61. Collectible Information - You would ask an information product seller to convert it into a collectible information product for a percentage of the profits. You could sell it as a print edition with autograph, add collectible bonuses, add a limited edition chapter, etc.

62. Try Before You Buy - You would ask writers and authors if you could sell their information product as a ‘Try Before You Buy Offer’ in exchange for a percentage of the profits. Many merchants don’t like that because the rate of return is a higher. It requires extra customer service that you could provide. This could be offered as one part of a CD-ROM, DVD, a print publication, etc. Much like a sampler with limited usage.

63. Affiliate Managing - You would ask an information product seller to allow you to manage his affiliate program and sales tracking for a percentage of the profits.

64. Public Domain Information - You would create an information product using public domain information. You want to make sure the information you are using is really public domain so you don’t into any legal trouble. Public domain means property rights that belong to the community at large, are unprotected by copyright and are available to anyone. You would repackage them; perhaps give a new title also.

65. Sample Information - You would ask authors for samples of their information products in exchange for free publicity. You would then combine them into one big information product.

67. Story Information - You would ask writers for their fiction or non­fiction short stories in exchange for free publicity. It could be success stories, children stories, fiction stories, etc. For example, I’m currently compiling an e-book that will contain 5 short stories on how people decided to start their own business.

68. Top Lists - You would ask people or experts their opinion of important topics to your audience in exchange for free publicity. For example: ‘10 Ways To….’, the ‘Top 20 Gardening Tips’, the ‘Top 5 Easiest Ways To….’, etc.

69. Personal Rolodex - You would reveal your personal rolodex of web sites, bookmarks, contacts, etc. that are related to your target audience. For example: a rolodex of good or bad e-zines for a particular purpose, for instance, for advertising.

They could be organizational forms, results forms, legal forms, etc. You could also make them printer ready.

77. Out-Of Print - You would find out of print information products and ask the publishers to sell them in exchange for an up-front fee or a percentage of the profits. You wouldn’t have to write anything and you might offer to convert it into another format.

78. Announce Lists - You would start an announce list where people subscribe to the list so as to get important announcements related to their preferences. The subscribers would set the content for their particular list. For example: an announce list about new free ezines. Other ideas would be news alerts, safe lists, product announcements, etc.

79. Information Product Ideas - You would sell your information product ideas instead of creating the product. You could sell them for an up-front fee or royalty on all the sales.

80. Best Of Information - You would ask authors and publishers to contribute the best of their information in exchange for free publicity. For example, you could use the best bits and pieces of e-zines. There are so many e-zines, people don’t have time to read them all. They want a quick way to get all the information.
