I am a good objection smasher.
Here’s one you may secretly have:
“Woods, I get why I want to create my own product, and I get why digital products are so great: they cost nothing to duplicate, they can be delivered automatically, they involve no physical inventory — I get it.”
“But I’m not an expert. So how can I teach anyone anything?”
Here’s the secret.
You don’t have to be the world’s foremost expert on whatever your subject is.
You just need to know more than your reader does.
Example: you probably think you’re an average Internet user.
But suppose you’re introducing the Internet to someone who’s never used it. To that person you’re an astonishing whiz, clicking and navigating like a pro.
You know how to look things up, check the weather, read the news, post a video on social media, read email, send someone a document — and on and on.
To you, this seems like no big deal. But see why a genuine beginner would consider you a wizard?
So that objection won’t work. Plenty of people far less intelligent than you have built up nice side income streams, and sometimes even entire occupations, generating digital products.
This presentation, available for a couple more days, shows you how it’s done.
The guy presenting it has sold $100,000,000 in digital products. I think he’s worth learning from.

I’ve got a guy who’s sold in the nine figures (that’s $100,000,000) in digital products whose whole life says yes.
Now while I’ve never jumped on the avoid-college-at-all-costs bandwagon, a lot of degrees are obviously an expensive waste of time.
I also think that just because someone didn’t go to college doesn’t mean he can’t have a lot to teach me. My father didn’t finish high school, and only got his GED in his mid-40s, and yet he was one of the most informed people I knew.
The guy I mentioned at the outset is the virtually undisputed master of the digital product world. I think he knows what he’s talking about.
(Ebooks, video courses, audio courses, webinars, membership sites — these are all digital products.)
He started with — of all things — an eBook on dating.
Sales trickled in here and there. But he kept at it, and the book began generating serious revenue — all of which he could keep for himself.
(His biggest revenue day came the day he increased his book’s price by 33%, by the way.)
He went on to create ten separate businesses around digital products, and he took each of those companies to at least seven figures.
So, yeah, this guy didn’t go to college — but so what? You should hear him out. Generating additional income streams via digital products sure beats crossing your fingers that you won’t get handed that pink slip.
He’s giving a presentation on how to go from no idea at all to a complete and successful digital product.
Watch the whole presentation and you’ll get two complimentary goodies: his eBook How to Create a Digital Product that Sells Itself, plus his one-page Digital Product Blueprint.

You may have heard of a book by Harry Browne called How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.
Today we’re faced with a world that’s not just unfree. It’s downright insane.
The very people who warn about brownshirts in the streets and the incitement of violence are themselves beating people up and destroying property. Even Starbucks, which is run by a leftist — which goes to show there’s no appeasing these people.
Meanwhile, CNN with a straight face reported the incident as involving “extremist Milo Yiannopoulos” (no editorializing there!), and said he was rallying “white supremacists.”
We are living in an Orwell novel and a Kafka novel, combined together.
It’s demoralizing. Let’s be honest.
I’m already doing everything I can do, which isn’t much: I write about and publicize these incidents, and in my Liberty Classroom I’ve created a way people can learn non-p.c. history and economics without the arson and the beatings.
Having done what one person can do, I have to remove myself from the situation, mentally and spiritually.
Same with you.
The world may have gone insane, but you still have plenty of opportunities to create the life you want. That was Harry Browne’s message.
Part of that life you want involves doing something you love, adding to your financial security, and not having to do things you hate.
It involves not relying, precariously, on one income stream.
It’s something I’ve been telling you about this week.
Grab your insurance against the pink slip:

“Hey, Tom,” said a marketing genius I know — we’ll call him Merlin — back in early 2011. “How are you monetizing your website?”
“You have a following,” Merlin said. “So what’s your monetization strategy?”
My reply? “Well, I, uh, belong to the Amazon affiliate program, so I earn $1.50 or so every time someone buys a book through my link….”
You should have seen his horrified face.
I kid you not: right there, on the spot, he flat-out TOLD me what I should be doing. I should create a digital product based on my strengths.
It was pretty obvious after he said it, but trust me, it wasn’t obvious before.
After I created that product my life was far less insane, financially precarious, and uncertain.
But Woods, you say, of course I’d like to do the same, but what would I do, and how would I do it?
Answer: brainstorm with your own Merlin.
I happen to have a link to him:

My kids and I recently watched the Back to the Future trilogy.
We thought the second one, where they travel to the future, was particularly interesting: how much did they get right about the future?
For the movie, the future seems to be all about hoverboards and flying cars, and people speaking on big screens.
Well, we got the big screens thing, but, um….
The Jetsons, for their part, imagined that people might be able to communicate with each other via a video screen, but you’d have to be sitting in a certain chair and the screen was nailed to the wall.
That was the future.
Nobody seems to have conceived of anything like the Internet.
It was all flying: flying cars, spaceships, whatever.
Much less did they imagine this truly bizarre thing: that someone could deliver intangible products while sleeping.
Ever stopped to think about what that means?
I wake up every day to discover how many people purchased my primary digital product (Liberty Classroom) during the night.
Once you create a digital product (a course, an ebook, a video series, whatever), it costs nothing to duplicate. It can be sold and delivered while you’re asleep.
Now THAT sounds like science fiction.
I personally think it’s where you should start.
Oh, but Woods, I don’t know what to create! And even if I did, creating things is something other people do!
Has that way of thinking gotten you where you want to be?
Then chuck it.
Buckle down, and learn how to do this:
