For a while now I have been telling my students to create their own product. Want to know the most common objections?

"But I can't write." "I don't have any ideas." "Everything has been done before."

Well, here is a great way to generate your first product. Find someone who is interesting and interview them. Really, it is that easy. Surely, you know someone who is very good at what they do. Why not write a list of 10-15 questions, arrange a time to ask them and record the interview?

Now, before you counter with all the reasons why it will not work, let me cover the big ones:

What kind of topics make for good interviews? Anything that someone would be interested in and pay money for. Do you know someone who is a whiz at marketing? Someone who is good at explaining taxes? Someone who knows how to put on a great wedding while saving money? Someone who knows how to shoot spectacular pictures? The list is endless!

Why would an expert agree to be interviewed? If they are market savvy, they understand the power of having a third party interview them...especially if that third party has a list of regular readers (you are building your list, aren't you?). You can reach people that have never heard of them and perhaps send customers their way. If they aren't market savvy, perhaps you can convince them that this is a great way to get their name out there. You can even suggest splitting the profits from the sale of the CD's with them. After you account for the costs of the blank CD, CD label, case, case insert and shipping; you can then split the profit with your interviewee. Or you can sell your CD's at wholesale to them and they can put them on their own website (actually, this is a simpler way to do it).

I have no idea what his field of expertise is like! You don't need to have an idea of what or how. He is the "expert" and you are the "reporter". Just guide the expert through the interview in the manner which helps both of you get what you want. Sending in the questions beforehand is a good way to avoid being caught off-guard and helps the interview go smoothly. Ask about his website and the products he's selling. Also, ask the expert if there are any questions that are off- topic. He may not want to reveal his clients or the mark-up of his products. Those are a few good presentation tips you can use.

If you want the fastest way to create a product on your own and start a business online, then interviewing others is the way to go. An interview each month should guarantee you tons of resources in a short span of time.
