How To Write And Sell Money-Making
"How To" Reports

:: Home » Library » Home Based Business Ideas Part 1

This is the "real" Money Maker in the Mail Order 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 pages in length,
sells for œ6, 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 hambugers!

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
make 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
knowledgable.

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 neighbour
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, point your finger, or even draw pictures,
you aren't getting the message across, and your neighbour 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 form.

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
straighforward style.
