Are you new to creating information products? If you are, you need a process to follow which makes it easy. Once you’ve created your first ebook, the next one will be much easier and from then on there will be no stopping you.

Let’s look at three steps you can follow.

1. How-To Ebooks Are Easy: What Do You Know How to Do?

If you need to do a lot of research, you can spend so much time on it that you never get around to creating your product.

Therefore choose a how-to topic — something which you know how to do, and which others want to learn, and which you can easily explain in your product.

Make a list of five things which you know very well, and which others would pay to learn to do. Think about your hobbies, what you’re doing your job, and what you do in your free time. Everyone has areas in which they’re an expert.

2. Outline the How-To Process: Keep It Simple

Choose one topic from your list of five.

Don’t worry about whether it’s the best topic; you’ll create more than one product. Think of this first product as a learning process. You’re learning how to do something which can make incredible money for you over time.

Next, create a list of steps in the how-to process. For example, if you want to teach someone the basics of creating an ebook cover in Photoshop, write down the steps one after another, in a list. You’re creating your ebook (or video product) chapters.

At the beginning of the list, write “Introduction”. This chapter introduces the topic, and the author, and gives instructions on how to use the ebook.

Drop down one line and write “Why.”

You need to tell people why they should learn how to create their own ebook covers in Photoshop. Reasons you could give include: it saves them money, once they know how to do it they can make money selling their services, and so on.

3. Write As if You’re Talking to a Friend: Tell Him How to Do It

Writing is easy when you think of it as talking. The best writing is completely transparent. You feel as if the writer is speaking directly to you, as if you’re chatting chat over coffee or a beer.

Go through all the steps in your list (chapters) one by one.

Graphics can make or break the success of an ebook. It’s estimated that people take about 20 seconds to evaluate whether or not they’re interested in purchasing a book. In the bookstore or online that gives them about enough time to scan the title and graphics, which makes both critically important in the buying decision.

The trouble is, headlines and titles are often easier to come by than graphics which are both attention getting and relevant to the subject matter and as more and more ebooks hit the market ñ there’s an added challenge to be unique. Here are a few tips and strategies to find the right ebook cover graphic.

#1 The most common step ebook creators take is to hit the stock photo websites. This is a great option because the cost for stock photos are relatively low and the search tools make it easy to find a number of options. And many sites offer downloads in a number of sizes making clarity and image quality a non-issue.

However, the problem of uniqueness exists when you use an online stock photo site. The solution is to use sites which show how many times the photo has been downloaded. This limits the chance that it’s been pasted all around the internet. Search online for free graphics.

#2 Hire a graphic designer. This is a more expensive option however the right graphic designer turns a plain old PDF into a work of art. Take sure when hiring a graphic designer to find out if they create all of their artwork or if they too use stock photos. Ask for samples and make sure all your graphics are original and you have 100% of the rights to them.

#3 Use graphic software. There are a number of quality design software programs created specifically for ebook graphics. Additionally, screenshot software can create good cover art for technology books.

Of course for the do it yourselfer, you can take photos or create cover art using many of the drawing and graphic design programs. Before you get started with any of these options take a look at successful ebooks. What do you like about their cover art? Plan what you want your cover to look like and then seek solutions.

You don’t even need writing skills, because you can hire writers to write for you if you wish.

How to Get Started

Your first step is to decide on a topic. Ideally this is a topic you know well. Your aim is to provide valuable, tested information, which will help people – and of course, for which they will pay you.

Make a list of solutions you’ve found for problems in your own life. Perhaps you’ve found an easy way to increase the gas mileage in your car, or have just organized an low budget wedding.

Topics worth exploring include anything which will make or save people money, will help them to improve their relationships or health, or which will teach them a useful skill.

Once you start thinking about your own achievements, you’ll realize that you have information you can pass on in an ebook.

Test Your Ebook Idea

You can test your ebook idea in various ways before you spend time writing it. One of the simplest ways is by creating a blog. If you get readers, you can ask them what information they need to know on the topic.

Another way to test your idea is to visit forums dedicated to the topic. Usually, if there are no active forums, it means that there’s little interest in the topic.

You can also test your idea using advertising. Create a Web page for people to take a survey, then advertise your survey. While some people swear by this method, it has a flaw, and it’s this – there’s a big difference between what people say they want, and what they will pay for.

Write Your Ebook

When you’ve found a money making topic, write your ebook. Your ebook shouldn’t be any longer than it needs to be, just long enough to cover promises you make when you write your sales page. People are looking for solutions, not detailed, in-depth information.
