There are many, many ways to come up with ideas for creating your next information product. In this article we are going to go over 3 simple ways that will keep you busy throughout the year and give you plenty of ideas for future products.

Hopefully you have already created your first information product. If not, don’t worry you can still use these methods to pump your first one out. Once you have created a successful information product, it is important to follow up on your success with another product. I generally follow up with another product that is either in the same niche or at least closely related. Regardless of whether you create another product in the same niche or go on to a new niche, it is vital to your success to use the momentum from your first product to fuel your second, and so on.

A is for ASK
Hopefully you have built a list from the information products you have already created. If this is your first product then ensure that you have a list building system set up and are building a list from the beginning. If you do have a list then getting ideas for your next product are just a few e-mails away. Your list will not only make you money by purchasing your products, it can be a great source of ideas when it comes to product creation. Create a survey using a free online survey program (like SurveyMonkey.com) and ask your customers what topic they are most interested in learning about next. You can make the questions multiple choice and give them a few different options. Add the link to the survey in your autoresponder program and then gather the results from your previous buyers.

This product idea method works extremely well because you have already established yourself in the niche, and you know that you have ready made buyers if you can create a product that your list is looking for. Since surveys are so easy to set up, this is a perfect way to see what your list wants. Whatever it is they want is what you will create for them.

B is for BROWSE
One surefire way to come up with a great product idea is to check out different affiliate networks, like Clickbank, Ejunkie or Paydotcom. You are not looking to find products and copy/re-hash them but rather you want to find gaps in that specific market and fill those gaps. For example, if you’re looking through Clickbank and notice there are a lot of products on growing an organic garden, you know that the market must be profitable or there would not be many products. However, you also notice that not one of these books talks about how to store the abundance from your organic garden. This is an important part of making the most out of your garden. Since so many people are growing organic gardens these days, it’s going to be a profitable niche. On top of that, you can contact one of the people who have a gardening eBook and possibly do a joint venture with them.

C is for CHECKING
If you want to make money fast and furious then keep your eyes on the trends that are taking place. You can check sites like Google Trends which can help you find out what topics are growing in popularity. By jumping on a new and popular, rising topic, you can be the first to market with a topical information product. Being the first product in a particular niche can secure your dominance in that niche, even after other people jump on the bandwagon. Keep an eye on peaking trends and see how you can create a product to meet the needs of those in on that trend.

Any one of the methods above could give you enough topics for your next ten products, but don’t sit on your laurels after you’ve created your first product. Use that momentum to jump on the next product idea and you’ll be able to build a long term information marketing business.
