Table of Contents
Tips for writing your info products:
- Make a list of all possible topics you are interested in writing about.
- Narrow down your ideas – which topics seem the best or most popular?
- From your narrowed down list, see if you can combine any of the topics into one info product.
- Pick one idea to start with.
- Start brainstorming ideas on your chosen topic. Write your ideas down either in a notebook or on a word processor. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, or sequence of ideas at this point. The main focus should just be getting your ideas down on paper.
- Writing a table of contents helped me to sequence the ideas. You might want to try this, too.
- Begin writing your “chapters” or headings. Don’t worry about going in order. You can put them in sequence later.
- Keep the tone of your info product conversational, as if you are writing to a friend.
- After you have your first draft completed, go back and organize each of the chapters or headings (put them in order according to your table of contents). Make sure your page numbers match your table of contents.
- Now it is time to edit. I have found that printing the info out so that I can sit down and read it on paper helps. I circle any mistakes and make any changes with a red pen.
- Have a friend or relative read it, too. “Fresh eyes” are always good. The more people who can help you edit, the better.
- Get rid of any unnecessary info.
- Make sure all of the links (if any) mentioned are correct.
- Consider breaking up the text into even smaller sub-sections. This will make it easier to read and understand.
