Producing moneymaking material - knowing what ideas, experience, and knowledge you have

Those others would desperately want to have for themselves.

My how-to booklet also came out of personal experience. I'd been having successful garage

Sales for over 12 years, so I decided to write a booklet on: "How to Have Big Money Garage

Sales" My friends had always been astonished and unbelieving when I would tell them how

Much I had earned for the days of my garage sales. Some of them begged me to tell them my

"Secrets" which is what gave me the idea of actually putting them into print. It was from these

Friends and my husband's prodding that finally got me to put some of my experience into writing

As well

The next big step was figuring out how to publish our booklets and then how to market them.

We LIVED in the library, bringing home armloads of books every few days. As a result of all this

Newfound knowledge, my husband and I established a successful self-publishing business

Through the mail we used magazine ads and direct mail in the beginning, but lost more money

Than we made! It wasn't until we discovered the Internet, about 5 years ago, that we began to

See some fruit from our labors. Learning how to make my own web pages and market them

Well I have been the key to our Internet success.

The items we sell through our web pages have brought in so much needed income over the

Last few years that it's become our main income. .
