You would like to create your own information product, but youare stuck. What the heck should you write about? This could bethe hardest step involved in this entire process. The reason Isay that is because when you begin anything for the first timeit ALWAYS seems that much more difficult due to it being thevery first time.
Add to that the fact that for some people, writing is an almostimpossible task. But let me just tell you that writing up anarticle, special report, or a 340 page ebook isn't any differentthan learning to roller blade. Except that you'll get a lot lessbumps and bruises! At least physically anyway :-)
But it doesn't have to be this way. The best advice for what towrite is write about WHAT YOU KNOW. That makes everything SOmuch easier. And, don't think you don't know anything, becauseeveryone knows something.
Before you begin writing, be sure you have the proper tool towrite with.
Of course you can start out with the simple Notepad or WordPadtool that came with your computer when you purchased it.However, to cut through some additional formatting steps, i.e. -copying and pasting, etc., it's best to start out with a toolwith a bit more function like Microsoft Word, or the better, andFREE alternative, Open Office.
You can download a copy from http://www.openoffice.org . You'llwant to pick up the Open Office Suite so you're sure to getEVERYTHING. This is SO helpful to those of you who don't have,or can't afford expensive programs like Microsoft Office or PDFMaker programs.
Now that you have just the right writing tool, let's startwriting! Make a list of the things that you do, or like to do.Whether it's your job, a hobby you enjoy, or caring for childrenor pets. Even the smallest thing that you might not think isimportant, like an easier way to clean up after family gettogether. A good thing to remember is that things we often takefor granted or overlook because we do them on a constant orconsistent basis someone else might have an interest in learningand have NEVER done before. Then, look over the list you justcreated and choose a subject from it. But, keep a hold of thislist somewhere as you may want to return to it to invent a NEWproduct, or even several new products.
Here are a few example topics that might give you a better ideaof what to strive for:
