I recently received my POC Talk newsletter and was shocked and thrilled to see that I have been nominated for the 2009 Harold Taylor Award. What an honor and a surprise!!! Thank you so much to whoever nominated me. I did not see this coming and am just thrilled to be apart of such a distinguished list of organizers.

Nominees are the people who have been recognized by their peers as having given something back to POC, its members, and the organizing industry. The winner will be announced at the National POC Conference in Calgary this November. I will be a speaker the conference. The presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. I look forward to meeting many organizers.

Thank you for this honor. I am proud to be apart of POC and have always wanted to give as much as I can to other organizers and the organizing industry. That is why A Red Bench was born!

Just A Few Reasons To Consider An Information Product

So I have been spending the last few weeks working on my POC National Conference Presentation. So excited to be selected as a speaker at this Fall’s Calgary Conference. My presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. The session is for organizers in years 1-5 of business who want to expand their existing business and for new organizers who are considering an alternative business model.

As I work on my slides, which are due this week, I am reminded at how much I love information products and how happy I am Angela and I have built A Red Bench using them as revenue streams. Here are a few benefits:

Passive income
Relatively easy additional revenue stream
Little investment with large profit margin
Paid over and over for one time effort
Expands your customer base
Marketing and cross promotion opportunities
Gives you a product to sell at a speaking events
Gives you something to give away as a bonus
Give you a lead in product to familiarize the customer with your services.

We’ve already had a fantastic Teleclass called From Ideas to Information Products with experts from Marketing EdgeVentures and have a booklet called Expanding Your Business with Information Products.

If you ask most business owners, they are too busy to even think of working on an information product. But it doesn’t have to complex, take a great deal of time or money. If you haven’t not done so already, consider adding an information product to your products and services and you’ll be far and away above from the competition.

So excited to learn I have been selected as a speaker at the Professional Organizers in Canada National Conference being held in Calgary, Alberta in November. The presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. The session is for organizers in years 1-5 of business who want to expand their existing business and for new organizers who are considering an alternative business model.

Using information products, you leverage every opportunity and start increasing and protecting your income stream. A Red Bench’s business model is built on using information products as a revenue stream. Using our 6-Step Infopreneur Process, you will leave with the process to go from mind to marketplace and start earning passive income.

Thank you POC Conference Committee for selecting me and A Red Bench to be a part of your awesome conference!
