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.

RTIR.com has a large list of authors, business owners, activists and more wanting to gain exposure for their product or services. You get to pick their brain for 1/2 an hour or more. You then edit the content and sell it or give it away. They get to plug their product or service during the interview. They end up being exposed to your customers and you get free content. 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 produce your first interview simply go to RTIR.com and click on "Find A Guest". Then choose the subject area and you'll see a list of personalities you can contact to request an interview with - email and phone number are usually given. Send off or call for a couple of dozen requests in your field and if you only get one response, you have the opportunity to create your first (or 7th or 15th) info 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.
