HOW TO CREATE YOUR FIRST PAID GUIDE EASILY & QUICKLY

Pick Your Topic

• Choose one main idea you want to teach or explain.

• If you’re stuck on niching down the topic so it’s less broad and overwhelming, use ChatGPT.

Plan Your Pages

• Page 1: Cover Page (Title, your name, and a picture)

• Page 2: Table of Contents (List of what’s inside)

• Page 3: Introduction (What the guide is about and why it’s useful)

• Pages 4-8: Main Content (Break your idea into 5 small parts, one for each page)

• Page 9: Conclusion (Summarize what you taught)

• Page 10: About You (A little bit about who you are)

Write Your Content

• Use simple words and short sentences.

• Explain each part of your idea clearly.

• Sometimes it’s easier to talk out an idea - use Otter.ai to record yourself speaking and it will transcribe it. Use ChatGPT to simplify the rambling or create it into the actual guide/template itself.

Add Pictures and Designs

• Use free tools like Canva or Pexels to add pictures and make it look nice (they also have templates that take the guesswork out of it)

Check Your Work

• Read it over to make sure it makes sense and there are no mistakes.

• Upload the completed file (PDF) to ChatGPT and have it analyzed for issues. Have it make suggestions if there are gaps in knowledge or steps.

Save and Share

• Save your guide as a PDF and share it with others.

• Use something simple like Beacons to sell your digital products quick & easy with no technical skills and minimal headaches ($30/mo - no processing fees!!)
