Creating Your Own Product: Finishing Touches
Creating Your Own Product: Finishing Touches
Copyright 2005 Ronald Gibson
Now that you have written and compiled your new product, it is
time for some finishing touches.
Here, we’re going to talk about how generating a specific set of
graphics and using them in combination on your ‘mini’ website
will help you earn more money and generate a better response
than just a plain old text based website. Each portion of the
creative process has been broken down into different sections so
you can read what you need.
“COVERING” IT UP
A well known fact when selling anything to anyone is that using
a picture along with a powerful description will boost your
sales. So, you will need to have an image of your product.
Whether it is an ebook cover, a report jacket, cd cover, or
software box, you need to have an original image for your
product.
Here are a few products you can use, AT
NO COST to begin
generating some good looking cover images.

MAKING THE PAGE
Now it’s time for the next group of graphics you’ll need to
create that will help improve the look and selling power of your
‘mini’ website. However, before you start making sensational
website graphics, you need the images that will give you just
the right look to showcase your product properly.
Most graphics will be comprised of images and text, but some
will also contain special effects generated with the use of more
expensive photo editing tools such as PhotoShop —
http://www.adobe.com — , or Paint Shop Pro —
http://www.jasc.com — (even though Paint Shop Pro costs just
, it’s a
bargain compared to PhotoShop at a more costly 9).
First, let me give you a couple of wonderful places to look for
FREE images that you can download and use, most of them anyway,
royalty-free:
— STOCK X CHANGE — http://www.sxc.hu – It’s the BEST online.
Check it out, seriously.
— WEBSOUP.ORG — http://www.websoup.org – You can find lots of
things here besides free image repositories.
— iSTOCKPHOTO — http://www.istockphoto.com – Even though you
have to pay for the use of these images, it’s pretty inexpensive
at just .50 per image.
What good will these images do you if you don’t have a tool to
help you utilize them properly? So, here is another free gift
for you that will help you create integral parts of your ‘mini’
site. **Please Note** – You will require Adobe PhotoShop to use
this gift.
ACTION PAK GOLD ACTIONSCRIPTS FOR
PHOTOSHOP”
http://www.webadvertisingsecrets.com/actionpakgold.zip
This package contains 3 action scripts that will generate a
header graphic, an order button graphic, and a custom designed
logo background. It’s a wonderful package to use. Only downfall,
it requires PhotoShop.
So, now that we have our graphics all done up, there’s only one
thing left to do before we move on to the final step. And that
is creating our ‘mini’ website. To help you out with this
process, here is yet another free gift for you to use called
Order Page Magic created by our protégé, Louis Burleson:
http://www.webadvertisingsecrets.com/OrderPageMagic.zip
It will help you develop a great ‘mini’ page, or order page if
you prefer, that has been proven to convert potential customers
into buying customers. This software tool will take you by the
hand and lead you down the
path to your ‘mini’ site creation.
And really, a targeted niche ‘mini’ site that only promotes one
product is in essence an order page because you want people that
come in search of more information on your subject matter that
come to your page to buy your product. That’s what a ‘mini’ site
will do. It takes all the guess work out for your site visitors
and gives them just one option….to buy your product.
You have sucessfully created your own information product. Now,
it is time to take your new product “to the market”.
