Beginner Internet Business Podcast
 

This week, our topic is information publishing. We'll be taking some more questions on the show plus featuring an interview with fitness information publisher Scott York.

Scott started out working as a fitness trainer but quickly learned that the way to wealth was Not by "trading his time for dollars". So, he decided instead go into information publishing.

He started his own publishing empire in the fitness industry by leveraging himself on someone else's name brand- that of bodybuilding legend Lee Priest.

You'll be able to hear how Scott created a publishing business by creating a reality style "DVD of the month" for Lee Priest fans.

Plus, we'll take some of the following questions: 

What software is best for creating DVD ands case covers for Kunaki? 

What info products have the highest perceived value - ebook, DVDs, or streaming video? 

How to determine if you should create a membershsip site or a Google Adsense site for your niche? 

We'll be taking these questions and more!

Selling public domain and plr works as Kindle singles. 

Juliana has a follow up question to last week's post on Selling Public Domain and PLR Products on Ebay. She wants to know if it's a great idea to use that same idea for publishing information products on Amazon as Kindle books. Sounds like a great idea right? Well it is until you read Amazon latest terms on publishing Kindle singles.

Unfortuantely for right now, Amazon has made it pretty clear that don't want "how to" books or public domain books. Probably for good reason, as they've received a  lot of junk being published as Kindle ebooks.

If you listen to the show, you'll hear my solution around this. Hint-  there is another way to publish "how to" info on Amazon without using Kindle Publishing.

Where to host membership videos. 

Daniel is starting a membership site with training videos and wants to know the best service out there for hosting his videos. We discuss Screencast.com, and Amazon S3 and why we are huge fans of S3 especially when you're using this product.

Creating Landing Pages 

Buck emailed last week and is wanting to create a landing page for his company's site and add it to his existing website in a subdirectory. We'll explain how he can do this and why we recommend this powerful new plugin for creating it.

WAV or MP3 

Brian wants to know which format is best to go with when purchasing royalty free music clips from sites like MusicBakery and Pond5. We'll offer Brian our opinion of which works best for creating background music for video production.

Yes, we'll be tackling these questions and more with all the gusto of a linebacker trying to send Peyton Manning into early retirement. No hard feelings that's he's now a Bronco....(grrr.).

As always, thanks for listening each week, stay tuned for our upcoming blog posts, and have a great week!

Peter McDermott will be joining us on the show this week to discuss the value of Google+, and answer some questions I'm sure many us have had:

  • Is it worth bothering with another social network for your business, especially if you already have your customers’ attention?
  • Is this +1 thing really going to do anything for your website, or is it just another “social action” for your readers and customers to click?
  • Who uses Google+ and what's the big advantage to using it?
