Step #1: Choose a Niche

Choose the market for which you will create an info product.

Select your niche based on three factors:

· Interest

· Experience

· Market demand

Your interest and experience in your niche may not be much, but you cannot ignore the market demand. There should be a need for your product in the market. Also, your product must solve a problem for which the market is looking for a solution.

It will be easy for you to create a product if you have interest and experience in your chosen niche. Otherwise, you have to research and acquire knowledge before its creation. It may take some time but, it is not impossible to do.

Everyone has quality. Analyze what you are good at, and then choose your niche.

Step #2: Select an Idea

Now you have to find the idea for your product.

What is an idea?

It is a solution your audience is looking for a problem to make their life better.

So, find the problem. Provide a solution that will make their life better. This problem is the idea of your product.

Step #3: Check Your Idea

You cannot create the product immediately after finding the idea. Analyze whether your idea is profitable or not. There should be a need for your product in the market.

Take feedback from the people by asking questions. You can do this by creating a poll, writing a blog, or social media post.

A few questions you can ask are:

· Do you struggle with [problem]?

· Do you want a better way to do [problem]?

· How likely will you purchase a product that solves [problem]?

You can also run an ad for your target audience and ask them some questions.

It will not cost you much and save you time. You will not end up working on the wrong idea.

Step #4: Choose Your Audience

Every product has a specific target market.

If you create a product for everyone, it will not sell.

For example,

· There is bath soap for dry skin.

· There is bath soap for oily skin.

· There is bath soap for combination skin.

· There is bath soap for sensitive skin.

· There is ayurvedic bath soap.

There is no single soap for everyone.

So, know your audience before product creation. You will create a better and specific product if you know their problems. You will achieve great results.

Step #5: Choose the Format

You can create info products in a variety of formats.

For example,

· Ebooks

· Audio and Video courses

· Webinars

· Live online courses

· Mastermind sessions

Everyone’s preference is different. People may prefer to read, listen, or watch and learn.

A few may be interested in a one-to-one session with a coach. And, some prefer getting trained in an offline environment.

So, pick the right format keeping in mind your product idea and target audience preferences.

Also, take into consideration the cost of your product. Price it reasonably so that your audience can purchase it.

You can start with the Ebook format as there is no cost involved in its production. You can sell it at a lower price, grow your customer base, and gather testimonials. After this, you can create video courses that require some investment.
