Here is an article by Jean Lam, called "5 Major Benefits of Selling Digital Products Like eBooks and Software.
Selling digital products on the internet can be a very lucrative business. (More so if you create and sell your own ebooks). The main thing to remember is that it has to be in your niche market and you need to do your research to make sure people are interested in the topic you are writing about.
An ebook would offer the lowest setup costs. Now the only true expense to you is your time, energy and knowledge that has to be poured into your product and the cost of getting it out to the masses.
5 Major Benefits of Selling Digital Products Like eBooks and Software
By Jean Lam
Selling digital products on the internet like eBooks and software is among the most lucrative businesses. The possibilities are endless. You can create software or hire people to do it for you and you sell it after and if it's quite useful, you will get sales provided that you are getting targeted traffic of course. Or you can develop your own info product idea like an eBook and write about a specific topic that people will pay to get that information. Developing an eBook about a topic you know usually is best and you can easily create a product out of your ideas eg dog training, home decorating etc... Usually writing an eBook about a niche topic where it's not too competitive is the best way to get started.
Below are 5 major benefits of selling digital products like eBooks and software:
(1) No Product Shipping / No Inventory Needed
Due to the fact that digital products can only be downloaded to use, you don't need to keep any inventory and you don't need to ship. So no need for a store because you have can unlimited copies with digital products. Create just one and sell as many as you want. And save on shipping costs as well.
(2) Auto-Pilot Business 24/7
When you are selling digital products, you are promoting online and your websites are usually accessible everyday and everytime of the year. It's not like a brick and mortar business where you have closing hours. This means more profitability for your business. You can make money while you are sleeping or on vacation.
(3) No Employees
With this kind of business, you don't really need employees so that's a huge saving. Maybe one to help you with customer service if you have your own product say you are away on vacation but if you are selling other people's products, no need for any employee.
(4) High Income Potential
Selling digital goods can have a high earning potential only limited by your own desire, effort, ambition and imagination. You can potentially generate hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars with this business. And many are doing this right now.
(5) Low Set Up Costs
An eBook is not difficult to create and you just need the information to put into it. If you already have it, it's a breeze to create one and is not expensive. Creating software might be higher in cost though.
If you have an interesting ebook or software idea that has a good demand, it's not a bad idea to venture and try it out. You might be surprised by the outcome.

Bravo cách học mới cho sinh viên.
Đã từ lâu rùi mình mới tìm thấy một niềm vui khi học ở trường. Niềm vui ấy khi quá trình tự học được của sinh viên được các thấy cô giảng viên coi trọng.
Những năm ở phổ thông, những ngày lên lớp, mình chỉ mong được gặp bạn bè cho vui, chỉ để cho nó có cảm giác học tập cho khỏi chán. Còn toàn bộ thời gian ở nhà mình dành hẳn cho niềm vui bên những môn học mình thích. Toán, Tin, và tìm hiểu về thiên văn là tất cả. Và việc học những môn khác hoàn toàn chỉ là đối phó.
Lên đại học niềm vui có được những giờ học thú vị, được ngồi trong những giảng đường rộng lớn như trên ti vi, bao trùm toàn bộ sự hứng khởi của mình trong những ngày học chính trị đầu khóa. Nhưng rùi, mọi chuyện vẫn như thế, vẫn là những lớp học, rùi vẫn đọc vẫn chép, chạy đua với giảng viên Toán... chép chép chép lẹ lên cho kịp tốc độ bay của thầy. Dzề nhà-->chán, mình xếp xó tất cả. Chỉ có phần Triết học có thảo luận là mình hứng khởi tham gia. Còn Toán ư, mục tiêu của mình đâu rùi, hứng khởi học bài đâu rùi...có còn là niềm đam mê nữa không. Quá bó tay, mình chuyển sang học Tin, rùi hoàn toàn học Tin thui. Học Tin thú thật, được thực hành trên máy, có thầy dạy hay hết biết, toàn những thứ thú dzị. Mỗi ngày học mình có biết bao câu hỏi đặt ra rùi để tự giải quyết. Cái hôm thi chọn đội tuyển, cái đầu mình đâu như búa bổ (dư âm của hôm trước đội mưa), khiếp nó còn đói bụng nữa. Căng đầu lên suy nghĩ cho bằng mấy anh không thì die mất. Phàn!! Đó là những ngày tháng mình thích nhất trong suốt năm nhất.
Khi ông bộ trưởng mới lên ngôi, mới đầu thì không thích lắm (ko giáo sư lắm (^_^)!!). Nhưng mà dần dần mình có cảm tình với mấy ông lãnh đạo mới, rùi đặt niềm tin vào những cải cách dạy và học đại học của ông. Càng vui mừng hơn khi những cải cách ấy đã có hiệu lực. Mình thích cách học mà các thầy đang nói, 3 phần thầy truyền thụ còn 7 phần sinh viên phải tự học. Giờ học Hàm phức sv không phải chép bài, mà phải chuẩn bị bài trước để lắng nghe và hỏi. Giờ Tâm lý không còn “hoàn toàn khô cứng” như trước nữa, thầy sẽ phân nhóm để sv thực hành thảo luận, đi làm đề tài thực tế --> he he, nghe mà mát lòng mát dạ wá trời. Thầy trưởng khoa dạy hình Afin cũng nói thế, cũng sẽ dùng slide để giảng bài. Chủ trương ấy được chính hiệu trưởng chỉ định. Và chắc đã bắt đầu từ quy chế đại học mới, chương trình cải cách mới từ bộ. Thầm cảm ơn ông bộ trưởng!!!!
Sáng nay đọc báo. Có một bài viết từ 1 sv ĐH KHXH&NV, hóa ra bên ấy cũng có nhiều cải cách trong phương pháp dạy--> tốt quá, sinh viên mình từ nay đỡ khổ vì “những giảng đường đọc chép rùi”. Sang trang một tương lai sáng lạng cho giáo dục Việt Nam chăng!
Phải học thôi, giờ mình có đến hai mục tiêu: thực hiện ước mơ và học tốt chương trình trên lớn nữa.OK!

15_09 Một ngày lãng nhách.
Sáng 3h15 tỉnh dậy, ngứa quá mà, hồi đêm bị nổi mề đay, giờ vẫn còn, nhiều hơn thì phải ngứa quá đi mất. 4h30 dậy thui, ngủ không được, phải vận động cho khí huyết lưu thông mới mong hết bệnh được. Thế là chạy bộ, mình đang chạy thì chợt thấy một cụ già đang ngồi, chắc là very skilful đây. Chạy tới ngay: Bà ơi cho con hỏi, mình bị nổi mề đay thì làm sao để bớt hả bà? Bà già ngạc nhiên. “tối qua con bị nổi mề đay, sáng nay ngứa quá không ngủ được nên phải đi chạy bộ cho nó bớt lẹ”. Bà hỏi ăn gì mà bị rùi bảo mày bị thì ở trong mát, tránh gió, cái này mà gặp phong thì ngứa thêm. Nghe lời--> chạy dzề, mặt lại áo lạnh, ngủ một lát.
Sáng 7h30 tỉnh dậy, hình như đỡ ngứa rùi, không còn nổi giác nứa, he he hay quá. Gốm thiệt làm mình hết hồn à!!! Nhưng mà mỏi, rùi lạng quạng đừ thật, nhưng phải ăn gì rùi đến trường lấy mấy tấm ảnh hồi đi Hà Nội. Mệt mỏi rã rời, rùi hết buổi sáng, buổi trưa. Buổi chiều đi học. Lại chờ thầy... Mệt quá thui. Mãi lúc sau thầy mới tới, ổng thầy (trưởng khoa) thú nhận là.. quên dạy mất tiêu rùi. Được cái ổng thông báo rằng sẽ cố gắng dạy theo cách 3/7: 3 phần thầy dạy còn 7 phần là sinh viên tự nghiên cứu, mình khoái cách này. Nhất định năm nay phải học cho ra trò mới được!!!
Chỉ có điều mình có một ước mơ, để thực hiện được ước mơ đó cần phải học tốt tiếng Anh, dzậy mà mấy hôm nay không học được một chữ nào cả--> buồn thật, nhưng nhất định sẽ phải cố gắng.

14_09 Bị mề đay hic hic
Hic hic, bị mề đay rùi, í lộn đang bị mề đay nè. Khổ wá thui!
Hôm nay đến nhà bạn chơi, dzới lại trả cho nó sách TOEIC. Chẳng có ai ở nhà cả... trời ơi, ngứa quá đi thôi, ngứa quá. Trùi ui, có bao giờ mình bị trúng gió hay là mề đay đâu. Ngứa, trùi ôi...bó tay mất.
Kệ, gõ tiếp thui. Ra mạng được nói chuyện dzới Hoàng Anh, bạn ấy cũng ... ngứa... thui thui. Ừ Hoàng Anh cũng cởi mở chứ nhỉ, mình cứ nghĩ là khó khăn lắm cơ...
Vào lại nhà bạn, nói chuyện với hai nhỏ đó ngoài cổng một chút... muỗi wá. Thấy hai đứa hơi nhăn nhó.. mình liền đuổi đuổi tụi nó nhanh nhan dzô nhà đi. Quay xe dzề thầm nghĩ sao mới đứng có một chút mà muỗi cắn nhiều chỗ thế nhỉ. Càng lúc càng nổi lên nhiều chỗ, sao lúc nó cắn mình không biết là bị cắn nhỉ... trùi ui khổ. Dzề tới nhà, ngứa quá, gãi... gãi thôi là gãi. Gãi chân gãi ở tay, ở bụng... thui thui càng lúc càng ngứa. Mấy anh cùng phòng đang chơi thử thách 8277, mình cũng nhào dzô, cũng gãi. Bỗng anh Hoàng bảo, mày bị nỗi mề đay rôi, mặt mày cũng nổi rồi kìa. Hình như có một nút nhỏ, lúc nảy bị kiến cắn thì phải. Đỡ ngứa rồi... chơi thử thách tiếp thôi. Rùi tự nhiên nỗi ý định mở máy học anh văn. Vừa nhìn vào cái màn hình, thấy cái mặt mình nỗi nỗi như là cái mặt trong “trái dừa bị trăn ăn”. Khủng khiếp quá, chạy vào soi gương ngay. Khiếp thật... nổi cả rùi. Mấy ảnh bảo mày mặt nhiều quần áo dzô, pha nước đường uống cho nó giải độc.
Tội nghiệp thằng nhỏ, mình bị mề đay mà không biết mề đay là gì. Đến khí người ta nhắc đến mề đay thì sốt vó lên: “Mề đay là gì thế? Có bị sao không?” Khổ ghê, mấy ảnh còn bảo mấy đứa còn nổi đầy cả đầu nữa kìa--> khiếp. Giờ thì, hai cái áo ấm+ hai cái quần+ một cái áo phủ trên đầu. chao ôi là khổ.
Giờ ngủ với được, trùi ui. Lần đầu tiên khổ quá. Toàn thân cả. Khiếp thật!

SEO Mistakes that Can Cost You Traffic
Well, in my journey of learning SEO I have made many mistakes -- and it's cost me traffic. If you're trying to learn search engine optimization, you know the frustration of not knowing what to do, let alone not knowing what works, what doesn't work and what you shouldn't do.
Here is an article I wrote, it's a quick read, but I hope it helps you. As they say, if you can take even one morsel of information away and utilize it on your site with success -- it's worth it.
SEO-What Am I Doing Wrong?
By Vickie J. Scanlon
When I first put my website up I anxiously waited with high anticipation for the traffic to arrive. And let me say, I waited, and waited -- and got excited when I saw some clicks, before realizing they were my own. Then my patience turned to frustration. I had to find a way to get traffic to my site--for my own clicks were definitely counterproductive.
As with most newbies, I did not have a lot of money to work with, so I was looking for a free option to get my website moving. That's when I came across this thing called Search Engine Optimization. It was free, required a lot of work, but the rewards would be long term. At least that was what I read.
So, what am I doing wrong with SEO?
First, most people tend to want to shy away from Search Engine Optimization. Why? It's seems complicated, they're not quite sure where to begin or they feel the results are too long-term and not immediate (usually). Well, all I can say is, take a deep breath, step through your fear and tackle the monster of SEO, or your online business will suffer.
The first mistake many webmasters make, I included, is to assume that you only need to optimize your home page. Not true, you should optimize for traffic on all your web pages. If you have in the beginning, say, 20+ pages, do you want people to just hit your home page or all 20+ pages? I bet you're saying all 20+ pages. If not, you should be. You must make your website accessible to your target market, thus, open the entry points where you want them to enter.
Second mistake, many webmasters do not fully understand the importance of keywords in their meta tags. Thus, SEO begins first with optimizing your meta tags with your keywords or keyword phases.
Meta Tag Title -- your keywords should be in the meta tag title. Well, let's see, what did I have -- my index web page had the welcome title that I used on the web page.Well, this could be a good thing if it has your keywords in it -- but if it doesn't you're losing the search engines and traffic. Translated, what title you have on your web page for visitors to view, doesn't necessarily have to be the title in your Meta Tag Title.
Meta Tag Description -- your keywords should be included in the description as well. It's almost like writing a concise ad to draw the search engines and traffic. If you go to Google and type in one of your keywords, you may very well see the meta description drawing people to your site. It depends on what the search engines find to be relevant.
Meta Tag Keywords -- some say that the search engines ignore the keywords, while others believe they are giving the competition an unfair advantage. I personally use the meta tag keywords, both as a personal reference and for any of the search engines that may still use the keyword meta tags.
Alt tags -- not all search engines utilize the alt tags, but some still do. So, don't ignore the images, where you can put a keyword in an alt tag. It's rather simple, just put alt="keyword here" within the image.
Content -- you should have keywords within your content. For me, emphasis should be audience first, then keywords. So write your content first, then try to incorporate your keywords.
Things To Avoid
To keep you in good standing with the search engines you should avoid some of the following:
1. Blackhat tactics -- No hidden keywords. Which means, having keywords that are the same color as your background and are not visible to the human eye.
2. Keyword stuffing -- Stuffing your keywords into your copy. You can tell rather easily by the fact that the content does not flow smoothly and may have little or no learning value to the reader.
This is a good starting point, and if you're new to SEO it will keep you busy for a while. So, create the mindset of "getting it done" with long-term goals and you should begin to see traffic coming your way for years to come.

SEO-No Quick Fixes, But Long Term Benefits
SEO, as I have always said, is a viable way to get targeted traffic to your website. And it has been told that if you can get the hang of the optimization process you can truly benefit financially. As stated by Mark Nenadic, you need patience to see the results. And that does not mean in two weeks you'll see the traffic roll in. You need to watch, tweak, and tweak and see what the search engines deems important. It is what the search engines deem important, not so much what you feel is important.
I don't mean to repeat myself, but -- this is for people who either have just started learning and attempting to apply the SEO process themselves, or for those individuals who are having someone else work the magic for them. Be patient -- don't give up, you will see results.
There is one little hint that will help you. Make sure all your meta title pages are relevant to one another. I tested the non-relevancy theory several times -- choosing a product or service that didn't quite match my overall content. I was hoping I could prove the many wrong. Results -- lost or lower placement of some of my pages in the search engines. So, be aware of the relevency of your content and work within that niche.
With that being said, here is a quick read by Mark Nenadic called "Successful SEO Needs Effort Not Quick Fixes.
Successful SEO Needs Effort Not Quick Fixes
By: Mark Nenadic
It would be nice if we could master search engine optimization and procure high rankings simply by editing Meta tags but that's just not going to happen.
The reason is because in order to achieve SEO success a combined effort of different longterm methods is required. There is no one quick fix that will solve the problem.
Nevertheless despite the fact that there are no easy solutions people still insist on using various techniques to try and find them. For instance it is possible to quickly generate high rankings from words that no internet users will search for. However even if you rank number one if no one uses the words your business will flop.
In addition, the following are some more quick fixes that many people try and fail at.
Changing or Adding Meta Tags Search engines are limited when it comes to deciding what sites should be shown in the result list of a keyword search. Meta keyword tags assist search engines and help them select the pages with the most relevancy that pertain to the keyword of a Web surfer.
Of course there is a difference between a public search engine like Yahoo and an internal search engine. A public search engine contains virtually every web page they are aware of. Therefore they cant trust all the Meta tags they find as not all website have been designed to provide the internet users with relevant information on the keyword they are searching for. Some website have been set up for the sole purpose of advertising and generating traffic. Thus the goal of a public search engine is to weed out these irrelevant websites and help searchers find exactly what they are looking for.
An internal search engine, on the other hand consists of only a small amount of web pages or products. Therefore it is less difficult for the search engine to produce the most relevant pages. Moreover the Meta tags that are present on the internal search engine on your site are trustworthy because your goal is to help your visitors find what they are looking for.
When all is said and done by adding or changing the Meta tags on your website doesn't quickly or slowly fix anything. The bottom line is this method will have not effect on the result of your SEO traffic.
Increasing Web Content Increasing web content can boost your SEO success but this is something that takes plenty of time. Sure you can quickly increase the content by writing useless puff pieces using auto generating software or ripping off content from other sites but none of these methods are actually going to improve your business profits in the long run.
The only web content that is going to secure your success is information that is relevant and valuable. It takes time and experience to generate this type of information so don't try to cheat your way to the top with wasted words or words that are not your own. Stay true to your business and keep your integrity.
Link Popularity One of the most popular quick fix methods out there are link schemes. Anyone who does business on the internet knows how valuable links are. Links are what help to increase web traffic and increase website visibility. That being said you will want to avoid becoming a link farm because if your goal is to only get links to increase your SEO rankings you're not going to take your business anywhere.
As tempting as it might sound you need to ignore link popularity. Your focus should be on your target market, and how you can reach them to let them know your website exists. Thus you need to market your website which means you may have to dish out a little money to publicize your website in local newspapers magazine or even in a television ad. The more your site is recognized the better chance it has of ending up in the right niche markets to attract the right attention.
If you want to be successful with search engine optimization you need to commit yourself to achieving long term results. This does take patience but is necessary if you want to come out on top. The following tips can help bring you closer to your high ranking goal
Tip 1 Conduct thorough research for keyword phrases
Use effective keyword programs such as Keyword Discovery or WordTracker. The paid programs of their software will help you generate the best keyword phrases for your business.
Tip 2 Valuable web content
Dont create a website that is overrun by graphics. SEO spiders will crawl right over these graphics and pass you by. Your website needs a reasonable amount of web content that is pumped full of valuable information. It needs to be clear and concise and should also convey your website message which needs to include the keywords you've selected to rank high for.
Tip 3 Relevancy
Ensure that all your link anchor text and title tags are relevant to one another, as well as to the web content that is presented on your site.
Tip 4 Patience is a virtue
It will take almost a year or even longer before you begin to see any traffic from the natural results of search engines. Try not to let this get you down. Take this time to continue to improve your site and give the competition a run for their money. Eventually your persistence patience and positive thinking will pay off.
Always remember it doesn't matter how well you market your website you are not going to achieve overnight success. Just like most things in life taking the easy way out when it comes to marketing your business online isn't going to create you long lasting success. If you want an impressive future that provides you with plenty of reward, you need to spend the time and money and do things right the first time.

Just like most things in life taking the easy way out when it comes to marketing your business online isn't going to create you long lasting success. If you want an impressive future that provides you with plenty of reward, you need to spend the time and money and do things right the first time.
