Why Information Products Are So Great

If you are considering starting your own Internet business and are looking for the 'right' product, you should seriously consider information products. Information products for the scope of this discussion are those that exist in digital format. Examples include ebooks, software, audio products, and video products. You must understand that information is very valuable. If you knew how to cure cancer, that information would be very valuable to millions of people. Just the same, it would not be valuable at all to a healthy person who knew no one that had cancer. Matthew Lesko has made millions providing people with information about free government grants. There are several reasons why information products are great. First, they are free or at least very cheap and easy to create. You need the ideas in your head, a computer, and some low cost software. You can create your information product from anywhere and at anytime. Information products can be created in a short period of time. You can easily create a great selling ebook in less than one week. Imagine if you were to invent a new widget that you wanted to sell. You would have to develop the prototype, talk with a patent attorney, file with the U.S. Patent Office, visit with manufacturers, visit with marketing representatives, and so on. This process could take weeks, months, or even years. Also, with information products you have an unlimited inventory. Imagine the raw materials, labor, shipping, and merchandising that would be required to sell one million of your new widgets. Now imagine creating your own ebook, hosting it on your web server, and allowing your customers to purchase and download your ebook one million times. Since information products are created and stored in digital format, it can be copied over and over again without the headaches of physical products. Information products can provide you with a great business opportunity, especially if you plan to market on the Internet.
