How to Create an Information Product, Step by Step

“Content creation is the art of transforming thoughts, knowledge, and imagination into a masterpiece that inspires, educates, and connects with hearts and minds.” – Anonymous

Are you wondering how to create an information product?  Creating and selling information products has become an increasingly popular way to share knowledge and generate income. One effective approach to creating a simple yet impactful information product is by using your existing blog content.

By repurposing and organizing a series of related blog posts, you can create a valuable information product that’ll help your audience solve a particular problem. For example, if you had a blog on homeschooling, you might have some posts on topics such as how to get started with homeschooling, how to set up your curriculum, ways to motivate your students, and how to plan your days to get more done, etc. You could use all these posts to create a product entitled, Homeschooling Success for the Busy Mom.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the process of transforming your blog posts into an information product, step by step.

1. Choose a Topic: Select a specific topic or theme that you have covered in your blog posts. You may want to create a comprehensive report, a collection of tips, or a “How-to” guide on a topic your audience will find valuable.

2. Plan Your Content: Look over your blog posts and find the ones that are the most relevant to your chosen topic. Then lay them out in your document. Create a logical flow that will make sense to your readers.

3. Edit: Change your blog posts to fit the format of the information product you’re creating. Check for clarity, consistency, and cohesiveness. Add transitions to create a smooth flow from one blog post to the next. Also, make sure it doesn’t repeat too much of the same information throughout the product.

4. Organize and Structure: Once the blog posts are organized in your document, go through and add an introduction, and a conclusion with action steps for the reader. The idea is to make the content flow well. Your introduction should tell them what you’re going to explain within the information product. Help your introduction make more of an impact by using engaging anecdotes, statistics, or thought-provoking questions.

5. Design and Format: Give your information product a polished and professional look. Format it in a visually appealing way by using headings, bullet points, and appropriate fonts. Consider adding quotes, stories, graphics or illustrations to make it more exciting and easier to read.

6. Create a Cover and Title: Design an eye-catching cover for your information product. Choose a compelling title that accurately reflects the content and entices potential customers to want to read it.

7. Add More Value: Include additional resources or bonuses that complement the content of your information product. This could be worksheets, checklists, templates, or exclusive access to a webinar or video tutorial related to the topic.

8. Save as a PDF Format: Save your compiled blog posts as a PDF document. This allows for easy distribution and ensures that your information product maintains its formatting across different devices.

9. Decide on the Price: Unless you’re planning to give your product away in order to build your list or for marketing purposes, you’ll need to decide on a price and and where to sell it. Set the price for your information product based on its value and the expectations of your target audience. You may want to see what similar products are selling for.

10. Create a Sales Page: Develop a persuasive sales page that highlights the benefits of your information product and effectively communicates its value to potential buyers. Come up with persuasive and engaging copy, clearly stating the problem your product solves and the benefits it offers.

11. Decide Where to Sell It: You could sell it right from your website or on an e-commerce platform like PayHip. (PayHip offers easy set-up and lets you get started for free.)

12. Spread the Word: Develop a plan to let more people know about your information product. Share exciting details on your blog, post about it on social media platforms, mention it in the emails to your subscribers, and engage with relevant communities you’re a part of.

Now that you know how to create an information product, remember, the key to success lies in providing valuable content, content that’s helpful and easy to take action on. By repurposing your blog posts, you can save time, and leverage your existing expertise and content to create a valuable resource that people will be happy to buy and which will further establish your authority in your industry.
