![Page 2: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What Is Value?• Each of us has a different way of assigning
value to things
• To value/evaluate something is to compare it to other things, including the cost, and then to decide whether or not it’s “worth it”
• By understanding what your customer values, you can create more valuable content
![Page 3: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Making Information Valuable• What makes information more or less
valuable?
• One aspect of value is the result it provides if followed by your student-customer
• Another aspect is the perception of the value of the information
![Page 4: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Increase The Value Of Your Information• If you identify the most valuable information
you have for your customers and build your product around it, you can sell more products, for more money
• If you just “teach what you know” you’re unlikely to focus on what’s most valuable to your customer, and unlikely to create a product that “sells itself”
![Page 5: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mindset 1: Take Responsibility• Most people who create information products
only take responsibility for the “teaching”
• By going further, and taking on the mindset that you’re responsible for helping your student get a result, it changes how you teach
• This mindset keeps you focused on helping people take action (instead of just memorizing)
![Page 6: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mindset 2: People Pay More For Tangibles• When someone is spending money, it’s easier
for them if they can imagine getting something specific, tangible, measurable
• Focus on helping people achieve specific results and outcomes in your product
• Fit in the “softer” stuff around the tangibles
![Page 7: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mindset 3: Validate Their Reality• A person who is going to buy information
from you is most likely in a situation where they are feeling some level of pressure
• When we get into situations where we have strong needs, we often feel fear, shame, etc.
• As you teach in your product, validate the reality of your customer
![Page 8: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mindset 4: “I See You”• The next step after validating someone’s
reality is to teach in a way that makes it easy to accept and implement
• Consider the situation that your student is in, and make what you’re teaching them easy to learn, and easy to implement
• Say things in their language, as well
![Page 9: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mindset 5: Look For Need Patterns• If possible, talk to prospective customers, and ask
them about their motives and motivations • As you listen, take special note of the patterns of
things that they say that are most motivating to them
• It’s these patterns that act as the clues to discover what will be most valuable to include in your product
![Page 10: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mindset 6: Talk To Irrational Needs• Motivation is about emotion, which reminds
us that what people think they need is actually irrational, in most cases
• Even though motivation is usually irrational, that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant
• By talking to irrational needs first, you build rapport and enter the reality of your student
![Page 11: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Start With Fears & Desires• What is your biggest fear or frustration?
• What is your want or aspiration?
• How would things turn out, if they went perfectly?
• How do you know when you’re getting the result that you want?
![Page 12: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Product Exercise #1: What Is Value?• What are your customer’s biggest fears and desires?
• What are the highest value results that your customer would like to achieve?
• Why are each of these things valuable?
• What is the value of each, in terms of time saved, money saved, convenience, emotional benefit, etc.?

Part 2
![Page 15: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Organizing Your Information• The general rule in communication is that
whatever you say will be misunderstood
• For this reason, we use “frameworks” in order to make our information easy to understand - and to minimize misunderstanding
• As a general rule, you need to say something at least three different ways to make sure it’s understood
![Page 16: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Start With Mindset Shifts• I like to start by teaching any key mindsets or
“mindset shifts” that need to be made internally - before someone can be effective with content
• This is where you address misconceptions, point out distinctions, and help your student understand the values they need to internalize
• By presenting “mindsets” you also avoid coming across as authoritarian, fundamentalist, etc.
![Page 17: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Learning “Supermodel”• WHY: Motivate to learn
• WHAT: Explain the theory or model
• HOW: Give them a step by step procedure
• WHAT IF: Take action and learn from experience
![Page 18: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ways Of Saying “Why”
Get Avoid
Do
Don’t Do
If you do this,you get this
If you do this, you avoid this
If you don’t do this, you get this
If you don’t do this, you avoid this
![Page 19: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ways Of Saying “What”• The theory or model

Part 3
![Page 25: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Name Your Concepts• Increases the perceived value by 10x-100x
• Use value-enhancing words like technique, system, method, test, etc. “The Kiss Test”
• When you name an idea or technique, you turn it from “information” into “intellectual property” - you legitimize it
![Page 26: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Write Your Marketing First• Mel Martin from Boardroom’s secret weapon
• If you begin by imagining the marketing piece you’re going to write to sell your digital product, it reminds you of what to include in the product itself
• As you do this, challenge yourself to make the product sound as valuable as possible
![Page 27: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Begin A Section With An Exercise• As you build your product outline, start each
section by creating the exercise that you’ll do at the end - start with the ACTION
• By beginning with the end in mind, it makes it much easier to choose and organize content
• The exercise also reminds you what your student will need to know in order to do it
![Page 28: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Start With An Audio Product• My favorite format for a digital product is a
simple audio course that’s 6-10 sessions
• Book a live webinar in advance, then record the sessions to use as your product content
• Bonus: PowerPoint or Keynote slides act as your guides, and keep you on track
![Page 29: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Capture Your Inspirations• Once you decide to create a product, you’ll
notice that ideas start coming to you constantly
• It’s important to capture these ideas somewhere, so you can refer to them later
• I use Simplenote & Evernote, because they sync across my devices, and are “always on”
![Page 30: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Put It On The Calendar!• My key “productivity secret” when it comes to
creating digital products is to “put it on the calendar” - and start inviting people
• Something happens when I know that others will be there waiting to learn from me
• Choose a date now, and put it on the calendar
![Page 31: Module 2 - Products3.amazonaws.com/streaming_alt/digital_product_blueprint/...Increase The Value Of Your Information • If you identify the most valuable information you have for](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110222/5aa3b7aa7f8b9a1f6d8eea67/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
