Does this scenario sound familiar?

You've got a great idea for a fantastic eBook or information product.

The ideas are flowing. They're coming at you so fast you can't type fast enough!

You sit at your computer hour after hour, spending time away from your family, and you still haven't finished your book. You're embarrassed every time someone asks you when you plan to be finished, or how long have you been writing this book, or worse yet, "Are you really writing a book or just pretending you are?"

The methods suggested in "How To Get Your Info-Product To Market With Lightning Speed!" will be of help to you to derail this scenario and get you on the track to prodh, Consultant, Speaker, said, "Bravo, Patsy. You're answering the question that most of us writers and entrepreneurs have, how do we get these ideas from our hearts and our minds onto paper?"

Following the seven steps in the idea below will get you on the right track. This is just one of the 14 ideas you'll find in the book.

You know your subject. Either it's something you've done in the past, it's a solution you've come up with for a problem that you were able to solve, your hobby, or maybe it's just something that you're very interested in so you've done some research on it. Whatever it is, you know your subject. The problem is getting that information from your mind, heart and head onto paper.

You should first, however, do a little more research to make sure that this subject is something other people will be interested in. Then write out an outline of your subject, just about 12 items that you want to cover. Each of those items is a chapter for your book, and all you have to do is expand on those ideas.

Call a friend, one you see quite often anyway and invite them to lunch, or better yet, invite them over to your house for lunch. Just make sure wherever you go is very quiet. Even a picnic will do. Tell them you want about an hour of their time.

Take along your digital recorder and over lunch, while you and your friend are enjoying each other's company, tell them your story or give them the information about your subject, just talk to them as you normally would. Only this time you'll be recording your conversation.

They may ask you questions for clarification. This is even better because it gives you a chance to clarify any questions that might come up and need to be explored more fully. The enthusiasm you feel for this information will come through and your friend will get excited about it, too.

By the time you've finished your lunch, you will probably have at least one chapter of your book finished, perhaps more, perhaps even the whole book. You talk at approximately 150 words a minute. One hour will equal between 15-25 pages. If you need more in order to finish your book, ask your friend (or another friend) to lunch and do the same thing again.
You can transcribe it yourself from the audio, but the best thing to do is to send it to someone else who is experienced in transcribing audios. It takes approximately 4 hours for an experienced transcriptionist with the right equipment to type each hour of audio, so why spend your time doing it when you can get it done so much easier and faster by someone else and I think you'll find that this is more economical than you think it would be.

When you get the transcript back, you'll have a Word document which you can then edit. The whole process has taken you less than a week and you're well on your way to having your product ready for the market. No more sweating over a hot computer, with little results.

That's just one of the ways suggested in the book "How To Get Your Info-Product To Market With Lightning Speed!" You'll find many more and each of them will probably trigger more ideas of your own.
