Many people breaking into the product development business often get stalled on their first project, should they create a report, or a dvd or and audio program or just start blogging... I'm going to recommend that you do an interview. The great thing is, you don't have to personally know the person you want to interview nor hunt through search engine listings looking for people willing to do interviews. There's an easy to use site called RTIR.com that takes care of all of that for you.

RTIR.com has a large list of authors, business owners, activists and more wanting to gain exposure for their product or services. You get to pick their brain for 1/2 an hour or more. You then edit the content and sell it or give it away. They get to plug their product or service during the interview. They end up being exposed to your customers and you get free content. It's a win-win situation.

The site covers a broad spectrum of topics including (but not limited to): Business Consumer Advice Crime, Law Education Family Issues Health, Fitness History How-To Music New Age Personal Finances Pets Politics Religion Self Help Technology Travel Women's Issues

To produce your first interview simply go to RTIR.com and click on "Find A Guest". Then choose the subject area and you'll see a list of personalities you can contact to request an interview with - email and phone number are usually given. Send off or call for a couple of dozen requests in your field and if you only get one response, you have the opportunity to create your first (or 7th or 15th) info product.

Once you have a positive response, brainstorm a list of questions specific to what your guest wants to talk about. Come up with 25-50 possible questions and send them to the guest to review, noting that you probably won't get through all of them in your agreed upon time. Note any recommendations they make. On the big day, record the call using Skype and PowerGramo Recorder. Then you can immediately start editing using Audacity. Then create a CD with MagicISO, Nero or Daemon Tools. Once you have the cd, upload it to Kunaki and you can start selling it immediately on eBay or on your blog.

It won't be perfect, but by having an expert in your field answering questions, you will ensure your product is chock full of great, useful information. Plus, it doesn't have to cost you a penny.
