Inside Pauls Brain

It is so near I can taste it, one of the problems I am having is that I want to keep on adding stuff to the package.
The tool is great on it’s own, but I have one more bit of software that the programmer is working on right now that I think will be a nice addition to the package. And of course you can always add one more bit of info to the package.
I find that with product creation it can be tough to know when enough is enough, there is always one more report you can write or one more video you can make.

If you have ever bought anything from me before you will know that I always offer all my new tools to people on my lists first at a greatly reduced rate. I have already set up a new list just so people can get early notification when I do release the new tool, people have already started signing up to it so I thought I would share the link here.

Pauls New Tool Notification

So what is this tool going to do?

Well it will help save you time doing..

I am suffering with idea overload a bit at the moment, I have one tool that is ready to go all but the sales page video (I did one that is 10 mins long and that is to long to expect anyone to suffer listening to me), I have just got a quote back for another one from the programmer and I have well lets say I have some other stuff to get ready to distribute..

I couldn’t decide how to promote, or whether to sell or make people sign up to get the Hyperlink Maker and in the end I decided to give it away, no sign up , no charge. So far nearly 1k people have downloaded it and I am getting sign ups to the list that is advertised in the screen that is built into the tool.
This is all a game of numbers, need lots more downloads to really make it pay, but it has been worth it for the nice emails I have received and also for the things I have learned while releasing it.

I would say that I learn something from every product launch, Comment Hut was a huge learning curve for me and I have to say it still sells today over a year later so we must have done something right.

I am wondering about different ways to monetize these products, some of them are small ones some are large ones.
Could I offer branded versions of the small tools and sell them to people so they can distribute them to their lists or use them as listbuilders or .. well I am sure people can come up with a million ideas.

I have more ideas than I can handle , the main problem I have is that I am not sure my list will withstand me releasing something new every month. So I will carry on scribbling down my ideas and look at new and inventive ways to turn ideas into income.

Ok back to work, gotta give the go ahead on the latest tool idea, and then come up with a name for it and buy some domain names.

Oh and if you would like to know one word which is the key to making money.

Free

Give a free version of everything you sell, give some stuff away free, and heck once in a while give someone on your freebie list something for free (I run surveys once in a while and give someone something).
