@kathleengage on @slideshare Lots of people want to create information products, but the truth is, most never will. Or, if they do create them, they likely won't make money. I recently conducted a survey to find out what the market temperature is, You may be surprised with my findings. I

If you could learn one thing about product creation, what would it be?
The majority of people responded with how to market and sell their products. There
were many respondents who wanted to know how to create faster and more effectively.
Many others wanted to know how to find the resources to outsource to.
Quite a few said they just don’t know where to start.
If you could ask me one question about making money online, what would it be?
Nicest
Your information is great Kathleen. I trust you and know you go above and beyond with
your information. You are the real deal.
Funniest
Q: Do you know someone willing to help someone like me pro-bono, I mean for free?

3. A: Would you go to your doctor, dentist or auto mechanic and ask them to provide their
services for free? Likely not.
So why would you believe that those of us who offer various types of business building
resources and training should offer things for free?
If you’re serious about generating revenue through product creation and online means
you must be willing to invest.
You would be amazed at how much I continue to invest in my education, learning,
mentors and training. Virtually everyone I know who takes running a business online
seriously invests in their business.
Granted, when you first start out your investments will be less than when your business
is generating hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. But you absolutely must be
willing to invest.
Saddest
Q1: Isn’t it basically a complete racket of affiliate marketing b.s. out there?
Q2: Is it legit? Do you have references?
Q3: Are there any honest people left in the internet marketing world.
A: I will be the first to admit there are scams online. And yet, there are plenty of
honest people who have incredible information to offer the market. If you have not
noticed this, I believe it’s because you are not looking.
For example, if you check me out you will see I have been around for decades as have
many of my colleagues.
We offer real solutions to real problems. There are plenty of people who have posted
positive comments about us.
If you think we are all scammers, running rackets and not honest, that’s likely all you will
see.
A quick search through Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and various other locations will
reveal a lot. There are plenty of hard working experts who are definitely the real deal.
We run our online businesses like businesses. Anyone who is serious about making
money online must be willing to invest time, money and resources.
Those who are constantly looking for something for nothing will never, ever, ever be
able to run a successful business.

4. There are people in virtually any industry you can think of who are making a great living
online. Many you will never hear about because they are not selling services,
information products and resources on how to make money.
Industries like health and nutrition, photography, dog training, spiritual topics, real estate
investments, astrology, and interior design to name just a few.
Over the next few months I am going to provide responses to many of the hundreds of
questions that were submitted. Be watching for this information as it is designed to help
you achieve your goals in the fastest, most efficient, most integrous way possible.
