Everywhere I Stick My Nose I Make Money Or, How to Turn Personal Experiences Into E-Books

One day Bill Hibbler challenged me to write an
article titled, "How to Turn Personal Experiences Into
E-Books."
Bill had been present when Pat O'Bryan walked in
one day and jokingly said he wanted to write a book
about the myth of passive income. I didn't think it
was funny. I thought it was a product. That became

Same thing happened thirty years ago when someone
in one of my writing classes said they didn't4 have time
to write a book. That lead to me teaching a seminar on
how to write your own book in six days. And that led to
the bestselling e-book Jim Edwards and I have out at
http://www.7dayebook.com
Months ago Amy Janota came to visit me. She had no
idea how to make any money online but heard I had been
doing it. As we talked, I heard that she had taught
herself how to play the guitar in two days. I
recognized a product. She turned that into an e-book.
Someone later bought the rights to it from her for
$10,000. See http://www.strippeddownguitar.com
When Nerissa and I bought cute James Bond like
gadgets that could take video, photos, and audios, and
I had no idea what to do with mine, I told her to
write a book on 101 ways to use your camcorder.
It's now at http://freevideoediting.com/camcorder.html
When Scott Lewis and I were sharing our excitement
for the glitter and gold of Las Vegas, I suggested we
write a book about their marketing secrets. It's now at

When my late ex told me she wanted to find a way to
get more money into her life, I thought about her love for
make-up. I urged her to write a little e-book on the
subject. She did. It's still for sale at
http://www.mrfire.com/beauty.html
I could go on and on. I see opportunities
everywhere. People who hang around me for even an hour
often walk away with an e-product idea I spotted.
For example, one night we had dinner with a
musician and a writer. The musician just wanted to
write music. The writer just wanted to write children's
stories. They didn't see a match, let alone a product.
"Why don't you combine and create a multi-media
e-book for kids?" I asked. "She writes the story and
you write the music. Kids can play it on their
computers, reading, listening to music, and turning
the pages with a click."
His eyes bulged and he said, "How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Come up with that idea."
"I see them everywhere," I said.
And I do. Whenever someone says they have a
problem, I hear an opportunity. When people complained
about having to type their emails, I found a programmer
and created software that lets you speak and send your
emails. It's at http://www.SpeakandSend.com
I'm not special. I used to not come up with ideas.
But now I see them all the time. I'm like the famous
old headline that said, "Everywhere I stick my nose, I
make money!"
So what happened to me?
All I did was decide to be alert for ideas. I
started to read about people who came up with ideas.
I started to pay attention to other people's products.
And I made up my mind to turn on the inner radar.
Since ideas are being spoken all the time, not
blatantly but as disguised conversations, all I had to
do was LISTEN.
This very article is an example of what I mean.
Bill Hibbler challenged me to write this, and I did.
It's yet another writing that came from direct life
experience.
I then turned around and challenged Bill. I dared him
to write the world's first ultimate guide to writing,
selling and making a profit with e-books. He did.
This is the biggest and best guide ever created
on how to write and market your own e-book. If you
want to finally get your own e-book out there, this
is the e-book that shows you how to do it. It's at
http://www.create-ultimate-ebooks.com/
Here's another example:
Prolific author and famous guitarist Pat O'Bryan
went to his list and asked them what their problems
were when it came to creating e-books. He then sat
down with me, addressed every question his list sent
to him, and turned our answers into another e-product,
this time an audio one. You can read about it at
http://www.ebookproblemsolver.com
And here's my final example for today:
Pat recently became interested in persuasion.
He began reading about it, and then discovered
that many people are so new that what he was
learning was new to them. So he turned his recent
education into yet another e-product. Again, this is
turning personal experience into e-products. See

You can do this, too. Turn on your mental radar.
Become an idea detective. Stop hearing complaints
and start hearing opportunities. They are everywhere.
Look - There's one right now.
