James, great! Those are stories I'm looking for. I'd like to blog post about your story on my blog (http://blog.eerlings.com/), would you mind an email interview?

Re:My Challenge: From Service Business to Product Business in 1 Year on Thursday February 21, 2013 @02:43AM (#5256058)

Thanks, I obviously did read all of their books :-)

Re:My Challenge: From Service Business to Product Business in 1 Year on Wednesday February 20, 2013 @04:59PM (#5253656)

This post is not about ebooks, but yes i believe strongly in ebooks: they are products, relatively easy to make, and high margins

Re:My Challenge: From Service Business to Product Business in 1 Year on Wednesday February 20, 2013 @04:03PM (#5253342)

I'm looking for people that did the same: convert their service business into a product business. Anyone?
