How to Write and Sell a Money-Making How-to Report

by Andy Ballentine and Merlin-Publishing.com

How to Write a Report: This is the "real" Money Maker in the Information business - the basic "How To" Report.

It's something anyone can produce, and with all the proper ingredients at the right time, you can become independently wealthy!

The hard part, of course, is getting all the proper ingredients at the right time.

Your basic "Money Making Report" is usually two to four pages in length, sells for $5-$15, and outlines instructions, details, or a "How To" method, for solving a problem, making more money, saving money, attaining greater happiness, or fulfilling an
ambition or desire.

One of the most successful reports was, and still is, a short report on How To Keep Moles Out Of Your Yard, by one of the deans of self-publishing, Jerry Buchanan.

Another of the most successful and biggest money-makers ever written, had to do with the many different ways to prepare and serve hamburgers!

When it comes to how to write a report, simple, basic, grass roots kind of information is what we're talking about!

Any man, woman or child can write a saleable report on any subject - providing he or she has knowledge of that subject through personal experience, research, or both.

A lot of women write successful money-making reports based upon better ways of solving household problems.

And a lot of men write successful money-making reports on how to get greater pleasure from leisure time activities such as fishing, woodworking, or other hobbies.

The list of subjects one can write about is endless, and reports on how to make more money easier and faster are no more limited to male authors than expertise in cooking is limited to female authors.

Writing your report is easy and quite simple.

However, it does take longer, and requires more sweat, blood and anguish for some people to produce a "finished" product that it does others, even if they are equally intelligent and knowledgeable.

The best advice anyone can give you on how to write a money-making report is to advise you to write as though you were talking to someone - as though you were instructing your next door neighbor via the telephone on the subject at hand.

I use the word telephone here to point out that regardless of how much you wave your arm s around, point your finger, or even draw pictures, you aren't getting the message across, and your neighbor won't "see" what you're talking about until you tell him in the kind of language he can understand.

Write in a style similar to the book reports you used to give when you were in the 6th grade.

Do you remember the "theme papers" you used to have to research, outline and write for end of term exams?

You got a good grade if you presented your material in a straightforward style.
