How To Create A Money-Making Information Product (Part 3)
(Here are handy links to Part 1 and Part 2 in case you missed them).
So how do you go about actually creating your information product? Well, there’s an easy way, and a somewhat less easy way.
The easy way is simply to pay someone to create the product for you! If you have the money, you can get an average-sized information product created for between $500 and $1,000. And this is probably a good investment if you have the money, so I’ll show you how to do this another time - but basically, you can use a site like Elance.com to get people to bid on your project.
However, if you don’t have the money to invest, you can always create the product yourself - all it will cost you is your time.
First, you’ll need to research each of the problems that your market face. (You discovered what they were in Part 1).
And this is where Google and Yahoo! are your friends. Learn to use Google effectively for research. Remember that not every question is a quick Google search away, so you may need to dig deeper. You could also search on Yahoo! Answers to see if people have previously answered questions on the subject.
It’s also a good idea to take a look at similar products in your niche. Pop down to your local library and see if they have books on the subject you’re writing about. Also, take a look in your local bookstore. If you don’t want to actually buy the books, you could always browse and take mental notes!
If you’re dealing with a more technical subject, find some experts in your niche, and email them. Some may not reply, but those that do will hopefully give you the answers you’re looking for!
Then you just start writing! You could use a free software suite like Open Office to create your information product. Not only can you type it up, but you can also convert it to PDF format, which is probably the best format for digital information products.
Now, if this all seems like too much hard work, then there is an easier way to get started, which I’ll talk about next, so make sure you’re subscribed to this blog.
