There are at least two approaches when you want to write a best selling e-book in 1 month. One is to be the reporter and the other is to be the expert. Now if you know a lot about your topic, say “saving money on weddings”, then, by all means start writing that e-book right now.

But if youre like most of us and youre not sure where to start, then the reporter approach may be the best and quickest approach. The reporter doesnt need to know all the best ways to save money on a wedding, but you know people who do know how to save money.

Once you have identified experts, you can interview them to add valuable information to your book. Perhaps you could interview florists for information on bouquets. A tip – many experts are willing to share their knowledge, especially if you include their contact information in your e-book as a thank you. This is valuable free advertising for your florists, wedding planners, pastors, and more.

What about interviewing a caterer, a DJ, a limousine company, and a wedding dress shop. You get the picture. How many people and how many vendors can you interview? Each one of those people would probably have a tip on how to save money on a wedding.

When performing interviews, it is a good idea to record the interview with CD-quality sound. These recordings can later be converted to other file formats, like MP3 or .wav files. I preferred to use a lapel mic and an Olympus DM10.

When I am interviewing, I use a Y-jack (picked up at WalMart) and two mics. This offers excellent sound. Since I interview many people, even over the phone, I rely on this system.

So, what is the point of all these recordings?

First, you have a record of the interview. Hire someone to transcribe it, or transcribe it yourself, if you would like a written record. These recordings are also valuable as a bonus product, to encourage sales of your product.

Using recordings, you can write your e-book in 1 month. These recorded interviews will practically write the book for you!
