Once you’ve written a book or ebook, there are several other products you can create very quickly directly from it that will exponentially increase your profits with very little work. And most authors overlook one or more of them so here they are: audios, special reports, ecourses, video-coaching programs, and high-end coaching programs.

The easiest thing to do after you’ve written your book or ebook, is to record it. It only takes as long as it takes to read it. Then, you’ll want to edit it. And, if you want to, you can find royalty-free music and add music to your intro and outro or have someone do it for you. You’ll also need a CD cover if you want to deliver it as a physical product, and a 3D graphic representation of it for both a CD and/or download. (You can find them at www.fiverr.com for $5 each if you’re short on cash.)

Next, you can create special reports. These can be free or low-cost reports that are used as lead generators to create interest in your book or ebook. What I suggest doing is, looking through your completed manuscript for a whole section that can stand alone. If you find one but you think it has too much good information in it, then you can remove some of it. All, it takes is copying the section into a new word document, creating a new, eye-popping title, and having a cover created and it’s ready to go!

Or, you can take the idea from a section and rewrite it, if you don’t want it to be the exact text as in your book or ebook. These can be created in a couple of hours since you already have all the information you need to do it.

Another great way to create a new product from your book or ebook is to turn it into an ecourse. You can chunk it into lessons, in which case, you would charge for it. Or, you can chunk it into lessons and remove some of the details and give it for free as a lead generator. (Or, give part of it in lessons as a lead generator.) It shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours to remove the text you want to take out and upload it into an auto responder sequence or hire someone to do it for you-which is what I recommend you do.

You can also up sell people from your book or ebook to an ecourse, in which case you should add additional information to the ecourse version. And again. This shouldn’t take more than a few hours to complete.

You can also take your chapters and turn them into a video-coaching program. You can either talk each lesson into a webcam or video recorder. (Be sure to use a teleprompter, so you don’t look like you’re reading it.) Or, you can use PowerPoints, in which case you just add them to the audio that you’ve hopefully already created. Or, again, hire someone to do it for you! You can also add music and/or graphics to your presentation.

And my favorite-turn your book or ebook into a high-end coaching program. It’s actually already done! You just have to recognize it. It’s there in your Table of Contents! And it can sell from $997 to $2500 for group coaching and $2,000 to $5,000 or more for individual coaching-as long as it’s a “How-to”

Turn each chapter into a module or lesson. Add an action plan at the end of each one and a study guide with an answer sheet and you’re in business!

Each book or ebook you write can be turned into a whole funnel of products for your business with very little effort. So, make it easy on yourself, and create several from every ebook or book your write! You’ll work less, make a lot more, and get your message out to a lot more people!

Author 101 University is a must attend event for authors who are serious about making it in publishing.

I’ve told Rick Frishman that the “101” title is misleading. This has become a networking event that we go back to again and again.

The next one is March 3-6 in LA. I’ll be shooting video segments for my TV show.

Time will be tight, so I’m giving priority to my readers. You do have to be attending Author 101. If not, we’ll have other opportunities announced here in the future.

To get on the schedule, leave a comment below and let me know you’ll be there.

Author 101 is Sold Out

Last I heard, the event is sold out. Publishers, agents, book marketing professionals and authors gathering like this has a tendency to draw a crowd fast.

If you don’t have a ticket, but want to come and be in a video. let me know. I may be able to get a ticket. (leave a comment with your and I’ll email you privately).

While researching content to contribute to RealJobsWriting, a new blog for writers who want to make money from home we found this:

Here’s a video on how to make money from writing. Some general ideas about what is possible for a writer who want to be paid for writing.

Faster Path to Making Money

With some research and an investment in time, you can find many places that buy your writing. With some trial and error, you can do it yourself.

I’ve found one resource that cuts the learning curve and provides fast help to those wanting to sell their writing. If you want to make money from home with your writing, try the button below:

I’ve just lined up a special FREE webinar this week for authors or anyone with a idea to share.

Willie Crawford is a legend in the Internet info-products industry. He’s been creating and selling information products based on books, or just information and ideas from experts like you.

Here is a partial outline of topics that we will cover in this webinar:

I stopped best selling author Jim Kukral in the hall at Blogworld Expo to get his ideas on how authors can build a business by getting attention.

Jim’s book ATTENTION! This Book Will Make You Money is full of ideas that will help any author get attention for your message and sell more than a few books

I help authors sell books, build a business and take their messages to the world.

We do that in two ways here.. a lot of free information on the web, and high paid clients. Unless I get a crazy idea to test new software and give away the paid consulting.

I am trying out a new webinar system for my private coaching sessions. So you get this same ME, hopefully a great show, and the fun of watching me bumble through with new technology (OK.. you can get that anytime)

The only catch.. I’m just doing this ONCE.. it will NOT BE RECORDED (no evidence if I screw up) and it is on SHORT NOTICE.

Friday at Noon Eastern (9am Pacific) on July 16th (yes, that is tomorrow.. I did say SHORT NOTICE)

Grab a slot here –> Warren’s free coaching session

I’m going to share some new tests from what is working on FACEBOOK, how partners are getting 10x the publicity on the MEGA SUCCESS DAY promo for next week and other freebinarific advice. I may talk about Twitter if you twist my arm.

I will answer ANY question… show any secret site.

You can still ask your question in a comment, on Twitter or whatever.. but you won’t get the real live me with a mouse in my hand showing you exactly what YOU need to succeed unless you register here

I was cleaning up a blog post comment list. The usual deletions, the off topic sales pitch and of course the one line messages that say “I don’t know if I agree” to pretend that they had read the post.

Then I saw this:

The comment was on a post about “Cheesy Joke Day” where I solicited jokes from Twitter followers and got comments with some of the cheesiest jokes possible and a lot of conversation on Twitter… so we can be pretty certain that the above quote is not from someone that read the post.

However, I had to share the comment here… and wonder. “How much does this writer get paid?”

I’m not sure if I’d want this kind of style for any legitimate project, but maybe I could get him to write thank you notes? :)

If anyone tells you they have a team who can “be you on social media” please remember this is the best I’ve seen and say “no one but me gets to be me”

The other day, we had Peter Winick on the Profitable Social Media radio show.

Peter is the brains behind so huge best selling books, and specializes in strategies to sell lots of book and turn your content into a substantial income.

Here’s a clip from the show where I Peter talks about what he does. If you listen for a few minutes, you’ll also hear another guest, Pat Obryan, volunteer to have us talk about expanding his platform.

Peter and I want to help more authors and combined our talent to put on a series to you authors make a lot more money from your content, without a huge start up cost.

You put so much into your book.

Not just the time it takes to write and edit, not just the publishing and promotion and marketing of your book. The content in your book represents you, your life experience and everything your had up to the release of your book.

That’s a sizable investment.

Many of our most successful authors report that an audio CD product based on their book has produced more income, created more opportunities for the author and reached people that would have never gotten around to reading their book.

I believe that any author can easily create an audio CD information product from their book, so I’ve asked my friend Mike Stewart, the Internet Audio Guy, to come on a FREE Webinar this week and show you how.

There is no charge for this event. You see, Mike has the contacts and the technology to produce instant audio and video. He has built relationships with hundreds of online entrepreneurs and supplies equipment, software and services for their studios. If you decide you want to buy equipment to make better audio and video, Mike is the guy to see.

But here’s the SECRET.

We know you you will buy from people that you know, like and trust. We don’t need to give you a sales pitch.. in fact both Mike and I have found that most of what you need is in the computer you already own, and you don’t need a high pressure sales pitch when you are ready for new stuff. We’d rather see that you are profitable from the start.

So here’s my promise to you…

Register for the webinar for free. I’ll be there with Mike and we will pour in every bit of information we can. Including STEP BY STEP instructions on how you can produce your own income producing audio CD programs. If you’d like, we’ll let you know how to get more from Mike. If not, we just hope you’ll tell your friends that Warren and Mike give real value when they teach a class.

Here’s how you register.

1. Make sure you have a computer to connect to the webinar. A Windows or Mac will work fine.
2. Click on this link to get your codes. We will have an interactive presentation, so seats are limited and you do need the code to get in.
3. When you click you will see the screen below. Just give us your name and email so we know who is in the session

If you have a question about the program, you can ask in a comment here and I will personally answer.

The training is completely free. All you need is a computer with a live Internet connection.

guest post by Michael Volkin

Authors can have a variety of extracurricular activities. Depending on how involved the author wants to be with his/her book, radio shows, speaking tours and other activities can create extra income. Each of these activities could have a sponsor associated with it.

For example, if you have an online radio show at BlogTalkRadio.com, you could have sponsors advertise on your show. Doing this is a great compliment to book sales and can provide a good source of income.

A good sponsor will not only pay you, but also help you sell books, so the partnership might be beneficial in more ways than one. To find a sponsor, I would recommend going to the website GetYourSponsor.com, simply fill out a profile and other companies or entities wanting to provide a sponsorship might see a match.

I have a couple sponsors that even asked tosell my Social Networking for Authors, books for me! It doesn’t get any better than that.

A few years back, I helped an author become an instant best seller with his book Think Two Products Ahead. It topped the Amazon Best Seller List for non-fiction for a week and was #2 overall (beat only by the wizardy of Harry Potter)

Through that process, I got to know an extraordinary man named Ben Mack.

We’ve become friends and now mastermind together on projects large and small.

How You Can Join A Mastermind And Make Your Book A Best Seller

I’ve been working with legendary brand-marketing genius Ben Mack with his new weekly 7-Person mastermind groups and I see how this what we need to do, you and me.

Ben Mack is a guy who sold $250 MILLION worth of yo-yo’s and was a VP at Cingular where we had a $500 MILLION marketing budget.

WOWZERS!

So you know that his strategies work BIG and if you want to learn more about how I’m applying this to authors you will join us Saturday to learn the exact details about how a small 7-person mastermind with me can get you the success for your book you deserve.

This isn’t a coaching thing — this is you getting a chance to be in a peer-mastermind group with me.

This is especially for authors wanting to start writing a new book or have a book about to be published.

Ben & I will announce details on our teleseminar Saturday at 9am Pacific / Noon Eastern

You will want to get on this call — Click now for details

YOU KNOW getting this kind of hands-on coaching on making your book profitable from the start is what will ensure you are best prepared to get your book the best seller sales you deserve.

It’s time to get to getting your book done right,

Are you one of the tens of thousands of people who lost their job this year? At first glance, losing your job might look like the worst thing that has ever happened to you.

Dr.Mani, the infopreneur/heart surgeon, has written a fantastic book called

“THINK, WRITE & RETIRE : How To Turn Words Into Wealth – Easily!”

It has received glowing testimonials from great business owners around the world.

What’s even nicer about it is that ALL Profits From Book Sales Will Go To Fund a Child’s Heart Surgery!

When you buy a copy of “Think, Write & Retire” on launch day, August 25th, 2009, you will not only get a nice guide to becoming an infopreneur – You’ll Also Be Helping A Child Live

And to make that decision a ‘no-brainer’, Dr.Mani is throwing in some bonuses, gifts and goodies with a retail value of over $600 when you order his book on launch day.

The idea is to rocket it on to Amazon.com’s HOT 100 list, get more visibility for it, and in the process, raise more money for charity.

YOU can be a part of this event – order your copy from Amazon.com today, then pick up your gifts at http://budurl.com/manibook

My friend Ross Goldberg put on Internet Marketing seminars.

I’ve spoke at Ross’s events before, and seen how he delivers three action packed days of training.

Many of my readers have been to the Master’s Seminars, but others have said that the time away from home and expense of traveling makes it difficult to attend.

So you’ll be glad to know that Ross has a new way to experience this exclusive traing for under $10

Read about the virtual seminar deal and grab a seat before Ross sell this out.

I’ll be speaking on what it take to get your own book and online social marketing program as part of the program.

The Internet Marketing event in Atlanta this week brought hundreds of marketing professionals together to discuss the best practices for marketing books and websites.

BestSellerAuthors.com is just one of the many web sites featured in the training where we used social media like Twitter.com and out Twitter radio show to talk to the experts.

Here’s Warren Whitlock‘s goodbye from Atlanta.

The next Big Seminar will be in Las Vegas
