You may already have most of the ingredients for an e-book or special report in your files or archives.  Find out which ingredients make customers willing to pay you for material available from other sources, and what elements you should include in your digital marketing copy to spark their interest in buying now.

Here are the steps to take when writing your special report:
  • Have your end goal in mind before you start.
  • Do you want to find a way to increase sales, while reducing your cost to acquire those sales?
  • Who are you trying to impress and what is important to them?
  • What distribution method will be best?
  • How many people do you want to impact with this report?
  • Make sure the layout of your special report looks pleasing, and is very easy to read.
  • Keep in mind that it’s basically salesmanship in print.
