Many online marketers today make a living by selling their own products. Among the most popular digital products to sell are eBooks and special reports. These are files in written form where useful and desired information can be conveyed. Indeed, information is what fuels the internet. It’s not called the information superhighway for nothing, after all. People log online to search for information. If you have the information they need, then they will come to you. And if this information holds a lot of value, you could sell the same and make some wonderful profit. And since words are the primary tools of communication in the World Wide Web, information is often conveyed in written form, i.e. the aforementioned eBooks and special reports.
But preparing written works is not easy. For starters, not everyone could write. And those who could often don’t have the time to embark on such an undertaking.
Fortunately, there are some alternative routes you could take which would allow you to prepare your own eBook or special report without having to write down a single word. Let’s take a look at 5 of these options.
1. Gather some articles and compile them in a single volume. This would be the easiest way to prepare your own digital product. These articles can be PLR works which grant you the right to alter them and use their content anyway you please. Or they may be articles written by other people, which you have compiled from renowned websites like ezinearticles or goarticles. If you choose the latter set, just make sure that you respect the terms and conditions of their usage, primary of which is the inclusion of the original author’s resource box. You can’t just bundle up articles left and right, however. Make sure that one article would organically and logically flow to the next. You can ensure this by studying the articles you want to include.
2. Conduct an interview with an expert and record the same. Thereafter, hire someone from rentacoder, elance or guru to transcribe the conversation you had with the said expert. You’d be surprised how quickly you could jack up 50 to 200 pages worth of essential reading material using this method.
3. Buy an existing eBook or special report that comes with private label rights. This would enable you to alter the contents of the same, and even name yourself as the author of the work. You could add some materials as you feel are necessary, or better yet, you could combine two, three, or even ten of these PLR eBooks or special reports to come up with an encyclopedic tome of information worthy of some notice.
4. Hire a ghostwriter to prepare an eBook or a special report for you. There are many, many freelance writers looking for work at the websites we have mentioned in no. 2. It’s just a matter of selecting the best writer for the job at a price that will not be too daunting to your budget. Expect to pay $200 to $1,000 for a 50 page eBook, however.
5. Here’s a novel approach. Join an internet marketing forum, and ask a query. A good example would be “How Could You Profit From The Internet With A $0 Budget.” For certain, you’ll get some amazingly enlightening replies. Compile these replies until you’ll have enough materials to come up with an eBook or a special report. Ask the posters’ permission to avoid any copyright issues. Chances are, they’ll agree, provided that a link to their respective websites would be included in your work.
Lack of writing prowess, or the time to write at that, is never a bar for the production of your own digital products. All you need is a little imagination, and hopefully, the suggestions above have stirred up some concepts in your mind.
