 Have you been wanting to sell digital products online, but just don't know where to start? Well, I want to help you solve that in this new video series, and it's going to be all about Digital product ideas and how to create them and the best part is each of these ideas have six figure or more potential So every Monday the way that this is going to work is I'm going to share a new idea with you And then I'm going to share how to create that product idea for yourself using simple or free tools or low-cost tools So let's jump into the first one right now. All right So digital product idea number one is an e-book and you know what an e-book is an electronic book But I love books in general and books are proven products They've been around for pretty much the beginning of time right? We've had the Bible been around for I don't know How long that's been around but they've been around forever They're proven to sell people love reading and buying books and digital and physical format and they're going to be around forever I don't see books ever going away So I've created three different books in the last less than 12 months now And this is the most recent one here info product empire. This is around creating and selling info products This is the second one I created. This is 57 pages around how to make more money from your email list and from email marketing in general And this is the book that started at all February 2020 I launched this book around six-figure drop servicing and this is around starting and scaling an online service business And this is a hundred pages long And I love books books have changed my my life in my business It helps me to it helped me to build my audience of customers and get people to come to me and build up that Relationship with people before I even talked to them right so before creating books I was just selling high-ticket services and I didn't have anything in between and books were a great way to bridge the gap between my high-ticket stuff and giving them a low-ticket entry level product to come in and Kind of feel around and see what I'm about and see if I if they want to work with me on any of my other offers So books are a great way to build a relationship and build trust and when someone reads your entire book They look at you on a different at a different level right as the authority in a certain area So of course if your book is good, so Books are a great way to build authority trust build a relationship with your customers and to send people to your higher level stuff Without friction right with coaching programs courses or services So who should create a book because I don't think everyone should create a book now if you have Specialized expertise or knowledge or skill sets to share that can help people improve their life or their business in a meaningful way Then I think you should you're ready to create a book You're ready to write your own book if you don't have that expertise and the knowledge and the skill set built up yet Watch my truth about digital products video that will explain what to do to build that up to get started and start getting experience and start getting that expertise that knowledge at skill set so that you can Write and launch your own book once you have that. Let's talk about the tactical stuff the steps How do you actually go and create a book? So number one is to outline the content of your book and this is the title the hook the chapters and table of contents So what I do is I usually start with the hook and this is basically what the book is going to be about So my hook for this book is the blueprint for turning your specialized knowledge and expertise Into a profitable six to seven figure online business now if you want ideas on titles and hooks that are doing well go over to Amazon and type in your your chosen topic or your niche and you can see here all These books with thousands of reviews and this book right here is at the top of the the search ranking So obviously this is getting bought a lot right now. This is probably a newer book here and right here This is the hook the simplified beginners guide to eliminating financial stress building wealth and achieving financial freedom And this is at the top This is number one if we go down a little more you can see other books that have Thousands of reviews and we want to read these so I like this book This is a book that I own no guilt no excuses no BS just a six-week program that works I will teach you to be rich is the title and the hook is right here the six-week program that works So if you need ideas for hooks and titles obviously don't copy these but if you need ideas of what's working Go to Amazon type in your niche and you can see examples of the hook Which is that sub headline and the title that's working. Okay, so what I'd like to do is I will start with the hook and the title will usually come to me later After just playing around with what is this book going to be about after creating the table of contents here? And this is all around info products. I was like, okay info product empire That's that's a fitting name for this book and it's actually appealing because it talks about the result that people want so start with the hook and From there what I recommend doing step two is to jump into the table of contents right map out your different chapters of What it's going to be about and then from there you can look at the table of contents look at the hook and say okay This is going to be a good title That is tied to the result of this book so info products empire this someone can read that and know exactly what this book is going To be about So that's step number one So step number two is to set a daily goal for writing or recording your book based on how fast you want to finish it So I recommend shooting for 20 to 25,000 words I know that sounds overwhelming right now But if you break it down day by day you can get this done in a couple weeks even if it's your first book So let's just say that you want to get it done and let's just say 25,000 words You want to get it done in 14 days. That means you'd have to type out 1786 words per day. So Let's just type that in here right if we want to do 25,000 words in 14 days That'd be 786 per day Okay, so what you could do from there is every day put like a two-hour block on your calendar and Just spend that two-hour block typing up your chapters or your content for your book and that's it It's really as simple as that. There's nothing sexy about it It's just you putting in the work and typing out your book every day if you want to get it finished Now if you want to report it if you want to report it and like and transcribe it instead of typing out your book You can go to a site called rev.com and they allow you to record your book or you record your voice And then they'll transcribe the words for you and there is a cost involved with that. I don't think it's that expensive But if you don't want to type it out and you want you'd rather speak into your Into this app here rev.com and get it recorded and transcribed you can do that as well That's another option for you But this is the option that I did I got my book finished in 15 or 16 days and this is how I did it I just broke down the word count and I set a two-hour block in my calendar every day and just spent that block typing it out Typing out my book and the content every day for 14 15 days in a row and that's that's how fast I got my book done So this is step number two set a daily goal however fast you want to finish your book Divide that by 20 25,000 words and that is your daily word count That is your goal to hit for every day of typing your book or recording your book Step number three self-explanatory write or record your book until that first draft is done So if you're writing just go into Google Docs You can see this is in a Google Doc right here type it gets type it out Spend time putting in the work and creating the content for however long that you set this this timeline for right So if it's 14 days make sure every day for 14 days You're going in and you're putting in the work to hit this word count here Okay, if you're recording it's gonna be a lot faster But you're probably gonna have to do a lot more editing because when you're talking into something There's a lot of ums and awes and a lot of places where you get hung up So that's that number three write or record until your first draft is done From there step four is to spice up your draft by adding chapter summaries checklist quotes stories and images So let me show you an example You can see here if I scroll down I have Quotes here at the beginning of some of the chapters right and make makes it a little more interesting and makes it a pop a little more I added some screenshots of some examples right from whatever I'm explaining in here in this chapter I've added chapter summaries right so chapter takeaways when whatever we're covering in the chapter I like to recap it here, and I'm basically just copying and pasting the most important concepts from the chapter and also at the end of Every main part or main section I have a checklist and you don't have to do all this in the beginning at the very least I recommend you add some photos or images and a chapter summary. You don't have to do the quotes and the End of chapter checklist like this, but over time when you get better at creating books I didn't have this in my first one, but this really does help with getting people to Understand your concepts and understand the content in your book Okay, so that is spicing up your draft adding chapter summaries checklist quotes stories and images Step five is to get your cover designed So you can hire someone on Fiverr or Upwork for pretty inexpensive leaf a hundred dollars or less to design your book cover What I've done is I design all my covers in Canva myself And I don't put too much time or effort into it if you look here. This is info product empire This is my most recent book All I did was pull a royalty free image off the web. I put the title here of the book I put the the hook or the sub headline and my name. That's it right there This is our book cover right here. This is exactly what I did for my other two books as well This took me about 20 minutes to create so not long at all I just want to get version 1.0 out the door and it ended up selling well So I didn't change anything so that is step number five if you want to go to Fiverr. You can just go here and All you got to do is type in ebook cover Sort by best-selling and you can do some research on what whoever style fits you most You just look for people who have good reviews, right? You can see all these have a thousand plus reviews You can see the prices here You can click into them look at examples and pick someone that fits with your style Okay, it's really as simple as that don't over complicate this part because The most important part is that you get your book written and launched so that you can start getting customers and start getting readers And from there you can you can optimize based on feedback So that's step number five getting your cover design step six is to proofread and edit your book So what you want to do is just it's as simple as going through and reading your book and Taking out any pieces that don't make sense or that are confusing and making your book easier to read So a lot of people when they edit what they do is they go and they try to add more stuff They try to add more content what I try to do is cut it down by 10 to 15 percent and only add in the pieces That the reader most needs to know and wants to know so I go through here I remove a lot of stuff. I probably removed is a hundred and sixty six pages I think I removed about 40 pages of content on this that just didn't need to be in here And that's what you want to do is take out any piece that is confusing or doesn't need to be That that as that causes bloat to the book So just take out whatever doesn't need to be in here any fluff and only include the important pieces And this step seven is to get your book Formatted and formatted meaning that it can be read on Kindle It can be read on an iPad or an iPhone So usually what I like to do is hire someone on the Fiverr Upwork to give me a PDF Moby and EPUB formats, right? So I'll put it here PDF Moby and EPUB and And this will allow me to sell this book and get it read on every different platform and device Doesn't matter what people are using so that's what it means by getting my book formatted And that is a seven seven step process for creating and writing your book Outline the content of your book title hook chapters table of contents set a daily writing goal for Writing or recording your book if you want to record use rev.com Write and record until that first draft is done Spice it up by adding chapter summaries checklists quotes stories and images get your cover designed or do it yourself in Canva Proof read and edit your book and remove out take out any fluff or things that don't need to be there and then get it Formatted so that someone on any device that they're using can read your book and consume your book So that is it for this first digital product idea number one all about an ebook As you can see the steps. There's nothing. There's no secret formula here It really is just coming up with an idea for your book going out writing it spending the time to get it done And once you have a book you have this product that can be sold Automatically generate you passive income. I hate saying that but it can help you generate automatic sales while you sleep When you have this book ready for ready for you to sell So I think books are an amazing tool to grow your business and get customers and to build up that relationship with your customers and get them to check out your premium offers So go out if you have that expertise that knowledge that skill set I recommend you go and create a book write a book so that you can have that as your as your storefront that first product that people see But that is it for that first digital product idea.
