Creating Your Own Info Product
We have discussed this before but in response to a number of questions here follows a more detailed answer.
You want to write your own information product, however, you believe that you don’t have the necessary skill to prepare something good so you resign yourself to the fact that your dream will not be realised.
This is not uncommon, some people just don’t have the flair for writing, Maybe English is not your first language.
Whatever the reason is, creating your own information product is still possible.
What if I told you that you can still create your own information product even if you are NOT an expert of any kind and above all, you DON’T have to write?
No, I’m not talking about being an affiliate or reseller here.
We are going to get you an information product with YOUR name on it.
Great!
Here are three simple ways you can have your own quality information product WITHOUT having to write, not even a single word!
The first two ways cost money. The last way can be done free.
*** Hire a ghostwriter.
Quite simply, you hire a ghostwriter to create the information product on a subject or topic of your choice (or more accurately, on demand!) but the product will be able to be marketed under your name. You will have sole rights to the product.
Ghostwriters don’t take any credit at all and hence the term “ghostwriting”.
You can go to http://www.elance.com or http://www.rentacoder.com and search for a writer who can help with creating your own information product.
These are just two of the most popular sites where you can find good ghostwriters but there are many more.
*** Buy Private Label Rights to a collection of articles or product.
Quite simply, you buy raw contents (which can come in the form of articles or .doc files which you can edit in Word program) from the original authors or authorized resellers. You can then edit them anyway you like and most importantly, put your name on them and claim authorship!
Private Label Rights seem to be the “in-thing” in Internet Marketing now, though Private Label Rights have been around for a very long time.
The drawback however, is that if the Private Label Rights to the products or articles are being sold in large numbers, it can dilute the value and quality of the same products or articles as there would literally be many purchasers using the same content at the same time.
If you have limited writing skills, you can still make substantial changes to the raw contents. You will do well to also choose Private Label Right to articles or products on sale with limited copies on sale.
*** Get someone else to write for you… through an interview!
The above two methods cost money on your part. Now, here’s the third and free method. You get someone else to create the product for you.
It is not difficult, Not only are you going to get other people to write for you, you are also not going to pay them! How?
Conduct an interview. It’s free, and it puts your interviewees in the limelight. More often than not, people are glad to be interviewed.
If you are planning to create an information product on copywriting, you can approach practicing copywriters for an interview. You can remind them that it won’t take much of their time and you may name some of the benefits from working with you on this project.
If you know of any experts offline, you can arrange for a verbal interview in person or by phone and sell your information product in BOTH text and audio format!
In return, you can thank your interview candidates for participating by giving them some free valuable gifts. Maybe you can get your interview candidates to strike up a Joint Venture with you in selling the complete information product created.
As you can see with three powerful methods to choose from, creating your own information product without having to write is possible, even for those that than can write well these ideas are still worth considering.
