The InfoProfits Blueprint – How to Create a Six-Figure Information Products Business From Home
Update 08/26/2010: The report is now ready so go ahead grab your copy.
I’m putting the finishing touches on a special report titled: The InfoProfits Blueprint: How to Create a Six-Figure Information Products Business from Home.
In the report, I outline a simple business model you can use to create an online, information products (infoproducts) business that allows you to make a difference in peoples’ lives while creating an amazing lifestyle for yourself and those you love.
Although there are variations, it’s the same model used by successful infoproduct business owners around the world. It’s also the model I personally used to create my own six-figure infoproducts business from the comfort of my home office. My wish and belief for you is that by executing the steps in this report, you’ll be able to achieve similar results.

Why Most Bloggers Don’t Make Any Money, and How to Turn it Around
I’m not sure what the exact statistics are, but I’m certain most bloggers don’t make much – if any – money from their efforts. It’s a shame too. After all, you were so energized when you first launched your blog.
Perhaps you were inspired by the stories of successful bloggers. People like Yaro Starak, John Chow, Darren Rowse, Leo Babauta and other rock-star bloggers who “work a few hours per day from the comfort of their home, and earn a six-figure income.” Maybe you read their stories and thought, “wow, that’s for me.” Now, here you are, six or twelve months down the line, and still, you have little to show for your efforts.
I know how you feel. I’ve been there myself. I launched my first blog, Small Business Branding in 2004 when blogs were just starting to become cool. At the time, like many of you reading this, I worked a full-time job and devoted most of my spare time to building my blog. I wrote good content, did the SEO thing, networked with other bloggers, did link exchanges, created a podcast, interviewed other bloggers. The whole nine yards (almost).
Still, despite those good things, after nearly two years, I was earning less than $200 per month from my blog and still stuck in a full-time job that I hated.
And my efforts were somewhat effective. I developed a small readership of about 400 daily readers. I earned top five positions on Google for various search terms related to small business marketing, and at one point, the site garnered a PR6 Google page rank (it mattered more back then). I also scored a brief mention in Entrepreneur magazine as one of the “cream of the crop” marketing blogs on the Internet. Not a huge deal, but I was proud of it at the time.
