There are TONS of things you find interesting in your life. You
could write an informational tips booklet about any one of them
to help other people learn what you know, and make some money
from the booklets in the process. Where is the place for you to
start?
First, give thought to whether you want your booklet to have a
two-fold function as a marketing piece for a current business
you own and also an income stream unto itself. That will narrow
your choices somewhat. Choosing a topic that has nothing at all
to do with your business means your marketing efforts will be
split between marketing your business and marketing the booklet.
Why not align them so they cross market each other? You may have
a passion about something that has nothing to do with your
business. If that passion is so strong that you just have to do
it, then you already know your answer. Otherwise, select a topic
related to your business activities.
Now that you have narrowed it to something connected to your
business, consider whether the booklet needs to be an overview
of the topic you are promoting, or if it needs to focus on one
specific aspect of something you know is your big seller or
greatest profit service or product of your business. Starting
with an overview booklet and spinning out more specialized
booklets later is something that will provide good opportunities
for re-sales to the people who bought your first booklet,
opportunities for you to stay in front of those same clients.
They could become buyers of larger quantities, larger services
or become ongoing customers of a very consistent volume of what
you have.
A public speaker could do a booklet mirroring each of the topics
on which they speak. A consultant can focus on each of the areas
within their specialty. A manufacturer would be likely to create
a booklet on the uses and benefits of specific product lines. A
therapist could consider doing one on coping mechanisms for
different syndromes.
You may find yourself wandering in your thoughts as you begin
the first booklet. It just might be that you are writing two
booklets at once. Keep yourself to writing no more than two
booklets at a time to assure completing them. Once those are
done, start the next two! Or, you could realize that one 16-page
booklet accomplished all that you wanted it to,once you
identified your most appropriate starting place.
The next challenge will be what to do with the booklet once you
have written and produced. There are untold ways to promote your
booklet. For more information on how to write and market
