Your reputation depends on it.

When it comes to creating information products you will want to research your project
before developing it to make sure there is a demand for it. But you’ll want to prepare
before you dive in, use free tools like goodkeywords and Alexa to see what people are
actually searching for. Then do a search on google to check out your competitors using
quotes. If the demand window in goodkeywords is a higher count (number of searches)
and the competition on google is a lower number you may be onto something. Visit
forums to see what your target market is complaining about, what their reading and most
importantly what their SEEKING, than from that information create the solution to their
problem for them. This will ensure that you have created a product that is high in
demand with little or no competition. Your target market will be grateful, you’ll be
padding your pocketbook from the sales, developing a reputation for making a quality
information product which equates to a higher sales conversion rate. Don’t make your
ebook just a book with a whole bunch of links in it, add some real content in your ebook
and you will notice your conversion rates increase because your giving the reader of your
ebook real value, they will take note and spread the word about the quality of work you
do. Stay away from the hype and just give the facts, people will remember this and
eventually become repeat customers. This my friend should be your ultimate goal! By
performing a feasability study and taking the time to research you will prevent yourself
from creating a dud for an info product. You won’t get rich overnight, but with
hardwork, dedication and persevearance you will succeed. Don’t try a sales pitch on your
webpage instead pre-sell, give your reader helpful information and they will feel more
enticed to click on your link because you wrote something of value. One main reason
people purchase information products is to learn something that will solve their problems
and by creating a product that educates them on their subject of interest you will leave
them with a long lasting impresssion of the kind of work you do. Your efforts will not be
forgotten. You were an influence in their life by writing what they wanted to know. You
know you’ve done good when you create positive emotions. And being influential in a
positive fashion is a great way of promoting yourself as being helpful and taking the
initiative to help people with their problems. The sharing of knowledge is a powerul and
profitable venture and you are capable of writing great information products if you can
just manage to master the process of researching and overcoming the fear of people not
liking your work, and most importantly taking action. Don’t just say it and think, write it.
The key to selling your info products is stressing the benefits your visitor will receive by
buying your book, of course there are other strategies to implement in you marketing
efforts but they are to many to list here. Another thing to consider is you never know who
will be reading your ebook, this exposure could lead to bigger and better things down the
road. Quality is just as important as quantity.
