The fastest way to turn your passion into profit
is to create a book/ebook or audio program containing your experience
or expertise. The Bestseller Project is your opportunity to work directly
with me in a coaching environment to create such a product(s). Who
knows? You might just have a bestseller hiding in your passion!
(Even if you already have a passion-centered product or service,
adding "author of________" next to your credits will only serve
to increase your credibility and company cash-flow.)
Everyone has a passion.
Everyone has a passion--a unique interest talent, gift, expertise, cause or mission in life.
Everyone has a unique personal life experience and story to tell.
Every passion has value.
By virtue of having that unique passion, or that unique story,
you automatically have expertise and and experience that few others have. That translates
into something of unique value.
The fastest and easiest way to turn that value into profit and
start making money quickly is to create a book or audio based on it that customers
can purchase, (and in the case of and ebook or MP3) download right away.
That product can create income that keeps coming year after year
With the right guidance, your personal experience or expertise
could be transformed into the next bestselling autobiography, "how to"
manual (paperback/ebook) or audio (CD/MP3) that informs, inspires,
entertains or educates the world, and creates residual streams of
income for you for the rest of your life!
I know, because I've done it.
My name is Walt Goodridge, author of Turn Your Passion into Profit as
well as a dozen other books/audios/manuals. My products now sell on Amazon.com, in Barnes & Noble, Borders,
bookstores around the world, several affiliate websites, and have been selling continuously since
I wrote the first one in 1992. As a result
of my success as a self-published author, I walked away from the corporate world in 1995, launched the internet
side of my business in 1997, and created residual streams of income
that have sustained me ever since, allowing me to live my dream of seeing world,
and living life as a "nomadpreneur."
But the best part is
not only have I done it for myself, I've helped a few other people start to create their own
dreams too!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE I'VE HELPED
(Check out their products at www.passionprofit.com/passionsellers)
Ken Greene
turned his chilling 911 experience and personal analysis of its
social impact and aftermath into a compelling
book with a story to make others think, and has earned him
recurring invitations to speak at 911 commemorations.
Jill Harrington
turned her personal triumph over lupus into a guide book for others.
Kamau Austin
turned his passion for computers and things internet into a thriving
business doing design and consulting to fortune 500 companies. His
books and audio help others maximize their success online.
Andrew Morrison
built a business to over a million dollars in sales before
his 30th birthday. He was featured on a special Oprah episode profiling
similarly gifted entrepreneurs. His books and audio now help others
follow in his footsteps.
Joseph Youngblood
turned his passion for hip hop trivia into the first of a series
of hip hop trivia books and games.
Barbara Sher
turned her expertise in child development into a series of books
parents can use to help their kids grow and develop smarter!
Tim Faska
US citizen, and Chinese-born wife Lana went through the arduous process of
getting her permanent US resident status ("green card"). They compiled a
manual to help
other couples do the same thing.
What all these people had in common (besides my help), was certain expertise
or a unique experience that we were able to put in the form of books and cds
that they are now selling.
A TEMPLATE YOU CAN USE
In doing this now for several years, I've developed a template
that I use to help new clients duplicate my own and other passionpreneurs' success.
And it doesn't matter what your passion is. As long as you have one,
the fun part is figuring out how to make your product compelling enough
for others to purchase.
