Is Time Really Easier to Sell than Products? Generate Extra Revenue by Packaging Up What You Know

Over the years I've worked with very many coaches and consultants who make their money by selling blocks of time.

This is great but anyone who's done it - also knows that when they stop working (and selling time) the money soon dries up too. This predicament is not only potentially dangerous, especially for smaller firms, but can leave you feeling trapped by your own success. There's often never any rest without that guilty, sinking, feeling that while you're not working you're not earning.

So, on top of selling time, I encourage people to turn their knowledge into an information product so they can earn additional money even while they're sleeping or having a well-earned rest, enjoying a hobby or reading a book.

Strangely though, many of these people who are so good at selling time come completely unstuck when it comes to doing the same with products. In fact, one high-earning coach I spoke to recently said, "I think you will find that selling products takes a lot more time and effort than selling services."

Well does he have a point?

If you're interested in turning what you know into a book, e-book, e-course or audio programme to add kudos to your main business and to bring in a bit more money each month then today's article will come in handy.

Selling products doesn't necessarily take a lot more time and effort than selling services - though the rules are very different...

If you have an appropriate plan (and a good target) it's very likely they'll be just as difficult/easy as each other - though making a lot of money quickly from products is very often harder than people think.

Making lots of money out of products does take a bit longer and it's unlikely that a handful of CDs and books will make you into an overnight millionaire as many of these "turn your knowledge into a million quid" internet marketing "gurus" would have you believe.
