Life in the information age presents an excellent opportunity for people servicing clients with their brains.

Got knowledge? Experience? Shortcuts?

Share your brain and find your business growing faster than ever.

People want concise answers to the challenges they are facing. And I bet you are in a position to provide those answers.

In fact you probably are already doing this.

How many times do you answer people’s questions at parties, family gatherings, random phone calls and emails? The questions seem simple enough. And you “thinking nothing of it” when you provide your knowledge without compensation.

After all, this is easy-breezy for you. The answers simply rattle off your tongue.

Well, my friend, that’s a good sign that you are losing an opportunity to “help people profitably”.

And one of the tactical ways you can turn what you know into an income stream is by creating a free report.

You’re already giving away this information – why not consolidate some of it into a short 6-10 page PDF that people can download?

I can hear you now – “But if I give it away, how will it be profitable? How will it make me money?”

3 Ways Free Reports Can Make You Money

The answer to that question is in what you include in your report. Here are 3 things to make sure you include:

1) A call to action throughout the report for people to hire you for the services you can uniquely provide; or for a product you have already created.

2) Recommendations of a resource that you use as part of the challenge the report addresses. With the right affiliate connection, you can generate a nice income from these recommendations without any additional work

3) Provide an opportunity for others to buy rights to the report so they can use it for their business. This could be reprint rights, resale rights, private label rights, or a hidden gem: rebranding rights.

Rebranding rights allow your readers to insert their links to your product or affiliate offers. See a case study video from my friend James Grandstaff on viral report rebranding profits.

Once your report is created, you can use it to generate leads and clients through a list building campaign. Since the report is more substantial than a blog post or an article, your status as an expert elevates.

The best part about a report you give away is it works for you 24/7. Regardless of what you are actually doing, people down the street, within 50 miles and even around the world can be downloading your report from the web.

Create a free report and you have a heavy-hitter on your automated sales team. And for solo-entrepreneurs, that’s not only a money-maker, it’s also a big time saver!

And here’s even better news…

Through the rest of this month, you can learn exactly how to put one of these free reports together. That’s because I’m giving away my Discover Product Creation: Free Reports course to all members of the IM Success Library, including the Silver (Free) members.

p.s. Why am I giving this away for free this month? Four reasons really…

  • I truly believe the strategic and technical skills I teach in this course will help you grow your business faster. As a teacher, I love living vicariously through the success of my students!
  • You may not realize just how much you can learn from me inside the IM Success Library. By showcasing one of my courses, I hope you to prove how valuable the Gold and Platinum membership really is.
  • I’m embarking on an evil plot to get you to attend my next live event.
  • There’s an awesome viral report marketing system coming out soon that will be useless to you unless you can create the reports.
