thanks,

On that note, good luck to everyone and I wish everyone good luck with in their marketing ventures.

The idea is that you have some contractual right to the IP in whatever form it exists. Your contractual right may come from being the inventor, or it could come from a variety of other relationships you might have with the inventor or company who holds the full list of rights IPR can convey to an owner.

Sorry about the site access difficulty. Ironically, our dedicated server experienced some trouble on the same day as Yaro published this post. Its like jamming with the Rolling Stones and realizing your amp was unplugged. Fortunately, it wasn’t down too long and is back up now. You should have no trouble now accessing the course, etc. now.

I believe that your article will help to convince others that blogging is not just a fad and it really does work!

In fact, the blog’s a great place to develop and work with ideas, even for people like me who do not place ads or monetize the site currently. I am a published author and thought I may write more about my published works there eventually. Yet, the value of a great community of diverse thinkers – with high ethical standards is an amazing payback so far.

I’ll keep your dynamic facts though, since my own regular work at the MITA Brain Based Center is trademarked and is also unique. Simply put, I was inspired by your spirited suggestions for all that a blog could be, and what you say rings true. Great incentive to keep building – even after starting again from scratch – as I too have found blogging to be a golden opportunity in many of the ways you suggested here. All to say thanks for the keeper, Shane!

However, this is definitely another way of looking at one’s IP. Interesting twist.

RE: Charles – Charles,

You raise a good point. Fortunately, the options for the IPR holder to enforce their rights without becoming overly distracted or spending out of pocket cash have greatly improved in recent years. For example, many law firms will now go after IPR infringers on your behalf without charging you any money up front. They share in what they recover.

Another example is the Customs agency, such as US Customs. They can stop shipments from coming into the US for you by seizing them before they enter the country.

Turning these problems over to a third-party is a great way for a blogger/IPR owner to stay focused and keep the stress down while building superior value.

RE: Mike – Great question about where to find good IPR. This is what has been missing, in my view. I developed a methodology to help people identify the IPR that best fits their goals, interests, resources, etc. That is part of what I teach in, “The Coming Economic Boom For Bloggers and “Uncover Hidden Capital Toolkit.” Occasionally, I run across a database someone has put together but I’ve never found them to be powerful enough to accommodate a wide range of interests and needs. So I think it is better to go with a strategy for finding what you want and accessing the information that way. It’s all out there, sometimes just down the street from where you work or live. I find the skill of knowing what to look for and how to find it solves the problem of figuring out where to find it.

RE: Jonathan – Struggling to make it practical. When people first see the concept it can create a rush of questions. But when you get into the specific steps you would take and the questions you would ask yourself to find the IPR that works for you, it really becomes quite tangible and simple to understand. From a 50,000 foot altitude perspective, think of it in these broad terms. (1) You have a blog that focuses on a topic for which you have a passion and your readers share that passion. (2) That topic is likely associated with products (digital or physical) that people buy. (3) Now imagine you are able to own the rights to just some of the products that audience buys. (4) You monetize your blog by providing those products. You monetize the products through your blog and other sources too, if you wish. The rights have high value.

Quick note: We are in the processing of applying Yaro’s “X” Factor discussed in his “Become A Blogger” course to every module in our program. We should have it all done this week. While we are in the transition, I am providing some additional practical information that will no doubt help bloggers move into the world of making money through IPR and their blog. All the details are now available at yourproductmade.com. FYI: The “X” Factor Yaro teaches has all the benefits he discusses, but I have realized that from an instructor’s point of view it allows me to cover more material too and I didn’t see that at first.

This is a well done blog.

As far as IPR products are concerned, where would you suggest looking for products that would do well for a given audience? Is there a directory of some sort or is it largely a matter of getting lucky and stumbling into something?

And, by the way, I went to YourProductMade.com and the waiting list form presented a problem. I’m using Firefox 3.05 and Windows Vista.

Cheers, D.

Awaiting some light,
