Default Pubbers, reach for wallets, cards, paypal.

3 things to see.

Buy one, or all, if you want to see what a first HOTSHEET style information product looks like.

Now that they have something in the market, we'll develop a long term strategy, and chances are, these first projects may not have anything to do with what we plan to go ahead with.

Got bad knees like Me?

Want 10 Million like Jim Carrey?

Business Card Connections Hotsheet

Link here as soon as I get it.

These are the type of quick and easy little information products which can get you off to a fast start. I allow 10 days from the decision on the topic to having it posted in the marketplace. Allowed a bit more for the holidays.

Going forward, 10 days from the time we agree upon a topic to have the product and promotion ready to go. I do this to get off to a fast start.

To overcome procrastination, and overthinking. Once a person sees what an Hotsheet type or mini report looks like, they think, "Oh, I can do that, and do a better job than Gordon." Yes, yes you can.

You can do a better job than me because you know the subject matter better than I do.

So this is the fast start 10 day result, as you will see if you buy one or a couple of them...GOOD information, auto vended, low cost, huge markets all that. If you have feedback about any of the PROMOTIONS, we'd love to hear what you think.

Default Why I no longer trade my time for dollars.

It is almost SOP, Standard Operating Procedure, to have a consultancy at a high price attached to many HOW TO products.

I've done it. It works. It can be lucrative,

And it is also TIME CONSUMING. It has been a decade since they put the stent in my heart and I didn't even know I was having the "widow maker" heart attack, just had an upset stomach...

So, it gave me time to reflect on how my time was spent, and look at the stressors, which I believed then, I didn't really have any. Surprise.

Today, people, that is working directly with them is a part of the SLOP AND MESS which I avoid.

I bring this up, BECAUSE...it looks like many of you want to add the consulting TIME FOR MONEY part to your information empires.

My advice, depends.

If you are younger, say below 50, then giving your time for dollars may be the better choice, if you are over 50, my best advice is...AVOID it if you can.

If you do choose to do it, then find some good role models, examples: like a set time weekly for your GROUP and let them ask their questions then, as opposed to being available to them as they want.

Control your time. That is my point.

Now we just have completed the first post holiday round of INFORMATION empire building, with a goal to get you to 5 thousand bux a month by the end of the year. And this is done by starting slow, assessment, testing, and then scaling up.

The single most important thing is to find your voice and the group who wants to hear it. Simple, albeit, not so easy. May take months just to get to that point, but once you have your "tribe" and they like your voice, then they gladly give you some value in exchange for it, see?

I don't have any problems with YOU doing the time for money thing, but as we are planning into the future, we also want to explore how we can get the same results without all the slop and mess. Maybe there is a smarter way than to give up your time, and it may be continuous INFORMATION, delivered in a wide variety of ways.

Sort of the whole idea of selling INFORMATION, in MY mind is to get away from the selling, and get to that AUTOMATIC PRODUCT VENDING stage, when you peruse GUMROAD markets, you will see thousands of digital products in the their vending machines.

And Gumroad is just one of the many Platforms/Marketplaces out there.

So THINK through the plan, which is what we are doing now with the INFORMATION empire building.

Default One of scores of info products, never seeing daylight.


The sales copy...

I lost 10 pounds in 22 days stuffing my mouth with delicious waffles.

I had a reunion in a month, and I wanted to lose weight fast. Instead of starving myself to thinness, I ate, ate and ate some more. The more I ate, the more weight I lost.

Magic? NO. Because I was eating delicious and nutrient loaded waffles, I wasn't hungry, had a lot more energy and actually enjoyed trying new recipes.

You'll need a mini waffle iron, and my recipe book. You can shop Amazon or Google for the best price on the small waffle iron, I paid less than ten bucks for mine at Walmart.

How can stuffing your piehole with these "carbs" help you lose weight?

By NOT using standard and regular waffle recipes.

It is easy, if you are motivated. I make a breakfast waffle, some for lunch, dinner, and snacks. Each type of Waffle is different, and go from sweet to tangy, spicy and savory. I show you how to make your own healthy waffle mix...and include recipes for Vegans, pizza lovers, Low fat, diabetes (I have Type II), and specialty waffles for those with diverticulous and celiac.

Wheat free, fat free, sugar free...or loaded with sweetness, you can eat a waffle several times a day and lose weight and if you exercise, becuase you will have the caloric energy to do so, if you exercise and eat delicious waffles, you'll be amazed at how fast the fat falls off.

Here are ten recipes, of the more than 50 recipe variations ln the pdf file you'll download in a moment:

Sausage or Bacon Breakfast
Blueberry muffin like
Cinnamon Crunch
Pizza to Order
Taco and burrito style
Hamburger and Cheeseburger
Potato and Onion
Oatmeal and dates.
Quinoa and Pumpkin
Sorghum and Barley
Sound yummy?

I love to eat, and maybe even a little bit like Oprah, I like bread. But eating bread and losing weight, well, good luck with that O. But Waffles, which are like a piece of Texas Toast, and stuffed with delicious combinatitons fulfill are your cravings for carbs.

And because you can custom create waffle varieties for your specific health needs, you can stay healthy, while eating all you want and even find joy in coming up with new recipes (which I will buy from you if you do).

This little ten dollar waffle iron was the best buy I've ever made for my kitchen which includes George Foreman grills, Instapots, Convection Microwave, steamers, pressure cookers, slow cook crock pots.

Honestly, almost all of those devices don't get very much use these days. I spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, football game on the screen, while I prep for the week, and make a whole bunch of waffles to be used throughout the week. I can freeze them if I want, but mostly just keep them in the fridge in a plastic container with a lid.

Then, just pop them into the toaster over, or toaster, or even microwave for a few seconds, and I have my meals.

A "meal" for me, is normally 3 waffles. I like a savory, then a veggie, and then a "sweet" waffle. Normally I am full after that.

But then, I make snack waffles to nibble on throughout my day, my favorite is oatmeal raisin "cookie waffle" You'll find the recipe in the book.

********************************************.***** ********8
Just showing some of the info, never brought to market, and the stored value of my cooking experiences, which includes 3 schools, submarine, train, church, restaurant, catering, soup kitchen...and survival...

Is just not going to get shared

LISTEN, I preach stored value, and although I've gotten some of it to the market place, MOST of it is never going to get there.

What I would have done differently, is I might have licensed it, or done a JV where I would have gotten an ongoing small % of sales.

So, do as I say, as well as I do...but even I don't do as much as I can.

What are you storing away for the casket?

Default I agree with you on that!

Hi Gordon,

I agree with you on trading time for dollars with consulting...

I've done it many times, in different ways...

But you're right. At least for me, it's often STRESSFUL (even though it can be lucrative)...

I would still do it, if the pay was high enough, and if the project was interesting enough... But keep in mind that it may not be the best for your health, at least while you're doing it...

Best wishes!

Dien
