One of the most reliable ways to build your online business is to have your own product. The question is... WHAT do you sell? The infoproduct is the most accessible way for almost anyone to sell their own product on the Internet. E-book is the best infoproduct for the beginners to sell online Because: - Easy to create. - Low or zero cost to create= low risk, high profit margin. - Higher perceived value. - Easy to fulfill and manage. - It’s scalable. Ebook Possible formats… -PDF (Recommended) -Word Doc -Text file -HTML page -Exe file -Kindle and other special formats The best tool is MS Office 2007 Ebook Formatting - 8 1/2 x 11″ - 12-14 point font - Times New Roman (most common for printed books) - Arial (great for reading on-screen) Tricks to take up more space… Components I include in my ebooks: -Title Page -Legal Disclaimer Page -Table of Contents -Chapters -Resource Section The hardest part is simply getting the content that will be in the product. How can you get content for your infoproduct? 1) Compile it yourself (hard work) - Research online, Google, Wikipedia, Articles, go to the library, etc. 2) Your Brain - How can I turn my experience into a product that I can sell? Or… what idea can I extract from my brain and sell? 3) Someone else’s brain (probably an expert) - Many experts love giving interviews, and they’ll do it for free. 4) Partners create it - This works especially well if there is another part of the process that you can be responsible for. 5) Contributors give it to you - Article compilation, giveaway event, etc. 6) Other stuff you own (Recycle and repurpose)- Old college papers, old books/ebooks… turn them into audio/video, etc. 7) Public Domain - Books, images, music, and even video. Resource: www.gutenberg.org 8] Private Label Rights Material (PLR) - Can be a great source of content. But be sure to DO something with it, rebrand it, maybe add unique content, etc. 9) Outsource it. I’ll introduce one of my simplest methods to you. Find some valuable raw materials(content) which are closely associated with your ebook topic. (these materials can be collected from free reports,articles, salesletters ebooks,introductions, etc or PLR materials.) Use Notepad, PDFconverter, and office software to assemble and edit the content into your ebook according to your thread. Following are the steps: 1) Copy the paragraph or section and paste them into Notepad. 2) If it’s a PDF file(most popular online), use the PDFconverter to convert it into a text file. (if you want to keep the photograph,diagram,or icon of the original PDF file, convert it into Rtf file first,then go to step 1. Rtf file can be edit by MS Word , and save in a doc file.) 3) Then copy and paste them into your Word or Powerpoint file to edit. Add some photograph,diagram,or icon in it, edit the content. Put your links in it. 4) Publish it in a PDF file Format.You made your own e-book!
