Several months ago, I wrote a short special report that I
entitled, "How To Make $1000 - $2000 In 24 Hours Or Less!"
I wrote that report BECAUSE I had so many people emailing
me with financial emergencies. So, I sat down and
basically brainstormed for a hour, then spent another hour
polishing my notes into an ebook (special report). Then I
spent roughly another hour gathering (and incorporating)
feedback on my draft and writing a very crude sales letter.
I offered that special report on a forum, and to my list,
for $5. I also included provisions for anyone purchasing
the special report to resell it (using a link that I
provided inside the report), and earn 100% commission,
which was instantly paid to their Paypal account.
I basically gave that report a little push and let the
viral nature of it take over. I spent about 3 hours to
initially get it into the marketplace.
Recently, I logged in to glance at my statistics and saw
that I had made 4156 sales for that report. That translates
into $20,780 for 3 hours work.
That report has also generate well over 1000 backend sales,
thousands of subscribers, and even several joint ventures.
I'm sharing this with you because I want you to see that
many of the VERY simple ideas that you read everyday do
work!
That simple report sprang from noticing a problem that I
could easily offer a solution to. Implementing the special
report involved using an idea I got from reading a $7 ebook
written by Jonathan Leger. Jonathan's ebook called "$7
Secrets" described how you could quickly and easily
generate thousands of dollars with simples short reports...
using his scripts (which are included free with the ebook)
to power your sales process.
You can read about Jonathan's ebook and the scripts, which
sells for a mere $7, at:

You can see how I implemented what I learned in that $7
ebook here:
Since spending those 3 hours creating and rolling out the
product I have made revisions to the ebook based upon
feedback, and I have added testimonials to my sales page.
So, now I probably have closer to 5 hours invested in it.
So, that does reduce my return-on-investment down to
approximately $5000 per hour :-)
At this point you're probably wondering what made that
special report such a success. Certainly, not all such
reports do as well. Part of my secret is that I gave it the
first BIG push by running a $20 ad on an internet marketing
discussion forum. I've run similar ads a number of times
with great results. In fact, I even wrote a special report
detailing how I did that.
I wrote a special report called "Secrets Of The $10,000
Warrior Special Offer" where I outlined how I've placed
several of these ads (which costs $20 each) and had them
each earn me incredibly profits. You can read about that
special report at:

By now, you're probably wondering what the POINT of this
article is. Actually, there are several points.
The first point is that you don't need a huge idea, or to
create a big product, to do well in the information
marketing business. MOST of the ebooks that I write are
under 50 pages, with many of them being under 20 pages. As
already mentioned, I can write these in just a matter of
hours.
A second point is that simple ideas that thousands of
others looked at and then "think about" can, an DO, produce
amazing results when acted upon! Instead of thinking about
it, you just need to actually just do it!
The point of this article is to provide you with proof that
many of the simple ideas that you read, or even think up
yourself, can be very profitable. The only real secrets
lies in the expression "Nothing Happens Until Something
Moves!" The key is merely in the implementation... in the
doing.
If a tobacco farmer, and a ex-soldier can do it, then you
probably can too... but only if you're willing to get up
and get going :-)
Make today the day that you finally get into action!
I should add a disclaimer. My results are certainly NOT
typical. I have 11 years experience actually learning,
testing, and putting into practice what I've learned. So,
it's probably not realistic for you to expect to equal my
results. However, even if you do only a fraction as well as
I did, isn't that still a fantastic return on the time
invested?
