			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens if you want to sell your own ebook online, but you&#039;re not sure if you are the one to write it?</p>
<p>Is it ok to outsource the writing of your ebook to a ghostwriter?</p>
<p>Since we have direct experience publishing top selling ebooks that I have written completely and others where I used a ghostwriter, we can confirm that either approach will work. </p>
<p>There are however some factors you want to take into account when considering outsourcing the writing of your ebook or information product.</p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3 Tips For Getting Your Ebook Written</span></h3>
<p><strong>1. You want to control the outline.</strong> </p>
<p>No matter how much of the research and/or writing you decide to outsource, you want to outline your ebook, book or info product yourself. &#034;How To&#034;, informational ebooks (info products)  are best organized around a set of steps, tips, stages or tasks that will help your reader <strong><em>achieve the desired end result</em></strong> (lose weight, manage stress, train their dog, etc&#8230;)  After all, that&#039;s why they pull their wallet out of their pocket and send you their order &#8211; so they can accomplish something they desire faster, easier or less painfully that they otherwise would be able to do. So, you want to do your research and find out what system will help them achieve their desired outcome &#8211; that becomes your outline and you don&#039;t want to leave this to someone else because writers don&#039;t get this and yet it is so critical to the success of your ebook or info product</p>
<p><strong>2. Writing is as simple as talking.</strong> </p>
<p>When you write an information product, your reader is not looking for brilliant writing, they want to consume your information in a simple, effective, clear and concise way to help them achieve their desired result. Two things will kill an ebook &#8211; verbose writing or writing over the heads of your audience and wandering aimlessly around your topic instead of sticking to the outline.  Beyond that, writing is very straightforward if you keep your points clear and concise. </p>
<p><strong>3. Personalize your ebook.</strong> </p>
<p>Use examples from your own research, experience or from 3rd party research (interviews, case studies) &#8212; even if you outsource the writing of your ebook, you want to bring in your own opinions, experiences, knowledge where you can&#8230;it personalizes your system and makes your ebook unique. </p>
<p>Lastly &#8211; if you do decide to outsource part or all of your ebook writing, look first for a writer that has direct experience (or at least past experience writing) within your niche.  The advantage is that they can provide experience and examples that add to the value of the ebook and they will often charge much less because they need to spend less time researching and writing. </p>
<p>The key to writing an ebook effectively is your outline, get that right and you will find your ebook almost writes itself. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You hear a great deal today about creating your own ebooks, self-published books or even videos, multimedia packages or paid membership sites &#8211; a burgeoning business we like to call information marketing which has been a Billion dollar opportunity for those involved over the last few years.</p>
<p>What is information marketing or info product publishing?</p>
<p>Simple &#8211; it is the process of identifying niche topics that people desperately want to know more about, specifically &#034;how to&#034; topics where they desire outcomes such as losing weight, training their pet, overcoming an illness, improve their parenting, enhance their business or finances, improve themselves through personal development, get better at their relationships, and so on&#8230;</p>
<p>In other words, they are looking for shortcuts, systems, tips and information that will help them to be, do, or have something they seek or avoid pain they currently have or fear.</p>
<p>That&#039;s all fine, but how can YOU create a 60-page ebook or self-published book, membership site of home study course that will create your own internet business for you &#8211; and what will make your products high enough quality that people will buy?</p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">8 Factors To Painlessly Producing High Quality Info Products&#8230;And Make Money!</span></h3>
<p>Many people that use <a title="info product marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Information Marketer&#039;sZone</a> to ramp up their internet information publishing businesses assume that they must be some kind of highly trained writer or an in-depth expert on their topic to create high-demand, high-quality information products.</p>
<p>Not true&#8230;in having coached and studies hundreds of millions of dollars in successful info products we have most often seen the opposite.</p>
<p>That people who do a great job at understanding the desires of their customers do much better at creating products &#8211; and do it much faster than writers do.</p>
<p>Specifically, here are 8 factors that DO matter when producing your own info products to sell on the internet&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Your information product delivers!</strong> If you promise a system to lose 10-pounds in 30-days, then you better deliver a SYSTEM that tells them exactly what to do to get there &#8211; not a general informational guide, but a real system.<br />
<strong>2. Deliver information that can be consumed and applied</strong>&#8230;step-by-step, easy, yet detailed enough to fill in the blanks without losing your audience.  In the land of information marketing, a guide that sais&#8230;do this, do that, now do this, and expect that&#8230;is much better than a 200-page general coverage of your topic.<br />
<strong>3. Your infoproduct should be well organized</strong>, logical to follow and where applicable, structured in the order of which people will consume your information.  For example, if they must first develop the right mindset for losing weight, then apply your exercise plan, then change their diet &#8211; that is how your ebook, book or info product should be structured<br />
<strong>4. Present your information professionally </strong>- lots of whitespace, short paragraphs, clear chapter or module headings, summary points after each lesson, chapter or module.  Not over the top, but it should follow the general guidelines you see in professionally published products&#8230;<br />
<strong>5. Use graphics &#8211; quality beats quantity</strong> &#8211; don&#039;t go crazy, a few well placed graphics can significantly enhance the appeal and perceived value of your info product</p>
<p><strong><br />
6. Professionally and quickly delivered. </strong> Don&#039;t forget that how and when people get your product is the very first post-sale perception your customer will have about you, your company and your products&#8230;pay attention.  If it is digital, they they should get it within a few minutes.  If physical, give them specific directions on when they should see it and perhaps deliver a module or bonus digitally to hold them over.  Survey them after they received your product &#8211; let them comment on your order and delivery system as well as your products<br />
<strong>7. Pay attention to packaging, the cover</strong> or label is important as this is your customer&#039;s first impression</p>
<p><strong>8. Consider delivering your information in a format other than just an ebook.</strong> As information publishers, we are in the business of delivering desired outcomes to our customers.  That means lessons, courses, video tutorials, coaching sessions, continually updated membership sites, seminars, teleseminars&#8230;are all highly professional, high quality ways to deliver the same information at a much higher price point to our customers.</p>
<p>Does that give you a better idea of what it takes to develop your own hot-selling information product?</p>
<p>Hopefully you can see that this is a business almost anyone can enter today and within 30-45 days have your own information product selling on the internet making you additional income streams that will keep pumping cash into your bank account long after you are done.</p>
<p>My take is that too many new (and experienced) information marketers take the writing too seriously, take far too long to release their first (or next product) and fail to make significant sales because they have not properly targeted desire or packaged information to deliver to their customers&#8230;now you know, put your head down and get going!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to lesson 2 of the &#034;5 Part Massive Profits With Ebooks &amp; Info Products&#034; Workshop. </p>
<p><a title="find ebook topic" href="http://www.highertrustmarketing.com/blog/write-a-book/lesson-1-finding-and-positioning-your-ebook-topic/" target="_blank">In lesson 1, we learned how to Find and Position our Ebook Topic</a>, in today&#039;s lesson we are going to cover how to get rolling on developing your first (or next) information product and how to make writing and development simple and painless. </p>
<p>The goal is to help you get your first info product on it&#039;s way &#8211; even finished within the next 7-days. </p>
<p>As you know, having your own report, ebook, audio course or other information product is a terrific way to help boost your monthly income &#8211; yes that means making money &#8211; but is also a terrific way to brand yourself and your business in the most competitive markets. </p>
<h2>AVOID THESE INFO MARKETING MISTAKES</h2>
<p>Before we jump into some tips for getting your info product completed, let me make the following important points about mistakes people make when developing their own info products (BIG HINT ** You want to avoid making these money losing mistakes):</p>
<p><strong>1. Trying to do too much in their first info product.</strong>  I know many ebook authors who have built up so much tension about their project that they will NEVER get it done.  Instead of trying to write 150-pages in your first ebook, instead think of it as a<em> &#034;mini-ebook&#034;</em> or even a report where your main purpose is to bring about a desired outcome with somewhere between 40-60 pages (if it is a written product) and approx 1-hour(if it is an audio product). </p>
<p>To put that into perspective &#8211; imagine writing 10 articles on a topic over the next week &#8211; could you do that?  Could you write 10, 3-page articles over the next week if you really put your mind to it?  That&#039;s two articles each workday or 1 article each workday with another 5 on the weekend.  Assuming each article takes you 30-minutes to write, we&#039;re talking about 5-hours total to get your first information product draft completed. </p>
<p>Is that something that seems possible?</p>
<p>Even in the most extraordinary of circumstances, that should be something you can accomplish within 2-weeks, still meaning that you can have your own product finished and earning you money within the next 30-days.</p>
<p><strong>2. Aim for incremental improvement&#8230;not being perfect on Day 1.</strong>  Yes, your product must answer the question and deliver on the promise that you are committing to in your marketing, but that doesn&#039;t mean you need to tackle ALL of the problem at once. </p>
<p>For instance, let&#039;s say your goal is to develop an ebook on a complete weight loss program that incorporates diet, nutrition, exercise, motivation and mental aspects into the leading weight loss system for new mom&#039;s. </p>
<p>It&#039;s ok to start with the ultimate, &#034;New Mom&#034; diet for weight loss as a first edition and entry into the market. Once that product is released you can build additional feedback mechanisms into your customer follow-up sequence and find out what &#034;else&#034; your customers want &#8211; then in 3-months, come out with a 2cnd edition that is even more complete and for which you can increase your price. </p>
<p>Software developers have a model called &#034;incremental development&#034; where they bit off chunks of their project over multiple releases &#8211; improving as they grow their business rather than waiting and waiting until they have the perfect product&#8230;this model works extremely well.</p>
<p>3.<strong> 95% of time wasted on developing info products is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">wasted!</span></strong> What I mean by this is all the times people spend re-doing their products, stuck with writer&#039;s block, stopping and starting new projects, avoiding the really poroductive work of writing or creating audio or video for your products instead opting for answering email, Twittering or other time wasting activity. </p>
<p>Look, if you really want to have your own information product making you money in the next 30-days, you will have to block out 1-hour each day for uninterrupted, focused product development time&#8230;nothing short of a 9.0 earthquake should take you from this dedicated time. </p>
<p>Pay attention to when you work best.  I allocate the first hour of every day to product development, because that is when I am freshest &#8211; I&#039;m MOST productive and most creative&#8230;the words just flow.  Leave it until 8PM at night and it is very hit or miss for me given the type of day I&#039;ve had. </p>
<p><strong>4. Laser-focused on targeted systems for bringing about desired outcomes.</strong>  Don&#039;t waste time writing general information about your topic, instead, stick to answering &#034;what does my customer want to be,have,do, achieve or avoid by buying my ebook or info product?  Then, stick to outlining a system that takes them toward that achievement. </p>
<p>Too much time is wated in ebook writing with general information, background, story telling and general dribble that really adds very little value to your product, but takes weeks and weeks of your time needlessly. </p>
<p>Use the outlining system we discuss below to keep you on track and watch as you complete your ebook or info product in record time.</p>
<h2>SECRET OUTLINING TECHNIQUES OF MIILLIONAIRE INFO PRODUCT PUBLISHERS</h2>
<p>It&#039;s no secret as to why many of the top information publishers are also trainers, speakers and consultants&#8230;it&#039;s because they have figured out the REAL value of information is in producing testable, verifiable, systematic training toward achieving a desired outcome. </p>
<p>General, fluffy books are for bookstores &#8211; they are the books that get read once, make their authors a few thousand bucks in royalties (if they are lucky) and then are quickly forgotten. </p>
<p>Highly desired, high-priced information products where your customers become raving fans, repeat buyers and hand you 10&#039;s of thousands of dollars each month are laser-focused, systems and course-based &#034;how-to&#034; products that help your reader answer their most pressing questions on the road to realizing highly desired outcomes. </p>
<p>So, let&#039;s start with two HUGELY important techniques involved in outlining your information product:</p>
<p><strong>1. Outline With Questions:</strong>  This one single technique was the #1 factor in getting my own writing and info product development from months down to days.  Specifically, the outline of your &#034;how to&#034; ebook, report or any info product should be a series of questions your market will need to have answered prior to achieving their end goal. </p>
<p>For example, we have decided to target new mothers in their quest to lose 10-lbs taking into account the following:</p>
<p> - They need to be able to fit their exercise into 1-hour each day<br />
 - They want something they can do with other mothers or friends around them<br />
 - They can&#039;t jump right into high-impact excercise &#8211; it must be low impact<br />
 - Exercise is a good all-around approach since it will also help emotionally deal with being a new mother</p>
<p>So &#8211; what sorts of questions might our mothers have?  Here are some that come to mind:</p>
<p>a) Can I look like I did before having children?<br />
b) How long will it take?<br />
c) Do I need to diet or do painful exercise?<br />
d) How about low-impact exercise like walking or swimming?<br />
e) How much walking will I have to do to lose 10lbs?<br />
f) What makes walking such a healthy activity?<br />
g) How does the speed of my walking impact weight loss?<br />
h) Can I use a treadmill?<br />
i) What should my activity level look like on the first week?<br />
j) What should my activity level look like in the second week?<br />
k) Should I make any changes in my diet? <br />
l) What about the third week, what should I do then? <br />
m) What results should I expect after the mid-point?<br />
n) What should my activity be in the fourth week? <br />
o) What if I miss a few days? <br />
etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Let me ask you this&#8230;could you sit down and write 2/3 to 1 page in answer to each of these questions (or similar questions you would use for your own topic area?)</p>
<p>With roughly one page per question, you structure 10 questions per chapter and within a few weeks you will have 5-6 chapters totally 50-60 pages and viola &#8211; you have your own top selling ebook first draft completed. </p>
<p>By structuring your outline using questions, you trick your mind into making the entire exercise of product development and writing so simple&#8230;no more stress, no more avoidance, no more writer&#039;s block, just rapid progress toward your goal. </p>
<p>Ok, so what if you don&#039;t know what questions your audience want answered?  Or, you need help filling out your list? </p>
<p>Watch this 15-minute video I have temporarily made available from inside <a href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com">http://www.infomarketerszone.com</a> &#8211; this will help you identify a rich supply of the most asked questions in your niche market&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_938" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com/public/197.cfm?sd=2"><img class="size-full wp-image-938 " title="blog-video" src="http://www.highertrustmarketing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/blog-video.jpg" alt="Click To Watch The Video" width="200" height="211" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Click To Watch The Video</p></div>
<p><strong>2. Step-by-step Outline:</strong>  While so many of us are taught to write stories in school, what we really want to do with our information products is to share a series of steps with our readers that will allow them to progressively learn and apply your techniques to reach a desired outcome. </p>
<p>So, the second powerful tip I have to give you is to structure your information, tips, steps, strategies, and advice in terms of a &#034;SYSTEM&#034;.  Just as a course has a carriculum, a training program has a schedule, a Powerpoint presentation has a series of steps &#8212; you want to organize your &#034;how to&#034; information into a set of actionable steps that will both enhance the value of your info product and make it easier to measure success. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even with one of the most comprehensive, take-you-by-the-hand, proven info product marketing systems based on the <a title="Info Marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Million dollar info product publishing business secrets</a>, there are still many who will NOT be able to use this information in their quest to create wealth with their online business.</p>
<p>Why not? </p>
<p>We know the systems work.</p>
<p>We teach and support every client so that they WILL succeed with their goals.</p>
<p>The system includes tools, video training and even ongoing support &#8211; seemingly, everything you need to turn yourself into the next Million dollar information product publisher on the internet.</p>
<p>But that doesn&#039;t happen in every case and we see why&#8230;so here are <strong>3 Tips that high earning information product publishers put into action</strong> &#8211; and that YOU can use to make sure you follow in their footsteps fast.</p>
<p>1. They match a commercially viable desire to be, have, do something pleasurable (or avoid something painful) with a personal <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PASSION</strong></span>!  Look back in history at the greatest earners&#8230;</p>
<p>From Rockefeller who was passionate about operational and business efficiency and philanthropy (giving 10% of his earnings from the very biggining with much more later) to Bill Gates who saw a PC in everyone&#039;s home knowing the impact on communication and on our lives should this reality occur &#8211; your quest to build a wealth creation internet business must rest on an underlying passion for your customer, your product and/or your business. </p>
<p>2. <strong>Thinking <span style="text-decoration: underline;">BIG!</span></strong> Wealth creators think well beyond where others think. </p>
<p>Here&#039;s an example, the normal way of thinking when you start your information product marketing business is to write an ebook and put up a website so you can sell a couple of thousand dollars worth of your $27 ebook. </p>
<p>Thinking BIG would mean you would start with a clear, unshakable vision of what your business will ultimately end up to be&#8230;even if it takes longer than you expect.  So &#8211; instead of a $27 ebook you would be thinking of a Multi-Million training company that is taking the principles you use to help someone achieve something (or avoid pain) in their life where you have a multitude of products and services that you spin out&#8230;some of which are 100% yours, some of which are joint ventures and others that you completely license out keeping a percentage of the profits while someone else builds your wealth passively. </p>
<p><strong>3. Network and collaborate.</strong>  In today&#039;s day and age collaboration is more important (and easier) than ever.  An affiliate relationship here, a joint venture there, a virtual assistant contract, a co-marketing agreement, and so on&#8230; </p>
<p>If you spend your valuable time thinking BIG and fulfilling your passion, it is equally important that you work in a constant state of &#034;purposeful collaboration&#034;.    I say PURPOSEFUL because networking for the sake of networking, and collaborating with just anyone for any purpose is not productive and can be quite distracting.  Instead, if you have a clear purpose and clear BIG idea, you can then attract those who you can bring along with you on your journey to wealth and expand your internet business. </p>
<p>Wealth comes to those who think BIG, act with PASSION and seek to share their wealth through purposeful collaboration&#8230;are you up to the task?</p>
<p>Mix these 3 critical info product money-making actions with a highly effective <a title="info marketing " href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">support, training and resource system</a> and you have all the makings of building your own information product marketing empire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you ready to write a book that will sell?</p>
<p>Have you decided that it is finally time to take action on ideas and dreams you have had inside your head for years&#8230;that by applying yourself you can improve your own life (and bank account) not to mention the lives of those you touch around you?</p>
<p>If you answer <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">yes</span></strong>&#8230;then you have won 75% of the battle, and you will never regret the decision to apply some time and energy over the next 3-4 weeks to get your own &#034;how-to&#034;, non-fiction book or ebook onto the market. </p>
<p>Let me tell you from first-hand experience, the excitement, joy and fulfillment is far greater than what you can even imagine right now and even if your first project struggles, if you apply the right feedback systems as we outline inside <a title="infoproduct marketing" href="http://www.infoproductcreator.com" target="_blank">&#034;The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur&#039;s Success Package&#034;</a> you WILL get it right, sell lots of books and make money so that you can spend even more time enjoying this fascinating opportunity to market information products online for a living.</p>
<p>Ok, so I&#039;m going to assume that you know the importance of picking a topic and market where demand is high, buying activity has been proven and you can position your topic to take advantage of built-in consumer momentum.</p>
<p>If you have not yet decided on a market, topic or you still feel uneasy about the topic you have chosen &#8211; then it is ESSENTIAL that you get that straight first&#8230;do that by reviewing this <a title="information publishing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com/public/372.cfm?sd=2" target="_blank">Free Information Publishing System</a> &#8230;that will help you start out with the best possible chance for success. </p>
<p>Next, how do you get started writing a book targeting your market?</p>
<p>The very next place I go when I&#039;m putting together a non-fiction, &#034;how to&#034; information product (book, ebook, report, article, course, video, etc&#8230;) is to various online sites that help me collect common questions that my marketplace has about my topic.</p>
<p>So, if I&#039;m writing a book about A Cure For Planter&#039;s Warts (just an example I pulled out of my head), then I search Google for &#034;Planters Wart Discussion Forum&#034; to locate discusion or bulletin board conversations about the topic.  By spending 20-minutes on the forums I will find questions like:</p>
<p>&#034;What is a planter&#039;s Wart?&#034;</p>
<p>&#034;How did I get it and how do I prevent getting it again?&#034;</p>
<p>&#034;Should I go to  doctor?&#034;</p>
<p>&#034;What medication should I take?&#034;</p>
<p>&#034;Are there alternative options for getting rid of planters&#039;s warts?&#034;</p>
<p>&#034;How long will it take?&#034;</p>
<p>And so on&#8230;</p>
<h3><span style="font-family: arial black,avant garde;">Why Writing A Book Designed To Deliver Answers is So Easy To Write!</span></h3>
<p>Beyond discussion forums I would check top blog postings on the topic by searching blog directories including Bloglines and Technorati &#8211; blog posts often have reader comments which can also be a terrific source of questions.  I would then go to Yahoo Answers and search to see what questions have come up around my topic.  You don&#039;t have to stop there&#8230;you can also review magazines, existing books on the topic, articles in article directories&#8230;which will all give you more intelligence on what people want to know about your topic.</p>
<p>Armed with all of thse questions, it becomes your task to simply organize the questions into logical order, group them into chapters and from them, plan your special system of helping them achieve the main goal &#8211; in this case, Curing their ailment. </p>
<p>Now, do you see how easy it really can be to quickly put together highly profitable, hot selling information products that you can sell online? </p>
<p>There are products in thousands of niche markets making Millions and Millions of dollars ranging from weight loss,  personal development, business, hobbies and health ailments such as the one we give in this example. </p>
<p>Using system like these outlined inside &#034;<a title="info product marketing" href="http://www.infoproductcreator.com" target="_blank">The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur&#039;s Success Package</a>&#034;  you can have your own top selling ebook, book or info product selling online within 30-45 days from right now&#8230;so why not get moving today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many people come to me or join <a title="how to begin writing a book" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Information Marketing Zone </a>and ask the question <strong><em>&#034;How do I begin writing a book&#034;</em></strong> thinking the answer will be insights on how to write the first sentence, paragraph or chapter.</p>
<p>Instead, I typically go back and clarify what their main purpose is in writing the book. </p>
<p>Why is that?</p>
<p>Because today we have so many options for packaging, marketing and selling our books and ebooks &#8211; we need to first figure out which one is best for our goals.</p>
<p>Let&#039;s look at a few of the most common reasons to write a book:</p>
<p><strong>1. To brand yourself an expert.</strong>  If your main objective (over all others) is to gain market branding and you want to use bookstores and publishing companies to help you accomplish this objective, then you want to focus on traditional forms of publishing &#8211; either the big houses or smaller, niche topic focused publishing companies. </p>
<p><strong>2. If you want to make extra money, create a profit center</strong> for you and build a foundation for a new career and business, then you will want to puruse one of two options&#8230;create course, ebook, membership site or other information product that you can sell for $47 or more and sell it from your own website with a focus on advanced marketing tactics where you can attract an army of affiliates to help spread the word with your new product.  The advantage of this approach is that your profit margins are extremely high &#8211; anywhere from 60-90% you keep. </p>
<p><strong>3. If your main objective is personal satisfaction with a little bit of cash incentive</strong> and some branding advantage thrown in&#8230;then you can pursue a self-publishing model where begin writing your book with the aim of having it printed on demand and sold through major online retailers such as Amazon and Barnes And Noble.  While this isn&#039;t quite as profitable as acting as your own publisher, selling digital or higher-priced physical products, you can still keep 4-5X more profit than you would get from a traditionally published book and you get to see your name in print!</p>
<p>Great non-fiction writers mix all three techniques together.  They may begin self-publishing, creating a platform for themselves.  Next, they put out &#034;back-end&#034; information products such as home study courses, DVD&#039;s, ebooks, reports, paid membership sites, or personal/group coaching programs that really bring in the big profits to their company.  Putting together these types of information products is often less work than writing a book &#8211; as we point out inside <a title="info product creation" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Info Product Creation Zone.</a></p>
<p> Finally, they seek out a publishing contract to increase their reach, credibility and yes&#8230;so they can say they are a &#034;published&#034; author.</p>
<p>When you consider how to begin writing a book&#8230;your goal for how that book will fit with your overall business and lifestyle goals is critical.  You have many options and your book should ultimately work to build you a high-growth Enterprise that funds an exciting new lifestyle where you can continue to be creative, solve people&#039;s problems and get paid very well for doing it.</p>

<p>Of course, as information product marketers who produce ebooks, DVD&#039;s, physically fulfilled info products we know the market is in fact much, much larger than the 285,000 odd titles they list in this piece.</p>
<p>For example, Clickbank on its own lists 10&#039;s of thousands of titles, others are distributed through programs such as Commission Junction and Linkshare while hundreds of thousands of others are sold right from the information product publisher&#039;s own website. </p>
<p>Still, these numbers are shocking and definitely demonstrate the potential for the self-publishing book selling business to expand even further. </p>
<p>Inside The <a title="information marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Information Product Marketing Zone </a>we share the tips, techniques and strategies that book writers, course developers and publishing entrepreneurs need to fast-track the planning, testing, development and marketing of their own information product publishing enterprise. </p>
<p>Our own business has tripled in the last 12-months&#8230;by the looks of these numbers, it is about to get even bigger &#8211; and that is a good thing for our members who are finding new avenues to express their creativity, make additional streams of income online, become a leader in their marketplace and start brand-new, exciting home-based businesses at a time when jobs are hard to come by.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was hanging out on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/highertrust" target="_blank">Twitter</a> this evening tweeting with some people who stated they wanted to write a book, most had felt that for years&#8230;yet they had not yet (and perhaps would never) realize the dream they had to have their own book, ebook or non-fiction information product.</p>
<p>Too bad, a good many of them were pretty fed up with their current lives &#8211; some were bored, others were completely stressed out and still others simply felt unfulfilled in their current jobs and life outside of work.</p>
<p>Why hadn&#039;t they taken up the challenge and get started writing their own book?</p>
<p>There were different reasons, but in every case the very thought of spending months and months trying to craft 200 pages into something that was both readable and that would appeal to an audience was enough to keep the most productive person from ever realizing their dreams of authorship.</p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Easing The Pressure And Getting Your Book Written</span></h2>
<p>Runners, you didn&#039;t go out and run a marathon the very first try did you? </p>
<p>Cooks and chefs don&#039;t immediately master the art of French cooking &#8211; it takes a step-by-step approach to master anything worth having in life.</p>
<p>Same thing goes when you set out to write a book.</p>
<p>With non-fiction books where you are trying to help someone be, do, have, feel or become something they desire or overcome a challenge in their life&#8230;you are in fact answering several questions that your market has about your topic so why not separate those questions into separate 15-page chapters and further, into 2-3 page articles that you can sit down and write in 15-minutes or less?</p>
<p>Imagine getting up at 6:30AM for the next two weeks and actually writing 14 2-3 page articles (for the math wizards out there you&#039;ll realize this will give you 28-42 pages of fresh content for your new book) &#8211; you are only a few hours away from having a completed 50-75 page ebook, book or information product to sell online. </p>
<p>Yes, top selling books and ebooks can be written in 2-3 weeks &#8211; even on a part-time basis.  We&#039;ve done it 12 times now and have interviewed many others who have developed their own information products within weeks &#8212; many of the techniques we use and interviews are contained within this <a title="info product marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank">Information Marketing Resource</a> Site. </p>
<p>Not only is the task of writing one specific article with a very focused objective much simpler than trying to write 2-3 pages of a 100-page book, easing up on your objective for the day will free your mind, remove the stress and open your mind and body up to actually making progress in your quest to write a book.</p>
<p>Over at<a title="info marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com" target="_blank"> InfoMarketer&#039;sZone </a>there are dozens of writing and information product development tips in addition to detailed processes and techniques on finding new topics to write about that will sell, a complete book marketing system, lots of great tools and templates as well as a highly valuable private coaching forum where you can get answers to all of your book marketing and self-publishing questions. </p>
<p>Ready,  get set, write!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been asked to help someone out by giving them a good tip, some &#034;inside&#034; information or help them fix a problem they are struggling with and they exchanged a service, good will or maybe even paid you for what you had done?</p>
<p>Then you will understand what is at the root of the exciting world of info product marketing.</p>
<p>Information products &#8211; also known as info products &#8211; are simply documented products designed to help someone achieve an outcome in his or her life. </p>
<p>You may recognize &#034;how to&#034; or &#034;self help&#034; books as falling into that category, but there are also millions upon millions of other products being sold into this Billion dollar marketplace of sought after information products including:</p>
<ul>
<li>self-published, printed books</li>
<li>digital ebooks (there are over 20,000 of them on Clickbank.com alone with hundreds of thousands of others being sold on the internet for major profits)</li>
<li>home study courses</li>
<li>DVD&#039;s with screen capture or live videos</li>
<li>teleseminars</li>
<li>group or personal coaching and mentoring programs</li>
<li>paid membership sites</li>
<li>webinars</li>
<li>seminars</li>
<li>workshops</li>
<li>blogs that monetize their information through advertising, reviews and the like</li>
</ul>
<p> Within this large (and growing) category of high profit products, individuals just like you are finding that they can leverage their time by creating their own info product once and selling it again and again through the vast distribution networks available on the internet.</p>
<p>Following a system like the one outlined within this <a title="info product marketing" href="http://www.infomarketerszone.com " target="_blank">Information Marketing Resource </a> will both fast-track your results and take much of the risk out of info product marketing growth making it possible to quickly grow your profits when you start with only a few hours each week. </p>
<p>For example, by putting together a simple 40-page ebook on becoming an overnight wine expert or a membership site on how to teach soccer to kids &#8211; you can find yourself <strong>skyrocketing to the top of your marketplace</strong>, getting offers of free publicity and have your marketplace offering you even more money to answer their questions because you are the expert they seek to achieve their goals.</p>
<p>What about helping other retirees over 50 get the most out of retirement or help other car restoration lovers with your own experiences, knowledge and insights. </p>
<p>The market opportunities are virtually limitless&#8230;that&#039;s what makes the information marketing business so exciting.  </p>
<p>In fact, if you are especially good at picking your topic and learn the inside secrets to marketing on the internet, have a little patience to test and refine your internet business process &#8211; you can find yourself in charge of a new full time career where you get to call the shots on your way to a 7-figure internet business. </p>
<h2>Publish Information &#8211; The Road To Wealth And Freedom!</h2>
<p>One recent client of ours was able to completely trasition her consulting business (requiring 14-hour days and a local client base) into a global operation that allowed her to move to Hawaii as she had always dreamed of doing where she worked only 6-8 hours each day and now has the ability to build her business as large as she can imagine. </p>
<p>So what&#039;s the key to succeeding with your own info product marketing business?</p>
<p>It comes down to understanding your value to the marketplace.</p>
<p>What you offer to your marketplace are solutions to problems, a system to achieve an end, a path and hope toward a desired outcome, a focused solution to very focused desires&#8230;and for that, your market will pay you very well.</p>
<p>With over a dozen information products now on the market, the formula for uncovering these niche markets, identifying a deeply held desire, proof that certain topics are hot sellers and a plan to quickly create and position your products within these hungry markets is something we take great pride in giving away to those who want to write their own books, teach their own courses and make money online so they can spend more time doing the things they love. </p>

<p>Most people just don&#039;t believe that you can make big money creating and marketing info products outside the &#034;make money&#034; niche markets.  One reason for that is they themselves typically are hanging out looking to make money online so naturally, the majority of the products they come across are selling techniques and strategies to make money online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m constantly asked, &#034;what are some examples of information products that sell well outside the area of internet marketing or business&#034;. </p>
<p>Most people just don&#039;t believe that you can make big money creating and marketing info products outside the &#034;make money&#034; niche markets.  One reason for that is they themselves typically are hanging out looking to make money online so naturally, the majority of the products they come across are selling techniques and strategies to make money online.</p>
<p>But&#8230;the good news is that there are hundreds of niche markets that are hungry for information and will buy your info products if you simply get them out there.</p>
<p>Here is an example &#8211; Alex Maroko has come up with a top selling <a title="basketball training" href="http://ideaguide.alexmaroko.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">basketball training program </a>- all digital &#8211; which sells for $47 with some upsells that go even higher. </p>
<p>Are there people passionate about playing basketball?  Yep, lots of them.</p>
<p>Is there a deep, emotional reason to improve?  Yep, looking better in front of friends, becoming a basketball star, making the prestigious school or local team are all very real, highly emotional drivers for getting better. </p>
<p>Alex not only produced an ebook to outline his formula, he took video of his tutorials and packaged them into a 16-weeks SYSTEM that guarantees results for those that follow the system. </p>
<p>By going beyond just &#034;informing&#034; his readers on how to get better with basketball with his info product to outlining a step-by-step system for success he has differentiated his information product and really increased its perceived value so he can sell it for more and sell more of it.</p>
<p>What information can you turn into your own money making info product to sell online&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you have a favorite sport (hockey, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, swimming, etc&#8230;) that you can help someone else learn? </li>
<li>Have you struggled with an illness or health challenge and learned how to overcome pain along the way &#8211; that could be taught to others to do the same?</li>
<li>Do you have a hobby or passion that you can help others enjoy as you have such as music, art, a craft or collecting?</li>
<li>What relationship skills have you learned over the years regarding parenting, dating, career or other networking skills &#8211; could you turn this into a step-by-step improvement system?</li>
</ol>
<p>These are only a few examples to get you thinking.  The bottom line is that there are hundreds and hundreds of topics where there are hungry buyers just waiting to learn and achieve a desired outcome. </p>
<p>By packaging information into a step-by-step program, formula or system you can tap into high, profit-producing info product markets by starting your own global internet business. </p>
