data-spread=\"false\">\n<li><strong>Continues creating value:<\/strong>\u00a0 An Asset is essentially a product that can be sold.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s well researched and documented, it&#8217;s value remains and can be improved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can be reused:<\/strong>\u00a0 An asset can be used in whole or in part in many places.\u00a0 Blogs, Websites, emails, videos, audios, etc.\u00a0 The asset has valuable information in it that continues to endure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can generate leads:<\/strong>\u00a0 A simple form to collect leads can be embedded in a written asset or linked to a blogpost that has a form to collect leads.\u00a0 With a simple headline, subheadline and a few bullets or a graphic, collecting leads into your autoresponder is the first priority you should have.\u00a0 An email list is your most important and valuable asset.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can generate sales:\u00a0<\/strong> Sales pages are very valuable assets that bring in cash or ongoing subscriptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can build authority:<\/strong>\u00a0 Building authority is getting more and more important as AI and LLM on which they are based are being used on Search engines such as Google.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure you have seen at the top of the Google search engine that AI is giving the first answer.\u00a0 Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if it brought your site up at the top of Google when a relevant question comes up for which you have the answer?\u00a0 That&#8217;s how AI and the AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) work.\u00a0 One important new information that we just discovered.\u00a0 See <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aiassetman.com\/answer-engine-optimization-aeo-how-to-write-so-ai-wants-to-recommend-you\/\"

your blog or maybe a video or video series.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>Asset<\/strong> is information that contains content but is more in depth and contains information that not all people know or understand.\u00a0 Thus it has learning value and can be sold as PLR or blog content or other when grouped with similar information.\u00a0 The asset can be written, Video or audio or a set of these.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Content<\/strong> says&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Look at me today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Assets<\/strong> say&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;I&#8217;m still helping people next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Why Assets
