life working, I’d rather outsource things and generate passive income and actually have time to focus on and do the things that I love. The most successful people that I know never end up having MORE TIME as they become more and more successful. I don’t want to fall into that trap.
November 22nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
Copywriting #76 is what I am focusing on right now to be the best that I can be. I know that Dan is one of the best in the business. If I can sink my teeth into his material that goal is achievable. The rest of the goodies would be icing on the cake.
November 22nd, 2008 at 6:17 pm
After reading the 77 strategies to becoming an internet success and then viewing so many excellent comments and some that are merely tokens , I can honestly write that what would make me successful would be free continuous relevant content on one of my blogs attached to my upcoming website , creating traffic AND continuity in sign-ups and sales.
November 22nd, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I think that #11 How to create a continuity program is most important. I would like to have a regular, predictable, sustainable income. This, to me is more important than having one large influx of income and then nothing else for months. This would also allow me to have customers for life which is cheaper in the long run than always having to market and prove myself to new people. This program sounds like the ideal learning situation.
November 22nd, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Outsourcing. I have lots of ideas of info products I can’t do it by myself because of time constrain. I do believe that by outsourcing I can transform my ideas into real info products.
Since outsourcing is dealing with other parties, I need to know more about it so that I can optimize my results while effectively reduce both cost and risk involved.
November 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
I have struggled with creating continuity programs that attract members, provide sustainable value and aren’t so much work that all my hair starts to fall out! I haven’t had much luck — I get kudos on what I’ve pulled together, but then no one joins.
Also, having a stable monthly income would provide me with the peace of mind I need to be truly creative and provide even more value to my clients, which is really what I want to do.
November 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
71. Why, when and how to compete with yourself in a given market
I know that once you are established and relativly successful in a market, competing with yourself can be a good tactice to use. But that’s the extent of my knowledge in regarding this tactic. How would I create a seperate product line to compete with myself without competing too much, or better yet competing just enough to push the other competitors out of the way.
November 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
31. How to get paid for access to your customers: exploiting the Toll Booth Position
I already know a bit about this subject. I read Dan Kennedy’s How To Make Millions with Your Ideas. Joe Cossman also talked about the importance of getting exclusive rights to a product and having your own proprietary product.
However, I believe we could profit immensely by learning more about this subject.
November 22nd, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I would choose the following. glad it wasn’t pick only one, that would be tough!
62. How to make a fortune giving your info-products away for free.
and
66. How to use “talk radio” to test……to market
I’ve tried out blogtalkradio some and could use more direction on that for sure.
and
67. How to sell a million dollars of info-products a year doing interviews at home, sitting on your patio
this one sounds like a lot of fun.
This one also would be great to have a handle on”
43. How to use an info-products biz to make any vacation anywhere tax-deductible
November 22nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Definitely No 7. I’m tired of selling other people’s products. Besides, haveing create my own products will instantly create credibility and expert status. In the long run, if i’m known in the industry as the expert, i can command higher prices, get into JV easily and have even create my own membership sites. The rest of the problems can be solved by outsourcing to other experts.
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Lots of incredible ideas make it hard to choose, but I decided to start at the beginning and go with #1: How to “build in” content and mechanisms in one product that automatically sells another…
I chose this one because it sounds like it gives you the strategy necessary to keep an Internet Marketing business going – it’s great to choose your niche, study the market to find out what their biggest problems or concerns are, create or find a strong solution, (affiliate products), and then do the steps necessary to build a list and market to your list. But if you don’t have the “strategy” in place that lets you sell another product – you’re always going after new customers, rather than selling other – and progressively expensive products – to the same customers -you’re going to be a one-hit wonder, and that’s not a good business model, and eventually – you’re going to fail.
November 23rd, 2008 at 2:32 am
I chose finding, hiring and using freelance researchers and writers. I chose this question because I don’t like researching and need to outsource that aspect of it. Since I need help with being able to research why not outsource it.
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:07 am
No. 16 – Rapid Research
I am a full-time HR pro and part-time freelance writing.
Writing and the business part of Info Product Publishing is not a problem but research is as it’s time-consuming – I could be creating a number of info products in the time it takes to research one topic.
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:01 am
Wow, I find it hard to pick just one, but if I have to pick it would be how to find and use public domain material. I have seen so many people publish information from this source and I sit thinking where they heck did they get that and why can’t I do that. I want to create info products that tie into what I do at my job so I can get out of it and build from there.
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:53 am
Reading through all the reasons, I feel the last one (Reason 77)… a GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable and having an “insurance policy” against failure beats all the others.
This would certainly take my business to the next level if had such an insurance policy. I don’t mind making some mistakes but keeping them down to a minimum would sure help… so that I don’t waste my time.
I’m also interested in (reason 1 and 76) copywriting and systemization of my business so that one product sells the next and so on… getting things somewhat automated, to free up myself so I’m not doing so much myself would get the ball rolling…
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:57 am
Hello,
In answer to your question, I would like to learn about the Advertising and Marketing Package. I am currently in the process of starting a company that will be mainly centered around marketing and advertising.
I would love to learn more from experts like yourself in this ever changing field. I feel that I could gain a very valuable source of information in your products.
Of course however, I would love to have the whole package and I am sure that I would be able to put all of your information, teaching, and knowledge to great use.
I am a single father and veteran of the United States Army, I am desperately trying to start my business. I want to create a legacy for my daughters to follow.
I have been at a disadvantage in my life for a long time now. I have never had enough money to buy the awesome programs like yours. I am intelligent and determined enough though to make things happen in my life with the right tools and that is what you are offering.
It is my dream to be successful in life, I have wanted it for as long as I can remember. With out the proper education and not enough knowledge, I am not as successful as I should be. I honestly believe that if I was to win the entire package, I would read every single word on every single page and in every single program until I have all the knowledge that I need to start a successful business.
I know that I am worth something and I know that I can change my future. I just need the right tools and education to do so.
Thank you and God Bless,
Clifton Shepherd
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:02 am
I choose #1. How to “build in” content and mechanisms in one product that automatically sells another.
I just started to develop my info business, and study The Phenomenon. I need more materials! So, I have found a part im Anrew Parabellum’ mastergroup. Having implementing now I have leant, I need more info to continue and grow.
With best regards,
Alexander
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:22 am
My response to “How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income.” Number 11.
In my search over a 3 yr. span to develop a stable monthly income I have tried various approaches – MLM’s & Affiliate Marketing via numerous programs – none with much success.
Question #11 sums it up for me! I know there are many marketing strategies one can employ to develop a stable monthly income, but I have not found one that works for me.
Maybe you have the answer for novice marketers like me.
If so, I would be eternally grateful.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:47 am
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
I am in the process of developing a Video Marketing Traing Membership Site but i am new to this whole concept, i am intrigued with the whole continuity concept and need a better understanding of it in order to apply it to my future site, my number two question you presented would be ghostwriters, mainly for salespage.
Thanks, Rick Mosca
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:17 am
I chose 6, 11 and 70, and decided to go with 70 – “The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life.” Implied in this one (and many others) is the solid relationship developed between my customers and me. So I must have done a lot of the other 76 right!
It seems that with this type of relationship, new products would evolve from the ongoing conversation with my ‘for life’ customers that perfectly matched their needs, that a continuity program would be an easy fit, and that this relationship would definitely be a win-win for all.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest!
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:36 am
I’ve selected #11–how to build and maintain a paid continuity program–ie a membership site or membership course. I am 60 and want the stable income flowing in month after month after month.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:46 am
After making a long list, really hard to make a few picks. There are so many good ones. So I choose The following;
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
(If You knew how to do this one really well than you could and would have a monthly income for life. That is what I am looking for).
35. Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses: how my clients have shot themselves in the foot.
(I also choose this one because if you knew what others have done an failed at, then you would not have to make the same mistakes. Because, you are basically going down the same general path).
Actually, they were all great, it was really hard to choose which one or ones to go with.
Thank You for your time.

November 23rd, 2008 at 9:50 am
How can I choose between all of these great things! I love the inner circle CD’s, but I would choose #7, creating a product with great sales appeal. I want something so great, money is not a consideration. I would love and cherish all the products and probably shut myself away to learn, then since I am a “doer” I would put it in action!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:07 am
Hi Dan,
What a great list it has to be all of them but if you really want just one it would be no 77 because as a relative newbie I would like the virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable.
Thanks for the chance
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:53 am
6. Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty)
This is my most critical question for good reason. I’m trying to MAKE money on the web not SPEND it. But, I think more importantly I would gain personal knowledge that is priceless in the bargain. That is something that will never be lost, stolen, or misplaced and can then be given endlessly in return.
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
#77 7 Million Dollar Secrets…
I figure you can save me alot of PAIN with the answers to this one! Is one of them you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink? I’ll be interested to see all of these laid out!
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:08 pm
#75 7 Million Dollar Secrets…
I figure you can save me alot of PAIN with the answers to this one! Is one of them you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink? I’ll be interested to see all of these laid out!
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Well if anyone ask me which of the reasons why I would want to learn from, obviously isn’t it almost impossible to choose?
After all in the first place, even being taught by pro of pros and guru of gurus is already priceless in business, especially so in Information business and marketing. And not to mention in any kind of business, its operation, finance, marketing and advertising are what makes a business successful right?
So instead, I would say all those 77 reason is what I’m interested to learn in the offer AND ESPECIALLY for the reasons numbered 32 to 63. This is because I planned to run a membership sites with affiliates marketing and virtual store. Thus, from customer service, research, outsourcing, info-biz niche up to all those marketing and advertising techniques are what I would need to learn to make myself successful in the industry.
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I would choose number 16-Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week. My biggest problem with product development is the long time it takes me to put something together. I really want to learn to knock out products much faster and easier.
November 23rd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Hello Dan, 3. Acquiring product or product content from others, To me it seems like every marketer out there is offering each others products, I purchased a website & product for $497.00 from one marketer and a couple of months down the road I find out I could have gotten everything free even the website, To me it sounds like most of these so called marketers only want your cash, I saw your name in my email everyone knows the name Dan Kennedy, I checked out the email and I already joined your Affilate Program. All I can say is Thank You for this Fantastic Opportunity.
November 23rd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
No. 22. Using public domain material is probably one of the most lucrative ways to create your own product. My biggest question is where to find public domain material. I have scoured the web but can’t find a 1-stop resource. If I could find out where to find and how to use public domain material I would be able to set-up my own product business within a day! Not even to mention the instant credibility through association (e.g. the author).
November 23rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I cast my vote for #28. Experts predict the decline of the US (you’re surprised?) and it makes sense that the trade mantle will fall on China. However, they are notorious for their pirated goods. I need to know what steps to take NOW to protect my products and profits.
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I would like to know about this one:
35. Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses: how my clients have shot themselves in the foot
I’m in the process of setting up an ebook site and would love to know what NOT to do!
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:13 pm

November 23rd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I vote for #1: How to “build in” content and mechanisms in one product that automatically sells another. I believe that this one idea would at least triple boost my sales with little effort on my part and yet gain the maximum exposure to even more sales. Thanks.
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I think that since I already have an online e-book store the best and cheapest way to market it would do me the most good. I have already shot myself in the foot several times as I am a beginner.To be frank, what I paid for the site, and what I have done to market it has not paid off so far.I have learned that there are more e-book stores online than you can shake a stick at. So for me to be successful I have to create my own market within this market because I know there is plenty of money to go around.
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:39 pm
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income. This seems like a great business model but my concern is with the “sustain” part–how to ensure super content to ensure continued purchasing and increased customer lifetime value.
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:45 pm
7. How to create products that have exceptional sales appeal
i have created some products in the past and they all fell short in many areas i know dan’s reputation and he has the best quality information and training on this subject
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
41. Long-Term Vision: how to create Wealth via info-products
and
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
Firstly, it is important and useful information to learn because in order to create Wealth via info-products you got to have Long-term Vision ;
and secondly, having a stable Continuity Programs with monthly income cash flow would provide me with a piece of mind and allow me to provide more services to royal clients.
Thanks

November 23rd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
As a newbie I need all of these wonderful things. I choose #77 Guarantee as I have already spent so much money on half baked, incomplete and in a lot of cases regurgitated out of date information. This certainly seems like the answer to all internet marketers dreams. I am also intrigued with Public Domain opportunities but again everything I have investigated has been missing a lot of vital information, particularly from an international perspective.
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I think that business operations and financial success strategies would be the one area that would make the most sense for me. Specifically market research, and how to work with the hyper-responsive customer.
However, the rest of the product line is also very appealing. To anyone, not just an information entrepreneur.
Good luck to us all
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Hello my name is Chad and I want to learn all 77 steps because I am fairly new to this. I don’t have the knowledge needed to succeed yet but I will. I have the drive, the desire, and the reason to succeed. Now I just need to put it all together and get it done. I will succeed. Maybe you could help me and I will be your next success story. Thanks for reading this and the opportunity.
Your Friend
Chad
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:25 pm
you did an awesome job keep it up guys okay and i liked the movies you put out there for me to watched okay thank you and i hope everything goes well for you Dan to okay have a nice night okay.
Thank You,
Amy
November 23rd, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I believe that reason 7, How to create products that have exceptional sales appeal, would be the most beneficial to my long term success in Info Marketing as I would rather be selling my own products (as opposed to selling others). Also, if you create products that people want, others will also want to sell your product as well.
Cheers,
John
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I will have to go with “Info Product Development”. This covers a big field and is a financial gold mine if done properly.
You did a great job putting this together Dan.
Have a Great Day

We recently had to close our family business due to lack of sales and now we are down to one income. I believe the best answer for me would be number 11, being able to sustain a continuity program to lock in stable and continuous income so we would be able to relax and not have to struggle and I could focus on being a stay at home mom and all our bills would be paid and the worrying and living pay check to paycheck would stop.
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:54 pm
So hard to choose, I would want to learn about most if not all 77 topics – but as I have to pick one, it would be #60 – 14 Steps to “World Class Expert” status. As I am in the midst of developing a product to launch into an area that is not really crowded, I would like to enter it & become an expert in that area. Thanks for the opportunity.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:41 pm
I would want to learn:
How to test an idea as quickly and cheaply as possible.
I think having the right product for the right niche is the most important part of making a living with info products. I need to learn how to quickly find out if a product is the right one or I need to learn how to find the right product. Testing ideas cheaply and quickly would go a long way towards making my business successful.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Definitely question #77 because it covers the basics for any profit activity…a product that is success that is sells & sells and brands itself and the owner company and is also highly profitable to create untold riches.
So if there is such an “insurance policy” that guarantees this success for any info-product marketing I want it now and without haste.
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
I have been working way too hard in my business, and am ready to go with “14 Steps to Being the World Class Expert”, that seems the most all encompassing of the 77 choices, and I want it All.
Every where I see those most successful either online or offline, they have roots working with Dan Kennedy. I do have several resources – books, cds, dvds -
of yours, and am at the point in my career where a quantum leap is the only logical desire.
I would lug and hug those boxes and use the information within to generate enough cash flow to afford joining your Elite group and learning and making my contribution!
I love you guys- Connie

the 5 secrets of having customers for life and getting tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
For me, the one must important question, at least at this time, is N° 6: “6. Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty)”.
This is a very important matter, since I think that with this information, then creating and developing new products will be very easy. Not only that, but they will be very VALUABLE products. One cannot be a Dan Kennedy, who whatever he says will be bought by the boatloads by a great number of followers.
So, with this information, I could then access the know-how of masters who, contributing to my products, will make them very desirable. And, not only to the information-marketing niche, but to every niche. Knowing how to access experts, then it will be a matter of just repeating the formula in every niche I want to enter.
By the way, will this knowledge allow me to have Dan Kennedy as one of the experts contributing for free–and, especially, without royalties? That’s something I really want to learn!
Cordially,

Number 6
When you are a newbie just starting out, finding people that have already made the mistakes and the key word is “survived” thru the storm can help you on your way the right direction is better than sliced bread. I have already learned the mistakes in business cost money which can stop you cold in your tracks or can take years longer to find the real deal with marketing. Information is key and being able to get info from experienced marketers that really know their oats can make an extreme difference in peoples lives in today’s world.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
I would want to learn #77 how to make sure my product will be successful (guarantee) and profitable. I would love to be able to write myself an insurance policy against loss or failure. My job is winding down and ending in a couple months. The insurance policy sounds pretty good when you are looking at being here full time and needing a steady, reliable income.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:53 pm
75.7 Million Dollar Lessons About Customer Behavior..
This is the idea that I would choose to learn about.
I believe that “Customer Behavior” is the basis to
running my online business with the least amount of
risk and the greatest amount of success.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:29 pm
77’s got my vote. “How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure”.
It seems to encapsulate all that is mentioned before and offers me a sense of having all my i’s dotted and my t’s crossed. A sense of comfort that I’ve put it all together and its ready to ride a wave of success on the web. Thanks
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:41 pm
An easier question would be which would I least want to learn about, since I want to know about all of them. In picking only one, I would have to say #77. Anything that can give you a GUARANTEED success, is either bogus or it is worth learning. And you don’t know which it is until you learn it.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:05 am
I chose:
17. How to set product prices (for maximum profit)
This question is an important issue because a person could develop a fantastic product, write a great sales letter and have a great auto responder series, but in the end, sell himself short with the wrong price and leave a ton of money on the table.
As I’m currently in the product development and copy writing phases, I’d certainly like to be able to avoid this dilemma once I get to the point where I’m ready to decide on price.
Thanks for this opportunity!

November 24th, 2008 at 12:19 am
I picked #77 because it was general enough to encompass my number one problem with internet marketing — the lack of service. The problems that people cause me that waste my extremely limited productive (ELP) money, time and energy (MTE). I have tried to start my business for almost two years, but have run into so many negative people and problems that I have not been able to even decide on a business focus until this month and I still can’t get started.
I think many people are thwarted by the problems they run into, which explains the high rate of business failures online and offline, the high rate of affiliate businesses that fail to profit — and the articles I’ve read about people running from one internet marketer to another, to another, etc. because they can’t find people, products and services, or companies that they can rely upon to not cost too many problems.
If I had to choose a topic for 2009 and beyond — it would be How to Turn Bad Business Experiences into Big Bucks, by using those situations to create all sorts of synergistic connections in my business, which is what I’m trying to do.

November 24th, 2008 at 2:52 am
I could use all of them, but I think I will pick number 70. Getting a customer is one thing, but being able to keep that customer for sale after sale is even more important. That customer would be a happy customer who would tell others about your products, so in turn, your customers would multiply.
November 24th, 2008 at 5:52 am
I picked # 34 Outsourcing: You must be able to leverage your time to create more income… after all you can not be an expert at everything. You must learn to use your time effectively!
November 24th, 2008 at 6:20 am
If there was only 1 I could choose, I would choose:
—————————————————
#11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
I’ve been working in Internet Marketing/Sales since 1997, all of this time, I’m constantly dreaming up new promotional offers to keep the money flowing – I’m in the process of developing a continuity/membership program right now – this is something I NEED NOW – my wife is due on Dec. 13th, 2008 with our first baby – so having a steady and secure income instead of having to come up with new promotions every week will ‘really’ change my life and be the most importat of the 77 steps…
My Runner up: 74. A Lifetime Of Homework: my personal daily/weekly/monthly reading list….what every info-marketer must read
I figure if I read everything Dan Kennedy reads I would be assured success!
-Brett Simpson
November 24th, 2008 at 7:23 am
I want #6, just to start with. Everyone needs an expert to tutor and guide them, this to me is extremely important. However, the other important factor to being successful is to make your Plan for the next 365 days and plan each day – set your goals. I couldn’t find that anywhere in the list (Robert -comment 169 touches on the subject) but I have to admit that the following numbers were also important, in this order: 23, 62, 45 and 11. Giving away free products will build your opt-ins fast, then they can be leveraged on by selling a product/subscription. Helping other people freely is a fantastic way to keep your customers loyal. It’s got to be said though that the main aim for all of us is to creat an income which is profitable, regular and keeps increasing, so….
Why would I love to win this unbelievable package? because although I’m relatively new at all this my ultimate goal for 2009 is to have earned a minimum of £100,000 by December 20th 2009 so that I can buy some great gifts for my wife and family. This package would help me to easily achieve that goal and way beyond it.

As always, Dan produces great content – even when the content is for marketing and research.
16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
I believe this is a huge gap in my knowledge. Knowing how to put the information product together is the initial challenge. Then…
8. How to create products that have a “sales story”
ties up the product as a sell-able package. Together these two reasons why are what I need next on my journey to INFO RICHES.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:08 am
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
I picked this item since I deal with info-products and services in my business and have been looking for ways in a struggling economy to continue to provide the services and information that so many need.

I too – as a newbie – am choosing #34 Outsourcing. I do have two good online business ideas, but my technical knowledge is not good enough in some subjects. Thus I have concentrate developing the ideas and leaving some of the more technical work to people being experts in these areas.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty).
I believe that by sharing each others knowledge everybody wins. The customer wins as you’re able to offer a variety of topics and solutions (you could not offer on your own) to support a wider audience with different needs. It is also a great way to leverage knowledge, time, money and effort. So a win-win for all involved. This way of sharing also create long term relationships and open further opportunities for Join Ventures, lead generation,…
November 24th, 2008 at 8:18 am
My Choice is #6: Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty.
An expert is needed to Tutor and Guide you with as much information as possible. If you don’t have an Expert Tutor it could take litterally years to get to the top.
I have to admit though that I could learn from and use all of choices given, but I would follow #6 with something I didn’t see mentioned but is very important if anyone wants to be successfull in this business. – Planing and Goal Setting. Setting out your plan for the next 365 days and also your goals during that period, are extremely important in running and succeeding in this business. Plan it right down to what what you need to do each day and don’t forget to set some goals throughout the year. When this is done there should be no reason for failure.
Maybe I shouldn’t say this, because my choice has been made (#6) but if I were to be honest, appart from the fact I’d like everything in the list, I’d choose these next, in this order: #23 – #62 – #45 – #11. Why? because giving away free items will attract one hell of a lot of opt-ins, especially with the way the economy is going throughout the world. People want information and money. There are going to be a lot more joining that bandwagon and I for one am going to make sure I’m at the forfront of of the Wagon Train.
To win Danny’s unbelievable prize with all that information would ensure my possition at the top. I’d be amoungst the high flyers of the internet world. This would be the final goal by December 31st 2009. 2010 will be far far better.
Just so you’re all aware, I’ve not been doing this very long so nobody really knows me yet, but remember my name because by the end of 2009 it’s going to be well known – garaunteed!
Take care all, and “Go for it. Make 2009 a great year”

14. How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product:
I broke 3 bones in my dominant hand wrist and have been on disability from my office admin job. I have so many ideas from having nothing to do but sit and brainstorm/daydream for 8 weeks, but don’t have a real idea of how to package and sell my ideas. I’m hoping this product will help.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I chose reason #41: How to create wealth via info products. I have been coaching executives for 17 years in a consulting firm and want to share what I’ve learned via the internet. I need a strategic plan and level of understanding that will help me make smart decisions from the beginning. I do not even have a website–nothing to undo. I have a chance to get it right fromt he start! Your information would be an INCREDIBLE gift!!!! Pick me!! Pick me!!! Thank you, Marie Golden in Nashville, Tennessee.

# 14 How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product
Boy I need this… I have a lot of content but need some guidance!
November 24th, 2008 at 8:41 am
“Command exceptionally high prices and maintain high margins” is of special interest to me – I am growing and raising my prices, but not fast enough to get rid of all of the “side jobs” to keep afloat; hence, exhaustion and lack of time to develop great new stuff occurs. Help!
November 24th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Very difficult choice! But, i choosed #36. Rapid Market Research: 5 things to do, to get a more thorough understanding of a target market.
Because I think that business begins from marketing! I want to undersand it better.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:14 am
36. A discussion of the Publish-On-Demand approach to the business would be most useful for me as I intend to write a book with an intended audience of less that 10,000.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:23 am
My choice is # 14 How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product.
I have ideas and content. However, I’m stuck and have yet to complete one product to market. Plus I would like to move from selling other people’s products to selling my own.

November 24th, 2008 at 9:41 am
It was hard to narrow down to one, but I chose #77: How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. I think this one would cover a lot of the other topics. I am just starting out and haven’t even picked my product, so to have a guarantee would be great.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I need to create an exceptionally high priced membership website to generate the funds needed to build a patent pending flying car; using freelance researchers and writers to come up with monthly content; make sure this website and the vehicle have exceptional sales appeal; and I could use help in developing a 6CD course in one day to have as part of my sales items (I already have two science-fiction novels)[I have people who can build it - for their price] So I need help in developing means to change the world much like Henry Ford did at the turn of the last century. Thus, I need a multiple mix of items shown in the list of 77.

62. How to make a fortune giving your info-products away for free.
I try and try to sell info products and haven’t maid one sale
November 24th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Gosh – it is so hard to pick just one (or even a few) topics from this list because I could use every single one of them in some way, shape or form. But right now, my energies are more focused on info-product development; expanding my newsletter content and making it profitable; and creating multiple income sources.
I am most fascinated, however, with strategies that will enable me to create a profitable newsletter. With a background in journalism and communications, I’d love to put my “already-existing” talents to work on something that is not only creative, but financially rewarding. So with this being said, I will choose numbers 23, 24, 25 and 26.
Thank you for this opportunity to “prioritize” my business needs. This was a helpful exercise!

Reason #22. How to get and use Public Domain material free
It will take a very smart guy to make money using leverage ideas available for free from the public domain and convert them into CASH… i want to be able to identify on such free info & capitalize… to build a successful business with zero $$ spent on advertisment… free PR ideas… since I am in India, I wan to be able to apply these ideas to any market, US, India, UK, etc… i want to use free PR info/skills to promote products anywhere in the world.

You are a gift from heaven. I’m so new at this that I am embarrased. As an mature and now divorced person with survival problems ,I found internet marketing fits my natural capabilities of being very verbally gifted and ( by test )persuasive. The only problem has been my lack of know-how.Now HERE YOU ARE. Tomorrow looks brighter than I had hoped. Thank you. Margo
November 24th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

I selected #77: How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable.
In some cases in my business, we have spent serious cash putting together products that don’t meet our projected sales.
#77 couple with #34 on Outsourcing would be the ideal answers for me since have a profitable and systemized operation would free me up to further create and establish the partnerships we need to grow.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I am serious about getting into internet marketing as a full time business so #41 seems like a logical place to seek the help I need. All the other reasons fall into this as ways to accomplish what is a very big commitment. I will probably use most if not all of them sooner or later.I love this opportunity.

70. The 5 secrets of creating “Customers For Life”, each with value exceeding thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
This is critical!
Can you say “loyalty and continuity”?
I knew you could!
November 24th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income.
If I was able to setup a continuity site for all of the products, software, ebooks, etc. that I have bought over the last 3 years, I would be a millionaire overnight. I have over 10 Gb of products available. Even if I charged $97 a month for access, I am certain I could attact at least 1,000 members very quickly.

November 24th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I think the choice here is obvious: #77 – How to GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable.
The key word here is GUARANTEE. If you can guarantee success and profits, then that’s a no-brainer.
BTW, this is a great contest! Thanks for putting it on and I am looking forward to hearing more. I’m a big fan of Dan Kennedy… he’s already had a major impact on my business and my own personal success. I will stay informed!
Cheers,
Steve McNeil
November 24th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Thanks Rob, Dan Kennedy, and whoever else is involved in this awesome project!!! As for the Contest, Theres lots to choose from but Id have to say #6. The one that’d benefit me the most is:
6. Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty)
Finding THE BEST out there who can willingly and cheerfully contribute to my products is HUGE!! This helps me in 1) Learning from THE BEST… so I can avoid their mistakes, get proper mentoring, coaching and guidance to where I want to be (get there alot faster). Think about it.. if the expert was Dan Kennedy who would willingly and cheerfully contribute to my info-products, how much more profitable would I be?? How much more success would I have?? It could be any top expert (info marketer, or could be based on whatever my product is on). and 2) Endorsements, if I can get experts or celebrities or high status individuals to endorse my products or services, then that will add to the value as well.
But anyway… my point is: why reinvent the wheel?? If people have already been there before and achieved the success or results I want, then the fastest, easiest and most profitable way for me to get there is to model the best and learn from the top experts (who have been there before).
Thanks again to everybody!! Im excited
November 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Seems to me that creating a product with credibility and
believability requires awesome imagination in order to nourish, fulfill and satisfy the demanding customer
enough to make an immediate purchase.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Lots to choose from. All of them are important and would benefit me, but if I had to choose one, I’d pick:
11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
They say it’s a lot easier to make money from an existing customer then in prospecting and finding new customers. I’d prefer to lock people in for a consistent, continual, stable basis and generate passive income and more importantly, a secure income over a period of time.
November 24th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
I have been into internet marketing for about two years and have spent a total of ten years marketing telecommunications. There seems to be one major thing I have over looked: Dan Kennedy
Over the past year I have read a few of his publications and have learned much about this business. My only wish is that I would have tapped Dan’s knowledge year ago.
Reason #16 is the one stands out to me.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
#41, long term vision; how to create wealth via info products. Yep, looonnngggg term. Not get rich quick, create wealth smartly, steadily, over the long term. Set a good, solid foundation, then when that’s in place, the sky’s the limit. Well, actually, the only limits are the ones that we place on ourselves, so there really are none! Thank you Mr. Kennedy for all the info you share with the world, and good luck everyone!
November 24th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I’m choosing number 9. How to create products that others will want to sell.
I chose it because I feel real continued success with an information product can only be obtained with the help of others. Whether it is people wanting to be affiliates of your product or marketers like you that see potential in doing a joint venture with a product developer.
I want to use as an example your “Free Dan Kennedy package” http://www.freegiftfrom.com/dankennedy/ I believe it quadrupled the paid membership to your No B.S. newsletter? That is a great example of choosing a product that others will want to sell, there probably was womething in it for them but your bottomline was increased by giving the people around you something they were proud to offer to their clients and prospects.
November 24th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I would like to know more about researching and creating a product quickly and building in those elements which will give me a loyal and eager client base eager for more. Ideally, those who become my clients will be happy and eager to open each of my emails and flocking to buy my next offering because they see me as one who creates info products that are special and valuable, not to be missed, if you will. I am attempting to do a bit of this with my first foray into the info products online sales world with jemyl.net. I know that both my free report and thank you offer are good products, and useful ones. I am about to use my safe list exchange credits to attempt to drive some traffic to my site and I am hoping that my rather hokey sounding, when put against the slick guru presentations, but honest invitation page and emails will be different enough and have wide enough appeal as a small town grey-haired grandma techno-crat to get people to want to see more. I don’t mind being a curiosity if it gets folk to check out and then buy the products I recommend or create. Learning how to create good products quickly and how to keep people interested and eager to buy them is vital to me now. My place has a big garage, big enough to house a fire truck or a motor home with room to spare. It needs a new roof within the next 90 days or I stand to loose my home insurance and, therefore my home when my mortgage lender calls the whole loan as there is only one home insurance company that will insure my place due to its age. My home is all I’ve got. Therefore it’s crunch time to make some money on the Internet since I live in one of the poorest rural counties in Florida. Also, I and am just beginning physical therapy after recent rotator cuff surgery so cannot work the fair and bazaar circuits selling old books and stuff or new jewelry. What that means is if being down and almost out is a pre-requisite for Internet success marketing info products, then I am definitely there.

16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
# Since I’m still new to the internet marketing and business, I beleived that being able to create new product from the resources around us fast is very important.
November 25th, 2008 at 12:47 am
I am new to Internet Marketing and after reading through all 77 items, I find it would do this magnificent educational and informative package an injustice to select only one, so I listed three that jumped out at me!
#30- Marrying info products with info services would be a huge benefit to my learning; also
#57- How to best utilise marketing technology would give me better understanding to use correctly; and lastly,
#70- The Secrets of creating “customers for life” this is a must to learn because you have nothing if you don’t customers for life.
Hoping I win this unbelievable package and good luck to all!

November 25th, 2008 at 2:51 am
Since 7 is my lucky number, 77 must be doubly lucky, or should that be eleven times luckier? Anyway, as all the tips are so useful and valid how could I possibly choose?
The art of copywriting is so important to learn. Yes, you can outsource, but if you don’t retain continuity in all your work, people will see through it.
I remember watching a famous celebrity being quizzed on tv about a book he had supposedly written. He was unable to answer most of the questions and it did little for his reputation as an “expert”.
If you want to be seen as the author of a product,or an expert in a subject you need to know at least a bit about what you’re supposedly an expert in. The best way to reinforce learning is to write it down. If you can do it in a way others can understand, regardless of their level of education, it’s a win-win situation.
Good copywriting is definitely the way to go and who better to learn it from than Dan Kennedy?
November 25th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Looks to me like #77 is very good – guarantee for a product to work.
Key word must be GUARANTEE. If it is in that way, it must work.
Stay in touch
November 25th, 2008 at 6:17 am
Wow! So many great choices…but I can only select one!
While I’d love to learn more about all 77 ideas, I was particularly ’struck’ by # 14: “From Idea to Finished Product: Creating a 6 CD Course in One Day!” First, in the seeming ‘incredulousness’ of the notion, it’s possible, for Dan Kennedy and others have proven that this is the case! Second, with the advent of mind-blowing technological advances, the equipment and resources are definitely available to accomplish such a feat! Third, being able to create products so rapidly would not only be a ‘boon’ to my self-esteem/confidence, but I’d be able to quickly create quality products that will enhance the lives of others! Fourth, we are living in the ‘age’ of Attraction…of literally instant manifestation…thus…why not enter the ‘vibration’ of being able to conceive of, and produce, a 6 CD set in one day! What a exciting prospect, indeed! Here’s to all of our success, first on an inner dimension of peace and abundance…to an outer manifestation of the same qualities in our lives!
November 25th, 2008 at 6:56 am
It’s #77 for me. I’m one of those persons who think of the worst case scenarios, and don’t like risks. To the point that I’m generally unable to move because any action in fact has risks. I don’t want to spend money or time before I know I’ll be successful. So #77 is the most important one for me.
“77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.”

# 11 How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income
This would my choice in view of the turbulent economic times. Having a solid financial base to grow and develop is one of the keys necessary for survival in today’s market.
November 25th, 2008 at 11:25 am
I feel that the three biggest mistakes would be the most important. All the other info is very essential and extremely important but if you were to make one or more of these three biggest mistakes it could be the end of your chance at success.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Wow…that is some list you have put together and it will change anyone’s business future to have. Those boxes are going to need their own room!
My selection is 16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
Because right now it takes me a month for the research alone. It would save me time and obviously get me in the money a lot quicker if I could get it done in a week.
Obviously #36. Rapid Market Research: 5 things to do, to get a more thorough understanding of a target market goes right along with it. My toughest area is research so this will put and keep me on the right track.
#27. How to license your products for non-competitive use by others…is an area I do not know anything about…but would be thrilled to learn the proper techniques to utilize this concept.
It appears to me that this huge bundle of products will totally deliver #77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
What an exciting package you have put together. I’m really getting a LOT from the short expert interviews you guys are hosting and am appreciative that they are not so long that I can’t get the time to hear them. VERY Valuable…Thanks!

November 25th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
REgarding Dan Kennedy’s Info Riches Products, I have found all 77 questions that he answers are great.
However, one of my challenges as an infomation marketer is the ability to create credibility for my products.
I realise that I need as many testimonila as possible, but what about an initial product?
It still needs to be tested, reviewed and marketed, and from that, a gradual list of testimonials can be built up.
There are many aspects of marketing that make it successful, but I have found it is an art form to meld all the ingredients together to end up with the final product.
I am looking forward to mastering this skill, amongst the 77 in the Info Riches products.
Let’s face it, every one of the skills is a benefit to the final success of a marketer or business, and the ability to master as many of them as possible will help to increase each marketer;s success.
Naturally, I expect as a marketer, to provide value, with integrity, and a great gurantee, as well as complete satisfaction.
If my clients are in any way unhappy, I will always do my best to assist them, refund their money, or provide an exchange product.

75. 7 Million Dollar Lessons About Customer Behavior That I’ve Observed In Horses – just paying attention to this “Big 7″ will save and make you a ton of money.
First, hey Dan! Great stuff from you as always.
Now, I am a strict believer that in order to make huge amounts of money, you have to take care of your customers. So #75 was a natural pick for me (and I always respond to lines with ‘Million Dollar’ anything). LOL
Any lessons built to further the experience, knowledge, and overall happiness of my customers ultimately reflects on my business in a positive light. Just knowing your customer, how they think, what they do, what they like, is the main reason you start a business in the first place. You want to satisfy those wants, needs, and longings in their lives. So by helping them, you in turn help yourself.
Again, Dan, thanks for the contest and most of all for helping us to become better information marketers.

#41 – Long-term Vision: How To Create Wealth Via Info-Products. Your long-term vision keeps you on track for the rest of your life. Information products drive the economy. We live in the information age which demands us to keep up with what is going on in our field of expertise. Any professional will tell you that he must keep abreast of the latest information in his field. Would you go to a doctor to get treated if you are sick if that doctor hasn’t read anything about the latest in medical breakthroughs, or taken any continuing education courses, in the past 20 years?
the person who knows how to put together the right information, knows the market for that information, and can get the information to that market for a price will always earn a huge income. Dan Kennedy is the info-marketing King and delivers content rich material every time.
You are paid for the problems that you solve. Information solves problems for people. Get rich solving problems for people by using information!

11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income. This is the issue that appeals to me because if I had this kind of continuity I feel I’d be more likely to seek out even more opportunities and I’d stretch myself to see how far I could go. So much better than always look back to see if anything is happening.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:51 am
70. Customers for Life. It is fairly easy to get one customer to buy one time. But each time is like 50 First Dates and have to keep acquiring the same customer each time with the same investment. If can learn to keep customers for life it will exponentially grow my business and with a system in place I know I can focus on new customers to add to the system. Thanks.
November 26th, 2008 at 5:33 am
I believe #77 is of most interest to me. I have no knowledge of any guarantees in this business and think that this information would be most valuable. However, all 77 are important

Question 2:Three biggest mistakes made when putting together info-products.
I would say that this is the question that would be of the greatest impact to my efforts right now.I received a number of private label rights from Ewen Chia a few months ago and I am yet to set up my first internet business.The greatest reason has been not being able to overcome the dilemmas that have been facing me on the direction to take.

November 26th, 2008 at 10:03 am
I think this is a amazing offer
I personally believe number 70 would be the most usefull to me : visitors for life this would be mean i could get more than justmy linited 47$
thank Jan

I seriously hope i have the chance of winning this as it would absolutly boost my internet sale by 1000s every month as i would not slightly hesitate to thouroly use everything that is in this pack.
i therefore would choose number 9. How to create products that others will want to sell!!!
This would make would-be-affiliates to become affiliates and sell my product for me, and i ould have to do absolutly nothing
November 26th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I think No. 11 Continuity Programs. This is what all the Gurus are banging about at the moment. It is to find a market or niche which has continuity program element built into it which will make the most amount of money. The problem is how to find that market and how to go about the whole process.

I am just starting out, ready to hunker down after this semester finishing a Masters in basically research or library science so I would need the answer to many of the steps, how to organize the Rapid Research, the 3 biggest mistakes to stay away from, 14 steps to expert status, and how to legally extract money from the business. My undergrad was in Journalism and I write marketing articles for local Clear Channel radio station websites while managing the office website (government jobs one-stop agency) so I am also interested in how writing to the general public is different from market copy writing. So many unemployed are coming in our doors it has really spooked me.

#21 is my favorite, always give people more then they expect. They will comback again and again. Plus word of mouth will bring more people to you because you are known for giving more than you get.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:00 am
This is an offer i have waited months for, last time i also participated but unluckily i didnt get the prize.
I do know that Dan Kennedy’s products are definetlly worth thoose 5700$ and that the lucky winner should use the information wisely because your not going to find this anywhere els.
If the “3 GIANT BOXES” go for sale i would like to know to be able to buy it.
My oppinion would be number 14. How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product it would help me alot in my Information marketing business.
November 27th, 2008 at 5:25 am
I believe #11. Having continuity programs that generate ongoing residual income would be great!
I am very busy, like most people, so to have something on auto-pilot generating income is the ticket.

As I am a complete newbie absolutely everything would be
important and matter to me. The only problem would be I
would suffer from an overload of information.
November 27th, 2008 at 8:13 am
It has to be No.77. To virtually guarantee that a new product was going to be successful and therefore saleable, would be the best for me.
November 27th, 2008 at 8:39 am
14. How to get a 6-CD course done in 1 day: from idea to finished product
This would help me so much in my business because I have so many ideas and it seems to take so long to produce a product.
November 27th, 2008 at 8:59 am
If I were to pick only one… I think it would be in the trade secrets # 69, because any group that has paid over 200K to get together and share what works, then sell well over 50 Million in products … well, that’s a group of hardcore players that know how to get the job done right, the first time … and If anyone that’s having a hard time from step a to step z, if they could be but a mere fly on the wall for something so strategically aligned, so thoroughly thought out and planned, something so invigorating such as this … I’m positive they’d fly away with a solid, proven and pretty much guaranteed game plan to help them get out of any type of rut they may be in.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I’m convinced that #34. Outsourcing: options, problems, quality control is is a matter of the highest priority.
I don’t think it’s realistic to become a successful online entrepreneur without hiring people or buy service from others/outsourcing.
You have to know how to hire the right persons/-outsourcers, how to manage your staff daily – in both good and critical situations, and how to get the employees/outsourcers committed to perform their very best and still be ready to contribute with even more if they have to.
This way I’ll get more time to be together with my family, expand the business and have the time to focus on and do the things that I want to.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
November 27th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
62. How to make a fortune giving your info-products away for free is the topic that I would like to learn most. It just seems the easy business to get into. No price wars on free, grin. Also it has the nice quality of giving persons something that they would enjoy or appreciate.
November 27th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Definately #71. “Why, when and how to compete with yourself in a given market” – help in deciding between multiple brands and diversifying, or single brand and consolidation in todays economic climate would be very useful.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
Ive got a few hundred readers but close to nothing to give them except for a few PLR ebooks and affiliate offers
basically a dream for me
thank dan for giving me a chance of winning this amazing packadge.
November 28th, 2008 at 10:29 am
There are at least 25 questions I want more information about. Other than establishing metrics, constantly comparing and contrasting techniques and ideas triggers a stream of continuous improvement.
That is why #69 is the most valuable. I don’t want to mimic or find a quick fix. I want to analyze what has worked for others and why.
November 28th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
74 A lifetime of homework, a list of reading materials sounds like a great resource in itself. As an avid reader I would like to review this list and see what make everything work.
November 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I would have loved to have chosen #78, all of the above, but as it is not an option, my choice is:
35. Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses: how my clients have shot themselves in the foot.
It has been said that until we learn the lessons of the past, we will repeat them in the future. The opportunity to learn those lessons up front is invaluable to those of us who are so new, the bubble wrap hasn’t been popped yet. We need a guide that shows the pitfalls along the way.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the comments made here and for once feel I’ve met a group who reflect many of my own thoughts and challenges.
Best of luck to all.

32. How to identify, nurture and exploit the Hyper-Responsive customer
I know that there are markets of rabid buyers that can be reached fairly easy – Identifying these markets is a key to having a successful info business.
I am looking forward to all I can learn about this.

My choice is 28. Pros, cons, dangers, details of international or territorial licensing.
I chose this because I already own most of Dan Kennedy’s books, which cover a number of great topics but # 28 is
a topic that is very rarely discussed publicly among Internet Marketers yet it could greatly enhance my income because I have a growing number of subscribers to my list who live in foreign countries, which makes it a no-brainer for me to learn how to license my products
internationally.
Unfortunately, I am only aware of one course (at a cost of $2,000) that covers licensing and while I know he is a highly respected fellow, I’d be much more interested in Dan Kennedy’s licensing approach because he has been such a mentor to me already via his books.

58 and 59, How to create Credibility for info-products and How to create Believability for info-products. Once a marketer has established credibility and believability for his products, it will be a lot easier to make the market recognize the necessity for buying his products.

57. How to best utilize marketing technologies incl. tele-conferences, recorded messages, broadcast Voice Mail, e-mail. – This is my choice because I feel that utilizing the various marketing technologies will enable me to reach out to the right potential customers as well as larger numbers of customers in order to generate more sales and revenue.
November 30th, 2008 at 12:08 am
6. Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty)
I’m in the process of creating 2 totally different info products right now and am figuring out how get some experts on board. Free would be fantastic!
It was really hard to make just one choice since any of these tips would make a big difference in the success rate of an info product launch. 14,32,52,62 & 77 are tied for second place!
November 30th, 2008 at 4:15 am
I’ve gained so much from all of Dan’s material I’ve been exposed to, that it’s too hard to pick just one. So, I’d say 37 & 34.
First, continuity is definitely where the real money is at. I’m actually minutes away from setting up my first membership site. I would love to have a little guidance from Dan to get started on the right foot.
And then #34, outsourcing, is kind of scary to jump into without help from someone who’s done it. I have the domain, hosting, script, and content. Now I just need more hours in the day or a few more hands.
37. “How to use continuity-type products to create stable, predictable cash flow AND equity AND more valuable customers.”
34. “Outsourcing: options, problems, quality control.”
November 30th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I definitely would have to say #70, [The 5 secrets of creating "Customers For Life"]
When you understand the importance the customer has in your business, and the money it will pay you as a lifelong customer, it really makes you sit back and implement and do things the right way, because if there not happy the first time, they won’t come back the 2nd, but if they are happy over and over again, it adds up in the long run for both the business in profit and the customer in solutions.
November 30th, 2008 at 6:46 am
77. How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.
I would love to know the answer to this one. In getting this information, I think the answer to many other questions would logically have to lie within. I am not so worried about “loss” on an info product, except for my time, but I would like to know that whatever I’m taking my valuable time to do is not going to fail.
November 30th, 2008 at 9:36 am
For me, I’d say 76 is #1 – If I want to sell things I either have to depend on luck, or I have to learn better how to sell. That means learning how to write copy that sells. Or how to get good copywriting done at a very reasonable price.
But really, I think I need to personally understand the selling process a lot better regardless of whether or not I outsource the copywriting work.
November 30th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I have spent over 25 years in service to people, and have given away so much help and information. I have been told that I would have made millions if I had packaged it or sold it…so that’s what I’m trying to do for my children, grandchildren & missionary endeavors. So, I am very curious about #62, 66, 67 & 68, since I use my voice. Thanks for helping millions Dan!!

November 30th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
#14 interests me the most…I have tons of products and ideas for products and am an excellent writer with lots of years of marketing experience (Dan is my favorite “teacher”) What I really would like is help on doing what I do well faster and easier, especially in the areas of CDs, videos and e-books. Taking too much time to learn takes time from the actual doing. Dan’s information is always to the point and easy to understand.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
#6 (Where to find experts by the boatload…for free.) This compels me for three reasons:
1. It’s a huge credibility builder for any info-product marketer.
2. Making personal contact with seasoned experts in a field enriches a person’s network instantly.
3. It gives me hope that experts don’t intend to rake me over the coals financially, but to help spread their important messages via endorsing my products, doing interviews, etc.
4. When customers see experts supporting a product that they’re considering buying, would that not encourage future visits to see which other experts weigh in with their opinions?
November 30th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Both #14 and #77 are of greatest interest to me. I would love to have a home-study, CD packaged product that would appeal to my target market and motivate them to purchase even higher priced products as a result. Obviously, I would want to know how to guarantee that an info product and the marketing of it would be successful. The fewer wheels I have to spin and the fasted ROI is what I am interested in learning and achieving. I have three vision boards in my office and if I could realize even one in 2009, I would know that I have lived my passion and purpose.
What a great contest – I am inspired by it.

#41. Long-Term Vision: how to create Wealth via info-products.
I am tired of reading and searching the best opportunity that would be best for me. And to decide which one is authentic and really good for a long term is not easy. But I think that with the info-products and with the continuous support from here I, if given a chance, can attain something small to big in the future. Thanks.
December 1st, 2008 at 1:18 pm
I personally think topic no 37 which is about using continuity-type products to create a stable cash flow is the ultimate goal I am trying to work towards as a newbie info marketer. I drive everywhere listening to Dan on CDs I bought previoulsy.
thanks

30. Marrying info-products with info-services
I have produced a few products in the past (with a brand new launch last month), but a coaching/consulting service would take my business to the next level.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
N0 #16 – Would do me fine. Would love to learn how to do the research and get the material for a new info-product and organized it, in a week. Wow! That would be fantastic.
I would be,or, will be in 7th heaven if I were to win
this
Thanks-Much Shirley

How to license your products for non-competitive use by others is key to learn and apply to take my business to the next level. I have a program, have marketed to different niches-tailored for them, but would like to move one. I finally understand why inventors like to sell royalities and move on to solve the ne3xt problem.
I want and need to know how to sell the license, share my programs yet keep the competitiveness.
And I take t heart what I learned from Dan–there is no worry in them (competitiors) learning what I do since they won’t do the follow up.

December 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 am
16. Rapid Research: how to get all the raw material you need for a new info-product organized in one week
I chose #16 because this is where I am at right now. In fact, I have most of the raw research already for my info-product, because this is my field. What I need is a way to get it organized!!
Then I would choose #11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income. Because I want to create that monthly cash flow and income, as well as create ongoing value for my target market.
Thank you for this gift!

67: How to sell a million dollars of info-products a year doing interviews at home. I would love to bring great people home (even via phone), introduce them to my family, learn together, share with others, and make a hearty income.
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
#11 – How to create and sustain a continuity program and lock in stable monthly income. This would be my dream to be able to learn.
I figure if possible, no matter how long it takes, it’s stable, and then to sustain it try to source out as much as possible to limit my time to spend on it, then rinse and wash and repeat all over again, and on again. My thought is that would build up a monthly income that would free myself from any worries concerning money.
Thanks Much …David
December 4th, 2008 at 2:27 am
#7 – How to create a product with exceptional sales value. If I got this one down, I believe the right product will have the customers beating down the door and affiliates drooling over themselves to sell the product for me.
With a few success’s I’ll be able to show others how to do it too.
December 4th, 2008 at 4:03 am
Hi,
I’d most like to know about #35. Five Poisonous Patterns that destroy successful info-product businesses, because I strongly believe if we don’t learn from history we’ll repeat it again and again and again.
Secondly I am also interested in #69 (trade secrets of platinum members) because I want to model strategies of the super successful infomarketers.
Basically I want to tap into Dan Kennedy’s experience to move towards successful info-publishing strategies and move AWAY from unsuccessful strategies.
Thanks,
Bhavani
December 4th, 2008 at 6:57 am
#52 If I had to choose only one out of all these gems of wisdom – which I do! – I would choose this one.
Even if you are going to treat your prospects to the best product they have ever seen, they won’t know that unless your offer is appealing enough to get them to order it. So for me, this is the key to the whole thing.
Thank you,
James Woodfield
December 7th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Dan,
I would like to first thank you for this contest and the opportunity it affords those of us who are trying to build a better financial future for ourselves and our families. Of all of your 77 reasons, number 77 is my choice for the reason that is the most important one for me. “How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure”. The idea of having the knowledge and tools that will GUARANTEE that this time, I will be able to create a successful online business is the most important of the 77 reasons.
Thanks again for you generosity.
Lucille
December 7th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
#77: “How to virtually GUARANTEE that a new info-product and the marketing of it will be successful and profitable. Exactly how to write yourself an “insurance policy” against loss or failure.”
Why? Because if I can practically guarantee that a new info-product will be successful and profitable, the risk/reward ratio would be heavily in my favor, and I’d be much more inclined to move forward and actually create the product.
December 8th, 2008 at 2:22 am
#11. How to create and sustain a continuity program and “lock in” stable monthly cash flow and income.
In business cash flow is king. With cash flow you have capital available to you for developing new products and marketing them. Cash flow can make your business a “self-liquidating” operation that funds itself and can free you from the worries of “where the money is going to come from”. A stable income gives you peace of mind so that you can enjoy your business and life.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Hi Dan & Team,
Wow. I can only choose one…? ; P
Of the 77 reasons from Dan Kennedy’s letter I would most want to learn about in order to boost my income would be
Reason #6: “Where to find experts by-the-boatload who will cheerfully contribute to your info-products, free (pay them nothing, not even a royalty).”
How would this help me?”
Well, I have been working on a few membership sites(web video, wordpress, social media, etc.) and am not sure how to go about asking for and having EXPERTS WANT to cheerfully contribute to my info products… since I don’t have anything tangible to offer them.
If I can be told step-by-step what to say/write/do/not to do then I’ll have lots of content that people would be willing to pay for on a continuity basis.
I would further benefit from reading and doing what these experts in their field are doing, become an expert myself(even just by association) and I can then Joint Venture with other Info Marketers and “make boatloads of cash”. ; P
Also, I won’t have to spend time writing, procrastinating anymore(because I don’t know how to approach the right people and what to say/do/offer them), spend money outsourcing, etc. Because the experts will have all the answers! Plus, they’ll be willing to give my their best secrets and bonuses like their own products and services.
I can even Joint Venture with these Experts on other sites and products. I could also create a series of MULTIPLE back-end products and up-sells/cross sells.
Also, since I don’t have lists for my membership sites I can have them send their lists to the niche membership site they’re an expert in and have them build my list for me! Sweet!
I am so excited right now… I may just go ahead and just start this on my own…!
So when can I expect to see my 3 Giant Boxes of Dan Kennedy Greatness…?
Thanks &
God Bless,
Yoon
P.S. Thanks Dan & Rob Toth & everyone else adding their comments on this blog!
December 8th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
I have a successful business that runs me. It is fun, maybe too much.I am creating info products now based on that business and that is why I think the answer to the question is the last one the guarantee of success. #77 that’s my final answer. Don’t be mislead here there were quite a few other possible answers. Like everyone else I love re-assurance.
Thanks,
john

December 9th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Wow there are so many good reasons on your list that it is hard to pick out one reason and call it the best. I like the ideas concerning Info Product Development like #2 since I don’t know squat about making info products, I surely want to avoid the mistakes in making them. But I really would like to know where to find experts who will contribute to my info-products, without having to pay anything. Hey when you are starting out with nothing, free is the right price. I know there are tricks and ways to figure out how to come up with the right product for the right audience and to do it for free or almost free. I just need someone to point me in the right direction. It looks like Dan Kennedy’s package will answer all of my questions. I am in the process of building a niche market product and to be honest I keep hitting the wall and getting stuck. I get part of the puzzle but there is so much that I need answers to. Please put me in the drawing and …
Thank you,
Pete

29. Re-cycling old product for new income.
Having run a successful business for over 30 years we have an enormous amount of material, plus exclusive access to archives of rare and out-of-copyright/print publications. We use some in our multimedia magazine, but additional ideas on how to use and process this efficiently would be most welcome.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:25 am
We added on one day to the sale to allow for PayPal purchasers to place their orders… however, the contest is indeed closed now.
It’s just a matter of getting pages (and the blog) revised to reflect this.
Because of the one day “delay”, the contest winner was also delayed. We’ll draw later tonight and post the winner to the blog and send an announcement to our subscribers.
Good luck and thanks for participating!
May 18th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
I would love to win your contest, Dan! It would help us in advancing our niche of dealing with the decamillionaires and up, and make me and my partners succeed beyond all expectations. But, hey, you’re the boss, and you’ll pick best, right?
Make it a great day!
