I remember being a professor and hearing students who got bad grades complain
to me about how much work they had put into something.
The thing is, work alone doesn't make crap not crap.
But also, the amount of work you put into something doesn't necessarily correlate with how much people value it.
Case in point:
I once did a webinar with Tim Paige (voice of the Tom Woods Show intro and outro) of Leadpages. He had us answer a question. When persuading people to sign up for someone's email list, which free giveaway generates the best results?
1. an eBook
2. a checklist
3. a video course
Can you believe the answer was #2? Out of those three things, a checklist is by far the least labor-intensive to create. Yet it's what most people wanted.
Most people know themselves well: they'll never get around to consuming your free course. And (much as it pains me) they may never read your eBook.
But a list of resources, or a list of tips, can be consumed easily and immediately.
Personally, I would use such a checklist to build my email list. But as Etsy proves, checklists or lists of tips can actually be lucrative. I've been shocked at how many sales these simple things make.
But even though lists like these are the simplest of the three options above to create, you may still not know how to make one -- or, like me, you don't trust your artistic abilities to produce something pleasing to the eye.
So I've found a very, very simple way for you to create lists of tips that don't look like you just started doing this yesterday: TipPubCreator, by my friend of six years, Amy Harrop. (She even created the tips for you, in multiple niches, or you can use your own content.)
Again, this is a great and easy and effective way to build an email list or even have a simple product to sell.
To make the decision an easy one for you, I'm throwing in a bonus: my 12 models for earning recurring revenue, month after month, year after year.
I've got 5000 words for you for each of the 12 methods. No fluff.
Surely one of those 12 will hold some appeal for you. And who doesn't want recurring revenue?
That alone (it's sold for $97 in the past) is of higher value than Amy's product itself, in fact. To claim it, forward your receipt to bonuses@tomwoods.com.
But you have only until Monday, and since Monday is Independence Day you'll forget, so now's the time:
