Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase, Akin Alabi, Efe Imiren, Sanni Akindipe. Have you ever come across these names? They’re Nigeria’s top Information Marketing Millionaires; they make a living selling information product.

What is Information Marketing?

Information marketing is the process of creating information products that help people to accomplish a goal – solve a problem. The information marketing merchant produces a product called Information Product. This Information Product is sold to make money.

Information products are designed to solve a particular problem in your prospect’s life, if it is well designed and meets the needs of people, it can fetch you thousands of money for a very long time.

Information products are packaged into different media like e-Books, Books, Short reports, Manuals, CD/DVDs, Audios, Online course, etc.

Requirements: Anybody can create an information product, including you, you can create it from both your experience and skill set or you research and come up with well organized information that people can use quickly and get results.  You can sell your information products through social media like Face book, twitter, Nairaland etc. You can also setup your own website or blog.

How much can you make?

Information marketing is one of the most lucrative businesses online because at anytime, people would definitely be searching for information that would solve their particular problem, your own Job is to be there with your packaged solutions.

Information marketers make between fifty thousand naira per month to millions of naira per month (N50, 000-N1, 000,000+), there’s really no limit, it depends on how hot and valuable the information is and how big your target market is.

How to go about it:

Basically, to become an information marketer you should have the following:

• ·       Personal Computer (PC)

• ·       Internet connection

• ·       Basic web design knowledge

• ·       At least one email account

• ·       A blog or website

• ·       A targeted niche

·       A good number of followers on social media

Having all these things put in place is a stepping stone to greatness. You need patience, commitment and a burning desire to succeed in this online business.

Once you’ve got your website or blog ready. Get a niche you’re passionate about; it could be Fashion, Food and Nutrition, Technology, Health. Once you have your targeted niche, try building a relationship with them; get to know the problem your niche needs solution to. 

Now you can take action here by creating an Information Product (the problem solver that produces result). This problem solver is what your niche is dying for. Let’s take for example in the area of Health and well being, there are so many fat people that want to lose weight and these people would do anything just to lose weight.

As a smart information marketer, you’d make research on how one can lose weight, and then gradually create that information product that they need to lose weight.

Another example is how to quit smoking.

Create that quality Information product for that niche you’re passionate about and you are on your way to greatness provided you’re determined. 

Advertise your Information product to your targeted niche; convince them about your product, give them a glimpse of what they are buying, earn their trust and be patient.

Sell and Make your Money

Setup a convenient payment system that works. As they pay, they would be able to receive the info product.

After Sale

Be concerned. Don’t just conclude and think that you’re successful already. Get to know if your information product worked for your buyers. If it worked lucky you! If it doesn’t, don’t give up try again.
