Product Creation - Easy Steps to Your Own Ebook - Sean Mize
Product creation is probably one of the most scary propositions online today. I think many people fail online because they are not willing to create their own product.
Sure, affiliate marketing is great, but you never have any control over the sales cycle, the sales process, or the payment stream.
With affiliate marketing, you are at the mercy of the affiliate program. If they pay, great. If they don’t, then what? With your own product and a paypal account or click bank account, you are going to get paid if you produce something worth buying.
So your first step is to simply decide you are going to create your own product.
Where do you go from there?
1) Decide what your niche market needs.
2) Do the necessary research to produce what your niche market needs.
3) Write an outline of all the information you have about your niche market needs.
4) Arrange your outline into chapter ideas. Every full idea you have should become a chapter. Each chapter should have at least 3 sections: a) introduction, explanation, background, b) complete how-to-do-it steps and c) a list of resources and/or references for further information. Never assume you have given all the information; sometimes just hearing it in another voice is what’s needed for some people.
5) Begin writing. This is probably the scariest exercise of all, especially if you have never written. Just do it. Carve out 2 hours a day for writing and just write. Sure, the first few days worth might be worthless, but who cares? You are learning a life long skill; it won’t take you 4 years like your bachelors did, and this will pay better, if you get good at it.
6) Pull it all together, package it up nice, proofread it, upload it into a PDF, put a cover on it, and call it done.
7) Write a sales page. If you cannot write persuasive copy, buy a sales letter creator of some kind (there are several good ones on the market).
8) Put the sales letter on the web and drive traffic to it.
9) Start over with a new product. Don’t let one product get stale before you create the next one.
