Selling an informational product from your website is worthconsidering no matter what your business is. From ebooks toaudiotapes to videotapes, the choices are varied - and many ofthem are surprisingly affordable, with all the technologyavailable to us now.

I know a woman who is a plastic surgery consultant. Although shehas lots of good informational articles on her website, herhottest product is a tape she made of interviews with doctorsregarding various procedures. It sells, directly from herwebsite, for over $20 - and sells like the proverbial hotcakes,too!

A wallpaper expert I know has a little coil-bound booklet of'Interior Decorating Tips' for sale on his website - for $10. Ittook him about 20 minutes to put the thing together, at a costof about $1.30 per book!

Have you ever thought ofcreating an instructional videotape for your site visitors? Astep-by-step visual presentation of your product or servicecould be just the goldmine your website needs.
