Easy Content Cash: 7 Ways to Sell Your Content

Wonder what would happen when you use them all…

WARNING! => One of the biggest traps of online marketing is to get caught in the rut of selling the same thing to the same people in the same way.

These easy ways to sell your content give you 7 different ways to sell the same thing.

Here we go:

Medium.com: Get an account on Medium.com. Join their Partner Program. Create consistent content. 3–5 times a week. Get a deposit in your bank account the first week of each month.

Action Articles: Take any article you’ve ever created. Add 3–5 “action questions” at the end of the article, designed to get people into action over what they’ve just read.

Example: “Which tip stands out to you the most?”

Ebooks: Yes, they still work. I’ve bought 2 this month. And sold a whole lot more.

Take a single article and expand on it. Or collect a few of your articles on one topic and bundle them. Sell your ebook on Amazon or on your own website.

Ecourse: Create an article with 7 tips. Send one tip a day or one tip a week by email. Add instructions on how to use each tip.

How to charge more: Give your customer the opportunity to email you with each completed assignment for feedback.

Info-Course: Let’s say you have an article with 3, 5, or 7 tips. Now make each tip a training module. Each module could contain the original article with action questions, a video training, and a checklist. Include a “pre” and “post” module and you’re all set.

Paid Webinar: Turn your article content into presentation slides. Promote your webinar and charge admission. I typically charge $25 when I do this one.

Checklist: Create a checklist for whatever tips or actions you are suggesting in your content. If you can create more than one checklist from your article, that’s even better :-)
