Do you want to start selling information products on the Internet?
If yes, the best way to start is to create short reports. Let me explain the complete strategy.
1. Find a large market with thousands of buyers. There are a lot of them on the Internet. Here are a couple of examples.
*Golf
* Weightloss
* Mixed martial arts
* Health
Once you have determined your target market, you want to dig deeper into the niche. Let’s say you want to market your products to the weight loss market.
Don’t try to write a 240 page eBook because it will take months before you can see any income. And I know for sure that most of the time, beginners who want to write an eBook find themselves in these two situations.
1. They take more than four months to complete the eBook.
2. They never complete it and they never make any money. Needless to say, this is the worst case scenario. It’s better late than never after all.
So what’s the smart way to create and sell eBooks?
Start with a short report. Just focus on one question and write ten pages about it. Let me give you an example. Since I am a martial artist, I will choose this market for the sake of our example.
I would write a short report and call it “10 Tips for Getting Started in Martial Arts.” Each tip would be a question, and she would write a page for each of these tips. Because I have experience, I can write a short report in less than 24 hours. If you are just starting out, it may take up to a week.
Once the reports were finished, he would add an introduction and a conclusion, and save them as a pdf. I use Open Office Writer to do this. It’s fast and free.
The third step is to create a web page to sell the eBook. Since it’s a short report, I can price it at $10 to start building a buyers list.
Once you are done, start the next report.
