Ok, so you want to write a best-selling e-book in 1 month. First, you need to decide - are you an expert or a reporter?
Acting as a reporter can help you tackle your e-book project. Reporters are not experts, but they are expert at finding information. As a reporter, you must first find experts who can help you write an e-book on, for example, Top Ten Money-Saving Wedding Tips.
If you are a reporter, you use interviews to develop valuable information for your e-book. Be creative in finding experts. Most experts will share information freely, especially if you think them in your e-book. Include their contact information, if appropriate - your experts will appreciate the free advertising.
Dont just interview your florist. Look for other contacts, other vendors who could help you. Wedding planners know how to get the right look for less; pastors can offer tips to couples who want to write their own vows. Collect information, and offer something meaty for your clients to read!
When you record the interview, use equipment that makes CD quality sound. This includes an Olympus DM10 and a lapel mike. You can convert the recordings to mp3 or wave files.
For an interview, bring two lapel mics and a Y-jack (I found mine at Wal-Mart).I use this setup to interview many people, even over the phone. It offers great quality sound at a reasonable price.
You may be saying to yourself, “Now why would I want all these recordings?”
This part really is the easy part, because you just take the interview and have somebody transcribe it for you, or you transcribe it yourself.You can also use the recordings as a bonus product to add value to your overall package.
What Im trying to get across is recordings can be a very easy way to write your e-book in 1 month, especially when youre interviewing other people who are basically writing it for you.
