Make Money With Teleseminars - Five Out-Of-The-Box Strategies To Turn Your Teleseminars Into Cash

Teleseminars can be terrific money makers. And chances are, you're probably familiar with the three regular ways to earn an income with teleseminars:

Charge for access Use your events to promote a paid product of some kind (which could include your own paid teleseminar series or an affiliate product) Turn your teleseminar into a product and sell it, usually bundled with transcripts and a worksheet.

But that's just the beginning.

There are quite a few additional possibilities. Let's look at five out-of-the-box ways to make more money with your teleseminars:

1) Turn your teleseminars into articles and books

A teleseminar is usually filled with valuable information. Why not have it transcribed and repurpose the result. You can excerpt quite a few articles that you can publish in article directories, and use them as lead generators to get more people onto your list.

You can also turn the transcripts into a book, either an ebook, a Kindle or Nook book, or even a physical book. If the teleseminar isn't quite long enough for a physical book, just create a series of teleseminars and combine them into the book manuscript.

2) Create home study courses

If you want to create a product with a higher perceived value, why not assemble a whole series of call recordings, possibly with transcripts and worksheets, and turn them into a home study course.

You can easily sell that from your website, from the back of the room.

3) Package them into "Best of" sets

There's an additional way to monetize your teleseminars. Just assemble them into "Best of" sets, or maybe themed sets. You can sell them easily - or even use them as a valuable bonus for a higher-priced course or coaching program.

4) Create teleseminars in advance (and use them over and over again)

Who said you had to have a live audience to do a teleseminar. Why not just get on the phone when inspiration strikes you, and create a recording. Depending on the teleseminar or webinar service you're using, it's very easy to create these events in advance, and then schedule them to run again and again during scheduled times.

You won't even have to be there if you're not planning to have a Q&A session. Not only that, but you can host that same teleseminar over and over again, making money with the back end, and building your list.

5) CD-of-the-month club

You can also turn your teleseminars into physical CDs with a service such as Kunaki, and set up a subscription program where your subscribers will receive a CD each month, possibly along with a transcript and/or a printed newsletter.

As you can see, there are many ways to turn teleseminars into extra cash. Why not pick one or two and get started.

How Can I Conserve Gasoline?

There are many ways to conserve fuel when driving; simple things you can do to increase your gas mileage. Recently I was at the gas station and I noticed that the price was above $3.00 per gallon for regular. I thought wow, I am glad I have a small car with me today? I looked over at a Soccer Mom, filling up her tank she looked at the pump with tears in her eyes and started to break down. I asked her what was wrong, only half suspecting it was the fuel prices. She said she had wanted to visit her mother next weekend how was in the hospital, but said she couldn't. She said look at this. It said $109.09 and she said; "My card is already over limit and I will be surprised if they do not shut it off now." Today gas is three-dollars a gallon soon if could be as high as $4.00?

I asked her what it usually cost to fill it up? She said something that shocked me; "Who said I filled it up?" In fact it was not on the "F" for full mark. Her trusty Suburban, which she bought for safety so she could take her four kids to various school, church and sporting events and practice is too expensive to drive. She said she could let her husband drive it, but it really did not fit in the parking structure at work too well and it kept getting door dings and side swiped when he used it. It did have marks on it, it was a nice vehicle indeed, even had what appeared to be shopping cart therapy marks from its over size in the stalls.

I explained to her some simple driving techniques which if employed could reduce her weekly fuel bill considerably. We talked about carpooling techniques when possible and consolidation of trips. It is time America think about conservation, perhaps better planning of trips, car pooling and driving at best rates of fuel use. Then we talked about the best way to use cruise control. How so? Well use cruise control and drive 55-60 on the freeways, this will keep your cars fuel consumption rates low, once you move much over 55 mph, the co-efficient of drag curve shoot up into a hyperbolic usage scale. Cut down on that wind resistance of highspeed, as takes a big toll on your fuel economy. Another thing you can do is not accelerate from a stop, allow the car to slowly break ground (move forward) before touching the gas pedal. You can also think about using the air-conditioner less, use the poor man's "model 52" air-conditioner drive fifty and roll down two windows. Think on this.

House Painting Yourself

Homeowners painting their own house often suffer from confidence problems in their ability. Some are all riled up to paint their house and start painting before they have fully planned everything out. Other people are worried that they cannot do advanced painting correctly and end up not using more creative situations. The family can paint the house without help from a Denver painting contractor. All you need to do is study some painting ideas and techniques.

After planning all the painting out, you need to make sure you have all the necessary tools. A Denver paint contractor will use roll brushes, hand brushes, paint and paper to keep the paint from spilling. Paint should fulfill its two roles:beauty and protection.

You can consult with the hardware store or a Denver painting contractor with a color chart to decide on colors and color schemes. A two-tone scheme is very attractive and not as hard as it sounds. Your colors can be matched to your yard, neighborhood, a creative theme, your furniture or architecture. If you are going for beauty over art, the two most important considerations in color are the architecture and interior of the home.

Then you need to pick a paint that protects well. The paint protects your exterior from weather and damage. So a good paint is waterproof, and will not flake or scratch easily. Simply adding coats is one way to get more protection but the best way is to get a good quality paint.

Before starting painting remove all the old paint. Paint stripping is a chore that can be left to a Denver painter. Do it yourselfers may want to just start painting without removing old paint. Doing this will cause the paint to peel. Spread paper to stop paint from getting on your interior or yard. The first coat of paint is called the primer. Primer makes paint stick to the walls better and increases the life of the paint job.

Always let a coat dry before applying another one and you will be able to do any interior or exterior paint job yourself. Commercial painting should be left to the professionals. Commercial buildings have to pass inspection, and in some places these painters need to be licensed or even union labor.

Truman Capote and the True Crime Narrative

Truman Capote wants to write an epic non-fiction which is more and more in vogue now and tries to achieve a synthesis between myth and event and it is "In Cold Blood" that Truman Capote replaces pure fantasy with fact. The story is about a mass murder by two psychopaths in a small town in Kansas and his narrative helps to inaugurate the style for non-fiction novel. His style of mixing hybrid non-fiction and prose is very much imitated by journalists and other authors and is the forerunner of the New Journalism movement.

The book is about the slaying of a wealthy farmer, his wife and his two children in Holcomb, Kansas. When he hears of the quadruple murder of the Clutter family, he travels to Kansas with his childhood friend and fellow author, Harper Lee.

Together they interview local residents and investigators and the killers, Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Smith, are arrested not long after the murders, and Capote ultimately spends six years working on the book. Capote does a large amount of research for this work and once the criminals are found, tried and convicted, Capote holds personal interviews with Smith and Hickock. Smith fascinates the author especially and in his book he describes him as the one who is more sensitive and guilt conscious of the two killers. Capote never takes notes while interviewing but writes from memory. Besides he compares "the system of appeals" of the American jurisprudence to a game of chance. In his book the participants go from state courts through Federal courts interminably to reach ultimately the US Supreme Court. Capote criticizes the ways and means by which a trial narrative is produced which is later seen in Norman Mailer's "The Executioner's Song".

Thus "In Cold Blood" gets published in 1966 as a "non-fiction novel" as Capote puts it in his own words. It brings him fame and literary acclaim and it becomes an international bestseller. Though it is considered as a controversial work and a fakery by some true crime writers, it paves the way for future journalists and writers of true life stories and establishes Capote as the pioneer of the non-fiction novels of the present day.

Feng Shui Interprets the Haunted House

When we think of a classic haunted house, images from the movies come up. Sometimes the haunted house is depicted as a dark, dingy, old, dilapidated house, secluded and covered with cobwebs. Oddly enough, these really are some of the "yin" attributes which can contribute to a house attracting a ghost.

In feng shui theory, all environments can be described as "yin" or "yang." Yang aspects are lively, bright, airy, cheerful and warm. But "yin" aspects include still, dark, cluttered, stuffy, cold, or damp. Houses that have several of these yin aspects on a chronic basis are more likely to attract or harbor spirits inside.

There are also exterior circumstances which can attract a ghost to a house. This includes a house that is within view of a cemetery. There is a Chinese slang term, where a cemetery is called a "night club," because at night the cemetery gets very lively.

Even bright, cheery, brand new houses can harbor a ghost if they happen to have been built on top of old burial sites or battlefields. As an example, the Chumash Indians spent a lot of time in many areas of Southern California. I have been to a number of homes throughout Southern California where the presence of a Chumash Indian spirit seemed likely. One client even told me that after everyone went upstairs to go to bed each night, she'd smell the smoke of a "peace pipe" from downstairs wafting its way upstairs!

Houses that were built right into a mountainside can also be considered too yin. And sometimes a house will attract a ghost simply because a past occupant may be very attached to the property even though they have died. One client of mine, who lives in the Mt. Washington area of Los Angeles, had an interaction with a ghost on her property shortly after the 1994 earthquake. When she described the physical appearance of the ghost to a long-time neighbor, the neighbor confirmed that it was the man who had built the house many years previous. Perhaps he was just checking on the status of the house.

Is there a remedy to eliminate a ghost? By eliminating all the yin characteristics of a house, sometimes the ghost will leave of its own accord.

Sometimes it takes a willful, meditative dialogue with the spirit before it departs. And there are also some special feng shui remedies which involve opening up a certain door in the house. This is based on a little-known calculation derived from the age of the house and its compass orientation.

Suspicious Package? What Now?

Dealing with suspicious packages, whether a suspected bomb or a chemical/biological threat, businesses need procedures that are clearly defined and staff trained, not only to identify suspicious deliveries, but actions to take if a delivery is judged to be of concern.

All companies and businesses should conduct their own assessments based upon their own historical data and determine the likelihood of receiving an explosive or toxic package. Simply put, if you are a corner store florist with an employee list of two then generally speaking it is less likely that you are going to receive a mail bomb than perhaps, a multi national finance group or an engineering firm linked to the defence industry. However, your planning and procedures starts with awareness and vigilance.

Numerous websites offer free advice that, for the small business, is a great start. The US Postal website has a downloadable suspicious package poster as has the FBI website. In Australia, the Australian Federal Police Bomb Data Centre offers a similar download.

Businesses that have merely relied upon the tactic that if any article arrives that is deemed suspicious, employees will simply evacuate and the Police will take control, are truly under prepared. Whilst Police response is ultimately what will happen, the events prior to Police arrival can be crucial in the safety of all employees involved. If a package contains a hazardous substance then evacuating employees who may be contaminated, who may come into contact with other employees during an evacuation, is not the correct thing to do until the exposed employee(s) can be tested.

For larger companies that determine that they have an increased level of risk to such threats then much more detailed planning is advised. Engaging an emergency management advisor to apply specific analysis and develop site-specific procedures based upon the company's vulnerability and capabilities is a great place to start. VISA for instance, in the United States has gone so far as to have a mail room that is separate from their facility and located in a transportable building. If a suspicious object or substance arrives by mail or courier then the building itself can be trucked or airlifted away for Police experts to handle the situation is a location where it does not pose a threat to VISA's ongoing business.

Not every business has this level of capability, but the best starting point is to recognise the threat and develop a set of procedures to suit your capabilities today. Don't wait until the package arrives to think "Now what?"
