Yep, Just Another "How To Create Informational Products"
Article...
Any man, woman, and in some cases, any child, can write a
saleable product on any subject as long as they have the
knowledge of that subject through personal experience, research,
or both. The list of subjects that can be written about is
endless.
Creating a product is easy and pretty simple. However, it can
take longer and require more sweat, blood and anguish for some
people to produce a completed product than it does for others,
even if they are equally knowledgeable.
When creating an information product you should always write as
though you are talking to the reader. Write in a way that's
similar to the way you were instructed to write book reports in
high school.
You should be factual and clear. Know who your reader is and
what type of language they expect you to use. By this I mean
that you should build-up a rapport with the reader that he can
feel. The reader should get the impression that you're talking
directly to them.
Informational reports on how to make money usually sell very
well, but you must think about your competition. Believe me,
there is ALOT of competition! Other great products could contain
information about how to learn and develop and prepare for a new
career, how to save money, how to make more time for leisure
activities, how to solve personal problems or how to attain
greater success.
Simply pick a subject that has sales appeal and that will sell
well for you. This is not as hard to do as it sounds. All you
have to do is write about something that you already know. When
you write about something you already have knowledge on your
enthusiasm will show through. If you're not a strong writer this
is a benefit for you because it will cause your reader to
overlook your writing weaknesses!
Once you've decided on a subject you're next step is to do very
thorough research. Read as much about your topic as you can
find. Get information from the Internet, the library,
newspapers, magazines and books. They used to say that you
should spend a good six weeks or so researching your subject and
gathering notes, but since the Internet is so full of great
information it doesn't take nearly as long anymore. I've even
seen it reported that some people can produce a product in as
little as 1-3 days!
My only opinionated suggestion to you is that you take at least
one day off from your information before you create your final
copy. Set aside your first draft and allow your brain, body and
especially your creative juices to rejuvinate. Then, go over
your rough draft and polish it up.
This is when you should make sure that your words are easy to
read and easy to understand. If this is the case then each
sentence will flow very smoothly. If you're sentences flow in
this manner your words will be much easier to comprehend.
Once your product is complete it will have the potential to make
quite a bit of money for you. Then, all you have to do is go
find a report on how and where to sell it for the best results.
Better yet, maybe you could create that product, too!
