I just read an awesome blog post on Nettuts that Envato has opened a new marketplace for tutorials and books online. So, now, besides a marketplace to sell themes and digital contents, Envator has officially tapped into the tutorials and e-book selling world, became a middle man to deliver quality products that will help users achieve success and help authors to increase their income. That blog post is such a wonderful news for me, and for you, as bloggers, because it will open a new, exciting way to make money online in 2010 and let me tell you why.
Make instant cash flow by writing tutorials
I think Envato Tutorials marketplace has opened endless opportunities for us to make money online. Why? It’s because as bloggers, we write a lot of content everyday, especially tutorials to guide our readers on how to achieve something that are in our niche. Let’s close your eyes and count how many tutorials you have written this month. I bet it would be a lot, right?
So, by putting a little more effort into the tutorials that you already write to make it looks more professionally such as adding a table of content, adding a custom cover image and a clear description about it, your tutorial has became something that makes money for you years to come.
In addition, I have known a lot of my friends who sell tutorials online. However, they end up wasting their time and effort selling to the forums and trying to market it. I think the most important point why I confidently say Tutorials marketplace will impact the way you make money online is you don’t need to market your products at all. Envato marketplaces have been known very well on the Internet so your tutorials have a good chance to be seen online without spending any money to market for it.
Imagine bloggers like Darren Rowse writing a tutorials on “A complete beginner guide to blogging” or Christ Garrett selling “Tutorial on how to become an authority blogger” on Envato Tutorials marketplace, I can see a huge sale and huge amount of money flow into their pocket.
Crazy money making from selling eBooks
You have probably know that Darren Rowse, an owner of Problogger.net, write his e-books and sell them through e-junkie. If you go to his blog, you will see that income from selling his own products take 29%, which is the largest portion in his total income.
If Darren Rowse and other bloggers can write and earn nice income from e-books, why can’t you? Of course writing e-books would take more time and effort than writing tutorials, but, that effort pays well.
As I said, Envato Tutorials will impact the way you make money online because you don’t have to promote your own products alone. Envato has a lot of affiliates who are willing to promote your products as well as the others. You also don’t need to handle other things like download system, membership, etc because Envato has all of those features integrated. In addition, you don’t have to set up a website, you don’t have to set up reviews, etc. Just write a quality e-book and a great description and you’re good to go. That’s why it will impact the way bloggers will make money online; reduce unnecessary work and let bloggers focus more on creating valuable content.

Making cash writing tutorials is great and the Envato blogs are great. Another way to make cash with the Envato website’s is to use ThemeForest, selling graphics/websites layouts there is great and I’ve seen layouts sell for $37 for 2,000 times there! I love the work ethic of Envato. Great post Mike.

That’s right Karl. If your items go popular in Envato marketplace, it’s most likely that you will observe a huge sale, huge amount of income into your account. Of course you will need to work hard to make it, my friend

It is going to be crazy. The new tutorial store will allow bloggers to make bank! The benefit with Themeforest compared to any other affiliate is that they have sooo much to offer that even if you send someone over to purchase a certain tutorial that is only $4 they may end up depositing $100 into their account so they can buy several tutorials/e-books or even a WordPress theme.
I am trying to figure out how I can take advantage of this on the blog section of my site…I already have gotten 350 people to register at themeforest and looking forward to my soon to come 500-999 members referred badge. I think this new store will help get me there sooner

That’s what I’m talking about Aj
