Can You Really Make Money in Online Publishing

Yes, there are people making money ethically, legally and morally out of thin air using something called “Online Publishing.” As a matter of fact they are delivering real value to their customers in the process. The good news is that you can do it too!

So, who are these people and what are they doing? It’s actually quit simple. For the most part these are regular people like you and I, who know something about a particular topic, and are sharing their knowledge by using what is become known as “Online Publishing.”

These infopreneurs are creating e-books, e-courses, audio programs, software, streaming videos and any combination of these to deliver their information products online, in real time, to help their customers learn a new skill, solve a problem or in someway expand their knowledge about a particular topic.

The advent of the Internet has made this world of online publishing, a process that uses technology to deliver information in real time, a reality. Pay-per-click search engine advertising, available from Google and Yahoo, have provided the marketing vehicle.

So who are these people, how does all this work, and can you get in on this online publishing phenomena?

The answer to the second part of this question is a big, resounding “YES!”

First, let’s have a look at some real world examples.

Two of the most successful people in the online information business are Joe Vitale and Jim Edwards. Their “Seven Day E-book Secrets” teaches people how to do produce an e-book quickly and sell it online. You can learn more about this and other resources at http://www.jimdonovan.com/onlinepublishing.html

Another example is “Perry Marshal's "Definitive Guide to Google Adwords,” an essential resource for anyone using Pay-per-click advertising for their online publishing endeavors.

Others in the business run the gamut from training your parrot to learning how to use Power Point, including my own home study course, “How to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book."

The key to all of this is email and pay-per-click advertising. Today when someone wants information, the first place they look is usually Google or some other search engine.

By using the pay-per-click, keyword advertising services with these search engines, smart online publishers are able to present their solution to your problem, at the exact time your looking for it.

The magic of the web brings the information hungry buyer exactly what they want, when they want it, immediately available for instant delivery. Click! Cha-ching!

So How Can I Make Money with Online Publishing?
Think about what you know. Are you an expert in some particular field? Do you have specific knowledge that other people will pay for? Do you have a passion or hobby that you can teach to others?

I believe that we all have special talents, passions and gifts. My wife Georgia for example, created a program for women titled “Looking Fabulous after 40," based on her life long love of fashion, beauty and style, and her seminars and consulting with hundreds of women. By "packaging" her knowledge, she is able to make it available to more women, at less cost than her one-on-one services, and have an additional revenue stream in the process. One that works 24/7!

What If I’m Not a Writer?

Even if you’re not a writer, you can get help with the writing or you can do an audio program, some other media, or even develop a software program that helps people accomplish a particular task more efficiently.

There are several Web sites that will connect you with the freelancers that can do everything from simple web pages to developing streaming video presentations to deliver your information and help you get started in online publishing.

Two of these are www.elance.com, for general services and www.rent-a-coder.com, where you find more technical services available, or you can get a copy of the “Seven Day E-Book” and get started immediately.

Regardless of what you chose to do, there are viable income producing opportunities in online publishing that are available to anyone who is willing to do some work.

Learning all there is to know about Online publishing is beyond the scope of this article, however, to help you get started, I have created a complimentary ten part "Jumpstart Your Book," e-course. Visit

Re: We Have Another One... - Right after posting my last message I went to the online businesses section and noticed he had posted again since earlier. There are now 2 posts of his in there. At the time of writing this they are the top 2 posts in that section so they should be easy to find. I have also reported them both. I checked one of them and found many copies of it on different forums. One of them was the warrior forum and someone replied to it saying this... [quote:12zan0h6]This has been copied/pasted from Ideas To Make Money Online This guy also tried spamming my forum this way too, was banned quick - strongly advised to check his other 9 threads/posts I can almost guarantee if you google the first sentence you'll find more [EDIT: confirmed - all except his first are pasted from other sources - spamzer]. You'd think randomizing usernames would cross their minds...[/quote:12zan0h6] By the way, the ones on other forums are from journeyoflife7 (without the extra 7 that the new poster here as) which is the same as the one who was banned here. So it is definitely the same person, which means journeyoflife77 should also be banned. I already knew it had to be the same person but this confirms it.
Re: UPDATES: New Campaign! New Layout! New Ideas! - [quote="Ringo So":2696kbgu]Trent - It's actually a sub-forum within the "Making Money in 2010" category. Please let me know if there are any troubles finding it.[/quote:2696kbgu] Nope, still don't see it. I see the Online Businesses forum but that has been there for a long time. Is that what you mean? I don't see any Internet Marketing section.
Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
