Helping people to turn information into highly successful information products that both meet a huge market demand and help their author and marketer build their own branded posiition within their market is my passion.
I’ve seen so many individuals who have lived through incredible challenges in their lives, suffered through massive frustratation, intolerable pressure – almost having given up completely on their lives.
Some shining examples of highly successful information product publishers have emerged from these conditions starting with writing a book or releasing their own ebook.
Here’s a nice example, Amy Tenderich is about to release a book based on her own experiences and research living with diabetes.
You can read her great blog posting announcing the upcoming book here: “The Book I Did Write” Â
What can we learn from Amy’s experience that you can apply to your own life, resulting in writing your own book, ebook or creating your own workshop, seminar or other information products:
1. What challenges are you dealing with in your life today, what research are you conducting that you could later package to help others in your situation? Here are some ideas that may help —
– Dealing with an aging parent
– Raising pre-teens and teenagers
– Fighting weight problems
– Dealing with emotional problems
– Turning a lack of education into solid career or business
– Making a mid-life career or professional change
– and so on…
In each of these cases, you are likely putting in hours of research to help you achieve your end goal, its unlikely you will find answers to all of your questions in one place. You probably will have to research many books, magazine articles, websites, and perhaps even talk to professionals or at least read some trade journals or research.
Just like you, many will follow in your path – you can help them by documenting the results of your research, including the impact it had on your situation -what worked, what didn’t, the ups and downs of your journey and the final system (simply a mix of different information) that you felt worked best in the end.
Using this formula, you can be writing your own book almost instantly – you may already have most of the material in your head or on your desk, the result of a life experience you are going through right now.
Certainly, we go through the details of refining your idea, positioning your topic, outlining and developing your book, ebook or infoproduct and marketing your information over at the InfoMarketersZone, now cases like Amy’s should help you understand that it really is possible for you to succeed writing and releasing your own book or ebook.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks so much for the mention. It’s weird. Diabetes has turned my life upside down, but out of that has grown so much. I truly believe our book can help alleviate some suffering with this condition.
btw, it’s already up at Amazon at this long link:
http://www.amazon.com/Know-Your-Numbers-Outlive-Diabetes/dp/1569242720/sr=8-1/qid=1160418105/ref=sr_1_1/102-4423754-4785741?ie=UTF8&s=books
Yes Amy, I’ve come across so many situations just like this where a life event, illness or experience has turned someone’s life upside down and writing a book or becoming an advisor or coach has helped them to get through it and help others.
Congrats on your successes.
Jeff
