More than money, I find that most Infopreneurs are motivated by freedom. We want to be independent of the need to go to a J.O.B every day. We want the freedom to work on the things that are fueled by our passion — not just our need for income. When is your Independence Day? Pick a day and develop a plan to replace your income, liberate your soul!

I’m starting to hear a lot of buzz about http://www.evernote.com, and the reviews are positive so far. The tool is essentially a searchable storage bin for everything you want to remember. The big difference between this tool and some of the online bookmarking tools is evernote allows you to capture images offlineand easily store and search them. Even hand written text in a photo is searchable!

Leverage - the ability to take additional advantage of all existing assets and strengths - is one of the key competitive edges an infopreneur can gain over the rest of the marketplace. If you can leverage assets better than others, you will always win. And joint ventures employ the best form of leverage - because they have little or no risk.

To create downloadable reports and e-books, you need
software that will convert your documents to PDF. PDF files
are easy to distribute, and readable by just about every
computer on the planet. There is a great free writing
software that will also let you make very professional PDF
files. Open Office is an open source project used by many
infopreneurs to create downloadable reports and e-books.

Make a list of all the advocates of your business. These are
the people who like you so much that they will advertise
your business for FREE. This list could be a combination of
friends, relatives, business associates and clients. Keep
these important players informed about the successes of your
business and any new announcements of your business.

How many free trial software packages did you really test?
Giving away free trials simply postpones the burden of
making a decision to buy. Therefore, by using free trials,
you will end up with tons of prospects who never wanted to
buy in the first place. A better approach is to offer a low
cost trial period.

The more affiliates you have, the bigger your profits become. In fact, if you can take your customers and turn them into affiliates, by TRAINING them to become affiliates, you have an even bigger chance of profits because you have people who already love your product selling it for you! It’s what I call turning your customers into “Product Evangelists” who willingly tell others about your ’stuff’.
Gina Gaudio-Graves: In her full blog post, Gina explains the importance of having your own affiliate program and more.
If you take the time and trouble to educate your market about what your product or service can do for them, explain the benefits they will get from their purchase, dimensionalize it and make them come alive in your prospect’s mind, and even compare and contrast these same benefits against what they pay for other products to provide - you’ll easily be able to command (and receive) a premium price.
