How Do I Create It?

How you create whatever it is you're going to sell really depends on what it is. There are so many different options that creating it could be anything from writing an ebook to filming a training session.

Whatever it is you create, you'll need to put some thought, time and effort into it. If you're going to be successful you can't do anything less. This might be a secondary source of income but you have to give it a primary effort.

There are also plenty of resources out there, so don't be afraid to find some help:
