Partner with iSixSigma Publications

Ever consider writing an e-book or...
...or publishing that template you designed...
...or what about the training manual you once wrote...
...or have you thought about selling the clever computer application you created?

If what has held you back is all the hassle of marketing, promotion, distribution and sales, then take heart. Now you can sell your electronic publications with little or no effort beyond the creation of the product. Just partner with iSixSigma Publications and you will be on your way. iSixSigma Publications is a highly practical resource geared for business professionals interested in improving business execution.

  1. iSixSigma creates the listing, which includes copy writing, editing, layout and graphics.
  2. iSixSigma promotes and markets your products to over 500,000 readers who are interested in improving business execution, through website promotion, newsletters, dedicated emails, our print magazine, our Job Shop and much more.

What makes it even better is:

How does payment work?
iSixSigma Publications pays partners all the revenue received from their products minus a commission and product returns. The iSixSigma Publications commission is 45%, which covers all of the benefits listed above (listing, promotion, sales, delivery, customer support, etc.).

How much can I make?
Let's say you create a 50-page e-book that details how Six Sigma can be implemented in Information Technology groups, and includes sample projects, dashboards for IT leaders, benchmarking information and a how-to guide. You price this book at $19.95 and it sells well (every company has an IT department, after all) - 60 sales per month. The total revenue would be $1,197 per month or $14,364 per year. Subtracting iSixSigma's commission (and assuming negligible returns), you would receive $658 per month or $7,900 per year - all without doing any of the work to market, sell, transact, distribute, handle customer service or anything else. Create a fantastic product once and collect revenue month after month. Create a new product from time to time and you can keep increasing your income!

How do you get started?
First off, you need to write or create materials that business professionals want. They could be in many forms, including:
  • E-books (10- to 500-page documents)
  • Training materials (Microsoft PowerPoint slides which can include instructor notes)
  • Templates (Microsoft Excel or Word)
  • Reports
  • Software
  • Examples (control plans, communication plans)
  • You name it!
OK, I've written a great business publication!
