Description: Surely, you’ve all hear by now about informational products. If not, it’s all about creating a product that provides needed or wanted information to others . . . information others will be willing to pay for.
And, it’s not difficult at all.
So, what might be an example of an informational product?
Simple, anything that, again, will provide people with information / knowledge they need or want. Information that will solve a person’s problem or will help them get where they want to be. It might be a report, an e-book, a workshop, you get the idea.
To help you get in the informational product game, Writers on the Move is hosting a writing workshop presented by Karen Cioffi that will give you the steps you need to get where you want to be: creating and selling informational products.

Most writers realize just how useful e-books can be. From giving away as free incentives to subscribe to your site, to selling them on sites such as Kindle, Smashwords, and Lulu, they increase visibility and can earn you an income. They are a great marketing tool and simple to create.
Thanks to Suzanne Lieurance, the Working Writer's Coach, I have the opportunity to offer a free chat workshop at:
http://workingwriterscoach.com Having created a number of e-books, I thought it would be helpful to offer a workshop like this to help other writers create an e-book to offer on their sites for an enticement to answer the call-to-action, or to publish and earn money.

Well, the date's set. On May 1st, I'll be giving a FREE one day workshop on the basics of writing for children.

Have you written a children’s story or other fiction story and aren’t sure if it’s in good enough shape to submit to agents or publishers? Do you know proper punctuation and formatting?
