Q: Is there a way I can use reports to generate income?

A: A great way to break into creating information products is using small reports to generate income.

Some benefits to creating them are:

* It is relatively easy to start.
* There isn’t much up front cost needed.
* You don’t need special skills or training.

Here are some tips and benefits to help get you started and some to help you as you go along:

* You simply create the product once and a copy is downloaded by each customer.
* You do not have to pay printers’ fees.
* No shipping fees.
* No repetitive production costs.
* Small reports allow you to create passive income from home and you can do so around your busy schedule.
* Unlike a traditional job, you can earn money over and over again for the work you put into the creation of the report.
* When you create the small report, you put the effort into it once but it can be sold over and over gain.
* You will have to promote your report.
* You can wake up in the mornings to find that you made money while sleeping.
* Unlike an e-book, the small report only needs 10 or 15 pages. Those can easily be written within a few days.
* No prior writing experience is needed and as long as you can type and have good grammar and language skills, you are all set! If writing is not something you want to do, you can hire a ghostwriter to create the report for you.

Remember, you will need to have a computer with a word processing program in order to type the report. You might want to consider converting the finished product into a PDF file to insure customers will be able to read it. Free PDF converters can be found on the web; Google docs is a great place to start!

Other tools you will need include a domain name with website hosting in order to promote and sell your report. A shopping cart system such as www.wahmcart.com will make uploading and selling your reports easy. You may also want to consider establishing an affiliate program in order to sell even more reports.
