Why you need a product
Yesterday was a lost day. Got up and was starting to rock and roll when someone pulled my plug. Not sure what the bug was that is going through this house but it wiped me out. Hopefully, a full day down will allow me to get back to normal but figured I better blog early in case someone pulls my plug again. Tomorrow I will be away so could not go three days in a row with out rambling here for a bit.
Enough muttering for now. Let me see if I can make my point (always a 50/50 proposition 
).
One of the good things is that a lot of my business is not dependent on my daily utterances (although they do help a lot.) This is because I use the Marlon Sanders formula of trading products for dollars not time for dollars. I do recommend you grab his free report The Best Of Marlon Sanders. His list is one you really need to be on and pay attention to as there is a lot of value there if you pay attention.
I have a variety of products and create some and use PLR for others. Some sell well and some don’t. That too is normal. Unfortunately all you hear about when people are talking is the successes and not the failures. You will actually learn more from the failures if you pay attention and learn from the mistakes you made.
It is much easier to use PLR for creating your products once you understand how to do it. Doug Champigny has a great tutorial on use PLR at PLR Tutorial Videos. This can be a very powerful way to get going. Pay particular attention to how Doug adds even more value and future sales to his products while making them unique to him.
Doug will also be launching the Free PLR Giveaway on Sunday. It is all new PLR products from a select group of marketers so you get some really good products there to convert into YOURS. More info once it launches.
So the key point in this missive today is that you really need to start creating your own products even if you just use them to build your list so you can sell others products like shown in Promo Dashboard. The one part of your business no one can copy is you and products of your own add more of you into it.
Be back on Saturday with the Week In Review and will be presenting at the Affiliate Funnel seminar Saturday at noon.
Have a great day.

I thank you for the post, I took your advice and signed up with Marlon Sanders. I already have the tutorials from Doug so I know the quality of the product. Hope you get better soon.

Mike,
Good comments on the need for a product. I have both Marlon’s and Doug’s products and highly recommend both.
Bugs are bad things, we get health bugs, computer bugs, household bugs, etc. Many are hard to get rid of, hope yours is not.

You touched on a powerful message… that we need to be focusing on creating a hands off business where we don’t need to be working everyday to make money everyday. Your right, with your own product, that can really get you there.
