If you have a product or service which you would like to create, promote and market, then you need to begin by gathering your resources. Start by doing research on how to produce your own products. There are a large number of websites which can help you to create your own products for a fee.

Blogging: Start to blog on your own blogging site, and be a Guest Blogger on other bloggers' websites. In this way, you will get more visitors to your blog or website, who will be interested in what you have to offer. There are so many blogging sites available from Wordpress to Weebly to choose from among a host of others.

Books: In order to be an Expert in your field of endeavour, enterprise or business, it is essential to write a book related to your area of expertise. To begin with, you will need to do research into your topic, collect materials about the topic, and then start to write your book. You could also hire a ghost-writer to write the book for you.

Ebooks: Write and publish your own collection of ebooks on Kindle and Smashwords on your area of expertise. You have created products to sell, in this case your products are your books and ebooks.

CDs: If you record songs and lectures, then you can compile your own CDs to sell. These CDs will be the products which you can sell online, or through your own website or blog.

Webinars: The popularity of Webinars have increased ten-fold since they were introduced a few years ago. A webinar is also a good way to generate publicity and awareness for the work that you do, whether it is internet marketing or life-coaching. A webinar recording can be sold as a Product on a CD or as an Audio download.

Lectures: You can be known as an expert in your field if you give lectures in your local community and neighbourhood. You can also offer your services as a Speaker for groups and organizations, even if it is voluntary at the beginning. The lectures could be recorded and sold on CDs, or as Audio downloads to those who are interested in your lectures. This is also an excellent method to increase your audience and loyal fan base of customers, willing to buy your products and avail of your services.

Videos: Record videos of your work, product, or service and upload them onto YouTube. The YouTube video service has a worldwide audience which will be very eager to view your videos, if you fill them with interesting content, making them enjoyable to watch. This is also a very effective way to increase your visitors to your website, and number of prospective customers.

Courses: Research, compile, and create a number of lessons, grouped into modules, and offer them as a course online. To this batch of materials, you can include a collection of e-books, videos, and lectures to make the course more informative. There will be large numbers of customers who would be willing to pay in order to join your online course.

Membership sites: Create your own Membership site and offer interesting e-books and downloads to your members who join. Your membership site could be about Cooking, Recipes, Fishing, Golf, Carpentry or Philately, Life-Coaching, and Copywriting. Find a Niche or interest which you are an expert in, and create a Membership site. Your Members will be more than willing to buy your products as you are a person they know and trust as an expert in your field.

Product Creation is one of the Secrets to generating an income on the web. Do not waste time and start today by doing research on your Niche, and start the creation of your own product to offer to a hungry market of customers who will be willing to pay money for your products.
