@Donna Maher:

Donna! I thought you'd forgotten about me! Hmm, I suspect email problems?

Let's get together after next week and cook something up.

@Jan Evensen:

Happy New Year to you too Jan.

I'm sure it will fill up very quickly when people see the value of what they're getting. The special offer price will make you spit coffee if you're drinking it so make sure you aren't if you want to keep your monitor clean.

The first month's product is very slightly black hat WordPress plugin, but you know what? Buyers like stuff that's a little bit black hat, especially if it gives them an unfair advantage, and this first one certainly does that. That's all I'll say about it for now.

Next month's product is an incredibly useful tool that you'll really want to use yourself as well as sell. It will very definitely help you build your business by automating something that is usually very manual.

The plan that we currently have planned for the third monthwill have a very profitable backend built in. You'll want to distribute it as far and as wide as possible, and my guess is you'll want to give it away rather than sell it, and the more people you give it to, the more money you'll make – it's as simple as that.

We need to get that last one just perfectly right, so we may push it back to month 4, but we'd really like to get it out in month 3 if possible as it will help everybody.

@Debra:

Yes, all the products will come with at least a sales letter and unbranded site design and PSDs to begin with. My aspiration is to also provide a selection of banner graphics and a promo tools page, but there's a little bit of work to do to get to that point, maybe next month they'll be ready – as soon as possible anyway.

Renaming the product will be made easy – it's just a case of editing a file in a text editor. We also have plans to set something up server side so that you can just type in the product details in a few boxes and it will zip it all up for you in a custom bundle.

I'm releasing this 100 people only deal at a special low monthly price and when all the slots are gone, the door closes. Eventually there will be several other groups and you can join all of them if you wish, and as each one is announced I'll be allowing a short time when existing members can join at the same price they originally joined with before opening the door to affiliates and JV partners.

The FINAL price for membership of each group will be $47 / month, but the deal I'm offering to 100 fast movers will be MUCH lower than that. You'll see it's a really good deal when I announce it.

@Ron Mahon:

I have so many ideas rattling around in my head and in my ideas doc you wouldn't believe it.

The hard bit is finding out the golden nuggets and then refining them.

@Arthur Webster:

Check your email .

@Gareth Hogan:

Lol! Well thank you.

I still think there's a market for those PLR ebooks that cost $2500 as long as the author is a good one, ie high quality ghost written material is well worth it. It's a nice place to be if you can get the work.

Everything else you've said I completely agree with.

A couple of years ago you could charge $27 / month just for new ebooks with MRR, now you can just about charge that for PLR in the right niches and only if it's good enough quality.

Yes, the growing excitement in software and scripts currently seems to have no end. And you're spot on the ball with the expanding market of web designers, which just got a bit more competitive with the maturity of WordPress and tools like Artisteer.

Now, even if you don't have an ounce of artistic skill or real technical competence, you can still set yourself up to supply small businesses with WordPress based websites that your clients can edit themselves. It's very attractive to both the sellers and the buyers as it can all be done relatively cheaply.

The days of so-called "designers" selling 5 page static websites for $500 are coming to a close as almost anybody can set up a good looking site now, and with a bit of optional training can give their clients the ability to add as many pages as they like.

Very competitive.

Yes, if you have your own unique software you can sell, you're definitely setting yourself apart from the crowd as not everyone can do it.

And your point about duplicate ebooks is a great one. I've noticed more and more people saying on their ebook sales pages things like "This ebook was written by me based on my genuine experiences in the industry."

I've certainly bought a few duplicate ebooks in my purchasing career! The most memorable being a product launch ebook a few years ago, which I had almost 3 identical versions of, all "written" by different people.
