How to Create Content for Your Information Product Quickly & Easily.

You don't have to be a professional writer or speaker to quickly make an information product, especially if you are knowledgeable about the subject. The simplest way to create your content is to ask your buying audience. This is particularly simple to do if you already have a list in your target market, as all you have to do is to send out an e-mail survey. There are many online survey systems to use, and I have found that the majority are quite user friendly, but it is personal preference I think, so go to Google and search for "Online Survey Systems", and choose the best for you. Most of them let you see your survey results tallied by the most popular entries first.

Even if you do not have a list to survey yourself, you can always use somebody else's by offering a commission or even giving them 100% for selling your info product to their list. Another way to find out what the biggest challenge is in your particular niche is to simply ask other people by conducting an interview with a relevant expert over the phone, or correspond via e-mail.

To finish your information product content all you need to do now is to make notes of your strategies,tips,tricks and techniques that solve the most pressing questions and challenges that your surveys and/or interviews have established to be the biggest challenges facing your target audience. A good number to aim for when devising your solutions is to go for approx ten specific challenges and come up with about three strategies, tips or techniques for each one. But remember always keep in mind that the majority of your clients will not need ALL of the information now, they may only be looking for a place to start, or for a solution to move them out of an area they are currently stuck in, and your information will help them do that. If they need to find out more they can always purchase additional information from you, and will be glad to do so if you are cultivating a good and trusting relationship with them.

So What Sort of Information Product is it Best to Create First?

For your first information product it is best to create a simple 20 to 50 page report, an audio CD or a workbook, and it is quite easy to create multiple products, without having to do too much extra work, once you have the first format complete. One of my favourite methods for product creation is to first do a Teleseminar or webinar and have it recorded onto a CD and transcribed into PDF format. This way you can have a one hour webinar turned into multiple products in a few hours. For example see how a simple one hour Teleseminar can produce the following:-

•A short PDF Document you can give away as a FREE report.

•A CD Audio program for the front-end of your marketing funnel.

•A detailed workbook to sell separately, or to include with the CD to increase the perceived value and therefore increase the price.

•A sample MP3 Audio to place on your website.

•An article created from the workbook to distribute to online ezines for traffic generation purposes.

•A sample audio to be placed on video & audio distribution websites for traffic generation purposes.

This process can be repeated quickly and often so you can soon build up a library of information products that people will want to purchase, and of course once you have created multiple audio programs you can always bundle them together into a home study course for the back-end of your marketing funnel.

Remember the more different types of media you include in your information product, the higher its perceived value, and therefore the more you can charge for it.

Re: Quick Ways To Utilize SEO Effectively - There are many different types of content: blog content, website content, newsletter content, audio & video content, the list can be endless. I'll just list 10 types of website content here: * Index/Introduction * Product Descriptions * Testimonials * Reviews * Resources * How-to Information * Downloads * Contact Information * Navigation/Site Map About/Company Info Anchor text as the others have said is the hyperlinked words on a web page - the words you click on when you click a link. Anchor text is important because it tells the search engines what the page is about. Used wisely, it boosts your rankings in search engines, especially in Google.If you use "click here" as the words people are going to click on, you're telling people the page is about the subject "click here", which is not the phrase you want to rank highly for, the text you need to use is a keyword that you have chosen for your website, blog or article.

Re: Meta Tags - [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- - How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags?? Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg] Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter... There are 2 very important things on your page: 1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate. 2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times. 3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.

Take care, Carol[/quote:fybrn2qt] This is a great topic and useful to anyone who runs a business on the internet. Carol as always your advice is excellent. As far as I know, it is important to use your main keywords as anchor text which lead back to your website or blog, because that is ultimately where you want your readers to go. MichelleJ
Re: Best looking social networking site? - Hi Kevin [quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08] For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks. Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important. btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.
