If you're one of the many people who hate writing but still want to create your own info products then help is at hand. One of the fastest and easiest ways to create an info product is to host a teleseminar.Using a teleseminar format, good content can be converted into an info product in several ways. Here are some of the ways in which you can make money from teleseminars. You can:
1. Charge an admittance fee to your teleseminar,
2. Sell the transcript (digital or printed),
3. Sell the Audio CD(s),
4. Sell the MP3(s), or
5. Sell combinations of the above.
Teleseminar Hosting
One way of easily setting up a teleseminar is by using InstantTeleseminar.
This is a great system that many professional interviewers, trainers, educators, promotors, Internet marketers, authors, etc. are using to promote and host their teleseminars. The beauty of this product is two-fold:
1. It is easy to use and flexible, and
2. Participants can either listen via the phone or via the web.
Ease of Use
You can literally set up a teleseminar in minutes. Sample templates are provided for your promo webpage header and photo.
Phone vs Webcast
The basic set-up for InstantTeleseminar allows up to 200 people to call the bridge line and up to 2,000 people to attend via a live webcast. Research has shown that where participants have the choice of either dialling in to a teleseminar or listening via the web that 65% will tune into the webcast. Therefore, it is important to give your teleseminar participants this option if you want to boost your attendance figures.
You can see an example of one of the promo pages created using InstantTeleseminar by clicking the link below:
"How to Awaken Your Spirit for Living a Life Without Limits"
All the main information that someone wanting to participate in this event is provided, i.e. date, time, number to dial if listening by phone or how to listen online. To listen online you just have to re-visit this webpage and select one of the options:
1. Flash Player,
2. Windows Media, or
3. Pop-Up Player.
The countdown clock makes it easy for visitors to see exactly when the event will begin.
Also, note that you can have links to your website and a call to action button which is very useful when you want to promote a special offer.
The teleseminar webpage also allows participants to submit questions for the event either before the event or during the actual live teleseminar. The moderator can choose whether to reject or approve a particular question.
InstantTeleseminar allows you to record your event in two ways. A back-up recording is automatically made of your event which is available for a limited period. Alternatively, as the Moderator of the teleseminar you can record the event yourself by simply pressing the record button in the Moderator Tools section.
You can test drive InstantTeleseminar for 3 weeks for just $1 and I highly recommend that you give it a try even if you use other methods of hosting your teleseminars.
Equipment
The basic equipment you need to host a teleseminar is a headset, telephone, microphone and of course your computer.
When starting out you can use one of those headset and microphone combinations. However, there will come a time when you will want to start creating higher quality recording. People tend to be fairly forgiving when it comes to the sound quality of teleseminars if the content is good. However, if you want to re-purpose your teleseminar and create MP3S and CDs then you want a high-end recording of your teleseminar.
Armand Morin recommends the Samson C03U microphone. It is a condenser microphone with a USB output and you can check it out by clicking the link below:
Samson C03U Microphone
There are several microphones on this page. Just scroll down until you get to the Samson C03U.
Software for Editing (and Recording)
You will also need software to edit you recordings. You'll want to delete some of the umms and ahhs and some of the background sounds if they prove to be distracting, adjust the base to give a richer sound, even out the volume of the recording, etc. You can purchase AdobeAudition. It is an excellent audio production and editing tool for the professional sound engineer.
Or you could go with a FREE software program called Audacity. Audacity may be free but it is a great program and very easy to use. You can download a copy by clicking the link below:

Placing Your Audio on Your Website
Two of the most popular ways to place streaming audio on your websites are the following (in no particular order):
1. AudioGenerator
2. AudioAcrobat
AudioGenerator offers a 21 day trial for just $1 and AudioAcrobat offer a free 30 day trial. Rather than give a lengthy overview here I recommend checking them both out and seeing which best suits your needs. They are both easy to use.
One of the advantages that AudioAcrobat has over AudioGenerator is that it allows you to place links on your website that allow the end-user to download your MP3 files.
AudioGenerator allows you to send customisable AudioPostcards which are an excellent marketing tool.
So there you have it a brief overview of how you can quickly and easily create an info product and re-purpose it so that you can sell it in a variety of formats.
