FEATURE: <\/strong>How to Create a Product in Seven Days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taken from my book ‘Get Paid For Who You Are<\/a>‘<\/span><\/h3>\n

In our last newsletter<\/a> we discussed why you need a product. This time, we are reviewing how to create a product in 7 days.<\/p>\n

How to Create a Product in Seven Days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While I call this section: \u201cHow to create a product in seven days,\u201d you can really do this in 7 hours!\u00a0 It’s that hot.<\/p>\n

Here are the magic six steps:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Record a Teleclass<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do 4-5 versions of the same teleclass. Each time you will refine and improve it. Then choose the best recording and that\u2019s your product.<\/p>\n

2. Edit Your Audio Files <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create an edited version of your audio file. You can find someone on www.elance.com to add music at the beginning and end and take out any irrelevant sections like the 5 minutes where you are waiting for people to join the call. This should cost you under $100.<\/p>\n

3. Create a Transcript <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create a transcript. Again, go to www.elance.com<\/a> and find someone to turn one hour of audio into a polished transcript for $50 to $150. For bonus points, have them do a little editing to take out the ummms and errrrs and have it read a little smoother.<\/p>\n

4. Generate a Special Report <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create a special report. Take that transcript and turn it into a report. Hire an editor to pull out the top seven points, create headlines and sections and format it nicely. You\u2019ve now got a two to four page report.<\/p>\n

5. Create a Product <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create a product. Have you noticed how even when you’re buying a digital download, the sales page shows a nice 3D box with a big headline and a smiling person on it? That\u2019s because it looks more tangible, like something you could hold in your hands, and sells better. Ask a graphic designer on www.elance.com<\/a> for a 3D box to represent your product for under $100.<\/p>\n

6. Create a Physical CD<\/h3>\n

Create a physical CD. Have your new graphic designer tweak the 3D box cover into a flat 2D CD cover. You can sell your CDs from the website, or at your speaking events if you decide to speak to promote your business.<\/p>\n

*** <\/span>
\nDown the track when you want to get fancier, you might create a membership site which people will pay you a monthly fee to access. You might add worksheets, special reports, audio, video, and a discussion forum so your members can support each other. One example is www.GetPaidForWhoYouAre.com\/access<\/strong><\/a> which I created to support readers of my book. For inexpensive software to run this, try www.Wordpress.com combined with a program called Wishlist.<\/p>\n

*** <\/span><\/p>\n

Take Action<\/h3>\n

1) What topic would you LOVE for your teleclass? Would you tell me at the blog<\/a>?<\/p>\n

2) Schedule in time to create your product.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

David Wood<\/p>\n
