This article is the answer to a great question I was asked two days ago. The question was, "I am starting a business and my idea is to host teleseminars. At present, I don't have tons of stuff to offer but I would like very much to give away bonus gifts and this way to attract people to my seminars. Can you suggest some great gifts that are also easy to create?" Here is what I answered:
Audio is very, very simple and that if you have experience or a knowledge base surrounding a certain topic, it is way easier for you or for me and to get on the phone and teach people about it or have somebody ask you questions and you just answer them because you already have a knowledge base surrounding that topic area.
An audio recording can be used for many different purposes. You can use it without any modification and give it to people to download or you can transcribe it and convert it into an eBook, a special report or something in that line. Or you can pack the audio file and the eBook and make a physical product out of it.
My preferences go to audio in usable form or shape and the best way to get it is via teleseminars. There was a period of time, when I was in product creation mode and I was doing a teleseminar weekly. My idea was to create as many products as I could. That's why I did teleseminars on many different topics, recorded them all and then I gave them to be transcribed.
Now I have many products and I can use them in many different ways. The easiest way is to directly sell the product. Another approach is to offer the products as bonuses - either as part of an affiliate offer, or as a bonus for some of the packages I sell.
Recording an audio is the fastest and easiest way to create products, which I can use both as content and as bonuses. Teleseminars are great because all those people who listen to you live appreciate the information and you can also sell the content. Actually, teleseminars are a unique combination - you create bonuses and content and you get paid for that.
Teleseminars are a speedy way to create content because the information just pours. You don't have to sit down and think and get angry when you can't think of something great. But even if you feel you can't come up with brilliant ideas, you can always interview somebody - just write 10-12 questions and if the answer to each question is 5 minutes long, you have a 60 minute video.
Another great idea to create content and bonuses easily is to write tip series. Tips are easy to absorb and readers love them.
Let's say you are an expert in some area. Sit down and write the best 10 or 20 tips. You can add more stuff to the tips later. Tips are easy to distribute - one tip per page is a great way to give them to your customers.
Another really good and valuable resource or bonus that you can offer is checklist. People love checklists because what happens is you are condensing all the information into a very usable format. Checklists are a very appealing bonus because it prevents people from having to go through all the information. They get it all distilled down in a step by step format
Of course, there are many more bonus ideas you can think of. However, if you want to be productive, it is very important that you reuse your work. In the case of teleseminars, no matter if you personally did it or you interviewed somebody else, the real value is that you have created the product from it. - 16069
