Making and selling information products online is a brilliant way to make huge sums of cash. There are many success stories of individuals who have gone on to become millionaires through making and selling this type of product. Before you create your product, however, there are a few important tips that you should follow.
The first important tips is that of 'research'.
Researching your guide can be done in a number of ways.
- Your own information, experience and knowledge can be your greatest source. This in effect is your Intellectual Property (IP). In basic terms, Intellectual Property allows you to 'own' the work that you create. You may already have sufficient information, knowledge and experience to create a high quality information product. More often than not we hold information that other people would be prepared to pay for.
- Another useful way to gain information for your chosen product is to get out there and talk to people who have the information you need. For example, if you wanted to create a guide entitled 'How to become a Publican'; you could go to your local pub and ask the landlord if he or she would spend an hour or so with you talking about how they became a Publican, and the process they went through in order to gain their license.
Here's a list of questions you could ask them in order to start your guide:
- What made them want to get into this type of job?
- What are the pros and cons?
- What type of hours do they work?
- How did they go about obtaining their license?
- What qualifications or training did they need to achieve?
- Where did they get that training?
- How do they liaise with the brewery?
The short list of questions above should already indicate to you that there are a large number of topics and subjects you can cover in any particular guide.
- Close friends and relatives are also a great source for information. By creating a list of contacts and people you know, you can guarantee there will be someone who has a wealth of information that will be invaluable to you. Find out which person has an interesting job, pastime or hobby and then arrange to meet up with them and start asking them questions in order to start your chosen guide.
Creating the 'insiders' feel to your information product guide
The word 'insider' is a great word and it is one that should form the basis of your guide. The internet is full of free information where people can go to in order to gain information about virtually anything. However, 'insider' information is often more harder to come by and people will be prepared to pay extra money for the privilege.
For example, maybe you are a parent who has recently helped your son or daughter prepare for their 11+ exams and you have come up with a neat way to help them pass. You have a created a number of sample test questions that your child benefited from, and they achieved great results from your help and guidance. Now you can make a guide out of this information and sell it to other parents as an 'insider's guide to passing the 11+'.
It is crucial that you try to create a guide that goes that extra mile to help a person gain an advantage. This is where the gold mine lies. If you can create an information product that helps people to either become something, or pass something, then you are onto a certain winner.
Always aim to help people and make their lives better when creating information products, and any internet business for that matter. If you do this, your customers will come bcak to you time and time again.
