Yesterday I grabbed a copy of Alexis Dawes “Desperate Buyers Only“. I’ve got to admit it appealed to the lazy writer in me because although I am capable of writing a full length ebook (if I had a gun to my head),  I’m easily distracted and have literally dozens of half finished ebooks in my WIP (work in progress) folder.  I know, I feel ashamed!

The premise with Desperate Buyers Only is that you find a market desperate for a solution. Now this is nothing new as a selling tactic, as most marketers will try to cash in on a desperate buyers to generate a sale.  But what you sell them is a little different.  If people are desperate for a solution and you have some advice to offer, Desperate Buyers Only shows you how to create an infomation product that will offer a fix for their problem. In fact you don’t even have to know the fix yourself.  The method teaches you how to find it and write about it with authority … nothing new so far, right?

BUT …

These are not lenghty ebooks however.  We’re talking 20 - 50 pages max and this is where it gets interesting for me (being a lazy writer ‘n all). These products can literally be created and selling within a couple of hours.

So being curious and always up for a challenge,  I’ve decided to set myself the task for July of seeing how well Desperate Buyers Only actually works.

The three stages to my challenge will be

1.Finding desperate topic

2.Writing my desperate topic

3. Promoting my desperate topic

This is how I am thinking it will pan out. 

On Day 1 I will work on finding my niche. I want the most desperate bunch of buyers on this planet who will literally throw money at me when I put my great product in front of them!

Day 2, and 3 will be dedicated to writing my 20-ish page info-porduct. 

Day 4, I will create the sales page, report cover and all other graphics and copy needed.

On Day 5  I will begin promotion and continue to Day 10 - forum posting, blog posting, article submissions  (… maybe, as this is not a method recommended in the book) and a couple of other promotion strategies suggested.

I don’t plan to working 24/7 at this over my 10 day challenge. I don’t think it requires it. More time will be required for actually writing the product but I figure a few hours a day on some of the other tasks, such as niche research and promotion, should be sufficient.

So, I’ll go get started …

Until tomorrow …
