If you're looking to create your first information product but are having a hard time coming up with ideas, then I will suggest you do an interview. Of course, you're probably saying - but I don't know anyone to interview! The best bit is: you don't need to, just go to RTIR.com to find people in your area of expertise who are looking to gain exposure.

The site lists a vast amount of people wanting to get their name out and willing to do interviews. You interview them and get all the interesting information from them about their area of expertise, then you edit the program and start selling it. They get to plug their own product sometime during the presentation and are exposed to all of your customers. 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 a positive response, brainstorm a list of questions specific to what your guest wants to talk about. Come up with 25-50 possible questions and send them to the guest to review, noting that you probably won't get through all of them in your agreed upon time. Note any recommendations they make. On the big day, record the call using Skype and PowerGramo Recorder. Then you can immediately start editing using Audacity. Then create a CD with MagicISO, Nero or Daemon Tools. Once you have the cd, upload it to Kunaki and you can start selling it immediately on eBay or on your blog.

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.
