Many people breaking into the product development business often get stalled on their first project, should they create a report, or a dvd or and audio program or just start blogging… I’m going to recommend that you do an interview. The great thing is, you don’t have to personally know the person you want to interview nor hunt through search engine listings looking for people willing to do interviews. There’s an easy to use site called RTIR.com that takes care of all of that for you.
RTIR.com has a large list of authors, business owners, activists and more wanting to gain exposure for their product or services. You get to pick their brain for 1/2 an hour or more. You then edit the content and sell it or give it away. They get to plug their product or service during the interview. They end up being exposed to your customers and you get free content. It’s a win-win situation.
The site covers a broad spectrum of topics including (but not limited to): Business Children Consumer Advice Crime, Law Health, Fitness History Holidays How-To Music New Age Parenting Personal Finances Politics Self Help Technology Travel War, Military Women’s Issues
To complete your first information product go to RTIR.co and click on the icon “Find A Guest”. On the next screen choose a relevant subject area and you’ll retrieve a listing of all the people wishing to do interviews. Remember – these people are seeking interviews! Clicking on a link “more” under a heading will give you an email address and usually a contact number. Call or email each of the people you wish to interview. If you get even one response, you’ll have started the process of developing your first information product.
Once you have someone to do the interview with, generate a list of questions relevant to the expertise of the guest. Send them a copy of the best questions before hand. Set up a time and date to do the interview and make sure you’re on time! When the time comes, record the call using Skype and PowerGramo Recorder. Ask your questions quickly and try not to suprise your guest with any unexpected questions. Once completed you can begin editing the program using Audacity, create a CD with MagicISO, Nero or Daemon Tools or just leave it as an mp3. If you have a CD upload it to Kunaki and you can start selling it from there immediately. Promote it on your blog or eBay and wait for your first sale. It’s that easy!
It won’t be perfect, but by having an expert in your field answering questions, you will ensure your product is chock full of great, useful information. Plus, it doesn’t have to cost you a penny.
