How To Booklets

Researching your topic

Researching is so very important when writing, especially if you intend to create any kind of "how to" booklet that provides statistical data or information that needs to be deadly accurate!

I know for many they may think that creating a free booklet that you give away means you don't have to focus too much on quality but that would be a huge mistake because without quality people won't pass it around and if you are not being passed around you can't make sales!

The search engines are the best place to go and it is impossible not to find information on your potential booklet  - in fact I usually find information plus find more ideas for more things to write!

I also go to Youtube because it is such a valuable source of information when I am writing or again a source of inspiration if I am thinking about what to include or how to structure my book.

Reading other books on the subject is a really great way to research and you may find your one booklet soon becomes quite large and can be broken down into two or three!

Researching your potential topic, researcing your data and researching the information you are going to pass on through your knowledge is important - don't miss it out!

The Hidden Money in Self Publishing

When you write a book success or failure is determined by how many you sell but when you self publish a booklet or an ebook there are so many other opportunities available to you.

The clickable link capacity of your booklet gives it far more power than any traditionally published book can ever have.  The longer it is out there and the more places it gets passed around, assuming your content is great of course, then the more chances you have of selling whatever product you have included.

Whether you are sending people back to your blog or website to join your list (which you should include in everything you write) or you are sending people directly to a product your booklet has the potential to become a gift that just keeps giving.

And the best news is you never have to deliver the product or deal with any of the support.... sweet :)

Free self development booklet - Ultimate Self Care for women

Ultimate Self-Care For The 21st Century Woman

How To Ensure Your Needs Are Met

I have put together a free personal development book (or booklet as I prefer to call them as they are short, to the point and I don’t have to write 60 pages!!!) to support your personal growth.  This free personal development book focuses on getting your needs met and self-care.

Feel free to pass it on to anyone you think might find it useful and as always I appreciate a comment if it helped you.

You can sell your short reports too

When it comes to writing short reports you don't only have to give them away for free to make a profit. If you are willing to put some extra work into creating a sales page and setting up a sales process for your reports you can sell them too.

Information sells well online - if someone wants to know something and you can tell them how to do it they will buy it!

You can write all kinds of information but this video features on short reports as a way to build an online business. Jimmy D Brown is the master of writing and selling short reports. You can click on the image to visit his site.

Consider audio booklets

If you are not big on writing and would much prefer to speak your booklet why not consider creating it into audio. More people love audio books anyway because they can listen on their ipod while they are travelling or lie on their bed and enjoy listening rather than reading so give it some thought.

If you are really brave considering video too - why not put yourself in front of the webcam and read someone a story - I love listening to people tell me a stroy - if you are a natural born story teller (or even an expert one) it can be a great way to get yourself noticed.
