Did you know that every single day around 16,000 new WordPress blogs are launched? Some of these are from existing bloggers, but most of them are launched by the newcomers. The competition is getting tough day by day. It is not as easy as it was before to make money with blogs. What to do now? My suggestion: launch your own blogging product and sell it in 2009. I am not kidding. I am really serious. Survey your readers, ask them one by one to find a blogging product that will resolve a real problem related with blogging. This can be an e-book about a specific blogging topic, or if you are good at programming, you can launch a better product than Expert WordPress. How about me? I already started developing my own blogging product. Please be patient. Soon I will let you know about it. I hear you saying, “how come I create my own product? I did not even know how to promote a product”. Well, here are a few guidelines you can refer:

• Read Blog Money: The Income Outlook for 2009 and see why direct sales has become essential for bloggers.
• Get Butterfly Marketing Manuscript For Free and read the sections about product launch.(If you can’t, just let me know, I have already downloaded)
• Visit Jeff Walker’s Produduct Launch Formula blog, and read product launch case studies.ü
• Listen Audio: How To Do A Successful Product Launch – Interview With Michael Cheney
• Listen Podcast: How To Launch A Product Using Your Blog

Even if you can not launch your own product this year, you will start dreaming of launching one in the future.
