Introduction
My name is Glenn Leader, and I live
inast London, UK. Geographically, I live about 15
minutes walk from the Olympic village for the London 2012
Summer Games.
I was born in 1956, so at this
time of writing, I'm 52 years old. I'm a single dad to two
wonderful grownup children. I'm also a grandfather to a
wonderful little boy called Tyler Reese, and a beautiful
grandaughter Tiffany. Sadly they live about 200 miles away
with their mother, and her partner, so I hardly ever get
to see them all. My son lives at home with me.
A bit
about me:
I discovered fairly recently
that all my jobs where I got job satisfaction is helping people
solve their technical problems. Why it took over twenty five
years to realise that, I'll never know. I was a Senior
Laboratory Technician for 14 years for the local Education
Department, and then I went on to be a Senior ICT Support
Engineer for the same Authority for a further 10 years. I was
forced me to re-evaluate my life in 2004 when my job was made
redundant. I decided never to work for another jerk again. The
only way I can guarantee that is to work for myself.
:oD
I've developed five products in
the past few years, with one more in the pipeline.
Keyword
Evolution Pro
I've developed five products
in the past few years, with one more in the pipeline. My first
efforts to develop a product resulted in Keyword Evolution Pro.
This is a keyword manipulation tool, many of my users who own
lots of keyword tools will now only use KEPro almost every
single day.
The
Super Lazy Organic Blogging System
My second
product is SLOBS - Super Lazy Organic Blogging System.
This is a very simple system for organically posting
articles to blogs. Versior two is currently on sale as a
WSO (Warrior Special Offer)

ArtiFact (Article Factory)
Then ArtiFact was born. It's a
content rewriting system. This outputs high quality articles
(provided you enter high quality information) with millions of
unique variations. Tests have shown that ArtiFact produces
upwards of 70% unique human readable articles. In some cases,
there was 100% uniqueness. This version is an online
system.

RINSE (Rapid Internet
Niche Site Evolution)
Then I developed RINSE because
I wanted a very simple and easy way to create websites out of
text articles. Since I can use ArtiFact to create all the
Keyword Rich Content I'll ever need, this seemed like a natural
tool to use. Of course, it'll use PLR articles too.
RINSE is off the market at this
time of writing.
Then I developed
the desktop version of ArtiFact. This is easier to use than the
online version, but not quite as powerful. Most people couldn't
use the extra power that the online version provided
anyway.
I've earned very
good money out of my systems. And if I didn't live in East
London, my money would go a lot further. In some countries I
could live happily off the organic sales of my
products.
All my products have something in
common, and here's a lesson for those who dream, but never act.
All of these products evolved from the problems I was reading
in forums that people had, and that I knew how to
solve.
If you know how to do something
that people badly need (i.e.. lots of similar questions in lots
of forums), get off your backside, and create it.
It doesn't need to be perfect,
but it does have to be good enough. Then let user feedback
guide the future development of your product. I'm not saying
you should produce crap, far from it, but it should be good
enough to fit it's intended purpose. If you waited for
perfection, you'll never get out of the starting
blocks.
Don't let the lack of your
resources stop you from succeeding. Beg, steal, or borrow what
you need. If you need to create videos, then download the 30
day trial of Camtasia. If you want to create a report, but your
English isn't good enough, write it as best you can and ask for
critiques in the forums.
There are always ways to overcome
hurdles, if you can't jump over them, run round them instead.
You will find a way to jump over the hurdles at some time in
the future, you never know, somebody might take you aside and
show you how to jump over them.

If this post helps just one person to create
their own money making products, then it's been
worthwhile writing today.
