If you want to turn your knowledge, passion, skills, expertise and even hobbies into a revenue stream – here is an graphic that shows you all the exciting possibilities (Share it. Print it. Put it on your wall. Let it motivate you).
Think about it.
By creating information products, you can help more people, create more leverage in your life and stop trading your hours for dollars.
Here is a little more about the types of products you can create…
Print Book: This is the big credibility builder. Nothing gives you more credibility than writing a book.
E-book: The sky is the limit with e-books. Sell directly with clickbank, sell it for Kindle owners, and much more.. 100% profit.
Audio Products: An easy product creating process. Record interviews, live teleseminars and turn them into CDs or downloadable mp3s.
Video products: Record live workshops, webinars or even power point presentations and sell them as DVDs or streaming video online.
Multi-Media Digital Products: Combine audio, video and text to create true downloadable multi-media products. You can also charge more for these products and help people with different learning styles.
Special Reports: Inexpensive chunks of content allow people to try your content without a big financial committment.
Workbooks: A great education resource. All your customers to take action and “fill in the blanks”.
Coaching Program: This is where the big money comes. High end coaching, masterminds and even online programs can command top dollar.
Live Events: When done correctly, a live event can be a massive payday. Everything from small intimate workshops to full-blown multi-day, multi-speaker bootcamps.
Association: Create your own trade association and build a fiercely loyal community.
Certifications: Turn your knowledge into a “system” and create a certification program. This can work in just about any niche.
Magazine: Print magazines are still alive – and with email open rates dropping, more savvy entrepreneurs are re-examining going back to print.
Software: Have a programmer turn your expertise into downloadable software, a web-based program or even an app.
Continuity Programs: The holy grail of marketing. Even just 1,000 rabid fans paying $19.95 per month for your program will net you $19,900 PER MONTH.
Licensing: All other people to license your products and programs for a royalty fee.
Home Study Kits: Package up your training course into a big home study kit and charge anywhere from $300 to $3,000+.
Other Publishers: If you don’t want to create your own products, consider public domain, private label products and even resell rights.
Done-For-You Services: Don’t just teach people how to fish – you can fish for them, cook the fish and even serve it to them.
There you go.
Dozens of product ideas. But the key is to pick ONE first, get it done, market it like your life depending on it, and change lives.
If you want me to coach you and show you the way to create your own online empire – this is what thousands of smart entrepreneurs choose..

thanks Ryan
any chance of a forum for IC members in the future? or is that too much work to maintain?
You are welcome.
RE: forum… It’s a possibility – but they are a lot of work to maintain.
Right now, I send my members to the Facebook page and do at least 2 live Q/A calls a month.
Rock ‘on!
Ryan

Hey Chrissa,
Thanks – I’m glad you are enjoying my content.
Happy New Year to you too!
Ryan
Ryan great overview synopsis of marketing! (PS not sure if you’d be interested but I was going to create a video for you to share with your fans/subscribers really just how I put into practice the things you’ve been teaching on your blog over the last several weeks…and how easy you make it. If you’re interested I’ll go ahead and shoot it. Thanks for all the advice Mr. Lee!)
Thanks Kevin.
And yes – I’d love to see a video of how you have put this into action!
Ryan
Thanks for this, Ryan. Lots of great ideas here, and it makes it much easier to consider the different types of products you can make, when you’ve got them out in front of you in such a clear graphic. Happy New Year!
My pleasure Julia.
Help spread the word…
And have a Happy New Year!
Ryan
Thanks Ryan! This is AWESOME!!! Just want to Thank You for all of your coaching this year! You are the Man!!! I really appreciate all you do brother! Happy New Year! The best is yet to come…
It’s been my pleasure Billy!
You are an action taker and one of the most positive people I’ve ever met in my life.
Have a Happy New Year!
Ryan
You are the MAN, Ryan!!! Just when I think you can’t provide anymore value than you already are to your subscribers and members…….you do it again and again.
Thanks again for all your great content and programs. Ryan Lee Method rocks.
Can’t wait to 2012 to crush it! Happy New Year to You & Your Family.
Hey Dan,
Thanks for the compliments… I’m just doing what I love.
I appreciate your loyalty and Happy New Year to you and your family too…
Ryan
This year, I launched a continuity program. Next year though, I’m thinking ebooks and/or video training. Maybe use the video training to complement the ebook.
Whatever you do, Ricardo, just make sure to keep on over-delivering for your customers.
Happy New Year!
Ryan
Thanks man, and well said! Current customers are always an excellent source of referrals. And you can’t beat the kind of word-of-mouth they generate if they love what you do.
Hi Ryan,
Awesome post once again Ryan! Thank you for making 2011 a fun and profitable year. Looking forward to a fantastic 2012! Best to you and the family!
Regards,
Cory
Thanks Cory!
I can’t wait to see what you have cooking in 2012…

Ryan
Friggin Awesome Ryan….Thanks!
Thanks Fazzer.
Happy New Year.
Rock’ on
Ryan
Finally, after months of quick and dirty posts that are written off the cuff, this is the first post you have done that has some real content and value to it.
Can you please respect our intelligence and stop writing stupid messages like “P.S. A lot of my “competitors” are getting nervous. Very nervous.” This is just some self-promotional fantasy in your head that undermines you being taken seriously. Get a clue: Your so-called “competitors” don’t think about you at all.
First, remember my emails and blog posts are FREE. If you don’t like my “quick and dirty posts” – then I have a really good idea… DON’T READ IT.
Ryan
P.S. There’s also a handy little “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email I send. Feel free to click it anytime so you no longer have to read my stupid “P.S’s”
:)
I think you entirely missed both the compliment and the point of the instructional feedback in the comment, regardless of whether or not your posts are free!
Love and kisses for 2012!!
R
Hey Ryan,
Wow, I never realized how sensitive you are to constructive criticism! The reader pointed out both what you did well and what you need to correct.
Seems to me you want to thank him and definitely not prompt him to unsubscribe!! That would certainly be the enlightened thing to do.
Real exchange and conversation is needed for an authentic blog, not knee jerk reactivity that betrays an insecure emotionality.
If you act like a carnival barker in your FREE e-mails, trumpeting your self-proclaimed greatness and marketplace impact on your unidentified “competitors”, you should perhaps expect some push back from people who think for themselves, right? Otherwise you end up living in a self-sealed world getting unbalanced feedback from only those who say they love you. Surely as an adult your ego can stand some real feedback without going ballistic.
Thanks for listening,
Mark
Mark,
I am always open to “constructive” criticism. The key word being constructive. I answer EVERY post on my blog – both good and bad. Some people agree with me and some do not. That’s great and I welcome everyone’s opinions (my last 2 posts had some good conversations – with many who didn’t agree with me – and that’s great).
But when people come onto my blog and say things like “stop writing stupid messages” or “get a clue” – that is not constructive, is it? it’s trying to pick a fight. Believe me, I know the difference between the two.
Or “this is the first post you have done that has some real content and value to it.” Again, it’s not a way to start an open discussion with a meaningful exchange.
I stand by my reply. I work my ass off to provide good content. If someone doesn’t like it or they don’t think it’s “real content” or provides “value” – then they should either unsubscribe. I am not forcing anyone to read my newsletters or blog posts. It is free.
If my reply felt knee jerk,you are right, it probably was. I always wear my heart on my sleeve and never hold back what I am feeling – both good and bad. But at least you never have to guess where I stand.
I’m not perfect. Not even close. And I always welcome open, honest discussions… but I have ZERO patience for negativity. None. It’s my biggest pet peeve. And I’d rather help the people who WANT IT rather than the people who will just bitch and moan (there are plenty other online forums for that).
Thanks for hearing me out :)
Ryan
Ryan, these comments are out of line. Your exactly right, you are giving your information for free, Why does Numnuts keep reading for months and months if he doesn’t like you. Hmmm – that makes sense – NOT! This is your house, show so respect!
Have a great 2012 Ryan, and thanks to introducing me to Lee McIntyre the other day. Big leap forward for me coming into contact with his systems and info (the most amazing affiliate page he has, 17 product options that he will be paying affiliates for from a $5 introductory product, this is why affiliate’s bring him 70% of his traffic! I get it know, I get it!).
Priming up here in Sydney for big new years celebrations. have you seen our harbor!? Magnifico!
Rock on mate!
Ryan you Really are the king of info product creation! Will you be at Bedros Business summit by chance? It would be an honor to treat the king to a free lunch lol. To you’re success!
To you’re success,
Travis
Hey Travis,
Thanks!
And no, I’m not going to Bedros’s event.
Keep rockin’
Ryan
Simply Brilliant Ryan! THanks
I have either attended or purchased of these ideas from you.
Warmest Regards and Happy New Year!
Mike
Thank you Mike – and I appreciate your ongoing support.
Happy New Year to you too!
Ryan
Nice, thank you Ryan.
Franck
You are welcome Franck!
Ryan
Ryan,
I have published a few print books and you are right on as far as credibility – I spoke at Harvard after publishing my book on Customer Service and the Internet.
Also, publishing a book is uber easy, I do all on them on Amazon and it only costs you the material to print a single book (atleast upon my final publication)!
Hey Mr. Business!
It’s still the best credibility builder on the planet. Hands down!
Thanks for contribyuting…
Ryan
Thanks Ryan.
Appreciate the gift.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
My pleasure Kerwin!
Ryan

This is so awesome. Reminds me of the “old” paint by numbers we had as kids. You provide such incredible, practical, easy to follow advice that nothing can beat what you offer us. I really appreciate you Ryan Lee!!!!! Wishing you and your family a very happy, healthy and blessed New Year!
Paulette
Hey Paulette,
I’m blushing :)
Thanks for your continued support – I truly appreciate it!
Happy New Year!
Ryan
Hi Ryan
Fantastic Graphic for visualisation and manifestation.
New to you and your content, but so far I like what I see.
Your name is also a combination of my two sons names so maybe I should just listen to the universe and thank them for connecting us.
Looking forward to learning some more and putting what you have to offer into practice and creating a long term association.
Cheers
