As an example, let's assume that you wish to write a book on Fabulous Weddings for Less. As a reporter, you are expected to find the information you need. This is done by tracking down experts and conducting interviews.

If you are a reporter, you use interviews to develop valuable information for your e-book. Be creative in finding experts. Most experts will share information freely, especially if you think them in your e-book. Include their contact information, if appropriate - your experts will appreciate the free advertising.

Be creative when seeking out experts. Ask florists, pastors, and wedding planners - anyone who might have great information. Each and every expert has at least one tip that could help rocket your e-book to success.

I prefer to record interviews so I have a record of what was said. Use decent equipment that makes CD-quality sound. You can always convert the recordings to different file formats once they are in your computer.

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!
