Product Creation Method #3: “Use Articles from Article Directories”

Initially, you might think the idea of taking freely available information (i.e. articles from a directory that is free to browse) and bundling them into a book isn't exactly the brightest product-creation strategy in the world; however, in order to think that, you'd have to ignore how well repackaged anthologies and classics volumes have sold over the course of decades...

Indeed, repackaging, aggregating, and/or putting your own “twist” on something that already exists does add value that customers are willing to pay for. People who buy your product may technically have access to all of those sources, but if they don't know they exist – or if they don't want to shift through all of the garbage to find the few gems – then you have provided a helpful service: you have conducted the research and have compiled high-quality information for them.

Repackaging articles is a completely legitimate and effective way to make products. In fact, if you look at a number of successful book series, such as Chicken Soup for the Soul (http://www.chickensoup.com), they're nothing but repackaged stories that were submitted to an editorial board. The editors simply put their spin on the stories by creating an introduction, conclusion, and theme (for each book).

There's only one important caveat to keep in mind (and keeping it in mind will make the product-creation process easier): you cannot legally use articles from directories to create products unless you solicit the permission from their authors.

What that means is straight-forward enough: rather than selecting 3-4 articles at a time, sending out emails to the authors, and waiting for responses, you should take a different approach. Find 20 or more good authors at article directories such as:
