Now I am going to share with you the steps in creating your own information product so that you can start your internet business right away.
1. Do a market research to find out the demand for a particular topic. You go to Yahoo Keyword Selector tool and enter your main topic; this will give you a list of searches related to your keyword - how many people searched for that term. It will also give you an idea of the profitability of your topic.
2. Conduct a competitive analysis before you decided to create the information product of your interest. Make use of Google and Clickbank to check that whether are there similar products on the Internet.
3. After you have done your analysis, create your information product and turn it into an e-book by converting to a .pdf file.
4. With your information product ready, it is now time to build your website. Your website needs to have at least 3 pages, the Opt-In Page, the Pitching Page, and the Thank You Page. The Opt-In Page is used to capture your visitors information like First Name and Email Address, where you can do promote other related affiliate products to them. The Pitching Page is where you sell your product, and the Thank You Page is where your customers download your products.
5. After your website is live on the Internet, the next thing you will need to do consistently is to drive traffic, but not any traffic, drive quality traffic. Using Google Adwords, which is a Pay-per-Click program, is a fast and good way to drive quality leads to your opt-in page.
