There are many ways to create and market your own products online. I am referring to informational product such as ebook. Promoting eBook online is one of the most lucrative online business model. Selling Physical products however has its advantages and disadvantages. The limitation in selling physical products are inventory control, shipment etc. In this post, I will focus on informational products – that is eBook, which you could create within 7 days or as fast as within 24 hours.
 
1. Private Label Rights (PLR)
Purchase PLR ebook which you could brand it under your own name. There are many PLR products online which you could purchase at an affordable price and your could alter the title, change the graphics of the sales webpage, change the headline as well as changing the author name to your own name. This is one of the best online business model of creating a product in your own niche.  Here are some places where you can source for a PLR products in any niche market.
 
2. Hire an Expert
Another ways to create your product is to hire an expert. You could hire a ghost writer to write an ebook for you within a few days. The price may varies and depends on word counts and your negotiation with the experts. Here are places which you could source for a good writter Online. 
 
3. Write Your Own eBook
If you like writing,  You could write a 10-15 pages ebook on a particular niche topic and market it online for a low cost which people can afford. One good way is to combine PLR articles which i highlighted in method 1 above, combine a few PLR articles on the same niche to form into an eBook.  This will shorten your development time and you just need to change the heading and a few lines just to make it original from your own words. Topics which you could write includes "How To" topic such as – "How to Build Solar Power for Home", "How I Lost 10pounds In 30 Days". Write Topic which you have the passion in or which you have personally experienced..
 
These 3 methods are by far the most effective way to create your own product and sell it online under your own branding. The next step will be to create your own sales page and website. You may want to use some graphics and webpage that come along with the PLR products and just do modification on the headline, contents and add in your name to it. You could use the PLR articles to create contents on your sales page and add a few graphics, a payment processor such as Paypal or Alertpay and you should be ready to bring your own product to market online. 
 
It may sound simple, but you must take the first step to learn and take action. As you go along, you should be able to add more new products of your own as fast as within 24 hours.

I have seen new network marketers making the same mistakes over and over again. Here are 7 most common made mistakes, but there are not limited to only these.

Mistake #1 – Don’t take time to complete the Training
Its really sad to see this, but its true. Most marketers do not take or complete the courses provided by the network marketing program. Be it product, sales or marketing training. Learning the necessary Skill is the key to success.

Mistake #2 – Taking it too Easy…
Most new marketers do not take the program seriously. Some doing it whenever they like it… and worst of all they expect the Sponsor or leaders to place downline below them…or hoping for a Spill-over from any uplines… This big mistake contribute to major failure..

Mistake #3 – Cannot Take Rejection
After a few rounds of rejection from friends or prospect, the marketers get disappointed and discourage easily and eventually, think that the program does’nt really work out and then what’s next… Sponsors are there to help. They will hold you by the hands when you are new and slowly loosen as you gets more into the business. Sponsors are always there for you to call or email for any help. Make use of sponsor to make a presentation with you to prospect… and you will learn from there.

Over selling of products to friends and relative you know…and hoping to get the recruitment done quickly. New marketers just forget about the benefits the product or services can bring.. Even if the new prospect do not want to join the business, But they could be a Customer using the product or services.

Mistake #6 – Forget about Yourself
Selling products, focus on the network companies brand and benefits of the program… But forget about self branding. I belief that people join people, products and program play a part. But branding Yourself is just as important…
