Review

Monique Harris and Ken Evoy are arguable some of the best known and most successful Internet marketers today.

They've each written extensively about such subjects as creating information products and internet marketing.

Monique Harris is the author of several reports, books and manuals, such as "How to Make Your Business Famous in 6 Months or Less", "How to Make $50,000 a Year (or more) Creating and Selling Information Products Online" and several others. No wonder, Ken Evoy asked Monique to create MYKS.

And Ken Evoy is the author of the bestseller "Making Your Site Sell", better known as MYKS.

Now they have co-authored this course, titled "Make Your Knowledge Sell", or just MYKS.


A winning team

Actually Monique seems to have written the major part of the main manual, and Ken has then added some comments and tips here and there.

When I first saw that they had joined to write a course on how to create your own information products, I immediately got interested.

I really like the information products they've created earlier on, and I was excited to see if has done it again.


Didn't get disappointed

And I must say that I didn't get disappointed! This course has so much highly valuable insider information in it, that it could easily have been priced a several hundred dollars. That's how 
good I think this course is.


Detailed

First of all, this course is very detailed. It doesn't just skip lightly through the process of creating your own information products. No, Monique and Ken cover all the fundamental steps to creating information products. And with this course in your hand, you'll be well equipped to start and run your own information business.

Just take a look at the content above, and you'll soon realize that this course includes a LOT of information.

Monique and Ken goes through the process of creating your own information products, step-by-step. And that's what I really like about this course. So often you can hear some famous expert tell you to "just write a book" or "just go ahead and create that information product". Or may be they go more in details, but still they leave out the vital important steps you need guidance to take.

Not so Monique and Ken!

No, they tell you how to pick a hot topic for your information product, how to create or acquire your product, and how to market and sell it. And in between they give you most of all the nitty-gritty details on how to both get started and run your business. 


Some unique information too

There are several competing infobiz-courses on the market today. Many of them are useful. But often they look like each other too much.

I don't think this can't be said about this course.

On several places it has some unique information you won't easily find elsewhere.

For instance, Monique shares how she went against the main stream and launched a paid-for electronic newsletter. So often you hear that it's just impossible to charge anything for an ezine today. 

People expect to get electronic newsletters for free, or so the argument goes.

Monique chose to challenge this almost undisputed Internet-creed. And she admits that a lot of people laughed at her in disbelief. But the fact is that this paid-for electronic newsletter succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. I just read that this newsletter is more profitable to Monique than all the rest of her product combined! And the rest of Monique's products has to my knowledge sold very well.

But Monique don't just share her success-story. She also shows her readers the way she did it.


Make your own profitable guerilla video

Another good chapter in MYKS is the chapter on making your own "guerilla" videos.

This is the kind of products that made such marketing experts and product developers as Bill Myers and Barbara Bestir so successful. Of course these two marketers have other successful products too, but videos were responsible for much of the success.

In MYKS Monique shows how you can do the same, how you can make videos with your own home as your basis. 

And as she shows, it doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg to make your own videos. Videos just have a high perceived value in the eyes of most buyers. That's yet another reason that they may be a good way to pack your information.



The bonuses

Besides getting the main manual, MYKS, the buyer of this course gets an impressing number of bonuses. And these bonuses aren't just a few superficial articles. No, actually some of these bonuses could separately have been sold for the price of the complete course.


Bonus #1: Ken Silver: "E-Book Secrets"

One of the bonuses included, is Ken Silver's masterpiece, "e-Book Secrets". This manual is being sold on many websites for $39, which in my opinion is way too little. Actually Ken Silver's book is a complete course in itself. And he could easily have sold his book for the price of the complete MYKS-course, had he chosen to do so.

So considering that the buyer of MYKS get this course as a bonus to all the other items, it's really a steal.

In my opinion Ken Silver's book is one of the very best books on how to start up and run a profitable information business.

Ken covers all the basic steps (plus many more advanced steps) of creating, marketing and selling your own profitable e-books from anywhere in the world.


Bonus #2: "Buying And Selling 'Reprint Rights'"

As a bonus to the main manual, Ken Evoy has written a report on how to acquire your information products by buying the reprint rights to an information product.

This bonus report on 59 pages is written by Ken Evoy. Here Ken shows how incredible profitable it can be to both sell and buy reprint rights. He answers such questions as, "Why should I sell the reprint rights to my product?", "Won't I be helping my competitors?", "How do I find products for which I can buy the reprint rights?", "How do I earn money by selling the reprint rights to my product?", "Where do I find governmental information that's public domain and thus reprintable?", "What are the pitfalls?", just to mention a few of the questions Ken answers.

Besides, Ken gives you the necessary document for making reprint agreements. These documents can be very valuable when you want to make your first reprint-deal.

In short, this is a very valuable bonus-report which could easily have been sold as a product on it's own.


Bonus #3: "120 New Marketing Places To Promote And Sell Your Information Product Online"

Bonus #4: "186 Marketing Places To Promote And Sell Your Information Product Online"

These two bonuses produced by Monique, can be very valuable for the new infopreneur. Here Monique lists website after website, through which the infopreneur can promote her or his information products.


Bonus #5: "Jump Start Kit"

This manual is filled with checklists, templates and guides for you to use whenever you want to launch a new information product, a new website, or whenever you just want to check all the necessary procedures of your business. This means that this manual can become an invaluable tool for your whole business - from start to end. 

Here, in this manual, Monique Harris and/or Ken Evoy (no author is mentioned) liberally shares all the critical lessons they've learned through years of personal experience in their e-businesses. 

You'll find checklists, templates and guidelines for just about every aspect of your business - from what to remember if you want to create your own discussion board, to what to remember when processing your orders.

I have a strong sense that this manual will be a frequent guest on my computer screen. It's that helpful in my opinion!


Bonus #6: "The Automation Manual"

This bonus-manual by Ken Evoy is yet another gold mine for both the new and the experienced information marketer.

Here Ken lists one useful resource after another. He shows you how to automate your whole business as much as possible. He shows you how to take credit cards, how to get a fulfillment company shipping all your orders and so on.

This is yet another highly valuable tool for the infopreneur.



The tactic: Over-deliver

Ken Evoy's and Monique Harris' business tactic shines clearly through in this product, just like in Ken Evoy's first course, MYSS. The tactic is to OVER-DELIVER to the customers. The result is - hopefully - that the customer gets so satisfied with the product, that he or she trust the seller enough to buy even more products.

Did the authors of this course succeed with this strategy?

In my opinion the answer is a clear YES!

 

Too much information?

Some people would even say that they almost get too much information here. But that can't be so bad, huh? Usually it's the exact opposite problem you meet: You don't get enough detailed information. But this certainly isn't the case in this course.

Considering the price they charge for this course, I think it's one of the best investments you could make, if you want to create your own information products. Of course you can always discuss if the authors would actually have done wiser to price the course higher. But then again the number of buyers may have gone down, and the prospects for the next product launched by the authors would have been smaller. So it's always a point of discussion (and TESTING) what to charge for a product. But whatever, from the view of the buyer of this course, he or she has every reason to be a satisfied customer, in my opinion.

To sum it all up...

To sum it all up, I think this course is just what we've been missing! It can be the key to a lifetime  of products, and the beginning to your own successful information business - but of course only if you actually follow this excellent guide.
