Notes on Amy Hoy's and Kelly Parkinson's Infoproducts show and tell.

Disclaimer: some of this stuff wasn’t explicitly said, it’s my interpretation of it (plus own ideas)

  • Could just write blog articles and just collect/expand them into an ebook.
  • people wouldn’t want to pay lots of times for each chapter, but it’s good to release early. Ways to get round this:
    - have a season ‘pass’ like peepcode where people can pay upfront for the whole thing or just buy one edition if that’s all they want.
    OR:
    - release book early with only one or two chapters for a cheap price, but increase the price as you add more content. Early buyers can get updates for free as they come out.
  • Make something that makes people feel better about themselves or relieves pain.
