I am going to chat briefly
here about some product creation ideas. This is not going to be
one, two, three, and if you are looking for step by step, this
is the wrong article for you. I have written plenty of others
that do that well.
This is more like advanced
brainstorming. Read this and if you take out just one good idea
that you can use, you are ahead.
So, you have perhaps been
working on, thinking about, creating your own product. You have
a little bit of an outline, but are stuck.
Maybe you have written a
few articles. But they are hard to crank out. You have a hard
time thinking about how they should be organized.
Let me tell you from
experience, that as you write more articles, as you write more
books, you will get better at organizing things, you will get
better at just letting the ideas in your head flow out. You will
also start typing faster. Three months ago I typed at about 25
words per minute. Now I am at 50 words per minute. That makes a
huge difference.
Then, I had to think about
an article before I wrote it. I mean, really think. Now, I pick
a topic, introduce it, generally list a few points that teaches
about my topic, then wrap the article up with a challenge.
So think about this, if
writing articles makes you a better writer, and being a better
writer would give you more flexibility in creating your own
product, what do you see here?
I say write more.
Write lots of articles.
Keep a copy of them.
When you are looking for
good content for your book, go looking through your articles.
When you need content for
an email, go looking through your articles.
Use articles as the
backbone of your product creation process.
As you write articles, you
will become a better writer and that will show in your product
creation.
By the way, think you
cannot write a 50,000 page book?
Write 100 articles and you
have between 40,000 and 50,000 words. What is the difference?
What if you spent one whole day outlining your book so that you
had 10 chapters with 10 subtopics each? Then wrote 500 words on
each topic, article style?
What if you wrote 10 of
those sections everyday and submitted 3 of them to some article
directories, and included in your bio that this article is an
excerpt from your upcoming book? And then have them opt in to
your announcement list? When you have 100 people on your
announcement list, you will be real anxious to get the book
finished.
Do something. Write
something today.
