Nicheology Review #2
Posted by Martin | Tagged as: The Kickstart Guide to Making Money Online
I wrote about Nicheology the other day, but on reflection, didn’t
really express just how valuable the stuff they offer can be.
In my book Unlock the Secrets of Private Label eBooks I
detail 11 different ways you can use private label
ebook material. Any one of them can make you money and in
combination, the sky is the limit.
What Nicheology offers are two different types of PLR ebooks –
ones called ‘products in the rough’, which are text files that
you can use as the basis of a product of your own, and more
polished ebooks that come with sales letters and graphics already
produced.
As I said on Tuesday, one of the major selling points for me is
not only that you get new products in both categories every
month, but that you get access to the entire back catalog from
the word go. That is invaluable because they have so may books
now, on so many different subjects, that whatever niche you are
in, there is likely to be material there that you can use.
So what can you do with all these private label books?
Well for starters, polish them up, add a few extras of your own
and sell them as your own work. In my researches on ClickBank I
have found quite a few high popularity (i.e. ones that are
selling well) books that are on sale for $47 or more – that I
know are originally Nicheology products in the rough.
And often, several people are selling the same book under a
different title.
I haven’t done that yet (although I’m currently working on
polishing up one title for sale). My use of Nicheology is
different.
First, the site I’m building is a review site of ClickBank
products, themed by a specific niche. I’m using Nicheology ebooks
in five different ways on that site alone:
1. I have taken one ‘Product in the Rough’ and polished it up
into a long-ish (35 pages) report, which I offer as an incentive
for people to sign up to the associated newsletter.
2. I have taken five other Nicheology books and smartened them up
a bit to offer to buyers in each of the sections of the site as a
bonus when they buy a book from that section through my ClickBank
link.
3. Another couple of books have been stripped down into their
component chapters and posted to the site as relevant content
pages that link up to my review pages.
4. Using those same chapters I’ve been able to precis each one
into a 200-300 word blog post. It is very easy to cut down stuff
that other people have written, and fast. I can create about a
dozen good blog posts in an hour this way.
5. All of the books, whether the ones I’m offering as bonuses or
the ones I’ve used as content, are a rich source of ideas and
tips to put in the newsletters I send out to the list that the
site is building for me.
I could, if I wanted to, use the very same material in other
ways:
* Turn each chapter of a book into a short video to put on
YouTube and other sites to provide links back to mine.
* Create podcasts from the material.
* Combine several books into one to create a really good book for
sale in its own right.
* Use each chapter of the books as the basis for an article – by
simply paraphrasing it as you read it. A very fast way of
producing relevant and unique articles.
All this is possible because private label basically means you
can do anything you like (except sell the private label rights
yourself!) It is fantastic!
Now, there will be people who read all of the above and say ‘but
that all looks like a lot of work!’ And they’d be right.
Internet marketing – at least, successful Internet marketing IS a
lot of work – and don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
But how much MORE work would it be to create a quality content
site without access to all this good material?
How much harder is it to write a dozen articles from scratch than
it is to paraphrase a book that is already written for you?
How much more daunting would it be to have to research and then
write a whole 50-page ebook to give away as a bonus that to just
read through a few candidates from Nicheology and then tart them
up to look pretty?
It is still work, but a whole world less work than the
alternative!
I don’t really believe in shortcuts, but I do believe in
smartcuts and Nicheology is the smartest investment I’ve made so
far this year. And next time my credit card expires, I’ll be on
to them to give them a new number as fast as I can!
